Life is a preposterous horror.

Money speaks for money, the devil for his own
Who comes to speak for the skin and the bone?

The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose off the common
But leaves the greater villain loose
Who steals the common from the goose.

Une oasis d'horreur dans un désert d'ennui.

@stephanie Although, I did really try to throw myself at Workers and Resources: Soviet Republic, I just wasn't Man enough for the task. Now that's a game that teaches you the horror show of accommodating parking.

Children of the Nile is technically a newer game, one that I loved, but it just doesn't run well enough.

City Skylines never clicked. I don't know why. It felt like I could have been a contender. Predatory DLC maybe?

Not sure Dwarf Fortress counts.

Special thanks to @stephanie for reminding me how much I love Tropico, a 25ish year old game. I have not played any of the newer titles mind you, but boy is this the good stuff.

I just used a hex editor to whip El Présidente up a fair sum of bonus dollars, to take the edge off, and it's still amazingly punishingly difficult. It's the only city builder that I still find entertaining, having lost my love for this type of thing a while ago.

I just shouted out "freedom just 9/11ed into your face, motherfucker" after taking a big shit. I am equal parts proud and horrified.

It's fun how quickly non-essential workers become very essential when you push them.

I didn't want to distract from their thread, so I went to start a post on my own.

I didn't realize people had, like, pitch or tone in their internal voice in their heads? I don't even have volume. It's always the same.

Really.

I feel cheated somehow.

Concretizing the Eschaton.
Tearing up a bike lane to install parking is a decision so stupid that it could only be backed by self-sabotaging small businessmen, possibly the most mentally deficient of the social classes.

If I were a Conservative in Canada, I would be inviting Netanyahu to Canada as fast as I humanly could.

There's no way Carney would do the right thing by arresting Captain Genocide and His Army of Ethnic Cleansing, and it would topple Carney from within.
