Overhyped or underhyped: Paradox grand strategy games?
I desperately want to say overhyped but the tragedy of it is there really isn't much competition in the space to compare them to. Their main flaws are basically universally embraced even more enthusiastically by anything you could call an alternative.

I memorized it during the summer of 2010 when I was completely out of anything to do. I don't keep it memorized anymore, it is too big for me to memorize and I've never written it down, though I have often looked it up. I like that number but I don't really use it. I can probably put that in the same category as those people who memorize prime numbers for fun. I am not especially proud of my memory.
Hi! Thanks for writing that post about building a PC! What's your opinion on buying used graphics cards? I've seen some on offer that still have one year of warranty left. Anything to watch out for? (Besides the usual "if it looks too good to be true..." stuff.)
Used can be a good choice if you're looking for something under $300-ish, for $200-300 you can get a used Nvidia 2060 or 1080, or an AMD 5700, which are solid cards that will give you a good time.
I wouldn't pay more than $100 for them but you can still get the GTX 1060 and RX 580, which are ageing but can still hold their own at medium-low settings 1080p60. I wouldn't go any older than that.
Once you crack $350 or so you're probably better off getting the current generation budget cards like the RTX 3060 and RX 6600 unless you've got a really good deal on an RTX 2080.
If you can buy the card out of a running system that's ideal, or if you can somehow bring your system to test it out, but if it seems like a fair price you'll typically be fine. Places like eBay will have return policies that are pretty good at protecting you from fraudulent sellers.
I don't always have the attention span available to read your fiction, but when I do I never regret it! I love the switching perspectives in your Shadows in the Cave setting!
Oh, thank you! Absolutely always love to hear that someone's enjoyed it.
The switching perspectives are a lot of fun to write, honestly. Though they do start to limit ideas for more little snippets if I want to keep the world feeling mostly empty and mysterious - only so many different subjects all three organizations can have opinions on before the fact that they don't have clear pictures of each other starts to strain disbelief.
If you could design a character for a Street Fighter game, what would they be like?
I imagine they would move in a big, loopy, mechanical way, like a stereotypical Street Fighter character. But then, every once in a while, I would put in a new "move" and it would be so inappropriately metatextual that I would get banned from Capcom.
Like, the basic move set would have grabs, throws, uppercuts, foot sweeps, etc. but there would also be things like "Ground Squirrel" where your character crouches down on all fours and starts digging a hole, or "Ironic Bird" where a bird flies onto your shoulder and flaps, or "Let's Fight" where your character throws their hands up in the air and exclaims "LET'S FIGHT"

Hey Frank, are you still living on the moon? Did you encounter any more strange aliens?
The moon is a big place.
Frank is also a big place and I can't possibly tell you everything about her.
Do you like Epic Rap Battles of History? If so, what are your top ten episodes?
Yes, I've been meaning to watch more of them. Here are the episodes I've watched so far, in order:
Clive of India (vs. Peter) (I can't recall the actual debate but it was a "mythical Indian king is actually this historical guy")
Hannibal Lecter (vs. The Marquis de Sade) (the debate had to do with modern authors)
Charles Darwin (vs. Jean-Baptiste Lamarck) (the debate involved "scientific" objections to Darwin's theory, though in the actual video it got sidetracked and turned into an argument over whether Darwin was actually good at science as an amateur)
Karl Marx (vs. Proudhon) (there were multiple different debates on this one and you had to scroll past a bunch before reaching the actual debate -- it got very repetitive)
Boris Pasternak (vs. Vladimir Nabokov) (in this episode the argument was just what you'd think it would be about the novel "Bend Sinister," though for some reason the Nabokov vs. Pasternak part is included in the episode title)
Albert Einstein (vs. Stephen Hawking) ("Einstein/Hawking" is just the name of the book, with no other connection between the names)
Martin Luther (vs. Pope Leo X) ("The Popes and the Protestants: The Pope Vs. Martin Luther" is the actual title of this video and why I decided to start it with Luther)
Socrates (vs. Plato) (there were many different debates on this one, but this is the "main" one: the debate was just what you'd think it would be about. There were also other debates on this video, but you had to scroll past a bunch)
Sigmund Freud (vs. Otto Weininger) (this one was just "who is better, Freud or Weininger"? no real debate)
Nikola Tesla (vs. W.C. Tandy) (also a "historical/biographical debate" -- the debate was over "Is Tesla Actually Genius, Or Just an Egomaniac?")
That's the ones that I've watched, I hope it's a representative sample!
My brain has a talking back department, what do?
You have a talking brain department? I'm honored.
