34 pages of patch notes for the new #civ7 test of time update, and we still found a few things not mentioned or not explained in detail! youtu.be/hEe7bnrGO0c?...

The new Test of Time patch has totally changed victory conditions in #civ7 so I made a guide detailing how you can win your next game! Civ 7 Test of Time Patch Guide: NEW Victory Conditions Explained youtu.be/SEeVGjw0yFw

New video just posted! In it I argue the best part of civs and leaders being separated in #civ7 is being able to roleplay as the more mythical Alexander of the Shahnameh: youtu.be/8OmWw8tguNs?...

youtu.be/pvcYm6dKKHI?... Such a brilliant set of episodes!!! I’ve been in overlapping Egyptian history and civ7 holes recently and this is such a gift. Thank you @paisley-trees.bsky.social I have been just chewing through your vids!!!

Can any #egyptologist help me identify this figure? The ROM says it is Thutmose III, but the cartouche fragment at the top right looks more like the one used by Hatshepsut, and I've seen the very same relief identified as her! #egypt

Doing my job on a Saturday morning ☕️ thank you baba yetu 🎶

The amount of Western people you can find telling Iranians to not feel any possible emotion they might be having right now, yes they can be devastated, happy, angry, sad, furious, terrified - they have a right to all these and more: their oppressor seems murdered by the hands of their oppressors.

For months my bluesky feed has been silent on the killing of children, civilians, and protestors in Iran… and now all of a sudden it’s full of lamentations. Iranians have been mourning children for weeks now, ask yourself why you suddenly feel the need to post. I don’t want these kinds of allies.

Our newest post is a deep historical dive into the Mughals! I especially enjoyed going through all the manuscript paintings to find ones I thought would match the narrative the closest. Thank you to @civilization.2k.com for supporting this video youtu.be/Kofm2qcTg54

I had a great time being interviewed on history in #Civ7 by @paisley-trees.bsky.social . Here's the link: youtu.be/NSP0tecE0kE?...

You're BREATHTAKING!! $7,555 raised on this #civ7 channel for @gamersoutreach.org ‬ to provide video games to kids in children's hospitals. That's $24,110.69 for #CivGive2025 as a team of talented creators. I couldn't be more proud of your kindness and generosity! #Nerds4Kids

My toddler just basically said “I’ll have a pizza with raw onions and basil, hold the pizza” 😭

** #CivGive2025 is THIS Sunday, December 14th! ** Join us for 8+ hours of Civ VII multiplayer with some of your favorite @civilization.2k.com creators as we raise funds for @gamersoutreach.org, including special developer & historian guests from @firaxisgames.bsky.social!!

I’m so excited to meet with Dr Johnson again, and discuss our passion for public facing history and video games! Make sure you tune in to the #civgive and let me know if you’ve got questions you’d like me to ask during our discussion!

Each year, the #CivGame streamer community puts on a livestream for charity. As in the last few years, they've invited me to make a guest appearance and talk about history and gaming! The show will be on Sunday Dec 14, and will start at 10 EST. www.youtube.com/@TheCivShow

Our #civ7 themed bookclub continues this month with Kintu by Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi. While not directly quoted in the game, this book weaves in the history of Buganda (modern age civ in the game) and experiments with different traditions of storytelling. We’ll be meeting to discuss in 6 weeks!

Quick reminder: tomorrow night on stream we will be discussing Jose Rizal’s novel “Noli Me Tangere”. No worries if you didn’t get a chance to finish the book, we’ll be giving a summary and all are welcome to join our book club discussion or just listen and learn!

Sorry Italians! Persians invented pizza, and ketchup on your slice is now canon.

Firaxis layoffs suck big time. This is an absurd business practice to have teams let go after a big release just to squeeze every penny of profit.

I’m so gen z I just asked myself how do I mail something 😅

Once again I start the academic year chasing down my health insurance company trying to figure out why something is wrong! 3rd year in a row, but each time a completely new problem 🙃

1k followers hit on twitch! Thank you all so much 🎉 can’t wait for the camel wars

Oh god my toddler just yelled hashtag tetas…. Thanks so much paco amoroso 😭

For some reason it bothers me more as a female streamer when men try to dismiss my insane civ skills and diminish my accomplishments… than someone asking to lick my feet 😅

Loved making this mod, and I am already deeply invested in adding some interesting events for each Tycoon for a 2.0 update. The structure of civ uniques in Civ VII just allows infusing them with so much flavor, one of my favorite parts of the game. old.reddit.com/r/civ/commen...

Uhoh my daughter now says “oh hi mark” whenever she opens a door 😅

Our #civ7 bookclub continues this month with Noli Me Tánge by José Rizal, one of the leaders in the game! We’re aiming to meet mid-September, so join discord for more info: discord.gg/QAC2YeyZY7

Omg just found out my union got us decent dental plan! Lisa needs braces…

Moved out of Connecticut today and ordering some pizza… IMMEDIATELY missing clam pizza 😭

My mom told me today my cousin is in a gang but she meant BAND 😭

Done the book just in time for our discussion tonight but I’m literally losing my mind and feel physically ill after reading the final third…

YouTube studio always shows you unresponded comments every time you open the app, so I decided to respond to hate comments and leave the compliments unanswered so I get an ego boost every time I check my analytics 😂

one of the many reasons I love my husband: he thinks regular historical facts are actually fun facts XD

3k subs!! Thank you everyone for helping build this community 🥹

“Because you’ve shown interest in this community” 😭 my Reddit algo is ruined forever

Just found out I’m eating expired Nutella??

The next book we’ve chosen for our #civ7 book club comes from the quote for social question: “The memory of having sat at someone’s feet will later make you want to trample him underfoot.” - NATSUME SŌSEKI We’ll be meeting in the third week of July on stream! Exact date TBA

Happy Father’s Day to the best Baba in the world!

Why am I still awake 🥲 I slept 4 hours yesterday…

I thought I was a New York baddie but turns out I’m just a connecticu*t 😍

I honestly cannot relate to all the student bashing this semester… my students were amazing and I’m in tears reading their beautiful assignments about their homes. I’m so proud of them 🥹

Congrats to Dr. Baba 🎓

Why don't Americans understand me when I say I'm marking 😭

The pure jealousy I feel as an insomniac watching my husband fall asleep in 2 minutes after being accidentally woken up 👿

“You asked me once if I remembered Battersea. And now I do.” This quote as narrated by Gwendoline Christie was so capturing that we paused our #civ7 game to find out more. And now, we’ve officially started a BOOK CLUB!! Join on discord to learn more: discord.gg/M6mZquU98Q

For Mother’s Day I got the gift of having the opportunity to give my daughter the gift of a scooter 😂 happy Mother’s Day to my baby (who I call maman anyways)

When you want to post your wins but too scared of the evil eye 🧿😅

Walked around the city today, and I was just totally mesmerized by the way the green foliage contrasts with the red brick buildings. 🌳🧱

Growing up means learning rinse and repeat was NOT a shampoo company scam

Congrats to Dr.O’Barr, aka Dr. Baba, for finishing his PhD! @erikcharlemagne.bsky.social
