Honestly, Michael Wilson was willing to ride on the outside of a rocket into space and put his life on the line to save America from nuclear armageddon. We'd be fucking lucky if we had anyone with that level of conviction and love for their country in charge.

I mean, reading that sentence, it certainly wouldn't surprise me if they omitted it just to spite the British.

I'm interested to see what changes they'll be making from 6 to 7. 6 was kinda panned on release, and games like Humankind and Age of Wonders 4 have introduced serious competition to the 4x genre in the years since.

ngl, I look at it the same way I do FromSoft games. "It's called what now? sorry, it was an Estus Flask in Dark Souls, that's what it gets called forever."

The Sims 2 Castaway is basically the proto survival crafting game. It's kinda cool to see the classic Sim stats get used in such a different way. I sometimes wish EA would return to those days of selling spinoff Sim games like Castaway and the Urbz, rather than just dumping every single new idea they get into one game as DLC.

but WayneTech didn't deliver!

As my partner always says, "A ho is never cold."

There certainly was a "golden age of gaming," where the cost for a studio to exist and make a game was pretty low and they were more willing to experiment. The thing people forget is that there was so, so, so much trash and shovelware made during that era as well. We remember the incredible game that innovated and drove the medium forward, and we forget the movie tie-ins and genre knockoffs.

These days, AAA has forgotten how to innovate, and nearly all of it is being driven by indie titles. This is because, once again, the cost to develop is now so low that literally anyone can do it. The amount of trash and shovelware we're getting is almost ludicrous though, so it's a lot harder to find the great titles that are overlooked, but extremely high quality has a remarkable way of cutting through the noise.

LORE OF METAL!

And I'd do it again.

There doesn't seem to be anything offered by the rental company I'm currently with, and I've never heard of concept before. There are security deposits, which you do typically receive at the end of the lease, but most of the ones here are non-refundable, and I did have to pay one of those as well.

You'll be rejected from a lot of things on the basis of having no credit, because in the U.S., it is considered worse if you have always paid everything up front and on time than if you consistently borrow and make continual payments. Now, that doesn't have to be a credit card per say, it can be car lease payments, student loan payments, medical debt payments, my landlord reports my rent payments, but credit cards are one of the easiest ways to build up your credit score before you say, have to spend an extra $1500 upfront for an apartment on a co-signor service because my credit score wasn't considered high enough for an apartment I pay $500 a month for.

Not technically correct. If you want to be able to rent apartments or dream of owning a house, you will have to use credit in the U.S., or you'll at least need someone with a high credit score willing to be your co-signer.

obv nobody is forcing you to get a credit card and rack up a lot of debt, but you will face a lot of struggles in life that someone who makes regular payments on a credit card will not.
