  • Senator Booker stood on the floor
    For a day (plus an hour five minutes)
    To speak out on Orange acts all should deplore,
    Though at last even he found his limits.

    Observers made comments showing support,
    “At last, at least some piece of action!”
    Yet others despaired and were seen to retort,
    “Too late!” for the Democrat faction.

    But a rare beam of hope as a flash in our lives
    Shines all the more bright for the dark.
    And signals perhaps—gives a reason for why—
    His speech shows an important mark

    Of a record, now smashed, was hereto unbroken,
    And for 70 years sowed division.
    If for no other change we’ll know that he’s spoken
    And created historic revision.


















  • I hadn’t played so I just checked out a beginner’s guide and I don’t think they’re very similar at all.

    In FTL you’re pretty much going from point to point on a map which mostly have encounters with single ships. You try to collect resources for upgrades or new weapons. At shops you can repair or buy things, and you’ll find new crew members there or organically through events. There are a few different ways to do combat (different kinds of guns/missiles, drones, or boarding enemy ships), and everything builds to a boss battle in the final sector.

    I’m sure there are some vids that can lay out the basics in a few mins, but if it sounds anything like a genre you’re interested in I’d say 3 bucks is a steal for it. As a roguelike it’s got a lot of replayability.
