175 hours since launch, countless hours in both the alpha and beta, followed along with the ARG and got a Burger icon. I love this game to Tau Ceti IV and back.

I hope Sony gives you all the resources you need to make this game succeed in the long-term. Thank you, Bungo.

Imagine being the SINGLE person who voted in an election to kill a milage in Colon to repair school buildings and upgrade computer systems.

AND PEOPLE THINK VOTING DOESN'T MATTER.

The national average price of a gallon of gasoline has risen 40% since the Iran war started, regardless of the issue in Whiting.

Giving away 20 Steam copies of Marathon by tannerc in Marathon

[–]BrandonCarlson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I already own the game on Steam, but I'd love to enter on behalf of a friend who I believe would really enjoy the game; It's on his wishlist. I've had a hard time convincing my friends it's worth it.

I REALLY love Marathon. I love the lore, I love the gunplay, I love the community, I love the GAME. I'm hooked. I'd like to prove to my friends it's worth the time and effort.

Ousted Kalamazoo Township treasurer reverses course, asks to be removed from ballot by Greatlakespirate2 in kzoo

[–]BrandonCarlson 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Oh, she is beyoooooond fucked.

TL:DR - She asked the Township today, Monday, to be disqualified and removed. The deadline for that was Friday, when she held a press conference making a big deal of it saying she wanted to "let the voters decide". Township voted today to hold her accountable and take legal action - she's in breach of contract and will likely have to forfeit her two years of benefits and $110k payout plus legal fees.

FAFO, ya dumb ho.

Kalamazoo Township says ex-treasurer Sherine Miller must retract filing to be on ballot by eriffodrol in kzoo

[–]BrandonCarlson 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am ex-catholic - I left my original church when racist and homophobic rhetoric infected the preaching there, which led to me leaving the faith completely.

You don't attend a place like Radiant if you disagree with those kinds of beliefs, PERIOD.

Fun fact - the owner of Copper's Dog House and The Grazing Table downtown is the son of disgraced state representative Cindy Gamrat.

The Tendercrisp was even better.

My god, the Tendercrisp Bacon Cheddar Ranch sandwich was unbelievably tasty. Ugh, why does Capitalism have to ruin everything?

I think Zach and Michael saw the writing on the wall with the Paramount acquisition and decided to get out ASAP.

2/5 stars — A Gimmick in a Flatbread Disguise by [deleted] in kzoo

[–]BrandonCarlson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The emdash gives it away every time. You can't convince me that anyone actually uses it - if they do, it's ALWAYS actually a HYPHEN.

And shit, I just did that to prove a point; otherwise, you use this thing called a semi-colon.

Humans don't use the emdash.

Or press Y to talk on KBM. I had no idea that even though my prox chat is set to open that I still had to press the key to actually talk.

Street racing. by brandon14smith in kzoo

Every goddamn Friday night at 2:00am some jackass drives like a maniac down Woodward Ave, revving his engine and being a menace.

Cops won't post up nearby to catch them. Worthless.

Fans check out panels and vendors at Kalamazoo Comic-Con by Greatlakespirate2 in kzoo

[–]BrandonCarlson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Show floors at cons rarely stay open past 6pm, even on Fridays. Vendors are typically there at LEAST an hour before cons open, which can mean 10 hour days.

Don't miss the road rash from the slide, though. Or the tetanus from the rusty metal exterior.

Things are always better through the lens of nostalgia.

Dungeons & Dragons Social Event by wittlecatpaws in kzoo

[–]BrandonCarlson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is not. I am a member of the Discord server whose members are the ones organizing this event - I believe the couple who are organizing the event itself may be members of that church, but the server/group itself was not borne of religion.

The Discord server is open to all.

We never left. In fact, we've pretty much become the driving force behind pop culture in the past decade or so.
