This is magnificent.

He’s good at messaging from a Christian left perspective. Before I deleted social media, some of his more viral moments on the Texas House floor would make it to my feed. I liked what I heard, but I’m not a Texas resident or voter so Crockett vs Talarico is someone else’s judgement call to make.

As a teen driver, I got a ticket in a school zone two blocks from an elementary school “when children [were] present.” The children in question were my high school peers waiting at a bus stop across the street two hours before the elementary school opened.

After the ticket, I accepted that I definitely violated the letter of the law, but it felt like catching a stray bullet since the teens who made my speed illegal were so obviously not the folks the sign was put up to protect.

This was one I loved, but it wasn’t at all what I expected when I read the Steam blurb. “Be the kind of cop you want to be” or some such nonsense.

But, yeah, it’s basically an existential novel masquerading as a game, and if you don’t like (or at least find it interesting) spending time as the protagonist, then it makes sense to be a hard pass.

I’m in this boat with you. A few months ago I restarted my Valheim server for friends… And only one person joined me, for all of about 30 minutes. I spent a bunch of solo time just building up a base and trying not to progress too far so I wouldn’t ruin the fun.

I’ve been toying with the idea of doing a Zomboid server, too, but I know it will be the same. We’ll play as a group maybe twice, and that will be it.

Does Urban Dead count? I loved Urban Dead for a few years.

I also played something called the Most Wanted Game, which was a mafia/mob themed game where you could form gang coalitions with others and raid adversaries. I think this concept kind of changed into Mafia Wars on Facebook or Clash of Clans as technology progressed and the social proliferation of the Internet continued. (I could be wrong on that, I never played and Facebook games besides Words with Friends, and have never played Clash of Clans - I just assumed they were both different kinds of successors).
