    Any good (opposite of evil) necromancers in fiction?

    The Tomb Kings from warhammer fantasy. Due to the animating ritual that killed/resurrected them all going wrong, they're just normal people who happen to be skeletons/mummies. They are very benevolent and protective of the few living subjects they have left, and only really leave their lands if...

    I got a written warning for saying this at work?

    Your examples of a burglar being robbed or a racist receiving abuse don't fit the situation, because in both cases the perpetrator is the one suffering. In this case, innocent civilians - not ISIS members - were targeted and massacred. That does not call for a flippant remark just because ISIS...

    Should Final Fantasy XII get a re-release?

    I really enjoyed 12, and even liked Vaan and Penelo, so yes I would absolutely buy a PS4 remake of FFXII. I realize that this makes me an outlier.

    Poll: Okay body.... Sleep!

    But I don't need to know the answer. I just recite to myself, over and over, until I can choose sleep: It all adds up to normality.

    Why wouldn't an AI just decide to do it's job?

    An AI wouldn't stop doing its job, it would just start doing its job in the most powerful, efficient manner possible. While this is a huge oversimplification, think of evolutionary algorithms (the sort that could, hypothetically, become sentient/runaway) as having a list of criteria it thinks...

    I need an antidote to Game of Thrones

    It's old, but I love the Silver John short stories. Set in 1960s appalachia, John wanders around with a cool guitar dealing with the occult, witches, monsters and other folklorey things. It has a really optimistic outlook, but it's rooted in Christianity (similar to CS Lewis) in case that's an...

    Starcraft II: Legacy of The Void Pre-Orders Open, Heart of The Swarm Goes Stand-alone

    The video explains that anyone who owns either starcraft 2 game will get access to the prologues before LoV comes out, pre ordering just gets you them sooner.

    League of Legends Trolls Can Now Be Banned Within 15 Minutes of Offending

    So, is this 1/6000 false positive rate: Out of six thousand people wrongly reported, one is punished Out of six thousand people reported (good or bad), one person is punished who should not be For every six thousand people punished, one did not deserve it Those are VERY different numbers...

    Games that you've abandoned playing

    Achron for me. It's a brilliant time-travel RTS that executes the promise of time travel in a game near-perfectly. Unfortunately, despite being released three years ago, its controls, pathing and AI are more like a 10-15 year old game. I really WANT to like and finish this game, but eventually...

    looking to get a space strategy game but I cant decide!

    Sword of the Stars is a 4X game with an interesting backstory. While there is a sort of "campaign" scenario chain, it's mostly a backdrop to the game itself rather than a central role. Each race in the game plays very differently, even having completely different methods of traveling the stars...
