I haven't had the pleasure of playing PF2 as a player yet, but I definitely think the Swashbuckler would be near the top of my list of classes to play as if I did. I spent a lot more time theorising about different characters I could build in D&D 5e using the swashbuckler rogue subclass (and various multiclasses), but this class just seems better all around.

Really handy to be able to avoid that kind of cheese. I wonder if it also works for Atlantean oracles, which can be easily harassed in the same way to stop them generating favor.
These are among my absolute favourite types of videos. Pros doing rec reviews of pro games, explaining what they were thinking and what they should have done and why. Watching these closely is IMO a grew way to improve one's strategic thinking when playing the game.
A century or so of oppressed masses and greedy elites did it.
True, and that's important context if you're trying to get a deeper understanding of how Julius Caesar came to have the power he held before his assassination.
But there's enough of a problem you can see even if you just start at Julius, which is what I was concentrating on in my previous comment. The parallels to Trump are terrifyingly on the nose.
So today there are two versions on Steam. The "Extended Edition" which came out in 2014, and "Retold" which came out two weeks ago.
EE was basically just the same as the original CD version from 2002, except altered to support modern screen resolutions, and then they added some new balance patches and a Chinese civ which were extremely poorly received for a whole bunch of reasons.
Retold looks much, much better with proper newly-crafted models and textures. It took out the worst of the patches from EE and the Chinese (with a promise that the first expansion will be an "all-new" Chinese civ). It's also got a heap of design changes which have mostly been regarded as positive: god powers are reusable for a Favor cost (with Atlanteans balanced by their Favor cost to reuse being much lower than other civs), the house limit is raised so you can build bigger armies, and the UX is enhanced with better hotkey support, among other things. It also has good multiplayer servers, rather than being peer-to-peer, so lag is vastly reduced.

My significant other has the same vague possessive connotations
I don't think it does at all. In fact I think just the opposite. It's saying they're an "other" person who is "significant" to you. It's quite sweet, actually, IMO.
Oh yes! Nice one! I've heard that small native shrubs and stuff are meant to be especially good for our smaller natural wildlife, and the trend towards large trees with nothing but grass surrounding them is why shitty bullies like noisy miners are so common. More local planted plants in people's back yards is great!
Moose himself says they're pretty basic "generally pretty good" build orders, rather than necessarily being totally optimised expert options. This is probably extra true since this vid came out before the latest patch.
Oh nice! I'm curious as someone who doesn't play, what was it that made you decide to watch it at all? Do you play AoE2 or 4, or some other RTS? Or it just showed up in your feed and sheer curiosity?
The Age of Mythology music cueing up at about 5:00 threw me off. Was not expecting that here, considering how much I've heard it lately with the recent release of Retold. !aom@lemm.ee
Cats and rats and rabbits were obvious, but I was surprised to see things like cattle and goats make the list.
We eat Easter Bilbies in this house, damn it.
Where? I haven't seen them in stores for years.

I didn't get it independently, but I loved the purple connection. Hated the blue one though, never would have got it without help from my Olds.
Spoilers blue
Calling someone a "sap" to me means "emotional", not stupid. And turkey just doesn't mean anything at all.
Oh I didn't for one second think it was a true story. But it is a fun story that, with the exception of this one massive glaring hole, reads really well. Which just makes the one plot hole stand out even more.
Several types of honeyeater, white-throated gerygones, golden whistlers and flycatchers are among the species most affected.
Oh good, I'm glad someone else is asking this question. The whole story hinges on it, and it doesn't make sense.
The mod later edited their comment:
EDIT: as funny as it is to imagine that I literally removed the post because it spoiled a tournament result, I actually didn't; another mod removed it (for being low-effort). In light of this post's popularity I'll re-approve it.
At some point OP deleted the post anyway. Dunno if it was in response to their treatment by mods, or unrelated to that.

Sylvan Road in Toowong has been declared Queensland's most unsafe place to ride a bicycle, with the results revealed as part of Australia's largest crowd-sourced bike safety project.
The BikeSpot project attracted more than 72,800 submissions throughout Australia, and found more than three-quarters of unsafe spots were at dangerous intersections or areas with no bike lanes.
On average, female riders experienced more riding stress than men, nad were more worried about no bicycle lanes and poor driver behaviour.
Space4cycling Brisbane spokesman Chris Cox says Sylvan Road needed protected bike lanes.
"Sylvan Road is the main connector between two major bikeways, carries over 3000 cyclists per day, but has nothing but painted bike lanes, no parking times that motorists ignore, and dangerous intersections," he says.
The Bicentennial Bikeway was named Queensland's safest spot.
