    Yes, ask Reagan or Bush Sr who both controlled this rabid dog. You say you’ll take away their weapons, they stop. It’s a client state, not an ally as the relationship is by all measures entirely one-sided.

    It’s best to think of Israel as a 51st US state, and the president of the US ordering the war.

    If your lesser evil voting strategy ends with genocide either way, it’s time you try a new strategy.

    a candidate that literally moved the Israeli embassy to Israel

    I think you mean Jerusalem, and again, this was in Clinton’s plans if she’d won.

    Same here. My folks caved and bought a second phone line for computing, however it didn’t help. My friend & I would use the first phone line for voice communication :)

    The phone pressed to my ear with my shoulder, yelling to my buddy while fighting off cacademons, such good times.

    I enjoy the flow of the new Doom Eternal, once you get the hang of it you can keep an infinite supply of health and ammo that only runs out when everything’s dead - and you end up taking on much more than you thought possible.

    However the jaw-dropping, frightening game that Doom was in 1993 will never be recaptured. Yes, scary games existed. Yes, 3D FPS existed. But nothing came close to Doom, it was a graphical marvel. I’d show it to friends, grandparents, anyone who’d look and they’d all either be amazed or reach for the bible. Their idea of video games was mario, Doom broke brains.

    Doom 2 is what I played most. At the time, playing over a local BBS with my 28k modem (the fastest available!), I could see that network play was the future of gaming.
