Old World is a great take on Civilization-style 4X games. The addition of family management a la Crusader Kings and limiting the scope to the classical age makes for a new but accessible experience, especially with the win conditions being far more geared towards diplomacy and away from warfare.

What a bizarre idea, that someone in a leadership position shouldn't lead. I can't think of any great electeds that took the "just swim with the current" path.

My grandma was the first generation born in the US, a daughter of Italian immigrants. Her acerbic wit always cracked me up, but it was easier to find funny since I don't recall being on the receiving end. I feel fortunate that all of my kids got to meet her.

Tell one little joke about RFK Jr. and Facebook goes bananas with profile restrictions.

I'm increasingly convinced that this admin is fully cooked because all of the normies are united in hating this stuff.

Plot twist, the bear cub he dumped was actually cocaine bear who had died after an overdose.

Many people forget (or didn't know) that Square did PC releases of Final Fantasy VII and VIII contemporaneous with the PlayStation ones. Yes, back in 1998 and 2000.

Casseroles have an undeserved bad rap thanks to the proliferation of canned/frozen ingredients for everything, especially cream of whatever soups. If you bother to put the effort into better ingredients, they're a great way to use up leftovers.

He's not wrong. Laws don't have time to settle and be observed for efficacy before they are changed again. This kind of chaos kills companies, and it can certainly kill states. #utpol

The baby bust is hitting school districts left and right. This is going to be a growing problem for #uted over the next decade. #utpol

I'm old enough to remember that Steve Gibson has never once brought up the problems with Ring on Security Now because they have been a very very VERY heavy sponsor, and that should tell you what you need to know about him, his show, and the entire TWiT network.

Hot take: the greater your share of play time spent in conversations, the more of an RPG it is.

I told a naturalized citizen recently that if ICE comes, I will stand in the way any way I can. All of the above for me. "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."

Stop being mad at Discord for following the law. Start being mad at the people who made the law. Shouting at the wrong people doesn't fix the problem.

Time to roll the clip again.

I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself! bluesky-map.theo.io I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

“We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men... If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.”

Quite a thing to aspire to lose a $1.3B defamation suit, but I guess everyone dreams a little differently.

When there's no such thing as a zero sugar version of Cactus Cooler, you roll your own.

I've noticed an uptick in sites that support using passkeys and will direct you to set them up. Not sure what's driving it, but I dig it.

I was always surprised that some people picked Caesar's Legion over the NCR. I'm less surprised these days. (PS, the NCR is the only real choice.) This is not actually about Fallout.

I seriously wonder if the #utgop realizes that not getting the signatures to ask the voters to repeal a law with a 70%+ approval rating is a blessing in disguise. #utpol

"I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth." Neutrality is Biblical heresey. Take a side.

Welcome the opportunity to mock them to their loser faces.

Started up Avowed last night. It's VERY Obsidian, but that's a good thing for me. So far it's very heavy on dialog, but the ARPG-style combat is also satisfying. Going to be interesting to see if the crafting/upgrade system has legs.

Deidre is sick of your shizz. #utpol

I'm sure there are explanations for this. I would guess that the large influx of post-pandemic move-ins is a not insignificant part of it. The kind of Republican that called their former home state "Commiefornia" is much more common than the right-of-center moderates that used to come here. #utpol

There have to be enough people willing to run for office after leaving the party, otherwise it's just flat-out abdication.

It's always a good day when you introduce someone to the buffalo sentence.

Shoutout to (gestures everywhere) for making me the most connected to my Christian faith that I’ve ever been in my life Not me posting Bible verses

A radical integrationist when being an abolitionist was considered extreme, he also campaigned on prison abolition.

Nothing beats turkey lifters for getting a chuck roast out of the slow cooker.

Wild twist that they hate socialism so much that they'll implement communism instead.

Reminder that he said "heck yes I'm pro-Black Lives Matter" and that was about the time when a lot of his fellow travelers started to hate him. As much as the dude is a grade A dingus, he's consistent and sincere.

It is over when every single person responsible is in prison.

Vibing to K.K. Slider. #ACNH

It's been many years since Iron County's efforts to siphon water from the west got priced at $350M, and I would not be shocked if the price doubles and the actual water yield halves. You're talking water bills going up $50-100/mo without increased usage. #utpol

I'm going to sound like an absolute crank when I say that it's clear that Epstein used 4chan to create the political movement that put Trump in power to protect him and his rich friends which includes basically the entire world elite from criminal consequences for their pedo cult.

Anyone who would create and cultivate a place like 4chan is already a bottom feeder, but dang.

TBH, reading that the Shield has full unqualified support from the very top at Nvidia is pleasantly surprising. It's not often that a tech company will keep a skunkworks division around, even if profitable. arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026...

The process of transferring an ACNH island is so obtuse and painful that you have to wonder if the devs at Nintendo ever once considered that cloud saves were a thing.

We need a full ban on the phrase "in/for the books".

Before you give John an ounce of credit, consider that he's doing what he always does and seeing which way the wind is blowing. Consummate pollitician. #utpol
