WTF happened to Xbox? Where are the REAL exclusives? "Console" and "timed" aka FAKE exclusives are NOT enough.
Enough people lack a decent gaming PC for Xbone to still be a decent seller.

The Food Thread
I've spent my life using Bisquick for waffles and pancakes. Today we didn't have enough mix, so I decided to make waffles from scratch. I had no vanilla extract, so I subbed in some brown sugar and cinnamon to add sweetness. It came out amazing. I can't believe I went so long without making it from scratch, it was super easy.

What are you playing right now?
Star Traders is great and a lot more stable than Pathfinder, but they don't compare much in terms of gameplay.

Baldur's Gate 3?
It could also just be a game about the city. But don't stop with the canon guys, I am learning a lot.

RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS - CON SEASON
Huh, had no idea Amazon was developing games. Well I'd love to see a decent MMO after so many years, but the survival/pvp aspect seems less interesting to me.

My favorite AssCreed was the one set in Constantinople. I felt like I had stepped into history.

What did you do today?
Today I did a big climb. 3500 feet over about an 8 mile stretch. It was ridiculous. I kept turning the corner thinking this must be it, I must be at the top, but then it would keep climbing. I got to the top and the guy who was leading said, alright, let's get back down before our legs get cold. What the hell. Overall I did a good 50 mile ride, but that one stretch of climbing was just a killer. I did hit 44 miles per hour on the way down, so that was cool. There were also a lot of tarantulas and deer on the road. Again, it was ridiculous.

Why do you feel the need to tear stuff down? It comes across as very negative. I'm excited about a new Hellboy as well, but I didn't like your post because of the negativity.

What are you playing right now?
You could try the new adult games on Steam. Nothing but happy endings there. Gross and hilarious. For Tale, I've played through the first Banner Saga twice, so I'd recommend it. Fenix explained it perfectly. There are some interesting choices to make that have consequences throughout the trilogy, so I like that aspect. I actually think the turn based combat is a bit flawed (how the turns are handled) but I still tend to enjoy it. My favorite storyline is the Rook/Allette one, so make sure you play long enough to get to know them a bit.

The Political Thread - Machiavelli Edition
Yeah, that's what sticks with me. This job interview has gone terrible but they seem pretty dead set on giving him the job. Come on hurlie, didn't you repeatedly say you loved beer and start crying when you got interviewed to be a teacher? You jest, but my beer podcast would probably get ripped to shreds if I was up for a high profile job.

XCOM 2
That music is perfect. Not sure if it is enough to get me to do a 3rd playthrough yet.

What are you playing right now?
I need more happy games. I've been playing The Long Dark and it is pretty dreary, and then I did a run through the Banner Saga everything is hopeless. Star Control makes me smile, so I'll probably stick with that for a bit.

It's because he is a better actor. Although it seems like it would be a lot healthier to just act fat.

I would definitely recommend a controller for any Assassin's Creed games. They are all pretty good at the exploring a historical period aspect of gaming so hopefully you enjoy that.

What did you do today?
I'd imagine there would still be plenty of options for hobbyists and enthusiasts. I mean, you don't get to take horse on the freeways and it is rare for them to be used in busy city centers, but there are still plenty of places to ride them.

Pathfinder Kingmaker is bigger then Deadfire
It seems weird to me that everyone wants to pit POE and Pathfinder against each other. There is plenty of room for both to succeed, and it makes for a richer genre. Just enjoy both.

What did you do today?
You wouldn't be driving, and the truck would likely communicate with the cars around it as it switched lanes.
-
What did you do today?
People will never pay attention in traffic though. If all cars are self driving, then the odds of something unexpected happening go down significantly. Auto-driving systems can be improved while human attention spans just seem to be getting worse.

Play Ball! The 2018 Baseball Thread
Class act by the Twins letting Joe Mauer, another class act, catch in possibly his final game. Look forward to seeing him in the HoF.

What did you do today?
Yeah, self driving cars can't come soon enough. Don't worry Keyrock, your job is still safe. Someone still needs to sit in front of the computer and tell it where to go. ;-)

The Weird, Random or Interesting Things That Fit Nowhere Else Thread
There is a lot more to it than that. I'll have to see if I can find my handy video on how the High School graduation path has changed over the last century.

Yeah, it isn't really the teachers pushing that agenda. Nobody listens to me when I talk about trade schools.

The Political Thread - Machiavelli Edition
Although the tone he struck seems terribly bizarre for a judge, someone who is supposed to be impartial and rational, it is what has worked for Trump in his Presidency. I guess it is the new normal.

The Political Thread - Machiavelli Edition
Yeah, I'm not a fan of comparing sexual assault to cheating on a test. Let's keep in mind that Gorsuch got in. It was still a bipartisan mess of a confirmation, but he was clean. As should anyone that is given a lifetime seat on our highest court. Again, you believe her or you don't. You can try and make it a more complicated issue of politics and grandstanding, but at the end of the day sexual assault is extremely serious and should be taken as so. I agree it sucks that every nomination gets destroyed by the process, but understand that Ford is also going to get destroyed by the process. Which is why I find her completely believable. She knows what this will lead to and is still willing to testify. This isn't some celebrity obsessed with the spotlight, this is a women with a family, a community and a career, and she is risking all of that to confront the man who assaulted her. She has my full sympathy and support.
