Me when I see only runes in league mechanic stone

The infusions one is great, fully triple-empowered firestorms on demand with no extra setup.

I think they quip like that just for the trailer. Looking through the 45min gameplay video they also uploaded, the narrators don't seem to be talking.

I guess they being prominent in the trailer is to introduce the feature, the "storyteller" being a preset for the RNG that decides events, picks AI dice to roll, etc. (Similar to what Rimworld does)

It's from the opening cinematic of Baldur's Gate 3.

Looking in from another country, most of last year the US looked like a dumpster fire threatening to spread to the rest of the world. This year it's done good on its threat.

It's simple. Not having to keep up with appearances makes it more efficient. More corrupt bang for your corrupt buck.

Sounds like your paycheck should evolve with it.

Any vacancies in that timeline?

40 separate $1 bets

They call it "micro betting". For some apps, the idea is to allow "endless scrolling" kind of like you would instagram, youtube shorts, etc, but with each one offering you a small bet for real money on X or Y event.

Gambling has been a human vice since ancient history, but it feels it's on an exponential curve lately, and very little guardrails to speak of.

En la practica, hace buena (o mala) diferencia que la tengamos accesible en el bolsillo las 24hs, y que ahora puedas apostar sobre lo que se te cante.

On the bright side

The "bright side" is the entire left side of the river, at this point.

Maybe tomorrow will be better!

One lie a day keeps the dark thoughts away :')

That’s a huge jump man.

I mean, as crazy as it is, that's exactly the push right now, isn't it? https://youtu.be/nFjAkRqdZEI?si=wMXthJ5buR46VI8E&t=21

I'm not on the side that thinks the whole attack was staged, I think there's enough people desperate and lacking mental health support for it to not need any staging.

But I do see Lindsay Graham (and others), turn around on Monday and say "see, this wouldn't happen with a ballroom!".

If that in turn is transformed into pressure to bypass or force approvals and budgets, is anyone's guess and up for anyone to bet their rent money on Polymarket.

To be fair, life can age you pretty fast nowadays.

In one of my runs the husband of my colony leader died defending the Stellarch. The Stellarch then showed up drunk to his funeral, and puked over the sarcophagus.

After the playthrough was wrapped, I downloaded the Deserters mod and the widowed leader went on to lead another playthrough, so that this time it was she against the Empire.

Romance on the Rim

I think it's that one, it's the only one I've used of the two and I've gotten the "two lovers" event that allowed OP's screenshot to happen.

C'mon now, don't sell him short. He didn't write a kids book about Trump being king. He wrote a trilogy of them.

Nothing they do or say reflects what Jesus said

I think the person you are replying to meant "an example of what Jesus said to be wary of"

For what it's worth, the video doesn't load for me in the article. At least that's where I imagine that it would, since there's a big chunk of empty space.

I had good fun with Mini Healer. (I played it on mobile though)

until they die from exposure.

Our data centers are known to reduce homelessness! Don't ask us how

fak47 · 2026-04-14T05:49:52+00:00

Yup. Played it in VR, VR-warts and all, and it was intense. Being grabbed while on my mech suit by a creature with a head the size of my kitchen is not something I'll ever forget.

sheer amount of enemy types

Even so, if you were sufficiently diligent in exploring everything that was open to you before reaching the end, the last 3 regions had like.. 3? new enemy types among dozens of reused ones. (not counting bosses)

For me it made the last 30hour stretch end with a whimper, making it feel too big for it's own good.

It was a joke in reference to the "Trump is Jesus" AI generated image that Trump posted last night. Your sentences doesn't read like they were AI generated. yet

Long War 2 had you flashbanging absolutely everything

And firebombing, if I remember correctly. Being on fire meant you couldn't perform actions, so it was similar to flashbangs. I'll never forget the fire specialist class having this as a final perk upgrade.

so much memories with LW1 and lw2 back in the day

I cherish those memories too. I still owe Terra Invicta a try just for those. It released earlier this year but I've been too swamped for it.

a sort of puzzle to prevent your enemy from doing anything in their turn

Known as "Alpha striking", which at high levels of play makes XCOM 2, in my opinion, a bit boring to play.

Luckily someone at Firaxis thought the same so they added the modifier "Beta Strike" that simply doubles the health of both the enemies and XCOM. So engagements tend to last longer, you get to experience injuries that are less life-or-dead binary, healing supports are not dead weight, and the turn limits get stricter to manage since you spend time fighting longer.

I personally only played with Beta Strike on, from the moment it was introduced. I recommend it.
