Ten Second News
From CNN Business:
New York (CNN Business)Sheldon Adelson, the chairman and CEO of Las Vegas Sands and a major donor to Republican politicians, died late Monday following complications related to his cancer treatment, his company said. He was 87.
Adelson took a leave of absence from Sands last week to resume treatment for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which his aides first disclosed in late February 2019.

Comment →In the wake of the violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol by scores of President Trump’s supporters, a lone researcher began an effort to catalogue the posts of social media users across Parler, a platform founded to provide conservative users a safe haven for uninhibited “free speech” — but which ultimately devolved into a hotbed of far-right conspiracy theories, unchecked racism, and death threats aimed at prominent politicians.
The researcher, who asked to be referred to by their Twitter handle, @donk_enby, began with the goal of archiving every post from January 6, the day of the Capitol riot; what she called a bevy of “very incriminating” evidence. According to the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab, among others, Parler is one of a number of apps used by the insurrections to coordinate their breach of the Capitol, in a plan to overturn the 2020 election results and keep Donald Trump in power.

After close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence.https://t.co/CBpE1I6j8Y

This is one of those games that just sticks with you forever.
I seriously would have thought that Gamma World or Star Frontiers would have sticking power through the ages but those things are merely remembered and gigglesnorted about on the off chance that someone might be interested enough to look up the reference (and only if there’s a link handy).
Paranoia, though… even people who never played it feel like they must have, during one session that they don’t remember for some reason.Report
I still have my Star Frontiers books.Report
I’m still surprised that there hasn’t been a Star Frontiers video game.
It’s a property with a bit of history, old people will buy it off of the name alone, and the mechanics can be fairly easily programmed into any given RPG engine.
Hell, just mine the two or three best-selling modules for plot ideas and come up with some over-arching storyline to link all three stories together.
THEY’RE LEAVING MONEY ON THE TABLEReport
I’ve started playing King’s Quest. So far, so nostalgic, though I am now remembering not just how much I liked it, but also that I was never very good at it :D.
Star Trek Timelines is way more fun than it has any right to be, the actor’s real voices, etc., def add something as free facebook games go.Report
