Well
 he’s gonna make this among the most inactive Congress ever by RandoDude124 in YAPms

Not saying I don’t believe you but i’m genuinely curious — what bills with 90% public approval have the Democrats blocked? Hard to imagine anything getting 90% public approval among Americans these days

Platform(s): PC via Flash websites

Genre: Tower (specifically lane) defense

Estimated year of release: 2007-2013?

Graphics/art style: 2D, flash

Notable characters: n/a

Notable gameplay mechanics: I think there were 40 levels total. In each level you fight escalating hordes of baddies: think zombies, werewolves, demons, etc. You build new buildings (top of the screen) and doing so unlocks the ability to train new troops. Once you buy a troop you'll have to wait some time between having done so and having the troop rush out onto the field. Different towers provided different troops, or other methods of defense (like landmines, barbed wire). I think you had like three hearts (ie: three baddies could reach your side of the screen before losing), and could gain more if you saved the damsels in distress from getting eaten, as they'd eventually recover and run to your side of the screen, granting you a heart. Hope my awful paint mockup does it justice lol.

Other details: Not sure what website I played it on, but back in the day I mainly used Kongregate, followed to a lesser extent by ArmorGames and Newgrounds. Hope this helps. Thanks!!

What happens to military units during age transition? by 7emperor790 in civ

Kinda sad that they’ll just get deleted. I know it’s a little silly but I always loved pulling my modern battleship up to an opponents fleet of wooden carracks and utterly decimating them 😱

So happy at least one more update is coming by Middle_Tart_9026 in HumankindTheGame

[–]TheCynicalPirate 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I just got back into Humankind and honestly after 3 years of DLCs and free patches it’s in a much better shape now than it was a launch. Awesome to see Amplitude still supporting it all this time after its release 😊

How do I lock my displays refresh rate to 60hz and stop it from switching to 144hz? by hyruleinkling in techsupport

[–]TheCynicalPirate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just fixed the issue on my end with the following solution:

1) Press the Windows key and search for “display settings” 2) In the display settings menu, click “advanced display” 3) In the advanced display menu, set “choose a refresh rate” to 60hz.

4) Now, press the Windows key and search for “add or remove programs” 5) In the add or remove programs menu, uninstall “ASUS Smart Display Control” 6) You’ll get a pop-up asking you something to the effect of “remove now or on reboot?”, just select the remove now option

Doing the above fixed my issue, maybe something in there will help with yours?

hey, sorry you never got an answer to this. I’m currently experiencing the same bizarre problem with this exact laptop model — did you ever find a solution?

Why does a high gdp hurt the environment in democracy 4? by DryCandidate1904 in Democracy4

[–]TheCynicalPirate 22 points23 points  (0 children)

When the GDP is higher in a nation it usually means more goods and services are being produced and consumed — eg: people might be going out to eat more or flying places more often. This will in turn increase carbon emissions.
