Yeah. I'd follow up and say that you definitely don't need to get most of the DLCs. A ton of them are cosmetic stuff like flag or portrait packs. And then you can pick and choose from the substantive ones that you feel would enhance your game. So it doesn't have to be so bad, especially with sales.
Paradox makes the best emperor games, but yes. Their DLC policies are absolutely ridiculous. I give them a little bit of leeway because this genre is kind of niche, but it's still rough. I would absolutely recommend Stellaris, CK3, and HOI4 to anyone interested, but I would always give that caveat.
Chains of Freedom is 20% off, Intravenous 2 is 35% off and Overwhelmingly Positive all time, and The Great Rebellion is 60% off and 97% Positive all time, with too few reviews to give them their Overwhelmingly Positive. Great Rebellion is also hyping their Stonetoss crossover in their trailer(!!) which is based beyond all human comprehension. Going to have to pick that one up.
Besides that she was editor of Kotaku, and is actively trying to sue a YouTuber? Check out this short.

Moreover, diversity was not their strength in that episode. Their ragtag band of diverse and lovable misfits, playing a game that has deep cultural significance for (at least some of) them, got absolutely rolled by a racially homogenous team, who just recently took up the sport as a minor diversion. Kind of unusual for Star Trek.
Even "rizz" is just short for "charisma," making "rizzler" a mildly funny portmanteau of "riddler" and "rizz." It may become an enduring part of the language, like "cool" or even "sweet," or it may die off like "groovy" or "a fine how-do-you-do" or "phat."
Anyway, I agree with you. Literally every generation comes up with their own slang. Some of it catches on permanently. Most doesn't. I would advise people not to fall into the boomerism trap of saying, "back in my day we had reasonable slang, why are kids today like this??"
Edit: actually, the zoomer phrase "let's go!!" made me think about this recently. (For any who don't know what I'm talking about, it's used as an exclamation when something good happens, almost exactly like "yes!" or "hurray!") I find that phrase particularly interesting because it uses only the King's English. It literally could have become a thing in Shakespeare's time, but as far as I know, it took all the way until Gen Z to spring up -- and I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being one that catches on for good.
Rimworld is excellent (one of the best games on Steam in my opinion), and for years it never went on sale at all. For anybody who is interested in buying it, I believe I saw it's 20% off right now.
