Let me count the ways it has been for me... Capitalization, using -, not using -, wrong quotes, mismatched quotes, no quotes, reading the command the same wrong way about five times and typing it that way. Well this could take forever to list them all.

I just copy paste first now. That way I learn none of the commands or syntax at all

Did you play the BioShock infinite dlc? They had a strange retcon where the Lutece twins approached Fitzroy and instructed her to appear to be a monster, specifically so Elizabeth would feel like she had to kill her.

It was a strange choice, because the remaining revolution was pretty blatantly horrible without her either way, and I'm not entirely sure that's how this sanitized version of her would want it to go.

The politics of BioShock are not all that deep in the end. They're mostly just a setting so they can tell a story of someone forced into a role without understanding it

BioShock 2 revealed that Andrew Ryan had a secret prison to throw people into when they disrupted his control over the city. And more than once he decided he would burn it all down rather than let someone else win.

It may have masqueraded as anarchy, but the system was still rigged from the start. There was always a ruler. And power can corrupt even the strongest idealistic convictions

I choose not to differentiate the two. I think we are all part of the same group

It's home instances that we are tribal about more than software interface.

Did TNG or Voyager have one of these? Worf was never snarky enough and Tuvok was never gruff enough.

I believe it's because it was traditionally "wagons ho!" which was probably seen in films.

And I think non-union tradesmen were often thought of as doing things their own way. Maybe even the slightly wrong way.

I think the term "homemaker" applies

I don't want to watch someone else play a game. I want to play the game myself.

Which is what I do, when I have time

My cat was an "old man cat" for a while before he passed.

Anyhow, a "man cat" just sounds like a cat who dresses up like a man and fights crime

Nobody has mentioned the Fallout games, but they always have a great radio station you can turn on for background music. Sometimes the soundtrack itself is pretty good too.

No, instead scaled sort makes the feed dominated by single users posting the same thing to 5 similar communities. Or a community's single moderator posting 5 or 12 things at once to a community with no users

I find it far less helpful when browsing all.

Boothby also played an alien in a 60s sitcom called My Favorite Martian
