First name that came to mind when I saw the thread title. His new Weird Stuff in a Can episode was a fun journey.

Stefan Milo - Been really enjoying his videos “digging” into archaeology and pre-history.

A recent food discovery (Well within the last year) I made was Charlie Anderson highly recommend his series on creating NY style pizza.

Us (humans) vs. Them (aliens)

I both do and do not want to check that out.

I did web design in the 90’s and remember one customer reviewing the site that I’d designed her. She said she liked it, but asked if I could add something like that neat little paper clip she has when she opens up Word, so it can help people navigate her site.

Note: Javascript was in its early days around this time so the idea of a dynamic/interactive site like this was not on the cards.

I’m only interested in it if I can plant an oak seed and see the tree grow.

Also free on https://www.gog.com/en/game/crusader_kings_ii if you want a DRM free version.

Non directly, they own a lot of companies and IP. A LOT.

Gearbox, Coffee Stain, Deep Silver, Warhorse, Aspyr, Saber, THQ Nordic, Dark Horse Comics, 3D Realms, Volition, Ghost Ship Games.

You can put them in the same sphere as Microsoft with all their owned companies as both were out scooping them up over the last few years.

I’m sure Game Pass does a hit on Steam’s numbers, but no way does it hit that hard. Plenty of games are on Game Pass with high player counts on Steam. Take Back 4 Blood, not a well received game that’s also on Game Pass and currently has 982 players on Steam.
Planet of Lana—a indie game I honestly have never heard of—came out on Game Pass and Steam last month - 66 players.

I’m sure the 58 people currently playing it on Steam are thankful. It’s crazy how hard that game bombed.

Gonna presume the reason why they haven’t announced which studios are being hit is because they haven’t yet told them. So there’s now 15k+ people sat that their desks worrying if they’ll have a pay check in a few weeks time. That sucks.

This was last year, and they did buy them.
