    GATE: and so the Iron Pact Fought (a GATE: and thus the JSDF Fought fic)

    Well, elements of splitting up do happen here, too; it's just that they're meeting up with the Speculatore (Roman military spies) instead of splitting up to cover more ground. You wouldn't believe how much of my real-life frustrations and anxiety pushed this snippet over the finish line. I was...

    GATE: and so the Iron Pact Fought (a GATE: and thus the JSDF Fought fic)

    Now, this next snippet centers around Pina, with Hamilton gone to meet with a Speculatore*, trying to make sense of the situation surrounding Italica as she and the Rose Order are forced to play wack-a-mole against bandits instead of gathering intelligence on the Men in Green. * Speculatore are...

    IN THE NAME OF KANE! The CnC Story Recs and Ideas Thread

    As one person on YouTube said, "Indeed, General Solomon was the only one with the presence and charisma to be a worthy counterpart to Kane." He will be missed. :(

    Threadmarks: James Earl Jones Passes Away at 93

    I am sad to announce that the legendary actor James Earl Jones -known in the CnC Fandom as General Solomon- has passed away. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyHErsZ2CsQ&ab_channel=CNN

    GATE: and so the Iron Pact Fought (a GATE: and thus the JSDF Fought fic)

    These snippets are not the final product. I'm taking a page from @Kiyone4ever and his Gate fic (The Janus Campaign), where I post snippets of the next chapter to gauge the reactions of the snippet and get any help with anything that my spellcheck and whatnot misses.

    GATE: and so the Iron Pact Fought (a GATE: and thus the JSDF Fought fic)

    Ok, sorry for the god-forsaken long hiatus. Real Life was a complete and utter bitch. Subway took a lot of my energy (especially since it was doing Amazon BS), meaning that I had less time and energy for anything more than snippets. The only reason that I'm getting back into it now is because...

    The Music Thread

    Given that it literally birthed an entire genre of games and built that genre to near ubiquitous for a good decade... ... not surprising.

    Given that Tib absorbs heavy elements like a sponge, not that likely. In addition, what can contain Tib can easily contain radiation from fission... The funny thing is that with the prevalence of nuclear power, synthetic plastics, petrochems, and rubber can be made at a massive scale without...

    IN THE NAME OF KANE! The CnC Story Recs and Ideas Thread

    So, I've been working on the CnC Generals/Tiberium fusion and got you some things: Timeline so far. Basically, Kane's Black Hand got a little sloppy and caused the creation of GDI's predecessor (using a reformation of the Peacekeepers as a cover) leading to a series of events that include...

    ... that ignores what Electronic Communities predicted (and, oddly enough, proved), though. Then again, a lot of people have better faith in humanity when it should never be warranted in the first place. All that's happening these days stems from the fact that we rather thoroughly ignored that...

    From what I understand, no. The mere presence of various laws is a threat in itself, sadly enough. The big thing is that the 'Wild West' period has been ending in the last half-decade or so. However, my stance is that -with some benefit of hindsight, though supported mainly by MIT's Electronic...

    This is the same thing for Tumbler as it is for DeviantArt: legal protection. Basically, DeviantArt is covering their legal asses, or they'll get shut down.

    The world once oil starts drying up.

    Petrochems are more than just fuel, mind you; it's plastics, medicines, and even fertilizers. Fission's (and fusion's) energy-to-weight ratio is immense, and people's resistance to it is why I said it's a problem.

    The world once oil starts drying up.

    Sorry but, no, technological limitations are the reasons why things like slavery and serfdom existed. We've literally become the horse in the car analogy. That's a sad reality we must face in the end. Not really. The thing is that we've got the technology to produce synthetic petrochems; the...

    That line is completely uttered by the Nintendo haters, Nintendo Doctrine has always been 'build around a core game loop, add things to make things fun' more than anything. Innovating for the sake of innovating is forbidden in Nintendo, though.
