Usually they don't have more money than they know what to do with, what money have have gets funnelled into their addiction, the rest becomes debt.

Correct, that's why the mosquito can't find blood with his stick despite standing on a human.

Is DSL not available in rural areas? That still uses the phone line and should be significantly faster. I don't understand how people can still even use dial up, can a 56k modem load most websites in a reasonable time frame? I should try throttling my connection and seeing if it's viable.

I wonder if there was a fad for dowsing rods at the time this was made or if they were common knowledge enough for this joke to work.

It doesn't work outside of KDE?

Damn, RPGs peaked in the 80s for you. What did these games do right that nothing has done better since?

Out of curiosity, what are some games that you consider contenders for greatest RPG?

How is it better than a steam deck?

In the vast majority of elections I did or could have voted in, I have looked after the fact and seen how my contribution, or lack of, Did. Not. Fucking. Matter.

Elections are almost never decided by a single vote, do you think your vote only matters if it's the deciding vote? I've watched so many election votes counts and so often I see evil win because the vote total for the lesser evil just didn't bother to vote that eletcion. I've also seen areas flip because enough people think their vote doesn't matter because it's a "safe seat" until it isn't. Why be one of those people, just vote every time. There will be an election this November that almost no one will vote in. I've seen vote totals in the 100s and elections decided by less than 10 votes. It would be so easy to sway the results if just a handful more people voted.

Also most options I am presented with most of the time are uninspiring or downright evil.

Vote for the lesser evil otherwise you are more likely to get the greater evil.

Its not my responsibility to "solve" America's 250 years of lies.

I'm not asking or expecting you to, I just want you to vote. Voting doesn't solve things it's just a tug of war and I want more people constantly tugging for the lesser evil.

So have fun on your high horse as you highlight one cherry-picked recent primary result for one city in a country filled with 90,000 governments and countless elected positions.

It's to show you that if you turn out, you can affect elections. You aren't the only person with your belief that voting doesn't matter, there are tons of you. If you all get out and vote you'll make a difference, but it starts with you.

Your vote is a formality until it swings the state. What is a swing state changes every election. You never truly know until after you voted so vote every time.

The top part is true, but reversing 25% is something and it's not a constant flow of more carnage. If you don't give a fuck, then you are basically pro carnage since you are doing nothing to stop it, but fuck me right?

Also you can vote for who Dems up on the ticket in the primary. New York voters showed the rest of the country that it's possible.

I'm surprised I've never seen this game before. I used to hunt for Banished style of city builders and this looks like one of those. Have you played Banished, how does it compare?
