I recall they accidentally went live with them and they appeared on everyone's maps for [some time less than an hour, I don't remember]. They then abruptly disappeared.

Netflix add and remove stuff without fanfare all the time. What do you mean "quietly added"? Are we expecting announcements?

Well, yes. Preferential voting is one key component, the other being a decent media so the public have an idea of what's going on. Unfortunately Murdoch owns just about everything, and it's a problem we're still battling against.

*Sie. No wonder it doesn't make sense.

Y'all need to walk more! 20 min is only about 2 km, or 1.4 miles in funny units. That's not far man.

When I was younger I binged a lot of Alistair MacLean. To continue the list with some of my other favourites:

The Satan Bug

The Golden Rendezvous

The Dark Crusader

The Last Frontier

Ice Station Zebra

Fair warning though: he's quite formulaic and it is not recommended to finish one of his books then start another. Read a couple of books inbetween to give yourself a break.

And this is how I, a foreigner, know the sun has risen over the US.

This aspect of gaming really annoys me. I'm old enough to have played games for months or years because I just enjoyed playing the game. This notion of unlocking shit, seasons, cosmetics etc, whilst fun to be rewarded for, should be a minor reason for playing a game. Once I've unlocked everything in Helldivers I'm likely to continue playing regardless because I find it fun - to the point where I'm not sure exactly what everyone is complaining about. So they unbalanced a weapon to make it a shadow of its former self, just use something else you sook. The tiny attention span of people these days does my head in.

Not sure on the reason for the downvotes here. My understanding is they marketed it very poorly and they brought a hero shooter to a saturated market without adding anything new
