Very interesting, thank you. I was wondering if that also happens in other countries. It is sadly the norm in Germany when reporting car accidents.

Sopranos memes are always appreciated!

The way we use antibiotics in meat production is very much in line with Mac’s way of thinking.

I’m intrigued. I just finished my second playthrough of Papers, Please and I’m ready for more tedious work!

It seems to be historically accurate at least: Wiki:

“The crossbow superseded hand bows in many European armies during the 12th century, except in England, where the longbow was more popular”

That said, I can understand your point. Aoe is not (and doesn’t need to be) historically accurate. How is it integrated in AoE4?

My mind also raced to Age of Empires 2. I love crossbows and arbalester, especially the Britons. Just a big ball of units sending a clear message across the map: stay away!

I got the first game a month ago and binged it in three sessions. It was a fantastic experience, and I rate the game highly. However, I wish the decisions you made had a more significant impact on the story. I understand that maintaining a great narrative can make this challenging, but I hope part 2 can expand on that aspect. From what I’ve heard, it sounds like it might offer more flexibility in choices. Regardless, I’ll probably enjoy it either way.

I like a lot of comics but Heathcliff is definitely not one of them.

No worries :)

That wasn’t me, but I found out about it relatively recently and I’m happy to share it.

Cows and other farm animals need a lot of food:

More than three-quarters of global agricultural land is used for livestock, despite meat and dairy making up a much smaller share of the world’s protein and calories. […] However, only half of the world’s croplands are used to grow crops that are consumed by humans directly. We use a lot of land to grow crops for biofuels and other industrial products, and an even bigger share is used to feed livestock.

Hahaha, I love that!

Sure, I merely gave an example. We agree on the point that a reduction in meat consumption would make sense from an economic standpoint. It surprises me that it is not more important to the EU or the governments to stimulate this change.

Certainly. Crazy to me is how much it costs and, therefore, how much could be saved by changing it. Imagine how much could be saved if most people followed a vegan diet for example. Alternatively, think about how much potential lab produced meat has.

Absolutely crazy considering 1/3 of the EU budget goes to the agricultural sector.

I had to look it up as well ;)

Titanium (22) is save to lick. Enjoy!

Finally, I might be able to improve my ELO!! One can dream…

I understood some of those words.

Aww, bummer. I’m hooked on it atm. Well, it’s not like it’s unplayable or anything. I’ll survive.
