I understand what you mean about the forums. I have been away a lot of the last few months and only had my phone to watch the forums. You are right about trying to type on the phone. Especially with fat fingers and horrible autocorrect lol. Can't wait to listen to another great episode about another game I never heard of. Thanks for all you do Ferg.

How about you overgrown teenagers leave those Orwellian tracking devices at home for just one day, and see if your lives don't improve? Constant instant gratification leads to neuro-atrophy. Deferred gratification (i.e. having to "work" for something, even if it only entails waiting until you get home to access the Internet (TM) on an actual computer) is good for ya. Remember looking through records, or going to the library to research something? If you begin to twitch involuntarily when separated from your phone for more than a few minutes, you'll know that you have a problem, and you can thank me later for helping you to notice it.  (Well, you knew I was going to say something about all this phone talk, Ferg. Consider it tough love. Or, at the worst, annoyingly sanctimonious. I'll take that, if the words plant even the tiniest seed of dissent!) |

I always look at forums on my computer because I hate typing on the phone myself. I type fast with a physical keyboard, not so on the phone.
Episode already downloaded for listening! Thanks!

I agree with you about the tracking device, that's why I still read real books and leave the devices off when I do it. I watch my young coworkers suffer when they can't have their devices, like a teething toddler. Glad I am ready for Armageddon and no devices. |

I agree, it is why I don't always comment consistently because I am not on my computer. Well that and jealousy of all the cool events everyone gets to got to like free play and prge |

You are absolutely right Chris, of course. But we're probably all going to die soon, so fuck it. 😁

Y'know, that's a great point. We're living in Nero's Rome. The only thing everyone disagrees on is the reason. Well, then, get down with your bad phonin' selves!
In fact, Magoo and I are apparently both ready for Armageddon! I hope Stargunner isn't the last game I ever play.
See how I brought it around there? Not bad, right?
