No, I don’t think it’s as simple as that. Politics are good in games when done right, but they can also be nothing more than a distraction when the narrative has huge errors or lacks and depth in general.

It’s toast.

Stell dir vor du bist so korrupt, dass du mir nichts, dir nichts aus deiner Partei austrittst, nur um weiter Minister zu bleiben, damit du deine Geschäftspartner behältst, die dich im Amt brauchen. Wenn das nicht der beste Beweis dafür ist, dass die Wirtschaft den Typen tief in der Tasche hat, weiß ich auch nicht.

Obwohl ich Trump nichts abgewinnen kann, finde ich, dass Europa an dem Debakel aber die Hauptschuld trägt. Man muss sich selbst verteidigen können. Das haben Parteien wie die CDU leider komplett vergessen und vernachlässigt.

First big tech slapped “powered by AI!” on everything and now - a mere 2 years later - it has been exposed as nothing but a safety risk without a tangible benefit, they’re trying their best to hide it’s mere existence while still dumping it into everything. They just can’t help it.

So go home.

Either way, it’s a catastrophy for the european economy. The past 5 years will feel like a walk in the park compared to what’s to come if Trump follows up on his promises. We’re talking about mass migration like we haven’t seen in 80 years and inflation that’s magnitudes worse than we’ve seen the past couple years. I’m almost looking forward to our elections next year in Germany because right wing will almost certainly win and then crumble under the pressure of what’s likely to come.

Great now let me play my WWHD for WiiU on the switch. I’m waiting.

Whether it has terrible dialogue, too many bugs, lacking in technical prowess, cost way too much to make or is simply too preachy. It all boils down to a single problem: corporate suits sucking the soul out of the project, devoiding it of any passion one could possibly have. It looks, feels and smells like an empty shell of a game because that is exactly what it is. Nothing stands out because every decision was calculated with the goal to moderately please everyone in the room, resulting in compromises stacked on compromises all the way down.

The often sloppily implemented progressiveness in these products quickly starts to look like an afterthought. Perhaps to shield themselves from criticism after they realized what they’ve created or maybe they slapped it on when they realized their story has literally nothing to say about anything and is a hollow shell of a product.

Whatever the case, soulless slob does more harm than good to anything their creators associate it with, so I totally get why someone wouldn’t even want to read about that aspect of the game in a review. It’s just one more of several symptomps of a bad product.

Isn’t .org reserved for non-profit websites though? At least on the basis of internet etiquette? Some .io websites I know are completely monetized and about making money. And of course not everyone can afford a .com domain with a cool name right off the bat.

You nailed to describe my frustration with Frontier perfectly. They really are the EA of Zoo and Theme Park games to the point I’m not buying their games anymore even when they’re well made on a technical level and interesting to me. They’re just way too greedy.

What’s next? Temu as your default search engine? The hotline to your nearest car dealership? Maybe just sit a tea leaf reader next to your desk to answer your questions. The possibilities are endless!

It also builds coal power plants. How is it going to reduce emissions exactly?

That was only for businesses that for whatever reason couldn’t update to Win10. Normal users weren’t eligible to get milked.

Sounds like they’re about to get sued by the EU because they’re basically asking you to pay again for a product you have already paid for. Discontinuing a service that was advertised as the “last windows you’ll ever need” is one thing, but sending you another bill on a whim is something entirely different. Microsoft might just have ensured the longevity of Win10 for the foreseeable future without making much if any profit from it.

And that seems to be the general consensus on the term screen time. Most of the time they only assume social media on a mobile phone specifically, leaving out TVs, game consoles or even desktop PCs or Laptops. And by they I mean journalists, content creators themselves and of course scientists who release studies. It’s very ironic because all of those groups accumulated screen time to release their findings.

Right? I was just thinking that entire countries run on chips so it sort of sounds about right at least.

Death to Ubisoft. Let’s make an example out of them by simply laughing from the sidelines while they bury themselves.

Do you honestly believe the USSR honored it’s constitution? There were referendums because the dictator at the time decided to allow it. If Putin or Stalin were in charge at the time, this wouldn’t have happened just like the decades of suppression and exploitation prior. It’s very disrespectful and somewhat unhinged to claim all those vassal states had a choice all along and wanted to be part of the soviet union just because they were granted the privilege in the very end when the regime lost it’s grip anyway. The truth is Moscow couldn’t hold them together for much longer. Most of those states would just revolt even more so than they already did anyway.

Because yes, of course they tried to free themselves in the past but didn’t have the means to do so previously. Similarly, Russia’s vassal states today have no choice, as all elections and referendums are only for show and all leaders are installed by the Kreml.

Long story short: Constitutions in autocracies are worth as little as the paper they’re written on.

I don’t like the question because Putin being a good guy is unthinkable to me. Good guys aren’t in Russian politics, or at least not for long. But let’s say Russia had a halfway decent leadership where smart guys don’t fall out of windows. With their vast landmass, resources and workforce, they could easily be the third largest economy in the world again instead of not even making it into the top ten on their way to fall behind Mexico.
