I think that would be throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

People who live in an area should be empowered to push back against outside interests coming in and changing things to the detriment of the residents, like the HOA posted earlier that protected their forest and watershed.

The problem is that this power is often turned back onto the residents. This sounds to me like hyper-local politics - and so the answer is to get involved and vote out the assholes in power, not ban the existence of the political body!

(Edit) I didn't realize this, but some HOAs are controlled by outside developers, rather than local residents? That I can get behind banning!

Mine has been docked for months at a time. I recently started shifting it to be near the kids when they're home; but not undocking it wouldn't strike me as strange at all.

That's a really tough thing to deal with, but that doesn't mean what you did was wrong.

I can't see Trump being the sort to try to build something beyond himself. I don't think he could see the point of trying to cultivate a successor; and even if he did, I think he would see them as potential competition - he'd likely try to sabotage them, if anything.

Some of those solo games can be played with multiple players and no GM, too!

Ugh, okay - I suspected something hinky was going on with Adam just from the summaries I'd seen, but I'm just as happy to give that game a miss now! Think I like him better as a brain in a box, but it still colors their relationship...

But not the stem!

What went on in that game? The plot synopses I've found have lacked detail; he just comes off as vaguely controlling and uncommunicative.

That's the one I haven't played. Then I had to look up who this weird "Adam" character was in some of the following games...

I remember the plot was odd, but reading a random wiki didn't make the story really stick for me.

We need more chicks who are “Basically the female equivalent of Duke Nukem”, and only Lara and Bombshell (from Ion Fury) come close to that bill

I've long been a fan of Samus Aran!

Does that show Ben Shapiro’s people made to be a Pro-Right Cartoon, but failed when the super woke antagonist was… a far more likable character than the protagonist, and said protagonist was so accidentally queer-coded as a closested gay bear with a crush on the woke antagonist guy that it attracted a Leftist fanbase that ships the Protagonist and Antagonist together? To such an extent that it might as well be a canon pairing?

Oh my god, this blew right past me! What show was this?
