There is that old stronghold game, now that you mention it. Not the castle builder/defender thing, but the D&D styled sorta' proto-Majesty. Think it was fairly hands off in terms of directing your minions... though I couldn't say for sure 'cause I don't think I every managed to puzzle out how the UI worked.

I never could figure out what the hell was going on and how to do stuff, but it was pretty neat anyway...

E: This thing.

Settlers though... Now there's a series I'd completely forgotten about. I suppose something could be said of city (village?) builders like Banished or whatnot since the peeps are moving around with their own plans, but there's no warfare going on so... Eh. Settlers seems to have a bit more personality on that side of things, at least for some of the titles. Dunno, heh, I don't actually have much experience with the games...

I can tell, given you seem to be saying there's no warfare in the settlers games

... mind you, I can't recall how much there was, given I've played all of one demo of their junk back in like the 90s, but there was definitely warfare involved. Iirc it was vaguely frustrating to direct, manage, etc. Even more so than the rest of the gameplay. _{you might be able to tell but I've never been exactly fond of settlers or its general design direction :V}

Quick check suggests the current DoJ doesn't think employees specifically for the white house office would run afoul the nepotism restrictions. Something about the specific position and a few others technically not being part of some specific agency, or something like that. Apparently the question was asked in relation to Nixon, too (go fucking figure), and the legal eightball came back "answer hazy enough you should come back when you have a desperate enough dumbshite to push the issue".

That said, I'm not sure how much I believe the current DoJ's legal advisement when it comes to what the president can and can't do, as a general thing. It could probably be taken to court, for clarification if nothing else. There's not a clear yes or no answer... yet.

I... think it was 1/4th pepsi, 1/4th dr pepper, and then the rest blueberry minute maid. Some sort of blue soda, anyway. You know you got it right when the drink turns swamp algae green. Tastes pretty great.

There's also soda tea, which is less a specific mix and more "steep your preferred tea mixture in boiled carbonated/caffeinated drink of preference". Mountain dew with green tea or barqs root beer with gojiberry are decent starters, iirc.

There is candy floss, but it doesn't go in your mouth.

There's a special place in hell for people that drive five under the speed limit outside of residential areas and then five over inside them.

It might somehow manage to be an upgrade, I'unno. Kelly was pretty much a piece of human shit.

Is intentionally handing over children to traffickers better or worse than intentionally working to fuck immigration policy hard enough kids just happen to end up with them? Do we try to weigh a relative preference here or just wish both options were varyingly metaphorically buried in a hole somewhere?

Either that or keeping pressure on a gut wound.

Why not both?
