Looking for a game similar to Crusader Kings 2 with high fantasy setting

Ck2 has an overhaul mod for vampire the masquerade called prince of darkness. It's pretty cool having your characters live hundreds of years learning new skills/spells and diablorizing to get closer to a 1st generation vampire. Having your personal herd to feed off of and turning loyal members into full fledged vampires. Theres a new masquerade meter that fills if you flaunt your vampire tendencies too much and can lead to some nasty events (crusade against your kingdom, riots etc)

It takes a little getting used to but is super fun

Edit: heres the workshop link if you're lazy

Biden’s vanishing red line: White House silent as top UN court orders Israel to halt Rafah attack

I hate this whole fuckin debacle. Biden saying theres a red line if israel attacks Rafah. Israel attacks Rafah and biden backpedals and equivocates with israel. ICC and ICJ say theres a genocide happening and puts out warrants for crimes against humanity on netanyahu and Hamas leaders. Yet Biden says there's no genocide happening despite his hard stance on rules based order which hes mentioned quite a few times

I get that Israel is the US's only ally in the middle east but ffs how can you still supply them with weapons after watching these atrocities take place. Also it's certainly unpopular and is losing him votes in swing states, if the uncommitted votes during the primaries is any indicator not even to mention the polling. I guess I'm just flabbergasted how poorly this is being handled and am worried this is a Trump presidency speed run

I was watching the falcon and winter soldier and I was thinking the flag smashers had a good point and were doing good for the world. They wanted no borders and no more nationalism. At one point they randomly had the flagsmashers kill some innocents to make them the antagonists

Put little Wasabi so sleep today, homage to the fallen

Thanks I really appreciate the support. I took her to the emergency vet 2 months ago and been giving her blood pressure pills and hyperthyroidism pills to keep her going. But i had to have her euthanized a few hours ago since she could hardly move or see since she had atrophied iris'. I buried her in the strawberry garden in my parents yard and have been drinking since

Google is the new IBM

This is a great overview of the problem, I never even really thought about. It kind of really explains why they've binned and remade almost the identical apps multiple times. Maybe if they'd made more QOL and supported their apps with new novel ideas they wouldnt have slowly died out.

Or even maybe if they'd make privacy respecting software instead of spreading their legs and whoring out all the data they collected on you they'd be doing much better too. Google has become a bloated beast that needs to be put down. Anti competitive and monopolistic behaviour with no innovation, it's a wonder anyone uses their shit apps and services anymore

shamelessly stolen

Easy, sell masks and air purifiers and jack up the price. I live in the midwest and the smoke was so bad from the fires from canada last week my lungs still haven't recovered. I actually did end up buying an air filter too

America’s premier pronatalists on having ‘tons of kids’ to save the world: ‘There are going to be countries of old people starving to death’

Reply in thread

Oh wait I got this, how about the bit about the oldest child taking care of the younger ones. They get to grow up fast and spend their precious time being an unpaid babysitter instead of actually being a kid pretty much ruining their childhood.

Or how about the bit where the parents deliberately have so many kids gambling one will get rich and take care of them when their old. These natalists are delusional and I actually know a few irl that have said or done these and frankly its fuckin disgusting to me
