I hope you mean bad journalism and not the movement to stop bad journalism

There will always be bad journalism. Trying to rid the world or just the gaming industry of bad journalism could be equated to the old brown townogy of sweeping a dirt road. There's no way this movement is going to achieve anything, not because of its haphazard coalition of people who have no central force pushing them towards some goal, but because whatever is trying to be achieved is pretty much pointless and practically impossible.

You'd be better off starting your own news site and reporting on gaming stories how you see fit, with whatever ethics that you want to use. The world would be a better place if instead of "opposing" the systems in place people got off their asses and actually worked on a solution or a better alternative to what is already here.


Also, let's not forget I said "All of it.". I would really enjoy it if Polygon, Kotaku, etc would stop posting on the most trivial "offenses" to people in made-up virtual worlds. Let's stop complaining and actually focus on our goals constructively.

I try to standardize my launchers, but every once in a while I make a specialised vehicle. Usually my rockets go like this: payload, skipper engine w half a jumbo tank's worth of fuel, mainsail w jumbo tank

Could you post a picture of your "standard" launcher?

Lol, it's possible to stop but hard.

Even then, once you've stopped you constantly think about smoking. I have had two separate friends in college so far that have quit smoking and picked it up again after talking to me about how much they wanted to smoke. One of them even asked me to pick her up some cigarettes because she was still 17...

If you crave something to the point where you start annoying the people around you with your whining about it, you need to stop.

is it sad that i have never, EVER arrived at any planet other than kerbin (in the case of a failed launch to duna)

That was me before winter break. I loved KSP, but always felt bad that I had never really achieved anything. I'd say watch some tutorials if you can't figure it out on your own.

If I water cool my cpu, am I going to really have to rethink my air flow in my case? Or is it enough to just blow air through a radiator at the top?

is there a reason no one has brought up dota 2 or league of legends?

or are those not RTS

I mean, yeah they're strategic games, but most people consider them as mobas, so when you talk strat games you don't necessarily bring them up.

Endless Legends is fun as hell.

Oooo, also Anno 2070, and perhaps the Guild II, or any of the Paradox grand strategies.
