I tend to like 4X strategy games, in the Civilization, Alpha Centauri, Master of Orion mould.
I run Linux. This has been an unhappy thing for gaming for a long time, but the times they are a changing.
I read science fiction, fantasy, non-fiction lefty political economy, and fluffy romance manga. My collection of F&SF covers numerous bookshelves.
I play tabletop roleplaying games; for that, computers still don't cut it.
I am a radical left wing loonie as a result of long and careful thought, reading, and experience.
