Its from the book 1176 BC by Eric H Cline.

End of the bronze age. Have a set of letters between citystate rulers, one writing that help is urgently needed as seaborne invaders have been spotted nearby and his military is off with the hittite empire.

The response back, in modern slang amounts to "lol ur fucked."

It could be that its success was internally attributed to a different team someone in the hierarchy favoured.

$147000 is a lot of money to grant to three college kids with zero proven business record.

It's the CCP. You can't have a non government funded company.

Its adding whiskey, gin, rum or bourbon, depending on the tea(white/herbal or Rooibos for no caffeine) for variations on the Hot Toddy.

Obligatory Fuck EA for the bullshit they pulled.

They buried the game launch intentionally behind Battlefield 1.

Cream of Earl Grey black tea if before 3pm.

If after 3pm, A Bourbon-flavoured rooibos.

If after 8pm, its not just bourbon flavoured anymore.

My Oma was in the Netherlands in the 1930s. Her family sheltered part of a jewish family(the elderly mother who was too sick to escape to North America, and one of her sons, a lawyer, who stayed behind to care for her.) This was before the invasion and the start of the war.

At the time, late 1930s, she said that everyone knew something bad was happening to the Jewish people the Nazis rounded up, but not what.

After more than a year of occupation, they were turned in by a neighbor for extra rations because none of her family needed daily visits from a doctor. The Nazis took the two Jewish people and her Dad into a camp.

A local factory owner, some months on, tried to have everyone from the area released in return for his compliance in letting them use his factory output. Her dad was among those released, but they refused to release any Jewish prisoners. Her parents then immediately joined the resistance and helped it out until the end of the war. The factory owner allegedly ensured that the output to the Nazis was changed to be only subtly defective units, pipe walls too thin, cooled too quickly etc.

They took this from a facebook RPG memes that its been trying to get me to look at. Saw it on my feed today.
