Dragon Age: Inquisition is free this week on EGS (store.epicgames.com)

I remember playing about half of DA: Origins before it began taking over my life so I had to stop. DA2 apparently sucked. This one got a lot of critical praise when it came out and people seemed to like it at the time but I haven’t heard a peep about it since then. Worth playing? Did it stand the test of time or get washed...

Prince may have been one of the first people in the world to play the computer game “Oregon Trail.” The game was created for his Junior High class. (hexbear.net)

“May” is doing some heavy lifting I know. But it was a good reddit title that I stole.

Finally watching the Fallout show. Just finished the second episode. Does the main girl ever become less of an insufferable lib?

The shopkeepers “Fuck vault dwellers” speech has my hopes up that this show won’t be lib trash, but I dislike that the main girl is really Libby about Vault-Tec “Um actually you’re technically stealing Vault-Tec property which is wrong” also lol at her still having perfect eyeliner after being in the wasteland for...
