Hamas official says group would lay down its arms if an independent Palestinian state is established (apnews.com)

A top Hamas political official told The Associated Press the Islamic militant group is willing to agree to a truce of five years or more with Israel and that it would lay down its weapons and convert into a political party if an independent Palestinian state is established along pre-1967 borders.

Israel controls the maritime space in front of and air space over Gaza, the anagraphical and fiscal systems and the access of goods and people.

Helldivers 2’s Politics Appear To Be Flying Over The Heads Of Some (www.forbes.com)

There is currently a very funny, kind of sad dust-up over Helldivers 2, in which self-proclaimed “anti-woke” gamers have previously heralded it as a rare game where they believe “politics” does not play a factor. Their faith was been shaken by an Arrowhead community manager they believed they found to be (gasp)...

biofaust,

Just finished Full Void, a pixel graphics cinematic puzzle platformer in the style of Another World. Cool original soundtrack, nice style and animation, great atmosphere and world building despite no words.

2 hours long main story, cool indie project with great attention to detail. Well worth the money.

If you play it you will be surprised who it is dedicated to, as you can read at the end of the game.

biofaust,

I recommend this game to anyone who has only played AAA games as a gateway drug to indie games.

biofaust,

The problem is the kind of stuff the industry tries to take shortcuts on.

I decided to apply some filters in my choices and quality of entertainment went up by a lot:

  1. No Open World
  2. No Multiplayer-focused
  3. Has to be a valuable experience on Easy
  4. (Of course) no prepaid and no Early Access
  5. No VR-compatible

Other than that, I am a patient gamer, I play all kinds of genres, just a bit less on the RPG and strategy side, and I like to support Indie developers by paying their games full price and kickstarting them.

I am ok with playing short games if the experience and polish is there and I never do completions. I also buy very few DLCs and only if they add single player campaigns.

Do this and I am quite sure you will fall in love with gaming again.

biofaust,

I stay away from driving simulators mostly because I hate cars in general, unless it’s Quarantine or Carmageddon.

Making something VR compatible games pushes towards certain design choices that empoverish the desktop experience.

I have heard great things of Senua’s Sacrifice, but I downprioritized it for years now exactly due to that design aspect.

biofaust,

My guess is I have way fewer friends than you

biofaust,

Let’s offer a sacrifice to GabeN, preventively.

biofaust,

Half life or Half life 2.

biofaust,

I don’t how old you are, but the first one was the first very big implementation of scripted scenes. To see something happening in an FPS as in a movie was mind-blowing.

The second one is just absurdly well designed. And the visuals are imbued of this Eastern European architecture and vibe that right now, walking the streets of Warsaw, I am gladly breathing in.

biofaust,

I strongly doubt it can be a defining game as the other 2 were and are. Plus, for me, there is attrition in the need to use a non-polished control system.

biofaust,

Because that’s not the question.
