Then you should have found a way to get NASA better funding. This is what happens when you don't: The russkies beat you to looting UFOs and gets to name the fancy space materials.

For what it's worth, iirc there's been a few pirate, for lack of a better word, MP servers out there on and off throughout the years, too. So you might actually be able to get in on a MP game if something's up at the moment.

Which, uh. If you can, I would totally recommend. Easily one of the most enjoyable multiplayer experiences I've had in my life, heh. Was kinda' like what'd happen if diablo met a FPS deathmatch arena, with the primary game mode being Capture the Flag. Only, y'know. Iron golems. Spell traps. Fireball staves, crossbows (close to sniper rifles, effectively), rivers of lava, and so on and so forth. Was pretty friggin' great.

And yeah the SP experience is also damned nice for its time. Game didn't get nearly as much attention as it probably deserved when it came out, heh.

I didn't realize Rob Ford was involved in the Trump campaign.

Oh, he's not. But where do you think he learned his ways? Ain't nobody that knows hookers and blow better than a conservative politician.

Kindly reminder there is a link to trump's donation page upthread a bit. If you really want to support him, put up the greens. I'm sure his campaign will end up using the money for something important, and not just more cocaine to snort from prostitute nethers.

Google (game malor snow leopard) seems to think it's a flash game called endeavor.

All I know looking at it is that forget the rest of the forces, those no-need-to-eat swans are gorram amazing. Get coastal province, get fort, set swanherds to repeat, never look back. Look out reanimators, we got flying supply free chaff pouring out of our orifices.

There's plenty of reasons to use a pen name just for stuff in different genres, explicit material or not, though. It's not exactly a bad idea to have specific sorts of material attached to a particular name, rather than many different sorts attached to a single one. S'kinda' how some game publishing/development companies run, really, and it can be fairly effective branding and whatnot. It's not like authors have to use pen-names to manage, after all. Just look at Piers Anthony, who had one major series they were known for that was (almost) entirely clean and basically everything else they wrote (of which there was quite a bit), under the same name, was inundated with smut (say it again, guy who wrote a gigantic series aimed at young adults/older teens also wrote Pornucopia. And its sequel.). Fairly sure there's no small number of similar cases out there, yeah.

The want to is more of a thing, but... well, it's not the world we live it, heh. If it isn't porn it's ghost writing for some popular series or putting out whatever's trending that month, or just doing some other sort of work. To an extent, I'd even call that kinda' okay, m'self. I don't entirely mind authors having to branch out and/or keep producing new material to keep themselves afloat, y'know? Also who's to say they actually dislike writing th'stuff :V Some probably do, and yeah, sympathy to 'em, but if there's anything that seems to be a (guilty) pleasure for prolific writers, it's writing porn.

Though me, I don't dream of a world when an author can get by on writing best-sellers, I dream of a world where they can write and not have to be making best-sellers to get by

... mostly because I don't really read best sellers these days. I just want the internet writing people to be able to eat and keep producing my readins. Kinda' stopped caring much about the published book scene around the point fresh paperbacks started costing 150-200% more than they did when I was a kid
