I agree. I was so convinced it's a hero shooter/MOBA/whatever that I checked the description and was shocked it said single player RPG. Hell, I was surprised when it revealed there is a player character.

They 100% don't seem to realise what people liked about the games.

See the other reply about why the EU can't act. I'd just like to add context on the "why were they let in" front.

Hungary joined the EU in 2004. The country was more democratic back then. There were even some hopes of joining the Euro zone. Then the government of the time cocked up (basically their words), and Fidesz/Orbán, who were part of the anti-communist wave in 1989, gained a supermajority in 2010 and gradually rewrote the constitution and electoral system. Slowly eroded all the systems, took control of all the media, etc.

Not sure when they became Russia-friendly/controlled, but Hungary has been less democratic since 2010 and that's where the problems stem from. I genuinely wonder how much of it all was a Russian plot from the start and how much was opportunistic.

In places the article seems to imply they hadn't noticed Hungary was a problem before. It has been, for years, and not just in relation to Ukraine.

Openly buddying up with Russia isn't exactly new and should have raised red flags. Same with open hostility towards the EU. You can also add China there now too, so it's not like the problem is just Russia.

Sadly, I don't see things changing internally. People who support the opposition in Hungary are disillusioned and many of those who could have left. Most, if not all by now, media is owned by either the governing party or affiliates. The electoral system disproportionally rewards whoever gets a plurality, which will be Fidesz with the previous two points.

This has been developing for over a decade. Suggestions that this is something that is only now a problem shouldn't exist.

Also FFS, Russia has been managing to either control people in power all over the world (see: USA) or put their own people in power. Treat this as proper foreign action.

Ok, I might be misunderstanding here, but since committing changes is allowed for everyone, doesn't this mean fixing bugs is something you could do? You'd just be stuck with all the other rights as well until someone else makes a change.

As others said, it's not for everyone. The gameplay loop is and will remain repetitive.

For what it's worth, I hate horror but I generally just get surprised, not scared in this game. To me it's a game where you go in with the mindset that you'll likely die in some horrible way, but it'll make for a funny scene or story afterwards.

I'd actually recommend watching clips of people. Not big name YouTubers, just the random 5-60s clips people upload and figuring out if those sort of events would be things you'd laugh at or enjoy being part of yourself.

That's what Lewis mentioned specifically as well (emphasis mine):

I don’t feel a particular way. Whilst I really like Baku, it’s really a beautiful place, questions in my mind of whether the FIA is really actually thinking about sustainability because so many people flew out here and the FIA is in Paris and it just would have been easier to stay there.

This seems perfectly consistent with his stance of keeping F1 going as a global sport while minimising environmental impact (e.g.: due to travel, which is what he explicitly has issues with in the quote). What's worth a clown emoji here?

Do you have any examples of dubious sites they list? To my knowledge they take the legitimacy of the sites seriously, so it would be great to know if that's not the case.

isthereanydeal.com lists only legitimate retailers, no second hand/grey market sites. Not exclusively Steam though, so check on the site before purchasing (though usually every website will be selling Steam keys except like Epic Games Store, Microsoft Store, Ubisoft, EA Origin).

You can also link your Steam wishlist, set up alerts for when a game falls below a certain price, etc.

Man who publicly restricts his freedom has his freedom publicly restricted.

On a more serious note though: why is sharing his name and face necessary or even allowed? Seems like it'll result in consequences greater than what the court has deemed appropriate to dole out.

Haven't used it myself yet, but I've seen it recommended: the User Agent Switcher extension. It might fix some websites you have issues with?

ASCII survival isn't for everyone, but I do very much enjoy Cataclysm, Dark Days Ahead or Bright Nights depending on your preferences in realism.
