Because to take away a manΓ’β¬β’s freedom of choice, even his freedom to make the wrong choice, is to manipulate him as though he were a puppet and not a person.

I’m really surprised that Settlers of Catan hasn’t been cancelled yet by the #Woke folks, especially with their new #DecolonizeEverything stance that they use as part of their pro-Hamas campaigns. I mean “Settlers” is right in the game’s bloody name, so it must be just a horrific glorification of colonialism and White Imperialism. π

Oh yes. I am very much a grognard. I started play Dungeons & Dragons in 1977 with the Holmes edition of Basic D&D. And, yes again. I do have dice older than you in all likelihood. Hellfire! I’ve got dice older than some – probably most – of your parents. π
Oh, and I do still have dice just like those from the old game sets when that was the only way you could get dice other than 6-sided.

At first, second, or even third glance, Biden’s eagerness to engage in what seems all to likely to end up as nuclear war between Russia and the US makes little to no sense. But, I think we should all look a bit deeper into the muddled and rotting psyche of the deranged octogenarian the Dems “worked” so hard to install as POTUS.
Creepy Uncle Joe is a gamer of sorts, and he’s old enough to have played and possibly been good at Atari’s Missile Command. Thus, given the damaged and erratic state of his brain, he might think that nuclear war would play out this way. Oh Hell! Biden’s so lost in the morass of his senility – and he was never that bright in the first place – he might even believe in President Reagan’s stunning and stunningly effect lie, the “Star Wars Program” and conflate it with Missile Command.
Sadly, this isn’t just sarcastically funny. It’s also disturbing plausible. Still though, that’s better than the alternative, that Biden is a dementia-ridden old man close to Judgement and Sentencing who doesn’t want the world to outlive him.

That, sadly, describes both a large number of games when they’re 1st brought to market these days and a lot people who gladly fork over a great deal of money to be “the first” to play still unfinished and often broken content.
Ah well, from a business perspective, gaming design is at least as important as game design. π

Now that’s some real old school gaming right there! π And here I thought that my 1st gaming console being one of the ones with Pong, Breakout, and Basketball games and no cartridges was old school, especially since it a few years later when I got my Atari 2600.
But then, according to certain sorts of scientists – really “Sciencetismists\” – this funny image has a 50/50 chance of being true-ish, with it only being “true-ish” because I’ve no evidence to support whether or not pre-human eras were played-through or just provided as Lore. π
