When I opened Stronghold Crusader Definitive Edition just now, the voice that usually says "Greeting Sire" as you reach the menu instead said:

Happy Anniversary to Stronghold - the original Castle-Sim

After checking Wikipedia, it looks like today marks 25 years since the release of Stronghold on 2001-10-19!

Congrats to Firefly Studios. I always loved the original game with the little story between the missions. And I like how they even localised the campaign map, it showed Germany when I was playing in German as a child!

Schlagt die Trommeln, blast das Horn, das Schwein ist im Anmarsch direkt von vorn!

It seems another fiber optic subsea cable was damaged in the Baltic Sea, this is not the same incident as the one in the Gulf of Finland a few days ago.

I'm wondering if it's BCS-East or a different not publicly listed one. Can't find confirmation yet.

A certain ex-corpo fish girl is returning to us today. We're at 188k viewers and the intro has been running for four minutes.

I bet she's nervous as hell, hope everything goes well!

I really like the sound of it, and the lore implications are kind of fun too. Justice turning darker.
