I don’t know how rural is rural, but if you use Roll20 you can find a lot of online games. I found my current group on twitter, but if you look around you might be able to find a few when you’re able to play.
It’s a long shot, but you can also check your library’s event calendar. Game groups are surprisingly common.
Not sure Bobby Kotick is the problem so much as the people working for him. Needs better hiring practices.
It can be both!
And even if it isn’t, have you ever heard the saying “the captain goes down with his ship”?

I am not with the “woke culture” of accusing everyone and everything for not being PC. Sorry. Although I think abolishing Thanksgiving is fine.
Are you aware of what he’s been accused of? It really has nothing to do with being “PC”.
And the saying “The captain goes down with his ship” is far older than this particular instance of culture war. It is meant to say that the leader should be responsible for the direction he has led his vessel, including directly into an iceberg. He must suffer the same consequences as the sailors under his command. (captains were meant to be the last ones off the sinking ship, if there was time to evacuate everyone)

Kotick is doing fine.
Also, that whole thing about ‘corporate culture starts at the top’.
But no one has to accuse Bobby of anything. The time for that is long past. The court battle he had, and lost, with a flight attendant from his private jet – over her being fired because she had the nerve to say that being ‘arm candy’ for one of his rich friends wasn’t in her job description – is public record.

You are aware that Captains never go down with their ship anymore? That’s an ancient saying. Boat crew get off first. The same way the employees of Blizzard are jumping off first with walkouts, etc.
Yes because evacuation safety has gotten more sophisticated to the point that everyone can usually get to safety in time.
But rest assured that if a boat is sinking and a captain decided to abandon his crew while people were still struggling and drowning then everyone will see it as a dereliction of duty. Look up the case of the “Costa Concordia” for a pretty recent example.
Those employees doing walkouts aren’t actually quitting their jobs, so this doesn’t fit the comparison you’re going for here. They haven’t “jumped ship”, they’re still onboard trying to save the ship. They just physically walked out to strike as an act of protest.

I did too! I always wanted to play DnD but none of my local friends were anywhere near as nerdy as I was so I didn’t get the chance until a few years ago. If Roll20 wasn’t a thing, I’d never have gotten the chance.

May I also recommend Warhorn to find open D&D games in your area? Also a recommendation to playing Adventures League, the unofficially official way to play D&D 5e for public sessions where you keep log of what games your character has participated in, and is the go-to format for most convention play.

Other Total War Games Victory Conditions: Conquer X number of Provinces. Wipe X factions off the map.
Total War Attila’s Victory Condition: Survive
The shifting climate aspect constantly forcing a southern expansion is also a great feature. One thing that took me a long time to figure out is while Food for army upkeep is universal throughout the empire, each of your Provinces needs food production within it to prevent starvation. So just because you’re sitting on surplus food doesn’t mean you actually have surplus food.

I played an absolute crap ton of total war Warhammer. Though it doesn’t stand up as good to the older titles, I still think its a good game

Total War: Warhammer 2 is by far my second most played game on Steam at the moment at 1,152 hours. (My most played game is Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links at 1,394 hours).
It was actually thanks to Total War: Warhammer (the first one) that I got into the Total War franchise and currently own every title sans Troy (Which, being brutally honest, is just Total War: Warhammer with a different skin). It was also what seduced me into the Fantasy side of Warhammer and Warhammer 2 is the direct reason I own a near 2,000 point army of Lumineth Realm Lords.

Glad to know Warhammer is getting some new faces! Honestly its a franchise with some amazing history dating all the way back to the original tabletop game Rogue Trader in 1987. I adore Warhammer, especially 40k, of which I am utterly entranced by the Drukhari (Dark Eldar/Dark Elves, and am probably going to buy a army of them in the future. I also own 3 of the novels of the dark eldar. One of which is my favorite book I have.
