    I started Dishonored: Death of the Outsider and there's a story thing I'm confused by.
    In Dishonored 2, Meagan Foster is missing her right arm below the elbow, but when you play as her in DotO she has both arms (though the Outsider does turn her right arm into a skeleton arm after the first mission).

    At first I thought it must be set before 2, but then I found a newspaper mentioning Emily having retaken the throne from Delilah, so it clearly must be set after 2.

    Does this get explained?
    Yes, time travel. There’s a mission in 2 where you can change the events that caused her to lose an arm.

    There must be some way to harness that weird magic.

    When someone puts out their female protagonist QUILTBAG anti-capitalist dating sim and the goorbies start churning their rage, the creators of the game should get a free pass to say "Nope! There's nothing political here!"

    We know there's a political stance. But the gloopuns clearly wont know what to do and may end up even purchasing the game.

    This is our mission, Chico, to take hold of the gromblers' collective purchasing power and fuel the next wave of enthusiastically inclusive gaming.

    We cannot rest until the glip-glorps have shifted their unified consciousness until they are all frothing at the mouth to get married to a varied and comprehensive selection of non-heteronormative pigeon lifeguards.

    We have to make them want to fuck pigeons.

    I've weighed "that's the joke" vs the potential delight you'd have if this wasn't what you were already referencing, and so.
    You know that's already a thing right?

    Huh. I completely missed her in the time travel mission.

    Not to defend Walmart, but in the interest of accuracy, that picture is a couple years old and wasn't entirely proven to be authentic.

    With that said, Walmart has committed to the continuing sale of firearms when faced with inquiries following the recent shootings, and continues to be a trash corporation run by absolute scumbags.

    She's not in it, but in the story she loses her eye and arm in a fight with the Grand Guard when she goes to Stilton's manor to investigate what happens to him after the ritual. If you knock him out in the past and prevent him from ever taking part in it, she never has a reason to go and thus never loses her eye and arm.

    I mean, it's a short-term thing in two states only, in reaction to the shootings. It's easier to take down demo stations and movie posters than cart away actual "merchandise". It's shitty, but still.

    From the G&T thread the next Total War Saga game is named Troy.

    Saga games are smaller scale Total War games that focus on a specific point in history. The last one was Thrones of Britannia which is set in the British Isles starting at 878 AD.

    Hopefully they'll use the Three Kingdoms engine as Thrones of Britannia suffered for using the older Atilla engine.

    Man, next week's free games on the Epic store are Hyper Light Drifter and Mutant: Year Zero.

    It's kind of interesting watching the industry basically get a chance to cash in on all that Fortnite money.

    I think it was this thread, there was a video of someone playing like a speed city builder game, where it was like an 8x8? tileset and you sorta got new buildings as you went. Each building would +/- nearby tiles towards a score at the top of each row. and as you completed the map it would replace and you'd start again but with your new unlocks?

    Is that out ? and what was the name of it?

    my CK2 monthy income seems highly variable and afaict I'm not doing anything that should change it. I've found a few different menus that break it down, but none of them seem comprehensive. Where should I be looking?

    Are you someone's vassal? They might be raising your levees without you noticing. If you aren't it's probably a combination of province modifiers changing, vassals changing their opinion of you, or raiding. Your income tends to stay more stable if it comes mostly from your own holdings, and more variable if it's mostly taxes from vassals.

    hm. I do have a vassal in charge of the Bishopric in the province. Maybe he's doing something wacky. I'll have to check tomorrow.

    update: yeah, it looks like the Bishop has decided to pay the Pope instead of me. I'll have to do something about that. ...

    Super-hard rhythm platformer Electronic Super Joy just got a free surprise sequel on Steam today: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1113940/Electronic_Super_Joy_2/

    Music based platformer with intense visuals and a really good soundtrack. The game is free, but the Gold Edition, for $13, gets you 3 additional levels and an extra boss battle along with new abilities, the game's soundtracks, and behind the scenes content.

    I know the chess term, but idgi here

    anyway I'm pretty irritated.

    I spent months swaying one bishop and then he dies, the next one hates me and wants to be on the council. So I look for the job he's best at, find the current dude, and give him a job as a mercenary captain. Which seemed like the better choice than just firing him.

    And just when I'm literally two points away from the new bishop actually paying me, the 'sway' mechanic decides to impose a 50 point penalty for 10 years out of nowhere.

    Now he's in seclusion, is at +98 with the Pope and I just ... argh.

    Sometimes the people you're carousing with become your best friends and you get a +80 with them or something.

    And then they'll happily help you murder people.
