After years of yelling that the “Russia hoax” was a witch hunt, Trump is now openly colluding with Vladimir Putin in both narrative and action.

Democracies stand with Ukraine.

Today was a grim, terrible day for the United States and the cause of democracy. Putin, along with other dictators around the world, can finally look at Trump with confidence and think: one of us. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Check out the upcoming plans for Civ VII...

Very glad to see @nellraban.com featured today on Rappler Gaming to discuss her experiences and contributions to the latest installment of Sid Meier's Civilization! I'm a dyed in the wool series fan so when I learned she was on the dev team, I was very excited to suggest our editor talk to her.

I posted pix here two weeks ago about our trip to Oklahoma to visit with the Shawnee. Today's video does a great job explaining what that was all about youtu.be/l17v2Y8ZKFM?...

Here I Stand rule, Human vs Machine test. Human on BGG who answered got the rule correct: "The very earliest you can ever ask for a divorce is diplomacy of Turn 3, since you can't play the home card to advance the marker to the "Ask for Divorce" box on the track until Turn 2.” Google AI, wrong!

Looking forward to seeing how this goes. Enjoy!

Final post on Firaxis' partnership with the Shawnee. Here is our voice actor, Dylan, who played Tecumseh for Civilization VII. First in the studio reciting Shawnee winter poetry. Then with our Art Director Jason Johnson who brought him a life-sized Tecumseh print.

More on Firaxis' partnership with the Shawnee. Here are the three Firaxians posing in front of the studio, first with George Blanchard, one of the remaining fluent Shawnee speakers. The new studio is named in his honor. And then again with Chief Barnes. With @dennisofthenorth.bsky.social

Actually had something cool and positive happen this week. So let me share that since we could all use some good news. kfor.com/news/oklahom...

Protestant Reformation trivia quiz for today. Which major figure of the Protestant Reformation is buried under a parking spot number 23?

A happy morning in Baltimore today...

So impressive. Could watch this all day.

When you take a picture of a living history actor playing the Marquis de Lafayette knowing he is going to be revealed as a Civ VII leader much later (44 months in this case) youtu.be/_j1RFQzRWCM?...

A great article highlighting the contributions from our team historians.

i’m so lucky and honored to have done the voiceover writing for civ vii’s opening cinematic — hard to top working with gwendolyn christie!! youtu.be/gV0waX2uPLg?...

Thrilled that the Civ 7 opening cinematic is out now! This team has been working so hard for so long, and I'm thrilled that their efforts will finally see the light of day very soon. I'm proud to support the teams here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gV0w...

CIV VII ORCHESTRA i teared up lmfaoooo

I expect like everyone else to be largely disappointed by The Game Awards tonight BUT I am nevertheless still really excited for Christopher Tin debuting a live orchestral version of our Civ VII theme.

Definitely fun to get to talk about our new Civ game at a significant historical site like Fort McHenry. And that was the day before I found out how well it did in the "most anticipated" rankings. youtu.be/I5IFbAmsGGQ?...

Excited to announce our talk “Built in Layers: (Re)Creating History with the Narrative System in Civilization VII” at the Narrative Summit at GDC! Looking forward to diving into the workings of our narrative system with some brilliant people ✨

Dev diary day! I’m excited to finally share this look into Civ VII’s new emergent narrative system.
