PoE3 or Tyranny2?
I'd say the odds are very good we will see more in the PoE setting, as it is an original IP that they have complete control . It is probably unlikely we see another Tyranny, since Paradox would need to be involved.

Politics: The Undiscovered Country
I'm not really sure that talking to the Taliban is fine, unless that talking is going to get them to stop oppressing everyone in the areas they control. These aren't just cultural differences, there are some serious human rights abuses happening here.

Straws are dumb. I guess if your arms are broken, they are important, but I can't think of many other reasons why they are such a big deal. Drink from the freaking cup.

Politics: The Undiscovered Country
Maybe he should just have those conversations with the people in charge of security and visas, instead of throwing it out to the media. As is, it looks like standard fear mongering to play to his voting base. But hey, it hasn't hurt him yet, so I'm sure it will just keep working. 👍

The Food Thread
Trucking and transportation is a big thing in Sikh culture, so in California where you have a decent Sikh population, you get some pretty solid Indian food out near the truck stops.

Weirder, More random, More Interesting.
https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-49555613 This was well said by Tom Hanks. I think it is a good practice to try and step back from our line of thinking once or twice a day and try to approach our thoughts differently. It's easy to fall into a rhythm of cynicism.

Politics: The Undiscovered Country
The Roman Catholic church is the only one that doesn't allow priests to marry, so Captain still has plenty of options. Also you can be a deacon, which is a step below but still performs many priestly functions.

Phoenix Point, the next game from X-COM creator Julian Gollop, now on Fig
I do my best to ignore any kind of release dates they put on these projects. I'll wait as long as it takes to make the game decent.

What are you playing RIGHT NOW?
I've been enjoying Classic Wow with some old friends. The slow leveling really gives you a chance to enjoy the world building Blizzard did in each zone. I've also gotten deep into the first Avernum game. My party has gotten pretty powerful and I've been enjoying the storyline. I think I owned this game for about 8 years without ever getting into it, and now I'm hooked.

☆ The Dream Thread ☆
Oh man, I regularly have dreams where I find new rooms in my house. I'm always like, hey, this is a great new space, how did I not notice it? Then I wake up and I have to figure out if that space really does exist in some way. Sometimes it actually helps, because it makes me realize I can reorganize an area and free up more space. But typically it just reminds me that having a wife, two kids, a mother-in-law, and a dog make for a crowded house.

I stalled out on Wu Assassins and need to try and push through. It's kind of textbook kung fu, terrible acting with good fighting. Chappelle's LGBTQ car ride was spot on.- Politics: The Undiscovered Country
You are soooo bad at math.- Wow classic
I barely touch the dungeons and have never raided. I wonder what percentage of classic players are like me?- TV and Streaming: The Thread
It only has 5 reviews from fairly mediocre sources at this point. I watched it, or rather watched 30 minutes of it. For some reason that is my limit for standup comedy specials. I think I've watched 30 minutes of a dozen Netflix comedy specials and never gone back to finish.- Wow classic
I've been jumping around on a few characters. The starting areas are very lively, and that is a welcome change from the ghost town speed levelling moat mmo's are today. My dwarf hunter is currently the most fun to play, should have named him Volourn.- Pictures of your games 12
That's why it's so important to take care of your knees when you are young.- Wow classic
I can't imagine they won't release content over time. I mean, it's great right now, but once you get a bunch of people at the level cap, you'd think they would have no choice.- Wow classic
The pop culture references in Classic WoW are now just cultural references. They are too old to be considered popular. It's like when all the music from the 90's I grew up listening to started showing up on Classic Rock stations.- Politics: The Undiscovered Country
It's probably just a self defense mechanism we've all built, since we get our share of people using alt accounts and people possibly being paid by the Russians. I mean, I haven't seen you and Bruce in the same room at the same time, so there is always the chance...- Politics: The Undiscovered Country
It will get suitably inundated by strange new people on release date, and clear out after about a month. Some of us have been here since the dawn of time.- Wow classic
I am pretty sure the game is free with the subscription.- Wow classic
I recommend you do some cooking, too. Do some fishing, visit the cheese shops, just wander around and explore the world. It is well-crafted and I think that gets lost as everything gets bigger and faster. - TV and Streaming: The Thread
