    UK politics thread – meet the new boss, same as the old boss

    Jesus. I knew about the gas crisis, but it never registered how utterly barren store shelves are becoming over there. Stay safe and stay well.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Strom Thurmond's tainted, damned soul inhabited McConnell's soulless body.

    Activision-Blizzard Thread: Just announced the Layoffs of 1900 jobs.

    I said for years only WoW would kill WoW. Warlords of Draenor drew the blade. Battle for Azeroth saw it dragged across its throat. Shadowlands is just a bleeding out. Even without all the business-side nonsense, WoW would be failing significantly. Like Cradok said, after Pandaria everything...

    Yeah, Trump hates Mitch mostly because until he himself, when McConnell speaks important people listen. He wields a power Trump only wishes he could command.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Pence was smart enough to realize the minute Trump had secured absolute power, he was surplus to requirements. This was less Pence not having the balls to pull to the trigger and more that if he did, he'd be replaced by Ivanka before the week was out. Only reason this didn't work was because...

    Activision-Blizzard Thread: Just announced the Layoffs of 1900 jobs.

    Yeah, except the lawsuit demonstrates this behavior went back decades. Before the merger. This is a corporate culture that permeated its very foundations. "Blaming everyone"...as a manager myself it 100% is a failing of those in leadership. You foster the enviornment, or even not press to change...

    Activision-Blizzard Thread: Just announced the Layoffs of 1900 jobs.

    Dude, a woman is dead because of the behavior of this company. Also, no one in previous management is even actively denying it. The only one to actually be vehemently denying the accusations at Activision-Blizzard is, interestingly enough, the same Bush Administration official who saw no...

    Doesn't matter. The fact he was there during the time period means he was aware and probably up to his eyeballs involved in it. There's no one in a leadership position of the company that isn't complicit.

    The Miniature Wargame/Board Game Thread

    So GenCon just revealed a upcoming Black Templar "army box" (13 miniatures. 12 new sculpts + a Dreadnought for flavor), which has the community abuzz because thus far a major leak from earlier in the year is playing out beat for beat. What this potentially means for the future: A Custodes vs...

    Doesn't Tencent already have their foot in the door with the hot *Checks notes* 2018 killer app Diablo "Don't you people have phones?" Immortal?

    Activision-Blizzard Thread: Just announced the Layoffs of 1900 jobs.

    It'll be a cold, cold day in hell before I ever give Activision-Blizzard another penny. I've been wanting to do another run through of StarCraft 2 right before all this dropped. Despite owning the games, I'll be damned if I even give Blizzard the download metric data. So now those games live on...

    The Miniature Wargame/Board Game Thread

    So I pulled the trigger on the Knight-Judicator with Gryph Hounds model despite not playing Stormcast or having any real interest in playing Stormcast. (Okay so I might have side eyed the Stormcast Vanguard Start Collecting box a time or two) Mostly because the model, while in my care, will...

    Activision-Blizzard Thread: Just announced the Layoffs of 1900 jobs.

    Honestly, Blizzard's been dead since the Blitzchung incident back in 2019 but I wasn't able to completely divorce myself from their properties until this current scandal hit. A pox, a pox upon its entire house. This isn't just a "Since the merger with Activision thing", this isn't new. This was...

    The Miniature Wargame/Board Game Thread

    Is it just me, or does this new batch of McFarlane figures have some pretty crappy overall paint jobs compared to the last batch? The Ultramarines logo being off-center on the Reiver knee especially bugs me.

    Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake

    It's not about being negative, it's about being realistic. Lucasfilm Games is a liscensor of the brand. Since 2013 it's only had 10 people as part of it. They don't develop anything any more, they just pass out the license and make sure what's being made fits the desired tone of the brand...

    Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake

    It's just targeted nostalgia. A remade KOTOR isn't going to fundamentally change anything about the story or add anything we don't already know or can't experience.

    Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake

    What other big name title does the Playstation 5 have? Also, while every studio has to start somewhere, Aspyr's been in the game since 2003. They've only done ports since 2003. Going from port work to a full on remaster of a beloved classic is...quite the step up. And something that routinely...

    Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake

    Temper the enthusiasm. Notice which company's name isn't on the list of the teaser? Bioware. Notice which company's name is on the list? Aspyr. What games have Aspyr made? Literally just ports of games to other operating systems, primarily mobile platforms. What does this mean? It means don't...
