I would be tempted to say that it will now turn to shit, but in Discord's case it was pretty shit already.

I'm still bitter about that whole debacle. CS never really clicked with me, so after trying ever other contemporary city sim under the sun I went back to playing SC4, but only every now and then. Goddamn, Simcity was so good and what EA did was a fuckin crime.

The game is not without its flaws, but goddamn if it doesn't look, sound and feel fantastic.

Can't say I'm surprised. There were credible rumous that the US pressured our gvt to release them. Word on the street is that they "traded" handing these two over in exchange for the US shutting up about the arrest of the russian puppet candidate. These both happened in the same day, so there may some truth to that. Honestly this wouldn't feel like that bad of a deal - one manchurian candidate for two instagram pimps. It's immoral, cowardly and corrupt, but these are the times we're living in.

Just remember this every time a US official blabbers stuff about other countries' election interference.

Times square? Damn, I thought they were strapped for cash and barely profitable.

Good for them I suppose, but just remember that corps are not your friends. Even GOG is part of a stockmarket-listed entity that has fiduciary duties and can turn to crap in an instant. Keep your games offline and archived folks.

Interesting, indeed. Maybe it's a form of nostalgia? We still have plenty of people missing the comunists in my country, usually folk that had it better during the regime. But I never heard "we felt like we lost the war".

It looks dramatic, but afaik the old GDR states have much lower pop and density. Unless germany starts some funny business with electors and whatnot, i daresay this is not that bad of a result.

That moment when you're too far right for the far-right.

This feels like Romania, due to the general architecture and the fact that Uruses are goto cars for the "nouveau riche" over here.

Anyway, tell her to take great care OP. A 20yo in an Urus on romanian roads feels like a recipe for disaster.

I know there's some use cases, but it feels like they're pandering to smaller and smaller niches. But I suppose tablets are more and more niche these days.

And yeah, I know about the y700, it's a good device, but I've been looking for a nexus7-like device on and off for the past couple of years and find it fascinating that if you were to release it today if would blow most other tablets out of the water. A ten year old device ffs. Anyway, I mostly read stuff, so a 7-8 inch high-res budget tablet is the dream. I've done the compromises: a large tcl nxtpaper phone, an e-ink reader, a budget lenovo tab. They're just not the same tbh.

Why the fuck would you spend 800 euro on a 13", non-upgradeable tablet instead of, say, a laptop?

Apologies, I'm just bitter no one makes 8 inchers anymore.

So far there's subscriptions for cruise control, adaptive beams, various navigation options, apple/google integration and my favorite, dual-zone climate.
