Apart from the jetlag it’s not too bad, actually. I’ve had worse jobs that didn’t take me to the far corners of the world.

I played a lot of D&D back in the day, and while I’m normally not a superstitious person, we did have a dice jail for poorly performing dice. That light blue d20 was a repeat offender.

Yes; pollsters and advertising platforms. They’ve got to be raking it in these days.

Never played the futuristic ones. What appealed to me with the anno games was the atmosphere of sails and settlers.

Yes, and no. They estimated a slightly higher chance for a Hillary win over a Donald win, but they were well within the margin of polling error, and they have been for every election. Plus people have a tendency of over-valuing a “51% chance to win”.

While this is good news, it could mean nothing.

EDIT: 538 explained it better than I ever could:
"Statistically, too, there is no meaningful difference between a 50-in-100 chance and a 49-in-100 chance. Small changes in the available polling data or settings of our model could easily change a 50-in-100 edge to 51-in-100 or 49-in-100. That’s all to say that our overall characterization of the race is more important than the precise probability — or which candidate is technically ahead.”

I’m not that picky in terms of resolution, but I am when it comes to FPS.

But in all honesty, 2k@60 would be fine too.
