On behalf of Norway, we are sorry that so many of our footballers play in your fake country, you bigot.
What the fuck are you talking about?

Last post by Bauer - February 27, 2026, 09:42:26 PMPeople used to forecast a world where North America ruptured into regional countries. It doesn't seem as improbable to me now that it did back then... Oceania loading?

Alberta just doesn't make sense to me anymore and I'm getting increasingly concerned they're going to be the rupture in Canada like maga was in America.

Maybe nothing shockingly new to the languish crowd, but I found it interesting nonetheless.

Denmark is also looking to buy some new frigates. The same three groups are under consideration, with a German consortium (TKMS + NVL / Rheinmetal) being a fourth contender.

Gaming HQ / Re: The Miscellaneous PC & vid...
Last post by The Minsky Moment - February 27, 2026, 04:55:17 PMA lot of very interesting demos on this season's Steam Next Fest.
I'll try to get through a bunch over the weekend, but so far a few that have stood out include:
Replaced: Side scrolling platforming/fighting game, set in post-apocalyptic late 20th century America. Neither the theme nor the concept are particularly novel, but execution so far was solid, the art looks good and the story got me hooked.
Titanium Court: This one has been getting a lot of buzz, perhaps deserved. It's definitely weird. It's a strategy game of sorts, but the core seems to be a Match 3 game played out on map grid where you move around terrain tiles, using matches to gather resources but also trying to position your castle behind obstacles like rivers or hills. You get a certain number of moves and then have to defend against the other castles. If you survive there is a round of interacting with members of your court, where you try to figure out exactly who they are and what you are supposed to be doing.
Morg Borg Heresy Supreme Apparently Morg Borg is a real life table top RPG based on a Swedish death metal aesthetic. This is a computer implementation of that system into a side scrolling hack-and-slash fighting game. Art is interesting. I struggled a bit with the game play though. Could see this landing with the right audience.
Ardenfall Indie developed, Bethesda style open world RPG, seems to be attempting to channel the spirit of Morrowind with its exotic looking setting and scenery.
Scriptorium Master of Manuscripts: Casual game where you play a medieval artist. Win commissions to earn resources that allow you to purchase more sketch elements and pigments that you can mix.
Then there are remakes of two of my favorites from the 1990s:
Machiavelli: The Prince: This looks like a straight up remake of the Micropose 90s era trading game, complete with the old school graphics and UI. Similar in concept to the Patrician series. Worth it if you played and enjoyed the old game and miss it.
1492 - Colonization of the New World : This appears to be an effort to reboot or reimplement Sid Meier's Colonization (not authorized), with modern graphics and some more modern UI elements. Really hope this will succeed and the demo played pretty well. However, this same developer released a reboot of the Capitalism series of games and then appears to have abandoned it while still in early access . . . caveat emptor.
...
Estoeric Ebb is in the Next Fest but I already tried it in the last one. RPG based on D&D rules set, but emphasis here is more on story and exposition then build optimization and fiddly rules exploitation.
Hopefully more to come - downloaded a bunch of military and strat games as well I hope to get to.

OVB's racism raises its ugly head once again. Based on past experience, most of you will say nothing. Some of you will agree with him silently. And the most odious of you will come to his defence.
I put him on ignore a long time ago. So it is true I won't say anything but that's because I don't see it.
Fair, and good for your mental health
