  1. Fantasy Flight Games has announced big additions and a slate of new releases for miniatures games Star Wars: X-Wing Second Edition and Star Wars: Legion. Both are going to receive new units and factions from the Clone Wars era in 2019.
  2. As the mainstream moves onto pastures new, what does the future hold for this shadowy genre? The short answer is that the future is hugely exciting. For the longer answer, we need to go right back to where the immersive sim began.
  3. The remains of the oldest public library in Germany, a building erected almost two millennia ago that may have housed up to 20,000 scrolls, have been discovered in the middle of Cologne.
  4. While analyzing sediment under Lake Chichancanab on the Yucatan Peninsula, scientists found a 50 percent decrease in annual precipitation over more than 100 years, from 800 to 1,000 A.D. At times, the study shows, the decrease was as much as 70 percent.
  5. I'm genuinely looking forward to the economic analyses in the subsequent years that will document empirically our anecdotal feeling as to the reasons this counter-intuitive situation "theoretical" full employment/anemic wage growth is occurring.
  6. As @b_m_b_m_b_m said in the Discord server, Social Security IS the correct "mechanism" for paid paternal/maternal leave, but it needs to be PROPERLY FUNDED through TAXES. Which brings me back to my now standard mantra: ELIMINATE. THE. TAXABLE. SOCIAL. SECURITY. EARNINGS. CEILING.
  7. I exist in a universe where Donald Fucking Trump is the President of the United States of America, and yet somehow this manages to be the single stupidest idea I've heard in years.
  8. “The US Congress is focusing on Russian hackers when it is possible that all of the information they needed to get into the system came from the internal breach in the Secret Service,” the source said. OLOLOLOL
  9. A Hell of a Performance by Paul Manafort (Atlantic) He is sooooo getting a hung jury/mistrial.
  10. Zimbabwe's capital, Harare, is a ghost town as most people stay indoors ahead of the release of disputed presidential election results. Troops patrolled the city centre, ordering people to "behave". Six people were killed after Wednesday's clashes in the city between the security forces and supporters of opposition leader Nelson Chamisa. Police in Zimbabwe have launched a crackdown on opposition leaders, raiding their headquarters and accusing them of inciting violence during protests in the capital, Harare, that left six dead.
  11. When the stock price hit $207.05 earlier today, the company crossed the $1 trillion market capitalization threshold.
  12. All streaming networks are equal, but some streaming networks are more equal than others.
  13. Tyranny and Shadowrun haven't, but Divinity: Original Sin/Pillars of Eternity/Wasteland 2/Torment: Tides of Numenera were ported to consoles where they faded into obscurity. I have no idea how Dragon Age: Origins did on the consoles, but I think we can surmise based on how completely different Dragon Age II and Dragon Age: Inquisition were that EA felt it needed to radically change to suit that market.
