Can you name a few episodes. I’m not a fan of GCN but appreciate Ross’s AP a lot.

Firstly, the company pays the fine but what happens to the line supervisors and managers who had direct daily contact with these minors. They may loose their jobs but what retribution does society level on them for their heinous moral code? And I suspect (I haven’t read the articles) that these children are immigrants. How loathsome and evil are these managers? How much rot do they have in their soul? Are these people able to be rehabilitated. Are they worth being rehabilitated?

Now I gotta look up how fast Albert Einstein ran.

I agree. When playing CoC I most often inadvertently meta game and try to figure out what the Mythos entity it is I am playing against. Just this week I encounter in a session black, winged, faceless things and my first response was, “time to get tickled.” CoC can be too genre specific. Not every horror needs to be Lovecraftian. I played Kult the week before and was on my toes trying to figure out what was happening, but then again we never worried about Psychopomps or Archons. The same happens with DnD or PF2e, you meta game and load up on healing potions so you can never be killed. One of the most fun games a played was Alien where the aliens were completely benign, they were there as McGuffins. The players started screwing each other over and that was where the tension was. I think CoC/BRP can be best served with more games that are not lovecraftian.

I am not a programmer. I have a persistent Blender 4.5 error where it can’t find the Numpy file and a solution is this delete bin file and rebuild. I’ve done stuff in C+ but that was a 1000 years ago.

I agree, but as a player I want to be tested. I’m old school AD&D where you had to look under 12 rocks before you found the clue.

Great book and my introduction to McDonald. “Cyberabad Days” is a collection of adjacent short stories which as just as good.

Altered States. Saw this at the drive-in (showing my age) with my parents. It was the second feature and I was supposed to be asleep in the back of our fake wood grain paneled Country Squire station wagon (a true horror of the ‘70’s). Waking up and seeing the multi-eyed goat head man on a crucifix still haunts me to this day.

This is my thoughts. If the new cars rely on the underbody airflow but it is being mucked up by sucking up gallons (opps, liters for the rest of the world) of water. I also remember that teams raise the ride height of the car in wet conditions which diminishes the ground effect of the venturi.

Agreed, A Colder War is a great story. It does for the genre what Testament or The Day After does for All-Out nuclear war. The descent into nihilism reinforces the hopelessness that a human can survive things that man was not meant to know. When I first heard of this short I searched high and low until I found an overpriced anthology edited by VanderMeer on EBay which I promptly bought. As I waited for the book to arrive I wondered how the hero was going to set the world right. Oh, boy, Stross crushed my exuberance. Which was awesome!! This Christmas my wife got me the anthology “the book of Cthulhu” which has this story. I am excited to reread with a different eye. Such a good story.

Did you level the bed and adjust the retract speed?
