Varric Tethras.
He was born above the surface in the city of Kirkwall. Unlike most dwarves, he has no attachment to the underground city of Orzammar because his family was forced to leave prior to his birth.
Varric is a rogue who uses a crossbow named Bianca and is voiced by Brian Bloom. While first introduced in Dragon Age II as a companion to Hawke, he went on to appear in every subsequent release.

A terrible day for the videogame industry.
BioWare made Dragon Age: Origins, Dragon Age II and Mass Effect 1-3 in one console generation. Between 2007-2012. Every game incredible.
How do you take one of the most talented, disciplined and proven entertainment studios on the planet and completely shutter them in less than 15 years after a run like that?
BioWare's brands and the studio's well earned respect, which had been a magnet for generations of talented game creators, were incalculably valuable.
Reduced to bullet points on a balance sheet.
Near sighted. Unbelievable. Irreplaceable.
Unforgivable.

hey historians! i am doing an independent study with a student about the holocaust, they are currently reading ORDINARY MEN by Browning, but I would love to point them to other books or articles that would be essential reading - do you have any suggestions?

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. wasn't feeling right, so he went to his manager, John Schneider, to talk.
@ShiDavidi details how the star has leaned on his teammates to maintain his uplifting energy despite struggles at the plate. can01.safelinks.protection.o…

The lovely bat boy (bat person) here at Globe Life just asked me if “this thing belonged to the Blue Jays?”while holding up the home run dragon.
He found it among the bats in the travel bags and placed it in the dugout.
Me: Yup, that definitely belongs to them 😀

What is the point, ultimately, to making a trade deal with someone who threatens every 2-3 days either to "cut off trade" or increase the cost of trade over whatever issue happens to have pissed him off this morning? Talking to the EU? Tariffs. Joined the BRICS? Tariffs. Russian oil purchases? Tariffs. No access to bases? Tariffs. Didn't do X, Y, or Z? Tariffs. And now we have progressed from tariffs to "no more trade." There's just no real credibility to a policy instrument if you either overuse it, use it for anything and everything, or are just all over the place.
