    The decision to make the Council (should you have saved them) completely turn their back on the promises they made at the start of the first game? Dogshit. The decision to completely sideline the Spectre program? Awful. Everything to do with the Omega relay and the Collectors? Risible.

    Anyway, my dream LOTR game idea is still an Oregon Trail mod, where you form a custom Fellowship at the Council of Elrond, and make decisions as you trek to Mordor

    A powerful letter to UK ministers from the Commissioner for Human Rights of the Council of Europe, warning strongly about curtailing human rights for trans people in a bogus 'zero-sum game'. It's clear the Commissioner is deeply worried that ministers are already on this path.

    A game I think a lot about is The Council, a 5-episode Adventure/RPG hybrid from 2018. Ep 1-3 are brilliant, full of political intrigue & lovecraftian vibes, with choices & consequences that emerge from combining RPG + puzzles. Then on Ep 4-5 it shifts from lovecraftian to lazy shonen. It sucks :/

    This and Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly, Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Jim & Tammy Faye Bakker, Billy Graham, and now Watters, Gutfeld, and Paula White pony for ratings. The thing about takeovers is the long game is always in play. The Council for National Policy has been around forever.

    In my 11th-level Pathfinder 1e game, upon being offered free nonmagic supplies by the Council of a major city, one of the PCs asked for local maps with magic points of interest marked, and a cookbook of local dishes. When a player gives you fun like that, you gotta do SOMETHING with it. So I am. 1/2

    Wanna share some fanart I made for the game The Council. Honestly it's where I felt like my art was truly shifting into something I adored. This was so early on in my artstyle change, I was just starting to figure out what I want my art to be. I still love a lot of the fanart I made of this game

    Ireland now chairs the Council of the EU including the digital rulebook & tax reform files it has spent a decade resisting. You can’t referee a game you’re playing in. Here’s our call for Ireland to recuse itself 👇

    as you all know, the best-feeling video game of all time, as decreed by the Council of Segata, is Ninja Gaiden Black. this is of course extremely uncontroversial. however, rise of the ronin is _exceptional_ and should be played for game feel ALONE. highly recommended, please check it out

    I think my biggest hope for Midnight is them actually using the Horde Council -- whether that be for combat or simply communicating to one another in regards to Silvermoon City. I think it's long been overdue that the Council actually did something in game while all together.

    the game actually trips on its own feet here bc it spends a not-insignificant time reminding you that The Council aren't the sole authority in the galaxy and that they obviously do not want to do full-scale war with the neighbours they benefit from financially, and then goes "oh well fuck em"

    Around 2019/2020 I made an active choice to stop saying mean stuff about myself and treat myself like I’m my own best friend. Folks, it’s a game changer. The Council of me that live inside my head have never been happier with each other.

    It amuses me that this might be the most actually Christian game since the Council Of Nicaea LARP. And like that one, I eagerly await some Theater Kid (laudatory) trying to run it in their Sunday School.

    The Council called the studios a “game changing development” that could help make Enfield one of London’s leading centres for film and television production. That clearly did not happen. The much bigger vision sold to residents was never delivered. (2/3)
