Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Okay but can we categorize people based off their opinions on obscure cult classic Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura? Cause so far its been hilarious getting peoples reactions to it, I can also tell how poor they were based on how long theyve known about it.
Are you me?!?!
I've been evangelizing about that game to any gamer I meet, especially old sk00l Fallout fans since... I bought it in 2001 ;)
Sadly I only found out about it due to the slavic king of OG CRPGs Warlocracy. But I did buy fallout 1 & 2 at a pawnshop in Arkansas around 2011, it was my birthday and I wanted to play them since I played New Vegas no one really wants to argue with the obsessed now twelve year old and one of my kithsmen vouched for it saying he played it when he was my age.
So many amazing ideas in Arcanum. Time to finally check out the various modernization patches and mods and give it a spin.
My first CRPG was also from a pawnshop! Though it was the original Wizardry in 1982 ;)
.... I'll allow it.
I really liked that game. I don't know why I keep seeing it pop up but recently grabbed it again for a few bucks. The performance is absolutely godawful on Linux, hopefully I can tweak that.
I remember somehow having access to summons way overpowered from where I should have been? If memory serves, everyone who tried to start something with my character was smeared into a paste by literal demons. I never finished because I completely lost track of the quests I was supposed to do.
It may be easier to emulate windows xp or soemething and play it that way. It isnt particularly friendly with modern systems.
