Yes, you need a special bed for special boys. You can usually find them in Tech/Mechanics shops in most cities and in Tech Hunter Outposts.

No like I said it only had 9 points of wear on the leg. I cannot heal it from negative with a repair kit.

Your cyberleg is in negatives? I think that it might be destroyed, so it can't be used at all and needs to be replaced. Not sure, though.

Apparently prognosticators thought that the shutdown would end with DACA for the wall, but that's just the republicans building a crisis and then offering to stop it in exchange for other concessions. The old era democrats would have fallen for it.

I'm pretty sure that the American response to Nazism should involve an M1 Garand, not voting him to the house of representatives.

To be clear, I'm not advocating that anyone assassinate Representative Steve King with an M1 Garand, which can be obtained through the CMP (civilian marksmanship program) and gun shows, and uses the 30–06 Springfield cartridge. I'm just saying that Representative Steve King shares many ideological traits with the sorts of people whom many Americans rightly considered it their duty to shoot with M1 Garands in the past. I think that taking violent action against an elected representative would be illegal, harmful, and messy, and it would have severe negative consequences for the nation.

A co-op wave defense building game with economic elements.

So you start with a flag in an open field, X PC or NPC buddies, and the first wave of enemies.

After that wave, there's a pause (probably somewhat manual) and you have time to build defenses. This loop continues until you either are destroyed or build up your infrestructure to the point that you're secure.

The economic elements consist of supplying and preparing your automated defenses and have secured a steady supply of industrial materiel for the next round of building. There's a (fairly broad and short) resource tree that you need to collect and refine, and there's also power concerns. Power plants need to be protected, but if you have shields, then the cooling systems need to be outside of them, for instance. Building the structures probably calls for assembling premade sections rather than minecraft-style block-by-block building, but there might be room for both.

The attack waves include really diverse enemies, from simple stupid melee monsters to smart and tactical ranged soldiers. I like the idea of using evolutionary approaches to modify the critters. That is, evaluate fitness by the amount of damage done by an enemy, and allow it to adjust various properties such as speed, armor, health, damage, and coloration in order to fine-tune it to being effective. It should be meaningfully difficult to survive a wave, and almost every wave is going to do some damage to your defenses. By the end of your game, your base is going to have evolved a lot like the enemy has.

I'd like to give players the ability to fine-tune their characters as well. Maybe one of the ways you can upgrade yourself is by building armor pieces that can give tweaks, abilities, and even unusual disadvantages. Juggernaut armor prevents you from building anything or jumping, but makes you stronger in combat, for instance.

It sounds like it might be much easier to control Trump if people just lied.

He asks, "I'll sign anything you give me now if I get a wall in 30 days."

Just say OK. Lie to him. He won't remember it in 30 minutes, let alone a month.

Not exactly a game but maybe a mod.

Something I've always wished for, was a mod for Skyrim where it would allow me to become the Jarl of any city, and along with that, it allowed me to wage wars against the others holds. Managing armies, move my armies across the map through a special screen like a Strategy map, and then I should be able to acctually go there and see my troops fighting. If such mod already exists please show me and you will make a man happy!

Mount and Blade it does all of that and more.
