I also play Rise right now, this game holds up incredibly well graphically for a ten year old game (the first one slightly less so).

Agreed, but Mary McDonnell as the mother is also absolutely amazing.

Cool, a Dead-Internet-Browser, right on time for Halloween. Spooky!

I don’t trust anything coming out of Elon’s fascisthole. Deleted the app when he bought it and never looked back.

So wait, migrants at fault for being ripped off by greedy landlords? Is that from the same guys claiming woman ask to be raped?

China is in a win-win-win situation. If Russia loses, China wins. Likewise when Ukraine/Europe loses. And a weakened US also just plays into their hands. They are nobody’s friends but everbody’s potential ally.

Pfannkuchen!

Oh, he does say truthful things occasionally. Like “I don’t stand by anything”, “I love the poorly educated” or “I’m going to be a dictator on day one”.

Ah, see, counting. That’s where you have already lost 'em.

The letter about hating the sea was written just after or at the end of his five year voyage on the Beagle. So, understandable.

Rob Bottin, who was responsible for the effects, was only 21 when he did them! He also worked himself into hospital care with exhaustion, double pneumonia and a bleeding ulcer and was the one who came up with the idea of the Thing not having a definitive form.

There is even a chapter of one of the two expansions where Jessie returns, in a prequel of sorts to Control.

Alan Wake 2 is the direct sequel to both Alan Wake and Control so you should definitely get it if you liked Control. There is also a Control-centric expansion for AW2 just as there was an Alan Wake expansion for Control.

I recently played through both Alan Wakes and Control with all the expansions and it’s an AWEsome experience on par with playing through the Mass Efect trilogy IMO.

May you live in times that are times.

No, it’s a nickname he has more than earned though (It means Cunt-Fritz). Among other things, he is known for voting against making rape in a marriage punishable by law in 1997.

I have been to Japan last year and one of the first things I noticed is that even in Tokio, one of the most densely populated places on the planet, there aren’t that many cars on the streets considering the amount of people. Most people walk and use public transport (which is absolutely amazing, relatively cheap but punctual like a clockwork).

I wouldn’t be surprised if that is a huge factor together with the healthy, fish-and-rice heavy food. I haven’t seen a single overweight Japanese person on my visit.

Also, thanks to the practice of broadcast syndication, new series were often given at last 3-4 seasons to run even if the ratings weren’t great at first since it was more profitable to get the series to around 80 to 100 episodes then to cancel it early.

She was already a joke in German politics. Everybody in Germany breathed a sigh of relief when she left. She was being clearly groomed as a candidate for cancellor but screwed it up by being too corrupt even for the deeply corrupt CDU.

Fascist countries always eat themselves rather quickly. Trump seems hellbent on speedrunning this.

Honestly, me too, clock, me too.
