Putin trained the fucker well. First he poisons relationships with neighbors, then the EU. Full ongoing division tactics. Straight out of the brexit cookbook. The only thing that's missing now is for him to pompously declare independence from the EU or smth.

It's the same for Mass Effect. Every time I get ideas and want to fetch the games on Steam, I'm reminded why I didn't until now

MTX and ads? Then it's clearly only 3+ and should be allowed lol

I'm not really feeling the new Ciri either, but CDPR didn't follow the book lore all that well. They confirmed in a tweet that indeed she went through the trial, and speculation tells that she may gave done so with the help of a witcher from another school, broken off from the school of the cat ( see the new medalion ). From the agresiveness she shows in the trailer I'm guessing they're going for a more Falka-like Ciri, which is intriguing.

But I admit I'm a bit disappointed with their decision to insist on the well established characters for the "new trilogy" as they call it. It feels very boring and safe, and frankly I though that their arcs were complete and it was time for something new. We'll see I suppose

Farm Sim trailers are very enjoyable, both the newer rock music ones

As for all time favorites, the Warcraft 3 trailer still lives in my head. Even remember the words.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was an attempt by Samsung to install an authoritarian regime through this guy, as their puppet. Megacorps do love their authoritarians and Samsung (and a few others) pretty much own the country

My thousands of hours of Elite can vouch that this is still THE best space sim out there. You can try NMS, X, Star Citizen, Everspace but there's nothing that can quite touch it.

If you do get it, remember a few things: it doesn't have a learning curve, it has a learning cliff. You'll learn a lot in the first hours. Also, join a community. There's reddit, or the various discords, or join a squad on inara.cz or even directly in-game. But the community surrounding this game is one of the nicest and most supportive i've ever seen. Oh, and if you're into salt and drama, there's the Frontier elite forums. Fly safe

You mean have the BBC miss a chance to again blame her and Germany for EU's current woes? Preposterous

Polling agencies in this country are simply opinion manufacturers. In any other country it would be unacceptable to have no less than 5 candidates off by more than 6% each in EXIT POLLS.

It's really more shocking to the media, who essentially ignored the guy because he was always trailing in polls. They all had him at 5% and then he suddenly shot up to 16% in exit polls and 23% in actual votes.

The running theory is that the main party artificially boosted him through their votes to have an easier go in round 2 ( "vote for our candidate, not the extremist" ) and it backfired because they underestimated tiktoks ability to brainwash people.

Wayfinder. Recently discovered it and i've been having quite a bit of fun with it. It's a former live service converted to singleplayer/coop, so the story kind of blows. But it's a good ARPG - a Torchlight meets Warframe sort of thing.

Watched this a few years ago. Best damn documentary on WW1 I've ever seen.

 

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