Tell that to Whitesnake. They just put out a new album last year. Dee Snider is still out there rockin' it at like 60 something. Ozzy still going. Like Tenacious D said, you can't kill the metal.

Kansas apparently has a new album in the works, Foreigner was supposed to tour this summer, and the Eagles toured earlier this year.

I finished Republic Commando yesterday. This game needs a sequel.

They're releasing 1.0 in a few months, I think. So you can either use that as a reason to put off starting a game, or think of this as your last chance to play before 1.0 drops.

There are a few games that I'm doing that with at the moment, putting them on a backburner as I know there are updates in the works.

Playing Prison Architect and there is one total asshole prisoner who is a gang leader, and has the following traits:

  • Legendary
  • Extremely Strong
  • Extremely Tough
  • Extremely Volatile
  • Stoical
  • Extremely Deadly
  • Fearless
  • Instigator
  • Gang Member

To date he has murdered 5 guards, and as a result his sentence is now 206 years. I have decided that enough is enough, the guy is clearly irredeemable, so I have now thrown him into permanent solitary confinement. His cell is just a windowless box with a toilet and a lightbulb, it has a door with a serving hatch so that the guards can just throw food at him once a day. Enjoy spending the rest of your life in there, asshole.

Lol.

I've had raiders that have each lost multiple limbs, organs, and other body parts and I have still managed to save their lives. The trick is just to do some triage the moment the last raider is down. Some of them have an hour or less to live because they are bleeding out, so they will be dead before they can make it to the medical bay to get treated. Hence those get mercy killed. Over an hour and I can usually save them.

There was one guy who had both legs, an arm, and his hand missing. One of his lungs and one of his kidneys was also destroyed. By the time I got him to the medical bay he had only minutes to live, so he got priority from my best doctor, who managed to stop the bleeding. What was even more lucky for him was that I actually have a cupboard of prostethics and some organs in the medical bay for emergencies and it happened to have what he needed: a kidney, a lung, prosthetic legs, a prosthetic arm, and a prosthetic hand. The result wouldn't have been pretty, but the doc managed to replace everything that was missing. He developed a post-operation infection but treated that too.

After all that I didn't even try to recruit the guy, I just released him once he was up on his (replacement) feet again.

A few years ago i had this campaign where i took quite a few raids back to back, and had my medic, a woman called Anna tend to the wounded raiders and put them into a prison area, then harvest each of them one by one for their organs in a separate medical room to the side of the prison. I think i got about 4-5 Lungs, a heart, and a few kidneys as well out of it. She then had a mental break and walked around for like two days before collapsing in the rain.

I could only imagine the screaming.

That's odd, if a prisoner in Prison Architect kills a guard dog then it is classed as murder...

Well yes, obviously. I mean have you not seen animal protection laws these days? Dog eats child is a tragedy but child eats dog is murder.
Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.

So the OK hand gesture was taken out of a COD game as the trolls at 4Chan got lucky in fooling the media into thinking its now to do with white supremacists.

Honestly the guy is just a stupid bastard, he was originally only in prison for 6 years on an assault conviction. He would have been out in 3 on parole if he had just kept his head down. But no, now the moron has multiple murder convictions, which has pushed his next parole hearing far beyond his life expectancy.

I've moved him in to a newly constructed Supermax wing of the prison, because his gang was constantly causing trouble because they weren't happy he was in a state of perpetual solitary. The cells in the Supermax have barred walls so that the guards can see everything that is happening inside. It also allows the guards armed with tasers and shotguns to shoot into the cells without going in. This guy and the rest of the prisoners in Supermax have supervillain levels of strength, as they kill with one punch and it takes multiple taser hits and shotgun blasts to incapacitate them. I have freefire permanently enabled in the Supermax zone, so any shit from a prisoner and their cell gets filled with buckshot.

I don't think Factorio ever goes on sale.

I've heard tell that's a deliberate choice on the developers part so as to avoid people putting off buying it until it's on sale.
I just checked, and they do say something along those lines on the store page
Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?
“No, the price now is the final price.”

and
Discount Disclaimer: We don't have any plans to take part in a sale or to reduce the price for the foreseeable future.

It took hours and a shit load of concrete, but I built a highway from the green player marker in the northeast to the tractor marker in the southwest. The lighter colours indicate higher elevation, so it slopes down from where I'm standing, bypassing all the terrain and some poison gas clouds. I think it's something like 1.6km, which is about a mile.

Can't remember off the top of my head. I don't think it's anything huge, I just had a big stockpile. And obviously I don't any more.
