I'm currently playing Desolate. It's a first-person open-world survival game with a heavy STALKER vibe, although more melee-heavy. Looks pretty decent and plays well. The atmosphere is great.

Woodchippers aren't efficient enough. That's why you have to think big, like Trump when he signed that combine harvester.

With a nose like that he could sniff twice as many children as Biden in half the time!

Notice how they don't mention the political alignment of the ruling Union por la Patria coalition that fucked up the country. Yet they mention it for everyone else. Hint: they're communists and socialists.

It's a tale as old as time: the left fucks up the economy and the right fixes it.

All their other fake news was ok, though. But don't you dare make Israel look bad!

Probably found out they voted for Trump.

Yea, seems like a based move.

He'll never win as an independent. The only question is: how many votes will he siphon off of Trump and Biden?

With this statement it'll likely be more potential Biden voters.

There's also a lot of competition on PC. If you want to distribute a game you can choose Steam, GOG, Epic, to a lesser extent Uplay and Origin or you can just do it on your own website.

On consoles, as I understand it, there's only one publisher/distributor. Everything has to go through Microsoft, Sony or Nintendo.

Physical media has been dead for a long time on PC. What you see in stores are just zombies, empty shells with an online key.

Once they kill off physical games for good, expect prices to ramp up even more

On PC the opposite happened. We've been all digital for decades. The "physical" cases are just glorified CD-keys and you can't resell them. Prices have actually gone down due to all the sales.

Personally I prefer digital with the huge caveat "on PC" because it's so easy to download, crack and archive games on an external harddrive. Saves a lot of physical space, ensures I can still run them when the distribution service goes tits up and reselling used games isn't worth it anyway with steep sales due to healthy competition among countless online stores.

I like it. Sounds like a great way for Netflix to waste large sums of money that they can't use to produce more shitty shows.

Based on the recent lootings and riots by "youths" it's a good idea to warn the general public when there's a black child on the loose.

Yea, in season 3 they brought in female writers whose only qualification was being female. That's not even some "right-wing conspiracy theory". They said so themselves. Of course that's when the writing fell off a cliff.

let's unpack that

Nope. Red flag. I'm out.

Yea, we need remigration on a large scale.

Archer turned into a total current-year shitshow with the latest season.

They introduced a new main character and of course it's an ethnic woman who is better at everything than everyone else. Brown girlboss time!

The Rotten Tomatoes score reflects that: 100% critic score, 40% audience.

I'm in the same boat as OP but with Archer: after viewing the first episode of season 14, I'm done with the franchise.

next to no women as head of state

Thank god.

Do we need more women like Merkel who ruined Germany and Europe? Do we need more like Jacinda Ardern who ran like a rat fleeing the sinking ship and who's so hated she totally tanked her party even after she fled? Do we need more women like Germany's foreign minster Baerbock who has the mental capacity of a 3 year old? Or that corrupt harpy von der Leyen?

Hey at least you still got Turdeau.

These globalists don't care what the people think. They don't have to because they control the media, the education system and social media. They tell the people what to think.

As I understand it not enough voted on it so the result is moot. Needed something like 60% to count.

Neverwinter Nights 1 and 2 and their expansions are IMHO the best CRPGs ever. That said they're a bit dated by today's standards. They'll probably run on any recent-ish laptop, though.

ELEX

That game has probably the worst difficulty progression of all games I've played. The first 5-10 hours are brutal. Can't even fight a chicken without getting torn to shreds. Then it levels off rather abruptly and balance is quite good for a long time and towards the end you get really OP.

IIRC bows were the strongest weapons, which is weird when you have laser guns and stuff like that. Because of the armor vs damage system the higher the damage per hit the better.

Only reason I kept going was because the world is really well built and interesting and once you get through the initial shitshow it's really fun. But damn those first hours are a mess.

They (the FDP) are whatever-gets-them-into-power "libertarians".

They are currently in a coalition with eco-fascists and socialists and vote for whatever those do as long as they get a ministerial post, even if it means they'll betray their own voters.

I like cutscenes but that whole "slow walk" thing really is infuriating. I absolutely hate it.

The worst part is when you can't just take a bathroom break and return when the NPC reached its goal. They just stop and stare at you until you press walk.

Either let me play or make it an actual cutscene.

It's a lazy-ass way for exposition without having to animate or choreograph anything. If you want to cheap out make it a radio transmission or some other background voiceover.

With Confederation they only have ~43%. That's a razor-thin margin to uphold a veto, assuming final results don't get any worse.

What are the odds those 43% actually all agree? If they have anything like RINOs in the US or libertarians in Germany (both love voting for the left), getting over 60% sounds easy enough for the government. Plus, a veto isn't something they can do every time leftists do leftist shit.

Do we have the official narrative on why they won?

Just ask Soros. He's writing the official narrative. He bought big into Polish media a couple of years ago.
