@bioware A symbol of what Bioware once was.

The Brewers offense just seems stinky right now.

@kazutoki Every Ace Combat game since 04 has been a treasured memory of my life. You and the team who built them are owed a debt we cannot properly express.

Someone who works on The Bear put a little Crimson Tide reference hidden in plain sight in the first episode of the new season and I felt like they did it just for me.

Anyway, just another example of how Assassin's Creed used to attempt to blend science fiction with real history and they just don't care anymore. Someone in a suit said "Put the tiktok song in the game, because tiktok" And it kills me.

Irritated Historian Sunday: I was all hyped to listen to the Assassin's Creed Black Flag Remake shanty collection, because to my delight Ubisoft brought back Sean Dagher and the rest of the crew from the 2013 game to record new songs. And then I see it:
The Wellerman.

[Ben Pascoe @Badger8th]

This song was famously EXCLUDED from the original game in 2013 because it's wildly anachronistic, it's older than the events of the game by a full 150+ years. It's equivalent to putting a Kendrick Lamar song in a game about the Franco-Prussian war and saying it's of the period.

Timekeeping in soccer is completely arbitrary and I hate it so much.

Really fun episode this week. My character finally got to uncover the first hint of backstory!

@Peter_Bukowski Why is everyone acting like Haslam is the only owner? Edens is still the chair and there are 2 other majority principals.

I'm very, very glad I pulled the trigger on those ECF tickets back in 2021. Giannis will always be an all-time Wisconsin sports legend.

@ZachHeilprin I'd just as soon never see him play in this state again.

@PaulTassi He played a Welsh terrorist on Archer and it was magnificent

Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader is an incredible RPG, and I finally got around to finishing it today. Took several restarted playthroughs before I finally found a build that I loved and felt comfortable with the combat system, but this was an incredible game.

@MusialaEra Every goddamn world cup I have to watch the US play in stupid ass time windows. It's our turn. Cope.

[Ben Pascoe @Badger8th]

@GenePark The new ship bridges and habs are excellent. I was able to make a no mod design with zero stupid ladders

Our latest episode is up, and we had some fun RP moments in the city in this one.

It took a couple of weekends of work but I've finally uncoupled myself from OneDrive. 15+ years of accumulated files have been culled, and I'm now running on genuinely 100% self hosted cloud storage.

OK... take my money

New episode is up! We fought our first boss of the campaign. It was very tough.
