I used to be chill.

But then what I thought was cool became old, and what is cool now is scary.

You're still pretty chill. With the right watch, the right alcohol and the right soundtrack your are epic.

You can (and do) surf. That is way more cool than most of us.

Welcome, Rusty. Hopefully one day your sister Busty will follow you over here.

Sorry to disappoint, but no sister Busty! However, I could introduce you to my much older senior citizen sister Crusty O0

Welcome to the club Rusty. I'm so old my avatar name could be, 'Musty'.

Nobody wants to meet his uncle, "Gusty", either. He's not allowed to eat curry in six districts now!

This is the most detailed welcome ever! :DD
Do you also have a relative called 'Fusty' by any chance? (go google translate)

Gusington · January 30, 2021, 05:00:07 PM

Gusty and Crusty, not sure which is more gross.

Wait...yes I am.

Where are the wargames - be they 4X, political sims, strategic/tactical/operational games or whatever - that have an AI/programmed opponent that can improvise? Nearly every game we play, the AI opponent will make a direct bee-line for whatever passes as an objective.

Nearly all of out wargames are built in these clean, known, well researched contexts with easily exploitable AI/programmed opponents and/or multiplayer systems that are balanced so perfectly, or so perfectly flawed, as to be completely flavorless.

For eons I have been trying to convince wargame makers to make the AI a pluggable module. So that outsiders can program an opponent.

No go. You'd have to reveal too much of the internal workings for their taste. Never mind that every FPS game since the original quake had that ability.
