I'm not sure I understand what this person is even trying to accomplish, and I'm also not sure where or how the person jumped off the deep end to start threatening someone who's caught in the middle. if I was contacted unbidden by a private company contracted by the state to seize some part of my property, I'd probably start off similarly. I'd say to them that I understand they have their contract, and please send me a copy of the executed agreement, since I'm a party to said agreement. Then, since they're a private entity contracted by the government, until my lawyer advises otherwise, I'd make it clear that I would prefer not to deal directly with them on the matter, and instead work directly with the police and the court. Then basically thank them for their time and say that I hope we can speak again under happier circumstances.
I wouldn't threaten them, or involve them directly in the situation. I want the tow truck guys and the yard guys to just stay out of it while I deal with the cops. Personally, I think that's a fair request - limit the number of parties involved. Because if I deal with the towing / storage company, and they release the vehicle to me without confirming with the court and the cops that they're legally allowed to do so, we're both in hot water. If I deal with the cops and they tell the yard to release it, either they'll comply or they'll have problems that don't start with me.
Am I being unreasonable?
@kbal@fedia.io I'll stick to Arena, Daggerfall, and Redguard.
@contrefeu@akko.contref.eu Sorry, I don't speak French, but I'm from New Jersey. I know the history of the Landlord's Game. I assure you that Atlantic City is just as dystopian as it seems in the game. It's a theme-park version of a city, and there's a major attempt to hide all the problems that exist here in New Jersey. The game was never meant to be fun, and I think the house rules which make it less cut-throat and put money back into the hands of players ruin the spirit of the game.
I'm literally dead in about a week. All of my heating, cooking, and refrigeration are electric, and I have no backup supply or the means to safely add a backup. So I'd have no food, very little water, and I'd freeze to death.
Meetup has helped - especially around RPGs and board games. Having a weekly group of friends meeting up with a shared topic helps.
This is the revenge they deserve for Citra & Yuzu.
I'd never thought of using Waterfox. Instead, most of my browsing is Pale Moon & SeaMonkey. Are there any good guides to making Waterfox look like a serious browser?
I miss 3.5, and I hate the current Chrome-lite design. I want tabs underneath my address bar.
I'd love to go somewhere genuinely warm right now. Normally it's okay though.
Glad to see the NYPD doing their jobs. See a line, cross a line.
It's a really fun game - and if you want a more typical action-RPG vibe, you should also seek out the Genesis Shadowrun game. The games are very different, but both are true to the Shadowrun experience.
I tried to avoid translations in my list. But anything by Aeon Genesis is also great, so is Mother 3 with the Tomato Ring. The SMT translations are a high point too.
Having only touched it once, Emerald Rogue is a genuine roguelike in Pokemon Emerald, though I don't know if it works on a flashcart on real hardware.
Who did the most? I'd say probably the USSR by numbers. The US was a huge driver of the war effort, and used a blend of hard and soft power to push. The UK and (Free) France were necessary resistance and emblematic of the other western efforts. The Battle of Britain can't be understated, they were a huge stopping block. ANZAC forces weren't as prevalent in WW2 as they were in WW1 - they weren't the leading force, but they were present and earned every ounce of respect. In theory, Japan could even be on here as a catalyst - even though they were allied to the Nazis and did many horrifying things, had it not been for Pearl Harbor, the US wouldn't have gotten involved.
But really I think it is either the USSR or the USA, with the UK a distant but necessary third.
Hands down my favorite lately is Shadowrun (SNES) - the addition of SNES Mouse support. It makes the game so, so much better. That's been huge for me, since the game is a point-and-click adventure. It's such a quality-of-life improvement. If the mouse existed and was common when Shadowrun was written, I have to hope that they would have thought to allow it.
Also, obviously there's a huge community of SMW hacks, and pretty much anything well-reviewed on SMW Central, I'm liable to enjoy.
In line with yours, there's Pokemon UItra Violet, a great hack of Fire Red for GBA. Also Pokemon Naranja, another Fire Red hack that's based on the Orange Archipelago.
No such thing as a free beer, no more than there's a free lunch.
