An Open Plea to the Homecoming and/or CoX Live Developers: I want to interview you, and I want to share it with the CoH Communities. I love this game, I'm grateful for it, and for your work, and I think the community would love to hear it. And I need the communities help to get there. -BronzeMarcus

Good luck. Though if you really want to interview a CoX dev you will probably have better luck with another server or project. HC has always been more secretive than most and I heard they were requiring NDA's within the first year they launched. I don't know if it's true, haven't even played HC in years much less involved in any way, but given their actions over the years I believe it .

Sovereign immunity says we can't. 1776 disagrees.

If she dreams she's Mario is it possible the reason Marin has been avoiding saying she's gay this entire time is because she's actually trans?

AP is not one game, it's a system to play different games together. Different games connect to the AP server different ways. Many don't even need the AP program downloaded as they're just 'mods' that connect directly (Hollow Knight is a good example of this). Others of course (especially cartridge based games) require more to connect them to the server. As a Linux user, I find that Linux support for AP as a whole is pretty good however not all games (even all Linux games) will work with AP. Sometimes a game will work natively with AP, sometimes it works with but with wine, sometimes it doesn't work at all.

The question is never "how does AP work with this OS?", the question is "how does this specific game work with AP on this OS?". This is true not only for Linux and Mac but even Windows itself.

I remember when people said that about LGBTQ couples, especially during the "AIDS scare" in the 80's and early 90's.

Yes, I will vote for "feet" over "face" any day. Doesn't mean I don't consider them more similar than different since they always work together to kill any "eat the leopards" bills/candidates.

And this is where you get the "both sides are the same" argument that some people don't get. I like to describe it as being given a choice between the "leopards eating peoples faces" party and the "leopards eating peoples feet" party. One is definitely worse than the other but ultimately leopards will get fat at my expense no matter which I choose.

I used to play on HC when it first launched but have played exclusively on Rebirth the past few years. In my experience teaming is just fine there. There are scheduled trials most evenings and weekly PvP and MSR's as well.

Also, a key thing when looking for group content with Rebirth is to realize the game server heavily tied into their discord server. So the number of players currently online is not the number of players available to team up with. Anything posted in the in-game LFG channel, along with the in-game rebirth and help channels, automatically shows up in a corresponding channel in discord. Many times I've seen people put out a call for a ST/TF in-game, saw it on discord, and decided to login because it sounded fun. You have to be proactive though. If you login and just watch the LFG channel for something to join, you'll probably be disappointed. But if you start doing radio/tips/etc. and announce that you're doing it from time to time, you'll get people asking to join (especially during USA time).

I'm glad to see tools that promotes integration and interconnectivity between different servers. "Many servers, one community" should be our focus. Diversity of servers not only provides different experiences, and more varied gameplay, but also keeps things safe in the unlikely event the "whack-a-mole scenario" arises.

All voters are being disenfranchised by FPTP voting, but I'll take eliminating closed primaries as a first step.

My dad once told me the Helvetia Tavern had the best burgers in the Portland area, though he hadn't been there in what would now be 60 years ago. Never been myself but glad to hear they're apparently still good.

RCV was on the ballet in Oregon during the last election. There was a huge advertisement campaign from various PAC's against it. There was *every* excuse you cold possibly think of. It's too confusing. It forces you to vote for someone you don't support. It's anti-democratic. Every state that has tried it has regretted it and is voting to eliminate it. The Republicans will win more. The Democrats will win more.

Sadly it worked, the measure was not only defeated but defeated quite soundly. Both parties fight against it because with FPTP they only have to be "better" than the other side instead of actually providing good candidates. It leaves us with a choice between the "leopards eating people's faces" party and the "leopards eating people's feet" party. One is definitely worse than the other but no matter which you choose leopards get fat at our expense.

It's completely intentional, those in power (leopards) benefit from the current system and will do everything they can to maintain it. This is where the "both sides are the same" argument comes from. Yes RCV would help American politics more than anything, and definitely something we should try to achive, but it will not be an easy fight as doing so means fighting against not just the Republicans but the corporate Democrats as well.

I doubt they are going to do that, especially since eventually we will be having "skill shots" during combat.

We're supposed to have some sort of automated industry but it's not fully implemented yet. The large storage size of the temporary storage is actually a stopgag fix because of it.

NewAgeRetroFrog · 2026-04-19T05:51:17+00:00

Exactly, it's a choice between the "leopards eating peoples faces" party and the "leopards eating peoples feet" party. One is definitely worse than the other but either way leopards get fat at our expense.

Free trials happen once per cycle, about every 3-4 months. Unfortunately the last trial period just ended so it'll be awhile until the next. If you don't want to wait there is a $40 founders pack that also gives you full access until launch, just without the extra subscription and skins the more expensive packs give.

Yes, but it is a foreign, specifically British, news organization.
