To shreds you say?

I think you mean the bleginning

You still have Zoidberg… YOU ALL HAVE ZOIDBERG!

Bright blue until I was at least in my teens. Faded to grey by the time I was in my 30s.

It defined a genre. And had some pretty advanced concepts for the time (the first game I played with right-click help pop-ups).

It’s still being worked on, mostly via Caster of Magic. The ‘reboot’ is OK, but a bit too slavish in copying the UI issues.

Or I could just play some sweet Master of Magic (DOS version)… a game so beloved it’s still getting actively modded some 30 years later!

I have such a ridiculous backlog to play. Such guilt.

Same boat here my friend.

1000+ hours, lots of intricate builds. Post Ashlands has been miserable.

With all that, still the best $20 I’ve ever spent in 43 years of gaming.

They’ve gotten progressively more poorly thought out though.

Mistlands is glorious, but so fogged in as to be essentially invisible. I resorted to a mod to increase the value of the wisp.

Ashlands is just a brutal, unfun grind. Not hard, just relentless especially with endless pop-in of enemies. Not to mention even more horrendous performance… 20fps on a very high end system is abysmal (rtx 4090, nvme drive, etc).

Valheim was amazing. But it’s faltered so badly in the past 2 years that I’m just sad. Very sad.

Damn, I didn’t even notice the logo.

The only content I miss from the Bad Place.

Not beananas, ya hoser!

Probably a fine dye so long as you don’t mind everything you own being that color. Not to mention the smell. And being dead of course.

I haven’t really played the board game, as my wife and I usually get caught up in longer ones. But I do have childhood memories of killing many a brave group of pioneers with poor planning and too much bad meat.

YOU HAVE DIED OF DYSENTERY

Repeatedly.

I worked in retail only very briefly in the 80s and never had any major issues. I consider myself very lucky for that.

Even before covid, people seemed to be treating retail staff as some kind of lower life form far worse than I remember, but it’s absolutely gone insane since.

You mean the birthplace of the labor movement where the US government used artillery on stinking miners?

The current government sucks, but the history has some truly glorious and revolutionary moments.

I’m older but in the same boat. Unless those younger people are part of proud technological illiterati, which really pisses me off for some reason. Probably those 30 years of being an IT drone…

Yellow fatty bean…

The Newark Surprise

I saw 9 to 5 when it came out as I am old. I still love it.

All 3 female leads were awesome, and she absolutely held her own against the legendary Tomlin and Fonda. Also recently passed Dabney Coleman.
