They dropped the update during The Game Awards, timed to release while their update announcement trailer played at the event. They seem to have wanted it to be as much of a surprise as possible.

Training people can be harder when the trainees have to unlearn bad habits or knowledge. Ask anyone who has tutored previously self-taught students an artform or craft.

In some ways, media exposure can help to introduce broad concepts, and sometimes there are excellent examples in media (My Cousin Vinny and Legally Blonde have been used in some US law school course curriculum to show how the parts of the judicial system are supposed to operate, iirc), but oftentimes preconceived notions can hinder training for the real thing.

American here; you're spot on. The US/Mexico version of the Milky Way bar has a layer of caramel in addition to the nougat, and 3 Musketeers is essentially the global version of Milky Way. Our bars may be also bigger in size.

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. It happened when important NPCs died, rendering unfinished or future quests associated with that character impossible to complete or start; iirc essential NPCs didn't have immunity to damage and death in Morrowind like in later Bethesda titles, so these NPCs were protected only by the player reloading their save after getting this message upon the essential NPCs' death.

Honestly, I wanted to ditch the left trackpad for a D-pad and a couple more buttons on the back, but that's all I really wanted. I found myself playing more FPS titles with the Steam Controller than with K+M because the trackball mouse feature worked very well for quick coarse camera movements and gyro aiming improved my fine camera movements for lining up shots.

I just got a Wii to play RE4, WarioWare: Smooth Moves, and a couple GameCube games. I still need to get the component cable (I'm on composite, which isn't ideal) but I'm finding it just as fun as I remember.

Tbf, as a Driller main I, too, drill straight toward objectives. Though I'll ensure I don't drill at too steep an angle, since I don't want to have to bother jumping off I can avoid it. I'll also drill straight toward the escape pod from whatever room the group is in, which usually winds up helping everyone.

In my group, the person that usually plays engineer has the nuke OC, so I'm generally not the main source of friendly fire. I do fight giant bugs' with C4, though.

The Driller specializes in ~~drilling tunnels and igniting alien bugs with his flamethrower~~ using C4 on Scouts.

I love this game, even though I haven't played in months. I've got a verified mod installed that gives every enemy googly eyes (and one semi-mobile plant that already looked like a Muppet opening and closing its mouth) which makes me very happy.

Not to mention, a major reason why people buy Nintendo consoles is to play first-party Nintendo games. Sure, it's possible to emulate those titles on PC and probably the Deck, but a lot of people either don't know how or don't want to invest the time, money or effort to do so when they know the game will just work on the intended console.

Are they forgoing voting in down-ballot races as well? Undervoting is a thing, and most electoral shifts start at the local level.
