I must admit, this is quite cool! I doubt I’ll be buying it, as I have no particular need for this kind of mobility enhancement, but I’m sure there are plenty of people who could greatly benefit from equipment like this. This collaboration has the potential to greatly boost sales, which down the road will mean more money and effort being put into this technology becoming more widely available.
And imagine getting this thing as part of your Collector’s Edition!
I have a strong feeling they will focus on the battle of Harvest. It would be interesting to see the start of the conflict, the glassing of the planet, and how humans try to figure out of what to do from there and how it ties into Reach/Halo CE.
Looks like a game with potential. I like the aesthetic, and the music reminds me a bit of Forever Winter. Mick Gordon is a name that carries with it a lot of respect, considering how he handled being in a drama with Doom Eternal.
To your point about being a police officer, I have a feeling that’s where the title of the game comes into play? A defecting police officer sounds like quite a story!
“Its implementation could jeopardize existing and future investments, employment, and compliance with recent trade agreements,”
Jfc, they think they know best, and threaten with “here’s your potential future if you don’t agree with us”.
"Venture Global is grateful for the Trump administration’s final approval of CP2, a critical project that will supply American allies with low-cost LNG for decades, support thousands of jobs and greatly benefit the US balance of trade,” Sabel said.
And they’re vastly overestimating their prospects, having a mentality of “the US is the greatest nation!”.
I have hopes that these people in power will eventually stop their high-horse ravenous capitalism, but I imagine that day will only come after my lifetime…
[Meta] This is a great high-quality comment with proper references! I personally really appreciate the effort of elaborating on media articles that are often sensationalist or clickbaity. Keep up the good work!
Both of these games are very well made, but they both cater to a special type of gamer.
Elden Ring being incredibly well designed as an introduction to souls-likes, it still has the mechanics and difficulty like most of From Software’s games, with slight variation. If you’re not a gamer who likes overcoming a challenge, the game is likely not for you.
Death Stranding I think is quite the unique game, but much thanks to its weirdness. It has a lot of curious elements to it, but its incredibly story heavy. With different difficulty options you can make it a very casual experience, but it can be quite slow at times still. If you don’t like several dozen hours of cutscenes, the game might not be for you.
[Defense Department] information must be approved for public release by an appropriate authorizing official before it is released, even if it is unclassified
This is ambiguous, and can be applied to any and all information acquired through the Defense Department.
Officials indicated the move was needed because any unauthorized disclosure “poses a security risk that could damage the national security of the United States and place [Defense Department] personnel in jeopardy.
Isn’t this exactly what constitutes the need for information to be classified?
So ultimately, what is the purpose of letting journalists in at all? To give a false sense of transparency?
It is reasonable to assume, indeed. Though in the bigger picture - long term - I think the pros outweigh the cons wrt. letting tourists in. The espionage will happen a lot regardless, only to a slightly lesser degree if we were to ban tourism, I imagine.
I think the answer to your second paragraph is a mix of corruption and conflicting ethical values (freedom of speech). Showing any form of double standard is know to be very potent propaganda ammunition, after all.
This is very reasonable of Navalnaya. I concur, that further isolating ordinary citizens will only make the bubble of propaganda and misinformation within Russia grow, which is to no one’s benefit.
Even if it’s a hard pill to swallow, given the hatred circulating, we should aim to help the common people whom show their dissent towards Kremlin, as they are yet another way of curbing Kremlin’s power. And all the political tension considered, who would want to travel the EU as Russian tourists these days, apart from those who have a positive perspective of the EU?
Can recommend Fairphone for exactly this.
I just gave it a go, and it’s painfully simple. Nevertheless charming and fun though! With the links provided the learning curve is very flat, so this is perhaps something to introduce to kids too.
Nice find! Just crossposted it
I might get downvoted for this, as I know the emotions are strong in this topic, but I’ll try and voice my humble opinion once again:
The Russian PEOPLE are not my enemy, KREMLIN is! And I don’t need stickers to tell me this. There are plenty of reports coming from independent journalists all over of not only the horrors that Kremlin motivates soldiers to commit in Ukraine, but what Kremlin is doing even towards civilians inside Russia! There’s a reason for the mass emigration and protests across Russia when this conflict first broke out, and that is that most of the people do not want unnecessary conflict. The Russian people suffer more and more, and also want this to end.
As long as Kremlin and its supporters are allowed to abuse their power however, the suffering will continue, so no mercy for them.
While I can agree with the sentiment (we’re living in an unforgiving world), I also believe it’s a big matter of perspective. There is good in the world, and losing sight of it will easily land you on the highway to rumination. So as helpful as these drugs are for the biological addiction, the psychological one is a different yet vital chapter of a healthy mind (which can also be assisted by drugs).
I feel like a lot of comments here suffers from The Paradox of Tolerance.
This is about a minister setting down their foot on what degree of tolerance outside of cultural and societal norms this country should have. Just like any other country. Look at for example at Afghanistan, Japan, and Estonia - are they any different? Better or worse?
Other players who have walked the same path will affect your world positively, but only after walking it alone first (and connected the region to the network).
It greatly depends on what kind of games you like playing. I’ve personally greatly enjoyed both the 1st and 2nd game.
If you enjoy a good, long, story with strange and novel elements, the game is for you.
If you enjoy a peaceful game you can play for hours traversing increasingly difficult terrain, with the help of creative use equipment and other players’ previous efforts, the game is also for you.
Game mechanics are refined, facial animations are emotional, and the game maintains a sense of novelty throughout the game, imho.
If you’re easily bored (desiring action), or can easily find things to become repetitive or tedious, the game is probably not for you, as there is a lot of walking in the game.
As with every monthly update, comes a monthly colossal thank you! You’re doing awesome and impressive work, operating with clarity, transparency, and a noble intent! Keep up the fantastic work, as it yields great results also for an ever-growing healthy community!
That’s a pretty good deal! It’s a huge game (some say too big), but if you don’t mind a bit of repetetiveness, this would get you a lot for the money
