French one is actually mostly correct, but the expression is not used that much

OG one. I think you’re right, I forgot because that year went by fast but I received it the next year

Are you from the US ? I procrastinated my preorder and did it a week after they opened them, and I think I got in wave 2 (western Europe).

Might be one of these mattresses with a “break” in the middle so they fold better.

Yes there was drama, but I feel like you’re downplaying just how bad they overpromised and underdelivered. As a huge CDPR fan since The Witcher 2, (I even preordered TW3 collectors edition the first day it was available for preorder, even though I usually don’t preorder). That release eroded a lot of the trust I had in them, even though I didn’t preorder this one since I could smell the bs from miles away.

I actually got the game for like 6 bucks on Steam during the last sale and I’m now having a blast playing through the actually stable and release-ready version. But I feel like I can still see the scars of the rushed development on the game’s main story progression. Like, I’m convinced that act 1 was supposed to be much longer and more fleshed out. Because I can’t explain why a game that has quite literally the most immersive dialogue sequences in the entire industry (in a gigantic open world FPS, of all things) would have you watch a montage of you doing a bunch of cool things with a very cool character instead of actually having you playing through them. Also you can’t convince me that montage was literally supposed to be a vertical slice of act 1 but they had to “salvage” it and actually put it 1:1 in the game because they were legally on the hook for releasing it as an early story trailer with a giant “scenes captured in engine” text.

They might go back on the “preorder worthy” list if they can abstain from blowing up the next game’s hype to the moon and ride it regardless of the actual state of development. And burning out all their best talent on crunch death marches.

Edit: oh, also I have to rant about this trend I’m seeing a lot recently where uninformed gamers are now blaming the… publisher for all of this, apparently not realizing that they are self-published.

They also granted the head of Unit 731 immunity (specifically from the USSR who rightly wanted him executed) in exchange for the human experimentation data.

“Experimentation” data that was entirely useless, if I remember correctly.

As far as I know they can all act as a bootleg external wifi adapter though (via USB sharing)

I’m having a lot of fun playing mount and blade : bannerlord. The combat is satisfying and the game has quite a lot of depth. It can be a bit overwhelming but I think it’s worth the 2h attempt. For the power fantasy part : get good at polearms and riding, get yourself a glaive, optionally download the mod that allows you to hit several enemies with a single swing and mow down lines of infantry with each charge.

Also, blizzard bad but Diablo is fun

So is that watch gottem

My phone is more accurate

CMS is arguably worse than AZERTY. Or maybe l’m just too used to AZERTY…

French here, after having to buy a Canadian laptop I can confirm I didn’t go back to the french layout. Also the “english (Canada)” locale usually has sane regionalization options (like DD/MM date and distance in meters or kilometers, celsius temperature…) compared to the other English ones

Children could also swallow the toothpaste. Not a huge deal if they do it once but iirc it can be pretty dangerous in the long run

I think I literally just had it happen again, not even because of windows update but by having windows “delete” a partition that I wanted to reclaim on my Linux install (in the process of moving Linux and windows to completely separate drives)

I think that’s a weak attack, if only because the tankie instances heavily really on it too

GameCubes also had ATI GPUs. Never heard of any issues with these

I thought government grants would make up a big portion of their income, but according to Wikipedia, 98% of the money they received in 2019 was from donations.

So, yeah, it sounds like they really know how to get people to donate

Uh ? What’s wrong about that ? These are basically generalized romeo&Juliet laws.

The highlighted age is that from which a young person can lawfully engage in a non-commercial sexual act with an older person, regardless of their age difference. If a participant in a sexual act is under 18 but above the age of consent then sexual acts with another person who is at or over the age of consent may still be illegal if the older participant is in a position of authority over the younger person.

Despite what the text says, here in France, being over 18 while the other person is not can often be enough to be considered in a position of authority btw

Whoops, thanks, that makes more sense

Is that an Egyptian flag on France ?
