Honestly, even without social anxiety, not having to spend the effort to do basic small talk and engage with someone makes it pretty convenient sometimes. The only time I really use the cashier line is when I have a lot of stuff or my kids with me.

Yes sir, Mr. Bond.

Is any other app out there able to handle streaming games to your friends as easily as discord?

It seems like we should probably be looking for the next ship to jump to…

I loved the demo and would also highly recommend the game solely based on that.

I’m just waiting for a free weekend to pick up the game now that it’s out.

Oh wow, in my head I pictured it starting around 2006 or so.

Community, IT Crowd, Arrested Development, 30 Rock, Scrubs… The 00’s had a lot of great sitcoms. We didn’t know how good we had it.

It got so popular, had occasional Star Trek references, even a cameo by Leonard Nimoy, and I still couldn’t get myself to enjoy it. It’s such a a shame.

It’s totally a thing in the downtown of some older cities, and occasionally in some apartment complexes that have popped up recently, but I’d say that throughout the majority of the country, residential and commercial zones get drawn without overlap.

and the brain switched to the next available factory default language, English.

I like it!

They have them and can do both. I think field sobriety tests might be more common these days if they suspect you’re on something other than alcohol though.

I had no idea what I was doing as a kid, and figuring out through trial and error which combinations and placements of units would cause them to do cool combo attacks was maddening.

I didn’t play the original Tactics Ogre, but I played a bit of the recent remake. It’s very much like FF Tactics, where you move individual units around on a grid, take turns, and adjust the direction they’re facing, etc.

Ogre Battle 64 is more like a full battle map with free, simultaneous movement. You traverse the battle map as sort of an overworld (?), then it switches to the autobattle combat interface when units run into each other.

They have some similarities, but I personally enjoy the Ogre Battle 64 approach more.

Not sure, but this appears to be the creator’s youtube page about it:

That’s so much. It seems to be getting a small spike in attention these days with some recent games inspired by it (like Unicorn Overlord, or a popular indie game called Symphony of War).

It’s an incredible game, but it feels like very few people were aware of it (at least in the US). The closest AAA game to it now would be Unicorn Overlord, if you’ve seen that.

You build squads of units and customize who’s in each party and which tile they stand on, then send them out to a battle map where you can direct them. When they run into enemies, it auto-battles sort of like Fire Emblem.

And the fact that they could be anywhere.

I’ve seen a lot of people praising Mint in here. It sounds like that’s the distro for me to try first.
