Hey France has a lesson for you: 2 years ago the liberals called the left to vote for them in order to prevent the far right from getting elected.

For 2 years the liberals governed with the leaning to far right - right. The far right applauded many of their policies.

This Sunday the far right went first in the European election, because the left was a bunch of clowns and everyone hates the liberal government.

1h after the results, the Liberal president Macron disbanded the parliament. Now there are 3 weeks to elect a new parliament. He also opted for a vote that favors the biggest, so the far right is favoured, and there's no time for a campaign and barely enough time for the left to unite. The president is also still saying on TV that the left is just as bad and as extreme as the far right.

We didn't see it coming, but the liberal who pretended he would fight the far right is the first accelerationist in France. It is chaos right now, and the far right has never been so close from being in power in France since 1944. The 5th Republic is almost a presidential regime btw, so if the far right has the power, it'll be very dirty.

Trust the liberals they said, it's better than the far right...

Il a ptêtre vu le résultat des européennes sinon. Le but du pcf est de continuer à exister après tout non ?

J'ai comme l'impression qu'il ne voulait pas laisser le temps à la gauche de réfléchir...

Temps pour que le PS trahisse*

Well, considering the scales, the difference is not only imperceptible, I'm pretty sure it's impossible to measure.

The glory of a two parties system. The liberals even call this democracy.

I would like for Russia to fail miserably, but HERE I'm afraid it's not as stupid as it could. Ukraine is notoriously low on ammunitions, so extending the active front line can deplete those supplies faster. I would expect Russia to try to deplete those supplies in order to force the front line where a shortage appears first. And they need to do it before the supplies come from the US, which is already starting to come. So it's basically a window of opportunity.

If they concentrated on one place only, the Ukrainian supplies would last much longer.

I expect the massive Russian offensive to slow down in June once the US supply lines are established again.

But maybe I'm wrong. If Russia continues to push hard like this through June and after, I'll be wrong. Unless they try to really push through western supplies themselves. That would be insane but possible I guess.

People mistaken fun and trivializing.

The game is balanced around being difficult, so that you need your team and stratagems (weapons included) to beat it.

When you get a new overpowered weapon, it feels great because the game is so hard/tedious otherwise. But it is actually an overpowered weapon.

The game already works like this. Automatons and terminids behave extremely differently, and push for very different weapons. And in each faction some enemies will be more easily dealt with with specific weapons.

Two infamous examples are the berzerker bot and the stalker bug. Control weapons (weapons with high stagger) trivialise them. But most people don't use these weapons, and thus those enemies are among the most hated ones by the community.

You are describing balance, actually. If all weapons are viable and you're not punished for using one instead of another, it means that they each have their niche or they're balanced well. And the balancing target is the enemy.

It's easier to balance in a pve game because the AI behave predictably and have known stats. Tweaking AI and enemies is a good tool for pve balance, but only as it can allow some mechanics to be viable. Tweaking enemies will do nothing to balance weapons between themselves.

There is another balancing bullet too : making the game so easy that the relative power of weapons between themselves doesn't matter. But it cannot work with HD2 because the game is supposed to be hard.

Sony changed its faq during the debacle. May the 3rd it was stated that psn was optional to play on pc. May the 4th it was stated that some games may require it. The game also allowed you to play without psn account, and there was a button programmed in the game to skip the link. There was no information that it was a temporary bypass anywhere.

I don't know why you support Sony on this kind of bullshit. You don't seem very informed about all the problems there were.

You brought the EULA thing. This is the legal argument. And it's plain worthless.

Most people will never buy a Sony game ever again.
