Dear Wizards of the Coast,

We have been playing RPGs with pen and paper since the 1970s (in my case, the 1990s) and we can do it again.

Screw You,
D&D Players not giving a crap about D&D Beyond anymore

Hey X-COM (2012) friends. Some of you may remember what *really* made this game amazing was the "Long War" mod, from Pavonis Interactive, with the X-COM creators themselves stating¹ "We're basically a 20-hour tutorial for Long War, and that's okay."

It was that good.

Pavonis went on to create the incredible game Terra Invicta², but did you know that Long War continued to be improved upon by Ucross, as the Long War Rebalance project?

It's good, like really *really* good, and continues to see patches and fixes³ on a regular basis, including fixing some bugs in the original X-COM codebase from over a decade ago!

If you're a fan on X-COM 2012, and want what is arguably the best X-COM experience ever, then the Long War Rebalance mod is for you!

I am playing something called The Stanley Parable (Ultra Deluxe Edition).

It is, er, hard to explain.

But here is a screenshot.

She's talking about Cloud Gaming via Xbox Cloud Gaming.

"I think we've reached a point where it will be hard to imagine that mass audiences can afford thousands of dollars to spend on a console generation,"
@Xbox CEO @asha_shar said at #BrainstormTech.

"I think we will start to see radically different business models that we never expected start to come into orbit later this year."
