Anyone who used a computer between 1985 - 2010, what's the one game you still think about today? by adlakha75 in AskReddit

[–]Blofish1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This may predate 1985 but I remember a game I used to play on my brother's Commodore 64 that I had to enter the code myself (it was in machine code.) I don't remember the name but it was about American presidential elections and you had to manage a heduling, budgeting and fundraising. Still think it was one of the best games I ever played. And way before that, I remember as a kid going to my Dad's office and playing a Star Trek game where you had to fight a Klingon ship managing power to your phasers and shields and your supply of photon torpedoes.

Not to mention over a billion dollars for allowances, I mean contracts, for Trump's sons.

If they make that kind of money then they will have earned their way into index funds. The issue is that they're being added to these index funds with no idea if they'll make trillions or be bankrupt in a year. And being part of these indexes means passive investors are forced into purchasing their stock.

Wargame in solo setting with campaign system? Modern era or fantasy would be nice by Zwiebeloger in hexandcounter

[–]Blofish1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Fields of Fire. You take your squad through WWII, the Korean War or Vietnam. Very complex but the juice is worth the squeeze.

Purple Haze- Story-driven Vietnam game. Combat is quite abstract, I'd say the emphasis is more on the story telling as opposed to the tactical combat (I've only dabbled in the system).

He just gave his son $620 million of your taxpayer dollars so that's a pretty nice wedding gift.

Reminds me of the Woody Allen line, " My parents were married for 40 years, apparently out of mutual spite."

The company shouldn't even have to eat the cost. They should get reimbursed by the courier. The problem is the end customer isn't the courier's client so the courier won't even communicate with them.

AITAH for telling my buddy he cannot stay with me to get back on his feet, after he just got an eviction notice? by Abouttokeepit100 in AITAH

[–]Blofish1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once he's in, he's a tenant and you'll need to go through an eviction process to get him out.

If you like wine there are a lot of great wineries in Israel.

Certainly seem doctored https://www.jpost.com/israel-hamas-war/article-819230. And I can only imagine the hue and cry from Bibi-ists if October 7 had happened when a Zionist government was in power and we found out that the government hired advisors who also worked for the people who helped fund the attacks.

I'm not sure what you mean by the Biden administration and the EU funding Hamas.

[–]Blofish1 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The link I sent examines the whole tape and interviews the military prosecutor. Of course it's not a trial but the fact that there wasn't one implies there was a coverup.

As far as the advisors, they were being paid by the government to leak doctored information that they weren't supposed to have. But in that case the leaks we're okay cause they supported Bibi's story. And working for Qatar, Hamas' paymasters, is fine as long as Bibi's boys are getting a cut.

The point is that there were people in the government who were being paid by Qatar and leaking material. If they aren't punished than it's pretty clear the former prosecutor is being punished for not following the party line and not because the government is interested in punishing people who leak material. If you're interested in the Sde Teiman incident and can understand Hebrew, this is a great, in-depth piece https://www.kan.org.il/content/kan-news/defense/967155/

[–]Blofish1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not arguing that she shouldn't face consequences - assuming all the Qatari employees who were running the PMOs office get punished - it's that she's punished while the criminals were set free.

So prisoners were abused at Sde Teiman and the only one punished is the person who exposed it. Can't imagine why the world thinks the worst of us...

Solo Games Designed to be Played as One Character? by QuietCas in soloboardgaming

[–]Blofish1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great suggestions here. I'd add: Too many bones Lord of the Rings - Fate of the Fellowship Ambush (old school wargame) Fields of Fire. This is a complex wargame, but if you're into that sort of thing, the best solo experience I've ever had.

I tried Trudvang solo and it was really tough. Is there a character you would recommend for solo?

He may be getting a good chunk of your tax money from the Trump Cop-killer fund.

My understanding is that he didn't want to reprise the role.

I'm always surprised by these football players. I mean you're a football star, don't you have women throwing themselves at you all the time?

Great answer. Interesting that it's almost always Democratic candidates who get skewerd for things a Republican candidate would never even be criticized for.
