  • You certainly can if you spend any decent amount of time in one game’s directory or stick to streamers in the couple thousand viewers at most. Basically niche games or being a regular to a small streamer mean you can make friends on the platform or at least recognize people.

    I’ve been on the platform since 2012ish and have been a part of some great communities there, I also enjoy the massive streams of day Lirik or Summit1G but those I watch if I’m not wanting to talk to others since the chat is 10000 mph







  • Female adeptes custodes not Space marines. Makes little difference in the large picture but it’s possible within the lore to have female custodians as they’re all humans picked at birth and genetically altered/enhanced individually to make the best soldier they could ever be. GW just didn’t mention females being in that order for 30 years apparently lol

    Space marines are all male though, have been explicitly stated as being all male repeatedly and even recently with lore backing of the some of the organ implants and genetic modification templates only work on males since they’re based off the primarchs who were all male as sons of the emperor of mankind.

    I’ll end with saying that GW has done great with inclusion in recent years, even explicitly telling Nazis to go find another hobby if they don’t like that GW is making warhammer and warhammer 40k for everyone, of all races, genders, and religions. They’ve always had racial representation and some manner of gender representation in the guard and eldar but now they’re expanding and I’m all for it. I have no issues with any of it so long as GW doesn’t just say ignore the last ~40 years of established lore and even recent lore issuances because we would like to sell more models.


  • Not just Nevada, any state that legalizes VLTs soon becomes plagued by VLTs (slots by any other name are still slots) put into every existing building. Gas stations, bars, strip clubs, convenience stores, etc, everyone gets slots/VLTs. Bonus is that any empty building gets purchased and filled with them since nothing but gambling survives despite the surroundings. Illinois is my main example here as my home state, I can’t spit without hitting a slot machine it’s ridiculous




  • Hopefully Ford’s massive investment into EV and battery factories in Kentucky will help Kentuckians appreciate electrical power for providing jobs just as easily as coal did.

    I see no reason every coal miner can’t become a solar/renewable installer and technician. There are fields of panels across the Midwest already, someone has to build and maintain those and it’s certainly safer than being underground




  • It’s hilarious that lotr:bfme2 is still the best lotr game to date and is pretty much kept alive by enthusiasts through piracy because EA stopped supporting it 15 years ago.

    There is still an active mod scene for it to this day, including one that is a massive graphics overhaul bringing a 20 year old game to near modern graphics
