I think I fall into that camp of people of love RTS games, but find it too stressful to play competitively. I like to turtle up and build my cool base and then run over the enemy with a wave of tanks. Command & Conquer was my jam. Betwe

Should deliveries stop, the stocks inside modern superstores might hold out a bit longer than 9 meals, but not much longer.

It can also be a learned reaction due to past experience. Shortage or hungry times resulting in an instinct to overeat when food is available to act as a buffer should bad times come again.

Christ. I'm glad you and the pup made it through that scary situation. Due to the potential for an extreme outcome, I've long though Swatting should cop the 'prankster' an attempted murder charge. Which is in itself prob

All but the most rural police departments have long since moved to frequency hopping, encrypted radios thanks to DHS initiatives and funding, no? This also adds complexity to the task of triangulating them doesn't it?

I think I have to agree. I much prefer a good stylistic approach over hyper-realism in most of my games. I always point to World of Warcraft, imo the style and 'cartoony' color palette not only looked visually appealing but helped

This is good, right? Then a team of <trolls/activists> can all arrive at the same time and order a big pile of 'secret menu' 19-ingredient monstrosities from the CEO.
