HOUSEKEEPING'S PROFILE

I'm not sure what the DNC would do; they'd likely either let Tim Kaine take over the mantle or give it to the runner up from the primaries (Bernie Sanders)--not sure what the protocol is, and I couldn't find it online, but it's probably out there somewhere. It wouldn't go to Trump because all he's accomplished is becoming the Republican candidate; there are still two major third parties running even if Democrats just magically disappeared. Trump hasn't won any official position with regard to the actual government, so he's not guaranteed anything.

If the fallout of all of this is the Sandman getting back in the race, I'm going to learn how to do a cartwheel so I can better express my internal state.

Trump's not the antichrist; he's just a two-bit conman who was lucky enough to come from wealth.

Sign up to vote, Corfaisus. You can do it by mail in Texas pretty easily. Trump was the only politician shitty enough to push me into actually voting, so I did the mail-in thing and the postage was paid and everything. I know he'll probably win Texas regardless, but the more the popular vote reflects our disdain towards his awful ideologies and repugnant personality, the more he'll cry in the shower at night.

My current markerscore is Persian Blue.

It's a lot easier to get a spotlight on your game if you're building off existing properties. The paradox of a lot of these fan games is if they didn't brand themselves after Mother, Pokemon, Metroid, etc., then they wouldn't have gotten nearly the same amount of exposure in the first place.

The travesty of the FF Mystic Quest rpg maker remake is a good example of this. Anyone in the rpg maker community recognized it as a half-assed knockoff, but it got more exposure than any game on this site (save for maybe Pom). While people are always hungry for new games, there's so much garbage on the market that it's a lot easier to flock to brands that they trust. So, I understand why the Metroid 2 project wasn't called Spacegirl Saves the Brainbug; no one would have cared about it, and it probably wouldn't have gotten made in the first place. They could rebrand and change the assets now, but it feels pretty dishonest to someone who's trying to build something new from the ground up.

I mean, if I were them and I'd put that much work into the project, I would do that, but I just want to preemptively feel bitter about it.

Hazing aside, your mother's got some weird glitch in her brain if she wants her son to be put in a position where he might be killed or have to deal with the lifelong psychological effects of being in a war zone. I don't think you need to worry about being sexually assaulted, though.
