Downloaded the demo from Compuserve, it was the first level of the game and when I finished it, I remember being blown away that there were nine more levels. Demo fit on a single floppy and cost like $20 to download lol.

As for the men wondering why women wait so long to come forward: because it's humiliating, you dumb fucks. Not because we did anything wrong but because of the way society views survivors and the fact that we're always put on trial too if we report it--as if we're also the perpetrators

Look if you think it’s fine for Trump to corruptly get a red card revoked (or “suspended”) bc FIFA is already corrupt, maybe you understand the MAGA mindset better than you think. “All politicians are corrupt so it’s ok for Trump to be corrupt” is a very common maga rationalization

Bought it at retail on launch day, which if I recall was like $250 in the US. Still have it and my sons run the Steel Battalion tournament at every Pax East and West.

It was also Carter who started the re-nuclearization of NATO with improved nukes in Europe, but to say this violates the rule that "all scary things happened under Reagan, even the stuff that happened before he was president" (And the Carter/Reagan policy on this was...right.)

Story I remember hearing was that Microsoft told Capcom, make any game you want for Xbox thinking they would do Street Fighter or Resident Evil and they came back with this…the Microsoft execs were like wtf but as you say, signed off on it. To your and their eternal credit.

Windows Vista 64 bit crashing post-install when 4 GB of RAM is installed is perhaps one of the most ironic blunders in OS history. I just experienced it this morning after forgetting about it again and chuckled while taking out a stick of DDR2.

Marjorie Taylor Greene says she is resigning from Congress in January

too many people in Washington. I believe in term limits and do not think Congress should be a lifelong career or an assisted living facility.
My only goal and desire has ever been to hold the Republican Party accountable for the promises it makes to the American people and put America First, and I have fought against Democrat's damaging policies like the Green New Deal, wide open deadly unsafe border policies, and the trans agenda on children and against women.
With that has brought years of nonstop never ending personal attacks, death threats, lawfare, ridiculous slander and lies about me, that most people could never withstand even for a day.
It has been unfair and wrong, not only to me and especially my family, but to my district as well.
I have too much self respect and dignity, love my family way too much, and do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President we all fought for, only to fight and win my election while Republicans will likely lose the midterms.
And in turn, be expected to defend the President against impeachment after he hatefully dumped tens of millions of dollars against me and tried to destroy me.
It's all so absurd and completely unserious. I refuse to be a "battered wife" hoping it all goes away and gets better.
If I am cast aside by MAGA Inc and replaced by Neocons, Big Pharma, Big Tech, Military Industrial War Complex, foreign leaders, and the elite donor class that can't even relate to real Americans, then many common Americans have been cast aside and replaced as well.
There is no "plan to save the world" or insane 4D chess game being played.
When the common American people finally realize and understand that the Political Industrial Complex of both parties is ripping this country apart, that not one elected leader like me is able to stop Washington's machine from gradually destroying our country, and instead the reality is that they, common Americans, The People, possess the real p…

I guess it goes to the argument that the MVP isn’t the best overall player, it’s the one that makes the biggest difference to his team. Though the ultimate metric of that would be WAR, and Judge’s war last time I looked was about +3 over Raleigh

Yep, level one is probably 2 -3 hours. Some of the other levels are smaller but I don’t think the original demo was 45mb - it fit on one 1.44mb floppy.

That demo was Level 1 of the game. I paid like $20 to download it from CompuServe. I’ll always remember when I finished the demo, being in awe that there were 9 more levels like that.
