Because, as we all know, the United States government has final and ultimate authority on what does and does not make a terrorist organization. Doesn't matter if a group promotes and perpetuates terrorism unless ol' Uncle Sam gives his say-so.

The US doesn't appear to have an explicit designation for domestic terror groups like it does for non-domestic ones, for what that's worth (there's a questionable amount of surprise there considering what our primary sources of domestic terrorism are, but eh). The proud boys are "just" an extremist domestic terror threat, so far as the official stuff goes. Same sort of shit as the KKK, right down to what it claims to be instead of a white supremacist terrorist organization.

Interesting to hear they've also been recognized as an international terror group with the canadian branch being officially pegged, though.

At least bumber's not trying to contest that a non-white terrorism linked vigilante that did make it to court after gunning people down in the street wouldn't have much of a chance of being cleared of all charges anymore, I guess. Still having trouble understanding the words "fairly likely", but it's getting there.

Why it's cut off from the world can be a good foundation to build off of. There's a pretty neat arc in a litrpg thing (Delve) I've read through a few times that has a town very literally cut off from the rest of the world due to an ancient defensive shield -- some of the sudden logistics issues they find themselves dealing with is not dying of thirst and not boiling alive due to all the trapped heat, on top of a number of other things.

Low level stuff in that sort of case would be hauling water barrels or lighting torches around defensible areas or somethin', dealing with smaller issues while bigger names deal with major ones. Work with simple, reasonable things abnormally capable youths(?) would be expected to be tasked with or find themselves taking up in an emergency.

You'd use that to sneak in bits of world building (monsters can spawn in darkness, there's ancient magical arrays, etc.) and dial in how much realism you care about caring about. The trauma and damage of being stuck like that for a while would be an excellent excuse to get your critters out of town afterwards, refugee escort an easy travel hook.

Substitute as necessary for whatever reason your starter town is cut off. There's lots of room to play with something like that.

I'd say lower, really. At least as low as whatever age your country's willing to try someone as an adult in a court of law (which stateside would be, like... twelve or something, maybe lower, ha) or allow them to emancipate or drive or whatever.

If your political system's so fucked up the minority of a minority of your population that would be represented by teens willing to vote is causing issue, you got bigger problems and might as well let them participate in the electoral system while it's still there

Troll monk wrassled a megaraptor while their friends hit it with sticks and punched it to death. I'm not sure if any game that lets you wrassle a megaraptor is a good one, but it's got to be close.

Low Magic Age is the name, still in EA, home ruling away level adjustments makes for some wonderful hilarity.

You've provided literally no facts or evidence, on top of straight up being wrong in regards to at least one of the folks you cited (coffee's not been found not guilty of everything involved, and is in fact looking down the barrel of a multi-decade sentence related to it right now).

Bumber at least tried, but both coffee and this other fellows situations are wildly different and entirely divorced from the statement I made. Try reading the words that are on the screen next time, mate.

Terraria's pretty alright, but I'd wait until the modding stuff gets fully updated. Lots of it adds real neat stuff to the game, but the upgrades to bring the modding backend up to the latest version of the main are very not out of alpha testing. Very not.

It's entirely possible I got tired of the grind and broke out the trainers (this was the old days of +13 or whatever!) or save gamr editor before I hit the point potion use wasn't largely ignorable. I don't remember leaning heavily on them in whatever portion of D2 I played, though.

... it's also fairly likely I was leaning into some form of mana regen and lifesteal or whatever, too... I've long had a predilection towards regen type builds in basically any game that allows them, specifically so I can stop pressing the drink potion (equivalent) buttons

Seems to be multiple, actually.

Some folks just like homebrew, there's apparently a particular sort of accomplishment/enjoyment/whatever in making something with the same junk as an older generation of machines. It's like folks making cart functional NES games or somethin'. It's a neat sort of project, there doesn't have to be more motivation for it than that.
