It appears that it is only the game I started last night that wont launch. Maybe it has something to do with playing the game while the new launcher was downloading. That save doesn't have any of the expansions or dlc recognized.

I'm using steam.

I can't launch any of my saved games with the new launcher.

A lot can happen in two weeks. There are weeks where decades happen.

At what point does 2021 become better than 2020? So far I can't see much difference.

Hopefully 2021 doesn't turn out to be worse. In the US 1967 was a crap year, and people were probably glad to see the end of it, but it turned out that it was just the appetizer for what was to come. My mom, who is 84, tells me that as bad as 2020 is, 1968 is still the worst year since the end...

It would have no material impact on their lives but at that level money is also a quantification of power. They don't want to give up that power.

Bald eagles have made a big comeback here. It is now a normal and unremarkable thing to see them flying overhead, even in the city. Wild turkeys have established themselves in the city neighborhoods of Minneapolis over the last few years. They seem unafraid of people and have figured out how to...

I am under the impression that once a person has been pardoned they can no longer take the 5th regarding the things they were pardoned for because testimony will no longer incriminate them. If that is the case Trump needs to be careful. The best irony would be if Trump pardoned himself and all...

Antipopulism is the rallying cry of the professional/managerial class, who's politics drove the west's economy off the cliff in 2007. We shouldn't listen to those people anymore. They are are responsible, either directly or indirectly, for the impoverishment of the working class and the...

Starting with smaller states gives lesser figures with good ideas a chance to build momentum before it turns into a national race where cash is king. I am fairly sure that is the thinking behind it, which is why we start with four smaller states, one from each region. If they want a Midwestern...

As a side issue to this, I wonder how much of the perception that wages haven't kept up with prices is due to the rise in prices for housing? In the US, the cost of housing isn't part of the consumer price index, but for most people it is their single largest monthly expense. If you are a long...

I'm not suggesting using MSG, just richer stock. Umami comes from naturally occurring glutemate compounds. When I cook at home I use home made demiglace cubes as a natural substitute for MSG. If you are making stock from scratch you can make it richer by reducing it. If you are making it with...

It's got to be witches.

They probably use water because it is cheaper than half and half. I would keep using half and half. From your description it sounds like it was lacking umami which is read as richness by our palate. That comes from glutemate compounds. They probably add MSG to their soup or there is a ton of it...

I love the game dynamics of Civ VI, and it those terms it has the potential to be better than Civ IV (and clearly better than Civ V), but the game is so ugly in visual terms that I can barely bring myself to play it. Civ isn't about the graphics but in the case of Civ VI they are so bad that it...

Never mind then.

My first two toes are Greek, the rest are Egyptian. My feet self identify as a mailbox but they've been in therapy for the last ten years.

Have you thought about moving? In most cities in the US there is a massive shortage of cooks and chefs. In my market line cooks make $13 to $18 an hour, sous chefs $40k to $50k a year. The cost of living is higher than in small towns but if you avoid the cities on the coasts it isn't that much...
