3 games that have rewired my brain in ways that I find hard to describe, 3 games that have writing I think about every day, and 3 games that are just the type of action I really enjoy.

Kojima: I was reading Catcher In The Rye and it moved me. I emailed JD Salinger and he agreed to be scanned for DS2.

Reporter: Thatโ€™s.. How did you

Kojima: all our souls are separated by a โ€œCaul Field.โ€ I think JDโ€™s performances as Ryeman and Catcherman will impress everyone.

Names of Athenian Triremes: Investigating Group Cohesiveness and Social Identity in the Athenian Navy of the 4th Century BC - Journal of Maritime Archaeology The set of inscriptions known as the Naval Inventories of Athens (IG II2 1604โ€“IG II2 1632) provide a wealth of information regarding the state of the Athenian navy in the fourth century BC. The inscri...

I guess I didnโ€™t wake up thinking I needed to know the names of the 279 named triremes โ›ต๏ธin the 4th century BCE Athenian navy, but it appears we all do. link.springer.com/article/10.1... I do like that 3.58% had animal names like ฮ›ฮตฮฟฮฝฯ„แฟ† (lion skin) and ฮ›ฮญฮฑฮนฮฝฮฑ (lioness). Greek epigraphy is fun! ๐Ÿชฆ

What a game! Check it out, get a key, watch your robots die to flamethrowers.

I can remember that fangs are 6, sledges are 7, crawlers phoenixes and wasps are 16.

Actually messed myself up pretty bad today by having my sledges so far back that even when my phoenix were on the back wall they still hit the enemy line too early, every turn i had to beacon them in circles.

03.03.2026 22:23 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I've definitely lost a bit of my touch on getting units to hit the front at the same time - I used to be really good at getting fangs, sledges, and crawlers to all engage within about 1s of each other, as opposed to dying pointlessly in a chain.

03.03.2026 21:49 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

That's my gut. I've generally favored far back, symmetrical deployments, *mostly* because whenever I do aggro deployments my opponent just trivially suckerpunches my forward units with held-back abilities/missiles.

I've started playing Mechabellum again thanks to @prostoic.bsky.social 's influence. Haven't sorted out myself w/r/t the turrets but man, what a game.

That Bioshock 1 seems so trenchant is less a testament to the writers' aim than to the ease of nailing libertarians.

It's so strange that its like, of all the books to try and imitate the obvious bad guys who very canonically get their comeuppance, they chose the villains of the Christian Bible??

Stream over! Spent a lot of time processing The Horrors and then shook off some of the rust on my calligraphy. Thank you for the raids @pandaheroroux.bsky.social @acewindfallch.bsky.social and @civilfortissimo.bsky.social . We raided out to @bonnicula.bsky.social, fellow "don't ignore" believer.

Of all of the FOTM streamer games, none of them has ever been a quicker "No, I will not" than Mewgenics.

The logic here is I think easy: people do not read the bombers as allies against their local government, but as arbitrary outside murderers that are even harder to negotiate with than on the ground invaders. Bombing a country vindicates its hardliners and discredits its dissidents.

Horrifying news to wake up to.

History rarely, but occasionally, gives us obvious things we can predict. One of them is that long range bombings against civilians harden civilian resistance to outsiders and deepen loyalty to their existing government.
