Doom was a lot easier to mod :V

Tried the wayback machine or whatever it is nowadays? Sometimes you can nab stuff from dead sites off that.

Also consider dropping a line in the forum anyway. Sometimes something like that can get someone stopping by out of nostalgia to stop and answer.

... okay, now it's probably time to take this over to FG&RP, to rot with the other one-line response spamfests. Go make a pun thread, people.

Because it's kinda' interesting? 'Nids are fairly neat, just as an idea. Readin' up on 'em's entertainin' enough to sink a lil' time into it.

So I was wondering, is there some kind of conservative equivalent of the Daily Show? I want to see people making fun of  democrats.
'Bout the closest you're going to get is probably talk radio, if I had to guess.* Conservative equivalent to the Daily Show would be something off in Limbaugh's direction. I've heard several of 'em doing the 'make fun of (sometimes imaginary) liberals' thing. Biggest difference/issue is that they tend to either put pretty vile spin on it or segue into the whole metaphorical C++ insanity as a different part of the show. Not really pure satire, just a satire segment, or sprinkled intermittently through the rest of it.

*And, to be clear, it would be guessing. I both don't see any TV outside of in passing, and don't listen to the radio except when other people have it on (and often turn it off before I end up breaking something, because that shit gets infuriating), so my exposure is somewhat low.

E: Though good luck tuning in to any of it over in godless commie land. I guess some of them have simulcast or whatever it is nowadays, so you might be able to find stuff online? Gods be with you if you actually do find it and start trawling through, though. That shit can get pretty nasty. Enough bell whistles you could melt them down and equip every bell tower in the old world with new bronze. Or whatever the zog they make those bells out of. And that's assuming they're not just saying to hell with whistling.

... reverse censorship? I... guess that is sorta' the worst kind of censorship? Since it's going in the other direction.

Nah, vulcans have more oddities to them than just being faster and stronger. Much closer to eldar (or, well, the other way around, since vulcans came first) than tolkein elves. Overall they definitely hit a lot of your average mary sue points, though.

If you wanted another one that's distinctly anti-sue, gully dwarves probably count pretty well.

I don't really know what "OC character species" exactly means, but I'd probably propose something like the Giff. They're an entire species of hippoman mooks.

Sanders at least has a chance though considering the very-likely nomination of Trump.
Despite how much we've been talking about him, owl, the chances of trump actually getting nominated are pretty close to zero. Dude's getting attention because he's a joke, but when it comes down to it he's a joke. It'll be a hell of a surprise if he actually takes the nomination.

At some point B12 puns stopped being funny.
Or maybe they were never funny? My memory is a bit foggy on that.
This particular round's just notably bad. The ay nonsense isn't helping.

Only for the sad blighters that aren't using darkling.

Pretty sure we've covered the possibility of a vote split before. It'd take more than an act of god for that to make a difference.

Ha, trust me, wasn't forgetting that. Just talking primarily about efforts directly pointed at the cartels themselves (i.e. not exactly much).

Though the militarization and the rights erosion's about as much of an artifact of the war on terror as the war on drugs, insert air quotes as necessary. Interesting how pretty much everything we're actually calling a war nowadays seems to be reaming ourselves about as hard as anything else :-\

It does! You've identified an aspect of the state of current US efforts against the drug trade. Congrats, I guess.

Being equitable, most of the other major countries in the world more or less have their thumbs firmly jammed up their arse on the subject, too *shrugs*

E: There are some more direct efforts, for what it's worth, from what I understand. Cooperation between US organizations and the people directly working against cartels down south, stuff like that. It's just relatively little and not even remotely enough to meaningfully impact supply and whatnot. Generally we just kinda' stick our heads in the ground, shit on local folks for relatively minor drug possession and whatnot crimes, and then pat ourselves on the back and call it day, having done little to nothing and probably making the situation worse.

You don't. Unless you go out and literally blow them up, I suppose, and we're not quite ready to go and explicitly conquer south/central america, yet.

... if it's not obvious by now that the US treatment of the drug situation in this country is completely bughumpingly incompetent, you haven't been paying much attention.

Yeah, there's all sorts of that. Cataurs are fairly common. There's dogs, all sorts of underwater stuff, insects (that's basically your average drider) just... buncha' junk. Lotsa folks get in on the "jam two species together in improbable ways" bandwagon.
