So I had a prison with just over 100 prisoners and everything was running fine on its own. I even had it divided into to different prison buildings so that I could experiment with prison setups. Then the kitchen of one building caught fire while I simultaneously got dozens of extra prisoners from another event. I called the firemen, but it took me a while to figure out that firemen were issued orders with right-clicking instead of left-clicking. By the time I had them putting out the fire, I'd already lost about 50 people to the fire.

At the same time as the fire, the other prison building had a sudden riot where at least a dozen guards died. The rioting prisoners were stopped in the infirmary, but the guards refused to go into the building to catch the last dozen rioters because they prisoners that were caught kept trying to run away again. The game ended six in-game hours later because I couldn't quell the riot (and yes, I realized later that I could have called some riot police).

tl;dr my prison was destroyed by dozens of extra prisoners and fire and riots and bad management.

Apparently I can't play blue baby without every item being mind-bogglingly shit. I want the D6, game! I want to be able to beat Isaac, not have to deal with receiving bloody useless upgrades for my bombs time and time again.

The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth
Bomb upgrades, while pretty poor in general, are not useless. Imagine getting nothing but HP-up items and items that restore red hearts (Yum Heart, Placenta, the vampire items) as Blue Baby >.>

Gandhi got Democracy after like twenty turns and immediately went apeshit on me, then started weirdly fluctuating between republic-democracy-communist, occasionally offering peace treaties when he was a Communist which he broke the second his aggressiveness value rolled back around to 255. As he'd already taken over Russia and Central Asia, and was slowly pushing the Japanese back onto Japan, I realized that I made the first classic blunder and started a land war in Asia.

From the East, Gandhi's technologically advanced guerrilla armies closed in on my mid-1800s cavalry. I could only hold off Gandhi so long, and my lack of weaponry more advanced than his made sieges on his cities impossible. The Romans were far too weak to have any effect on Gandhi's armies, the Germans Africans were too far away and too weak to help effectively, and the Japanese fell beneath his might, as well.

From the West, the North American Aztecs, led by Montezuma, had been isolated so long that after they killed the French South Americans (before Antiquity even started, might I add) they just sort of turned North America into a gigantic railroad. They then declared war on me, and approach was made impossible by their army of submarines, barring any sort of attempt to seek asylum in the West.

Winston Churchill has failed his country.

Yet another man claimed by War-hungry Gandhi. Still proud of the day I defeated Nuclear Gandhi.

This was the first time I got to the Cyberdemon. In my haste I forgot that I had rockets and kept peppering the guy with my shotgun.

My first suicidal mission ever was against Cyborgs.  We got all the objectives, except for a "capture area" objective surrounded by two volcanic geysers and three lava pits.  We were also out of anti-tank.

We kept pushing forward to the objective, only to be forced to retreat by a cybernetic mech or tank.  I retrieved my rocket launcher but I couldn't find the ammo pack; in the end it was just me, with no rockets, no assault rifle clips, and a single pistol magazine.  I beat a robot dog to death with my bare hands.

Then a new squad came and we pushed back onto the point.  Then a tank came roaring down one of the land bridges and ran over the new guy.  We retreated, then we pushed back.  The cycle continues.

The mission ended not with the death of the squad, but the mysterious error message "application must quit immediately."

I thought pick pocketing would solve a quest in the brothel. Turns out, pick pocketing is a hostile action, and will summon seventy bajillion guards if you fail. Queue much savescumming, only to find out that pick pocketing was NOT the solution.

Planescape: Torment. I like that the quest design generally respects your intelligence. The problem is I'm not that smart sometimes. :P

Built up a decent little farming town. Managed to get tax income higher than expenditures. For some reason, the citizens were complaining the town was a deathtrap(Safety rating was near-zero), possibly due to a single unimportant street with moderate traffic congestion which appeared to have explosive traffic accidents every few seconds.

After saving the city, I noticed I had forgotten to change the mayor name from the crappy default. I tried to edit the savefile to change the name. Opening the game again, the town was gone from the map.

Ambushed by a crapton of goons who were shooting at my chopper pilot. Broke my (mostly) pacifist run to try and save her, popping headshots with my heavily-modified pistol. Got pinned down by a fuckhuge attack bot. Ragequit upon not being able to save the pilot.

I hope to christ there is an easier way to do this.  Firstly, I have to time my melee attacks to counter her melee attacks in order to stun her so that I can deal damage to the AI.  Secondly, I have to make sure not to deal damage to her mecha robot, or else if the robot dies before the AI I lose.  Thirdly, it looks like it might take EIGHT OR NINE TIMES dealing damage to the AI to win.  And of course, IT'S FINICKY AS FUCK and sometimes I could counter her upwards of 6 times without her becoming stunned.

Holy dicks this is hard, and it'd still be hard if the bitch didn't deal damage TO HERSELF.

I REALLY hope there is a better way to do this.
