"Expelling the Jews" is a mechanic in Crusader Kings 2. And it gets abused like it did historically, too- borrow a shitload of money and then expel the Jews. Suddenly you found free money.

Eh. Well, opinions.

I thought so too after that first trailer, looked really rough. The combat looked absolutely terrible.

They released another trailer awhile ago that seemed drastically improved so I'm moderately interested in the game. I'm not on the edge of my seat and preordering or anything, but I'll look into it when it releases.

Yeah, I always viewed it as more of a city builder except on Mars. More akin to Cities Skylines than Rimworld. I haven't played it to be clear, but that's why- I liked Rimworld, but do not particularly enjoy city builders.

This footage was most likely produced with cartridges that have just enough gun powder to cycle the gun’s action.

Frankly, it's probably not even that much. They probably used a bolt action and really light powder loads. I'd say maybe it's a .22 but the dents look big for that.

Edit: Someone else posted this a JerryRigEverything video- it apparently stops .22 and 9mm. I'm pretty surprised.

That it's standard- and for most stories I'd say expected and perhaps even necessary- doesn't change that it's awful in this context.

This man is crowdsourcing a psy op.

Replica gives it entirely too much credit. It was probably made in China last year out of stainless steel.

The two brothers lived with their mother, Elinor Markgraf, a former humor columnist for The Oregonian. She declined to comment.

That they even asked for a comment is fuckin awful, imo.

Two major kinds of DnD puzzles:

The sort of thing in the image. Dummy simple, party still somehow gets it entirely wrong because the DM offhandedly mentioned a goose 30 minutes ago which was definitely a hint.

An insanely complex puzzle that the players are realistically not going to be able to solve, so the DM is just going to let them try shit for a half hour until he finally says, "yeah that works."

And then there's a mythical third kind where it's actually a good puzzle. idk I don't think they're real.

Brighter Shores is interesting, but I think it was too early to really grab me. I think it just needs more time to cook.

Parry and riposte mechanics make me happy. Idk why exactly, but something about timing a parry and making the enemy entirely helpless for the followup is just great.

Yeah sounds about right.

Some of the idle clicker games are fun as a little timewaster I spend two minutes a day on, but they're exclusively mobile games for me. I have a billion better options if I'm actually at my computer.

Old School Runescape players: "How much does that cost again?"

Meh, I could see it if Microsoft is willing to basically just give Obsidian the IP for a game. Bethesda realistically wouldn't really have a say in that I don't think.

This is the first I've heard of this- did Veilguard do badly? I thought it was reasonably popular.

... fuck that's actually convincing.

lmao yeah I had to get used to it myself.

The 'the french are cowards that suck at war' stereotype is kinda tired by now.
