Yamantau...the Taiga...Novosibirsk...it was so relentlessly bleak and grim at times, but there were occasional little monuments to optimism in the blanketing darkness, and the characters always held onto a dancing flame of hope. I felt for the crew and the friends they made; I shared in their triumphs and dismay. This was a real world, lived in. When it was all over, I missed them already, but could also be happy if this was the end of their story.
P.S. I love trains now.

I think that's an interesting concept that provides the necessary prompt I'd need to think up some sort of backstory, since I'm not great at doing that on my own.

It consists of a half-measure of coffee and a teabag in a cup, topped with condensed or evaporated milk (I forget which, but it's fine with the regular UHT stuff I use).
I also tried a Bloody Mary (or 4) at a wedding a few years ago and loved it. The good thing about that drink is that, if you don't like vodka, you can leave that out and just drink something that tastes like a gazpacho in a glass!

For Honor! For Toussaint! - I love the strings in this, particularly at 1:20.
The Slopes of the Blessure - One of the best introductions you could have to a new fantasy realm.
Act On Instinct - 1:43 almost makes tears well up in my eyes, taking me back to an infinitely better time when I first found this game. Many happy afternoons, more evenings and some very early mornings.I'm also listening to some of the music of Michael Kamen, specifically from The Ion Giant and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.

I considered getting a DLC or two for The Sims 4, but they're just so expensive that I can't justify it during the current emergency. And that's with 50% off.

FishFingus Link ParentHaving heard some stories from a mate in the armed forces, I have to pity any teetotallers and light drinkers who join up. Their livers are going to be screaming at them.Having heard some stories from a mate in the armed forces, I have to pity any teetotallers and light drinkers who join up.

Comment on What is your favourite film from your country? in ~movies
FishFingus LinkKung Fu Hustle, because it is an absolutely hilarious joy to watch. The subtitled version in Cantonese is better than the dub, in my opinion, though the dub is of course great in its own way.Kung Fu Hustle, because it is an absolutely hilarious joy to watch.

Regarding the food reference thing, I think the nickname they came up with was either "Hamburger Hepler" or "Hamburger Helper". AFAIK it was just shaming her for her appearance on top of the accusation of helping to dumb down and/or destroy gaming.

I like to tell myself that I'm planting the seeds of essential survival, combat and governing skills for the coming Simpocalypse. It's really just nice to be able to play a game that lets you actually play the game rather than worry about seasons, grind, dailies, weeklies and all that other foetid anal wind. Having said that, though, a recent redesign has given the storefront and its pricy DLC centre placement. Annoying, and also pointless, as the purchase buttons don't work.
So far I've been playing with aging off, and I've never really followed any of the stories in previous instalments. Is there any great benefit to playing with it on? It seems as the the neighbourhood would slowly depopulate over time unless a potentially infinite number of offspring are randomly generated in the surrounding families.

Still, I don't really care all that much, so long as any changes are made with a minimum of faff and inconvenience. Programming languages are supposed to be convenient, helpful and legible at the end of the day.

I've never noticed the ability to follow devs before; there also doesn't seem to be a handy list of them anywhere.

I bought some games from the Steam sale. I got Two Points Hospital and Sunset Valley, so I'll soon be figuing out what all the hullabaloo was about.
