Creating a lesbian-only matriarchy is now officially on my CK3 Royal Court agenda. It's not going to be the first thing I do, I've had my first game planned and set in stone for months now, but it's gonna happen.

My first game was a Mon lesbian matriarchy, looks like it's time to revive it. But with actual marriage.

The game mechanics were actually good. Game just lacks flavor. Which in all honesty sells a paradox game.

Yeah and mods have given it more flavor. The one I'm playing now starts in the early 10th century BC and with a huge array of various cultural groups and states one can play as. Currently trying to reforge the Hittite Empire. It's a good successor mod to the Bronze Age mod which starts off in the aftermath of the Akkadian Empire's fall.

I was under the impression the modding community had died. They still going on, despite paradox dropping the game? Might have to check up on that shit.

I don't care if the reference is 'free-range fair-trade organic' or whatever.

That's the one. Supernatural is good television. I'm in a marathon, I've been watching the whole Supernatural series (since my birthday, Dec. 6th) and I've just made it to season 11 (out of 15!). Never watched the final few seasons, I fell off the show back when it was still running. Should be fun. Nothing can match the perfection that seasons 1 - 5 are, but if they're anything close to season 8, then they'll be great in my book.

I hope this game is good at launch because it looks quite interesting so far.
