Yep, at this point, never actually releasing the game is part of the business model.

He probably started to become active in politics so he can create the UXA at some point.

They will cyberpunk this, because they also witchered Cyberpunk. As in “delivered less than promised and then mostly fixed it with patches”.

Not OP, but it’s a very good game that gets better the longer you play it. It more like Mass Effect than Dragon Age in many ways though, but the final stretch especially was almost on the same level as the suicide mission of ME2 IMO. Characters and gameplay are great, dialogue and level design could have been better and the only element that really sucked for me are the godawful outfits and weapons and lack of variation thereof.

So, padded with a lot of “free this camp” and “clear this part of the map”.

Isn’t that already a reality show starting in january?

The beatings will continue until morale improves!

They’re going to outsource that to AI-robots soon. And then I hope they malfunction.

Reminds me of the blue people who have too much silver in their bloodstream, like this guy: https://cdn.thecollector.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/blue-man-paul-karason.jpg?width=1400&quality=55

Also, I call bullshit on this. No way a commercially available skin dye would do something like this and it also wouldn’t dye more than the uppermost layer of the epidermis, which should renew itself fairly quickly. A few peelings should take care of it. Humans shed a lot of skin cells. That’s basically what dust is (and what dust mites eat) and why even the cleanest bed has tens of thousands of dust mites on it.

Because they read the books, but were fans of Sauron.

Yep, this will go down in the history books as an incredible feat of non-confrontative “silent” warfare by Putin against the entire West. If there are still history books in the future.

And actually has a really good, thought-out story.

Master plan, eh? Hopefully it’s the final one and also a solution to the problem…

Nature reclaims cities pretty quickly though.

Yes, but can you imagine how much more shitty PC gaming would be without Steam?

Yep, there will always be humans as long as there is literally anything we can hunt/forage and eat.

If that will resemble what we perceive as civilisation is another question entirely.

Bingo. There is no real historical proof that Arthur existed (that I know of), all historical mentions of him are likely themselves taken from already poetic sources.

Yep, his battery factory in Germany got into lots of PR trouble for poisoning ground water and having a three times higher rate of work related accidents then is normal.

Can’t wait for the Elden Ring hero shooter!

In the context of Germany, “liberal” means being for capitalism unbridled by the state but still generally progressive policies culturally, with more rights for minorities and such. The corresponding party is FDP. So in some ways it’s the exact opposite of the US idea of “liberal”.

Someone considered “left” would be for more social policies and government control of capitalism (traditionally SPD), extreme left would be following tenants of communism, opposed to the US and friendly with Russia (The party The Left and the new Sarah Wagenknecht party)

Someone considered conservative or “right” would be against social policies and try to reduce control of capitalism (CDU) extreme right would be plain fascists (AfD), ironically also aligned with Russia now.

The Greens are a special case, since they were originally a single issue party concerned with environmentalism, but since the SPD has largely vacated their social policies since Schröder was chancellor, they have become more and more the new “social” party.

There are also a huge number of smaller parties that are unable to reach more than five percent, which is necessary to be included in the govenmental body of the Bundestag. Most of those are single issue parties (there is even a beer party). The FDP has become so unpopular that it might also share that fate soon.

To come back to your original point, there were no “liberals” when Hitler was elected. There were conservatives, socialists and communists. The conservatives aligned themselves with the fascists and the socialists and communists were outlawed and thrown into jail/executed.
