  • They have mentioned before that they gave up on episodic development, which tacitly ditches Episode 3. The episodes ended up not being that much easier or faster to make and in a time when PC games in retail was still kind of relevant, it was a pain to make, distribute, and get shelf space for.

  • I love the non-infringing memes on Wikimedia Commons. They're charmingly janky yet a good facsimile of mainstream meme formats.

  • Games to play with my late 40s brothers?
  • You will need games that have crossplay between PC and Xbox One so you can play together across different platforms. Multiple people have suggested Left 4 Dead 2, but that doesn't have crossplay. Most of the shooters I personally play don't have it, but there definitely are shooters with crossplay.

    Here are my recommendations that have crossplay:

    • Borderlands 3 — Collect wacky guns, travel the universe, and shoot bad guys together. The previous games in the series don't have crossplay.

    ...Yeah, that's it for crossplay shooters I recommend. For crossplay games that aren't shooters:

    • Overcooked! All You Can Eat — Chaotic co-op cooking. Work together to prepare, cook, and serve food in increasingly absurd scenarios: in the middle of the highway, on an iceberg, in a hot air balloon that crashes into a different restaurant.
    • Ultimate Chicken Horse — Platformer where you build the levels together and then race to the finish. You only score if someone died, so you need to make the level extra dangerous.
    • Moving Out 2 — Goofy co-op game where your group plays as a ridiculously reckless moving company. Carry furniture from the house and shove or throw it into the truck. No one will notice if you break all the windows.

    If everyone is on PC, things will open up a good bunch. Old-school networked games generally still work. You can go FFA deathmatch in your old favourites or in newer arena shooters, like Warsow or Disco Dodgeball.

  • There was a very big plot arc from 2009 to 2019. The story is officially over and the comic has returned to gag-a-day format, but now with the expanded cast from the storyline.

    I recommend diving into the archive to read through that arc. It's one of my favourite webcomic storylines.

  • Stealth rule change announced in the Foundations mechanics article: no more choosing blocker order
    magic.wizards.com Magic: The Gathering Foundations Mechanics

    Discover all the fan-favorite mechanics in Foundations, the quintessential Magic set.

    Magic: The Gathering Foundations Mechanics

    The announcement of this rule change with examples are at the bottom of the article. To summarize:

    In the current rules, if you attack with a creature and it gets multi-blocked, once your opponent locks in their blocks, you choose the order of blockers immediately. During the combat damage step, you must assign enough (big asterisk on "enough") damage on the first creature before you can assign damage on the next.

    Starting with Foundations, you don't choose an order for the blockers. During the combat damage step, you will just distribute damage however you want.

    This weakens multi-blocking as a defensive option.

    We will one day speak of blocker order like we do damage on the stack.
