is it actually 100% true

Whoops, somehow, I read "Tyranny" as "Pillars". Well, either way, I think you're better off with a little bit softer of an approach for a new setting. Baldur's Gate was, you're raised in this great library-fortress of Candlekeep by your foster father Gorion, you're about to go on a journey, get ready. Simple, to the point, nothing too crazy mentioned yet. Pillars was a bit more forceful, especially when you threw that intro guy repeatedly saying the word "Glanfathan" multiple times in the first conversation. If I've played the game for a while, "Glanfathan" probably sounds perfectly fine...but uh, two seconds into the game and hearing it voiced a few times like that is a little much.

I didn't much like that, either. GLANFARTHAN(?) THIS, GLANFARTHAN THAT, what the heck are we even talking about, let me get at least a little accustomed to the setting before you start having all this thrown at me

...I think they meant story-wise...

Bayonetta, most likely, judging from the boot.

Yeah, I remember in grade school being utterly bored learning about the World Wars and history in general. Meanwhile, in fifth grade, I was spending recesses being entranced by Harry Turtledove's Into the Darkness, which is almost quite literally just World War II in fantasy form, murder and genocide and rapes and all*. Stupid kid brains are stupid, who would've figured? Now, history is one of my favorite subjects... *No, it wasn't really a totally appropriate book for my age, I guess, but you know, it was a character-building experience.

An intriguing development, at the very least.

Pictures of your Games Episode IX - The Bigger Picture

I can never tell what the heck games you guys are playing if you don't say what they are. -
And I wish you would go back to reddit. Can't tell if he's talking about the liberals or conservatives here... Or maybe he means the awful mental degenerates who are in between.

Yeah, Paradox is their publisher, I'm not even slightly surprised. Throw the actually important stuff in the expansion packs, and throw the cosmetic nonsense in the DLC - that's the Paradox way.

Is there a specific part in there that I'm supposed to watch, or...

To be fair, though, that meme video is pretty hilarious.

I could survive with no internet or TV, but no utilities...no way of listening to my music or playing my games or reading my books (I've switched entirely to ebooks: I hate the feeling of real books)...I didn't spend years of work carefully putting together my entertainment/media collection just to not be able to use it!

Hah, I was just going to post that. Here is the go fund me page: https://www.gofundme.com/BuyCongressData The CAH guy warned against donating to any campaigns like these for the time being, because we don't even know the mechanic for buying data yet. That campaign looks like it was created by some random.

Build a wall? around the school

It's literally embarrassing, I'm not even kidding or exaggerating in the slightest. You have literally ~20 year old games like Age of Empires that forced client-server synchronization: you're telling me MASS EFFECT in 2017 can't? Are you serious? Just...what?
-
Which comes back to project mismanagement, huh...
-
That's pretty crappy. Not what Cheat Engine is supposed to be for. ...Also, it's embarrassing that the netcode is so bad that client-side changes also affect the server. Hyuk.

Yeah, uh, any singleplayer game that pulls that crap on me is gonna find itself completely and permanently disconnected from the internet and in offline mode right quick. Into the trash it goes.

Does Cheat Engine's speedhack help speed through the repetitive area transitions at least? Where the heck I would be without Cheat Engine in my life, I just don't know...

What? I thought Greenlight didn't even exist anymore! Valve has been talking about shelving it for literally the past 3-4 years - how haven't they gotten around to it yet?

Shooting for the legs is actually pretty dangerous because of the strong possibility of hitting major blood vessels that will almost assuredly cause death without immediate treatment. Sadly, there's not really a good (i.e. reliable) non-lethal way of actually shooting a gun besides the very difficult targets of hands and feet...

On a side-note, the split being so relatively small also explains why owners don't feel like paying for their own stadiums: it would take decades to pay off stadiums with the money they actually get from their NFL enterprises - never minding any other costs. Obviously, that doesn't make the NFL making cities pay for it instead any better, but it at least explains part of it.

Players made roughly 4.96 billion of 6 billion revenue last year. That's not quite right, because that assumes that every team spent to their cap limit, but it is, at the very least, what is allocated to the players. That's roughly 83% of the NFL's revenue. I'm not sure how this compares to other sports, but it's not like it's INSANELY out of whack to split the last billion between 32 different owners. That's only 30 million per team per year.
