There seems to be an uptick in women deliberately bringing their children to protests.

For whatever reason I've got Innkeep on my wishlist. I really enjoyed Graveyard Keeper so was looking for something in that style.

I always do the nasty option and reload. Things like selling your companions into slavery, or telling someone you are going to wear their head like they are wearing their hat.

I think of it as 'urban exploration gone wrong'. It starts out as a curious adventure and then you realise you can't backtrack due to a locked door or getting lost. A very mild anxiety sets in (mollified by the mundane banal surroundings) where you try to calmly start thinking through your options. You check your phone battery and its dead. Your loved ones won't be expecting you until tomorrow. Uh oh.

If ICE employees want to be treated like cops, maybe they should act more like cops. Wear proper body cameras instead of using a cell phone, have their faces visible, and identify their name and badge number when asked. Then maybe people would feel that it's safe to surrender when "arrested" by them.
I agree with you 100% on the bodycams.
As for the rest, we've talked about this previously and why its a non-starter. The protestors are actively trying to dox and threaten the ICE agents.

There are modding tools that will download a stack of mods almost automatically (need to click download for each if you dont have a nexusmods subscription) and load them in the correct order for you which makes things a lot easier these days. The base game sorely needed some QoL, Graphics and UI tweaks which Viva New Vegas does while leaving the story and experience intact. The modding scene seems alive and well.
I haven't looked at any larger story packs or anything, but I'm enjoying the current playthrough. The writing is great as are the branching pathways. You can really wreck things and do horrible things to people.

Yeah I kind of agree. Its a lot of fun, but what isn't fun is having so many different stats (eg 'hands efficiency?') that you need to invest time in reading about to understand. Games are meant to be fun. If you need to go read a build guide outside of the game to make a decent build, something has gone wrong.
I am waiting until the final release before getting back to it as I hope it will have a lot of QoL polish by then.

Ultimately, my favorite turn-based tactics game isn't XCOM at all but Battle Brothers.
I had a lot of fun with Battle Brothers. Have you had a look at Stoneshard yet? It hits a few of the same notes.

Fallout New Vegas (Modded with Viva New Vegas stack).
I'm doing it because season 2 of Fallout is halfway through and its trippy playing through areas and meeting groups that are showcased in the series.
I played a couple of games that remind me of this:
The Exit 8 - You're stuck in an underground train station trying to find the exit.
The Lurking Horror - Text Adventure Cthulu Mythos game where you are working late on a paper at university during a blizzard and strange things start happening.
Edit: Almost forgot, Infra - You're a structural engineer that is surveying decaying infrastructure (like old dams and tunnels) alone and of course things go wrong. The only way out is through.

Glucosamine and collagen supplements are great for cartilage. Helped me out so much with recovery from running. If I get back into lifting heavy I'll take it again.

I think its silly way of doing it anyway. Why can't they meet up in a public place for 5 minutes like a cafe or bar to 'see what they are buying', before heading to a second destination for the tryst. (Promiscuous) straight people do this all the time because of the risk of being catfished and to quell anxiety that your random partner doesn't reek of crazy or look completely different to how they presented themselves online.
I have an unverified video being shared around twitter that shows a supposed interview of a neighbour near the scene talking about seeing Renee actively engage in blocking ICE vehicles.
I traced it back to this GAB post, but can't find the wider interview that it was clipped from.
Edit: Got it; I traced it back to its source. There was an interview by local MPR photojournalist Ben Hovland with locals up on TikTok.
2nd Edit: Seems from the full clip that she was repeating information she received from 'another guy that was driving behind her'.

I mean these federal agencies are designed to operate with local LEO support, but in blue states that is refused. That causes problems.
I've seen this as the most consistent problem with recent ICE operations. Local police should be controlling the crowd. Actually there shouldn't be a crowd at all. Somehow there is a coordinated convoy stalking the ICE facilities and either blocking the facility itself, or tailing the vehicles to disrupt them as they go to make an arrest elsewhere.
Local Mayors deliberately refuse support, then when the situation escalates into violence, use it as ammunition to pressure ICE to leave their cities. All this helps their public opinion at the cost of public safety.
I even read an article where an obstructor remarked what are they using real bullets instead of rubber bullets.
I saw the video, but can't find a link now. Basically a black dude was filming on his porch directly in front of where the woman's car finally crashed. Her partner? was sitting on his driveway screaming 'Why did you use real bullets?!' amongst other things.
I think the woman and her partner didn't understand the seriousness of the situation they were putting themselves into by choosing to obstruct a law enforcement operation and attend a protest.
Edit: Found a link. Might be taken down quick.
2nd Edit: Full version

No. Look at the direction the front left wheel is facing when she begins to accelerate (apologies, easiest source to find). I'm almost certain the vehicle has power steering and could have been redirected before accelerating.

Fleeing police or resisting arrest shouldn't be a death sentence, but using a weapon against the police to aid your escape can be. Vehicle as a Weapon (VaaW) attacks are a big deal. They make up one of the most common forms of terrorist attack world wide and can easily kill or maim victims. You should compare the attitudes of commentators about this to their attitudes about past protest incidents. Who Whom.
And that's before we get into the differences between police directing you to exit your vehicle compared to a wild mob attacking your car.

I strongly encourage people to take breaks from OLD (or even dating in general) when they feel burnout. You won't be at your best when burnt out and frankly it feels horrible to keep engaging when you've had a bad run.

Not really endorsing your post, but there is a REAL problem with women refusing to advertise their 'true' status in any way that might give up the game before a guy invests attention in her. Even being on a dating app isn't proof positive that she's available and serious.
Certainly is. Women who's entire profile is '@instabae' or 'I'm hardly ever on here, come find me on monetised-thirsttrap.com/teehee'.
Back in the day, the pump and dump was weaponised against women like this (gold-diggers etc) with a very very large amount of collateral damage.

TIL. Looks like they do grab family members as standard practice on these things.
I don't like the Babbitt shoot, but I could understand that in the moment, the police officer didn't see Babbitt, but a limb of an angry mob. It's the only way it makes sense to me outside of some weird castle doctrine defense. Babbitt of course was a clown to do what she did.
Notably in mid 2025 the govt settled a wrongful death suit with Babbitt's family for $5 million.
