It can, but it comes out more like "ROOVE ARONG RITIZEN!"

I would like to, but four-year-olds aren't exactly sanitary and there isn't much I could put her to work on that doesn't involve contact with fresh produce, so I'll probably never have the chance.

I dislike it as well, but not as much as Depth of Field.

Theme Hospital (thumbnail) was dope. I used to rent the PS1 port from my local video store, but never came across it for PC. Used to love Bullfrog Entertainment back in the day and played the absolute hell out of Dungeon Keeper. Theme Hospital wasn't nearly as good, but there was something super chill about designing waiting rooms and deciding where to put the vending machines. For whatever reason, the waiting rooms were always my favorite part.

Shame we never got a proper Dungeon Keeper 3. War For the Overworld is a worthy successor, and getting Richard Ridings ('ELLO, PEPPA!) back to narrate was a boss move, but I don't care for the new creature designs that almost (but don't quite) emulate Bullfrog's creatures. Just doesn't feel right without a few fat bile demons dragging themselves around your corridors.

That's exactly what drove me into seeking out Lemmy instead. I hopped on Mastodon and it made me feel like I was being coralled into following some niche hobby forum exclusively, and I wasn't into that. It didn't explain that the instance itself was largely irrelevant and that the rest of the platform would open up to me after choosing one.

Lemmy still had a learning curve, but having experience with reddit I was able to pick it up easily enough.

You're not wrong. I tend to think the worst of people when I learn they're conservative. I find it difficult to rationalize how they can observe the actions and behavior of conservative leadership and actually cheer them on. But, like my own mother has proven to me, many of them are just ignorant victims of propoganda who are oblivious to the whole picture.

That's definitely how alcoholism tends to manifest.

Bet this is one of those idiots who think Devil's Tower in Wyoming is a petrified giant tree stump from the before-times.

I hate the frequent use of "call(s)" in journalism to paint this dishonest picture that there is a large group or important figures actively motioning to do shit, when it's almost always just as you've said here. One or two inconsequential dicks with a stupid opinion.

Best I had was a Nova Scotia lobster roll with fries cooked in truffle oil. Also way too much wine.

This was one of his first stories (when read in chronological order) that really swept me up. I think about it quite often, actually.
