It’s for screens in the back to keep the kids occupied while the driver plays candy crush saga.


People, as individuals or groups, are complicated. And annoying. This is such a pain to deal with… Don’t wanna. Bleh.


You know, the loudest homophobes are often revealed as closeted homosexuals.

You are also very loud in your opinion. You should probably reexamine yourself.


I’m advocating that you stop making excuses for yourself.


You’re right, both sides aren’t the same. One side has devolved into foregoing what we like to think of as humanity because they have a boner for hate and the other makes excuses on why degrading themselves to the same level isn’t the same.

It’s a play on words. I’ll skip the nuances and get right down to the core, “they started murdering people, so I’m murdering them back”. But here’s the thing, killing is still killing, even in self-defense. No matter how many justifications, running away from this concept only serves to bring you ever closer to the mentality of the other side.

The very simplified “both sides” is alluding to the idea that both are very much willing to give up empathy, ethics and law if it means getting rid of the opposite side. The selective application of these three concepts is what bridges you together in a way that makes an outside observer say “so similar, they might as well be the same” a.k.a. “both sides”.

No exception to empathy, no exception to ethics, no exception to law, no matter how saintly and no matter how evil.





Played Sniper Elite V2. At first i thought it was the first Sniper Elite remade, but it’s actually about the V2 missile program. Weird, I know. My best achievement in the game that for some silly reason isn’t an achievement has to be randomly hitting an NPC in both testicles. Beats 3 heads in a row by a longshot.

Wonder if one can hit 6 nuts in a row or might it be too much to ask for? …

Anyway, in Old World, Assyria declared war on me because I was weak and then spent dozens of years doing nothing, which allowed me to build up an army. They had slingers and warriors, I had spearmen. Turns out when your units pierce into the second row, spit roasting your enemies can be an effective strategy, if you manage to position them properly. First time conquering an enemy in this game.

But I’ll probably quit soon because just as in the Civilization games, I fail at being the conquering type. Sorry Assyria, the game made me do it.

Looking to go through my library, my next try will probably be Airborne Kingdom. While I lack the imaginative creativity I’ve seen others achieve, i believe my floating bucket of bolts will nonetheless stick to the skies as i peacefully wander about that weird little world.


“its absolute limits”

So how many sexual kinks are we talking here? If there’s none, then the game is nowhere near the genre’s current absolute limits.


Got into Old World. I have zero planning and just roll with it, which led me to start a war against Egypt with my 4 elephants and several axemen thinking i was hot stuff. Egypt had 3 onangers nested on hills, a dozen pikemen and a random ballista.

I was annihilated from the militaristic point of view.

Still won the match through ambitions though since they happened to be a match with what I still had going for me.

I was annoyed though. They were doing 8-10hp damage per hit at times and i was only doing 3. My small army went from hot to not in only a few turns and i couldn’t figure out why. Turns out i just suck at it.

Anyway, if you’ve played Civilization, you’ll easily see the influence. The card and character randomness can be fun or frustrating and you might find yourself wondering at times why your resources aren’t growing as high as you were expecting them to. Better watch for that discontent!

I only have the base game so no comment on the DLCs.


It’s the developers or publishers themselves that shouldn’t hold these kind of expectations. Because it’s when they fail to hit a target that their enthusiasm fades and we’re left with a rushed project, abandoned halfway.



And if you’re looking for a game like this but more horny, there’s that type too. (Imperial Gatekeeper or something similar, forgot)






Tencent is supposedly low-key interested in buying something. It’s a rumour though so credibility is unknown.


Since it’s like a gladiator fighting unfair battles for the amusement of the player, I suggest we call it:

Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and loyal servant to the TRUE emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.

or Spartacus.



Windows 11 comes with OneDrive shortcuts replacing the local storage Documents folders by default. Nothing in those folders is saved locally, only online on Onedrive.

It’s a “feature” nobody asked for and Microsoft told no one about.


Buy from yurop. Second hand shops in every major city, can’t miss them. They stink of old.


Isn’t this the game that has a weird kernel anticheat which scrapes your entire PC every time it runs, hastening your storage device’s demise?


Yup. Waiting on those Skywind and Skyblivion mods to finish up, then I’m gonna put them into the base game and sell you a Tamriel Through the Ages bundle of joy.


But the companies don’t want you to resell it. They want to have you buy it over and over again until the end of time.


According to reviews, they cut out content, removed text chat, worsened quality and performance in other parts and added battle pass.

Can’t even say holy shit to this, it’s just shit.


No doubt that the artistic concepts were going to be great during development. Everything else though probably wouldn’t have been as pleasant.


Not sure about the lessons cost, but I think they were bundled and the shelter hogged most of the price. Also, Republicans make the best zombies so it would be like a dream come true for any purchaser.


They got the in game moves from experienced practitioners with which an agreement would have been made. So it’s not the Vidya games company that would have provided the parkour services, just one of their partners.

As for the custom zombie shelters, they were/are a thing that could be bought and/or built at some point.


According to the article, Rocksteady’s placed back on single player games and WB is planning on focusing on their main moneymaking IPs.

So there’s a chance something good might come out in a few years, but a lot of the old people seem to have left. Decision-making departments might be lacking experienced leaders and this might end up causing hiccups.

I’d say someone did learn something from this, but it might be too little, too late.




Random note: there’s a partial SecuRom hardcoded into the multiplayer and cannot be removed in any way, shape or form.

GOG has reviews or topics in the forum about the issue if details are required.


Hmm… Think they’re reworking the game to remove DEI content and change the main character to an orange old man?



Ever since I’ve been acquainted with the project some years back, they’ve been asking for more volunteers to contribute in order to speed up the process.

I guess at face value not many did.
