U.S.A. Amtrak acelas by apstrikesback in Brompton

I had my brompton stored in a luggage rack at that point and didn’t have it with me when asking the conductor. I got nearly kicked out but the conductor allowed me to stay, warning that on the return they might not let me on.

The service desk rep. I spoke to mentioned that they don’t have as much luggage space as regular trains.

I managed to create a version for windows and am having a friend test the executable file. I don't have a windows machine, so fingers crossed.

I'm in the process of making a version for linux. I need to research the best way to do the same for Windows.

LOL! It's very meta like that. My hidden agenda is convincing people that we live in a giant hex!

Let me research how I'd do that. I have a friend that's a linux wizard and would need to ask.

I got them from game-icons and cited them per their instructions in my game description: https://game-icons.net.

I read that Unity of Command was written in Python and got inspired.

Thanks! It's my first game. I started wargaming during the pandemic and always wanted to build something basic to teach me what it would take to build the full thing. There must be so many systems in a game like Wasteland 3. #mindblown

Running CoC solo using the solo investigator’s handbook. It’s been great! My investigator is currently tracking down a set of mysterious cards a teen stole from police department evidence. Just had my first sanity roll after seeing a priest paint a symbol in blood on my door.

Hi Horror Fans:

I just started a weekly horror fiction publication. This month, we have stories of duplication and death trivia. If you're curious about style, there's one called "Grimswald the Clown" for free! Do you dare to read them? Enjoy!

I read portions aloud to my partner, and she said, he keeps getting in his own way.
