    Still playing that Crusader Kings III game where I'm trying to recreate and exceed both Ancient Egypt's greatest extent and religious reach. It's going... pretty good.

    This week has been hectic as I'm preparing to attend a congress. But today I had time to relax and play Crusader Kings III. Unsurprisingly, my characters are always Adamites 😁 This is Anastasia, a Byzantine princess dispossessed and forced to exile due to her beliefs. #nudistgamer #nudistlife

    These have been the fastest five years of my life. Five years ago, we under Covid laws, I was moving house, and launching what was - at that point - the biggest game I've ever been a part of. Happy birthday to Crusader Kings III and congratulations to the whole team.

    Yeah. It's an old Crusader war cry / motto, but it's been *thoroughly* taken over by white supremacists and nasty far-right "Christians". The implications are so bad nowadays, that Paradox removed it from their game *Crusader Kings III* where it would have been historically appropriate!

    Crusader Kings III! It’s a game I work with. In this instance, the player has created an adventurer character who can wander the world. And, with the right skills, rob people. The core game is about ruling a medieval dynasty, but we’ve added a lot of flexibility in recent updates.
