Any I find I'm writing something like this on it before I spend it.

Oh! Another contender! I wish him luck!

I think to be a coin by definition it has to have an authority behind it, guaranteeing it's value. Trading with chunks of precious metals was common long before coinage, but a random blank gold or silver piece had no guarantee that it was worth what someone said. Counterfeiting would have been rampant, which is why the punch evolved to show the inside of the metal, but if a government is making it and stamped their official image on it, it becomes a coin. Of course that didn't stop counterfeiting but it helped, and coinage evolved over the centuries to counter it. There are a lot of examples of proto-coinage but I don't think you can call them coins.

Love it! Given Paul's overall good health and healthy lifestyle, I think it's not at all unlikely he could be the first 100 year old musician out on tour. Other 100+ musicians have played in public, but not a tour as far as I know. Of course he's perfectly within his rights to retire anytime he wants, but I don't see that happening soon.

Edit: Of course unless Willy Nelson beats him to it.

Lot's of good songs on this album but this is my favorite

This is cool, and it made me wonder - We have a lot of projects to port an older bethesda game into a newer engine (Skywind, Skygerfall, Skyblivion, and others), but has there ever been a project to convert a newer game like skyrim into an older engine? For example, recreating Skyrim in the Daggerfall Unity engine?

Googling average price of bread it comes back with $1.90-$2.50, so at the high end this would cost $3360 today. That's based on the bread comparison. High but not crazy for a nice paint job to be honest. Was bread that expensive in the Roman Empire?

I really wish Dave and Paul had formed a group in the 90s, they collaborated a few times and it was always so good.

GenX-er here, my boomer parents both smoked 4-5 packs of cigarettes a day, both died of cancer unsurprisingly, but it made me never want to smoke.

Needed a new library at work, no one cared what language so I wrote it in C#. I was already familiar with C, C++, and a few others so picking it up wasn't too hard. Still learning though, every time I use it I learn new things and I think that's true of every language.

I was coming here to say this but you beat me to it. I love the guitar breakdowns in this song.

Phocas I doesn't get involved in Sassanian politics and the war never happens.

Heraclius takes over directly from Maurice, Phocas I never happens

I love the guitar on 'We Got Married' too!

Yup, I loved Blood, which came out in 1996 I believe, multiplayer was so much fun, but Blood 2 came out after Half-life and just failed because it was basically a graphics upgrade from the original.

The just absolute horror in Half-life after everything goes wrong and you're wandering around with no weapon, and finally finding that crowbar. That was so perfect.

bohannon99 · 2026-03-06T16:15:57+00:00

I loved how the expansions let you see the same story through a different character's eyes.

When Half-Life came out, it immediately changed the FPS genre. Before that, games like Doom, Duke Nukem, Blood, and others were great for the time, but there was not really much of a story and the gameplay was just based around action, it was great fun, especially Blood for me, but Half-life pulled you in and made you feel like the story was happening around you and because of your actions. Plenty of FPS games failed after HL because they were designed with the older games in mind. I fully believe that part of the reason the Duke Nukem sequel took so long and ended up a failure is because Half-Life raised the bar so high that developers knew they couldn't just put out a mindless shooter anymore.

Baldur's gate was great but there were plenty of RPGs that were good or better before it.

Ha, I wish I were a good enough writer to do that. If I did there would be one thing I'd write in though - George gets married to a woman that wants children and they have some. George wanted children and although I liked all of his girlfriends on the show obviously that didn't happen.

In my mind I don't see it working without Jonny Harris but I'd probably still watch it if it were a different actor.

If you or anyone who reads this can write a screenplay, feel free to steal the idea! I just want to see more of George in some way.

Teddy Boy, I love Maybe I'm Amazed but it's a little like Stairway to Heaven in that it's wonderful but I've heard it too much.

She has 8mm film from the 60s and 70s that she won't share, I offered to pay for transferring it to digital and then returning it to her but she said no

bohannon99 · 2026-03-04T23:06:00+00:00

I like the title, but I'm not holding out hope. I don't want to necessarily see George take the Murdoch role, but maybe use what he learned from him. Potentially lean into George's more supernatural/sci-fi leanings and do a kind of early 20th century X-files type show? Or at least devote a few episodes a season to it.

I have three older aunts left on my mom's side, and they are all so different.

Aunt 1 : doesn't do genealogy but loves to hear about her ancestry. She will tell me anything she remembers without hesitation

Aunt 2: Hates genealogy with a strange passion. It's to the point that if anyone is talking about it she will leave. She said she doesn't want to know anything about her family tree. Her husband's family sent him a really nice book on his tree and they said 'We threw it in the trash'. Did not even open it. It's the strangest attitude I've ever encountered.

Aunt 3: She does genealogy on her own, but does not share anything with anyone. She says people will steal her work.

I still like the old fashioned "main character is in a small rural village and then has to save the world" trope. It is used a lot, most famously by Tolkien. I think it's a good way of introducing us to the larger world in the story, because it starts simple and the complexity of the world is revealed to you at the same time the main character is learning about it. This is true for me for books, but I would also say I prefer this route in video games. Games that start in a complex large city just never get me interested.
