I was curious just how many people actually live in South Dakota, just so that I could have a point of reference for the 37.8% statistic. Basically, it’s roughly the same amount of people as the population of New Orleans or half the population of Washington DC that agree with her. What an empty state.
One of the Arrowhead community managers said they’re trying to get more information regarding regions, so it kinda seems like they weren’t fully prepared for this/got blindsided by Sony a bit. There should be an FAQ/QA with additional info coming soon.
It’s like the people who used to put messages about preventing Facebook from using their content in their profile descriptions. It probably won’t actually do anything, but it’s a nice thought and more power to them if it makes them feel better.
The main story is basically Journey with friends and cosmetics. It expands a bit as you complete each area, easing you into more difficult/spookier content, but it never gets too complex.
There’s also a bunch of secret stuff to find and all of the older seasonal stuff that remains after they ended.
China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Tuesday that Beijing would “strengthen strategic cooperation” with Moscow during a meeting with his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov....
They have a pretty long history of publicly claiming to be best buddies but not-so-secretly despising each other and eyeing each other’s territory.
IIRC it was also commonly thought the Soviet Union and PRC were buddies because Communism but they each claimed to be the true successor to Marx’s ideology and denounced the other as inadequate.
Might be misremembering some parts, it’s been a while since I studied this.
There is no evidence for former President Donald Trump’s repeated claims that “the Congo” has emptied prisons to allow violent criminals to come to the US border as migrants – and the governments of both the Democratic Republic of Congo and the neighboring Republic of Congo say Trump’s assertions are entirely false....
It sounds like one of Trump’s speech writers managed to concoct a double whammy that panders to both great replacement conspiracy theorists and border security idiots. Has anyone seen Stephen Miller recently?
The last time the Mongolians decided to expand their horizons, it didn’t work out so well for a decent chunk of the rest of the world. I think it’s perfectly fine they choose to keep things simple, tbh.
Talos Principle 2 is fantastic from start to finish and makes you feel smart. I’d say playing the first one is a must in order to really enjoy it. The dlc, Road to Gahenna, is skippable. Most people I’ve talked to find they already own the first one somehow and just never got around to playing it.
Viewfinder was also good but felt kind of short. It’s priced fairly, though, so it’s worth a try.
Ghost Trick was really really good on the ds, not sure how well it translates to pc but the reviewer liked it. Some part of its charm was the interaction with the stylus. If it goes on sale, absolutely pick it up.
It’s possible. It’s definitely a game that asks a lot of the player to get immersed in the underlying story. Lots of relatively dense philosophical excerpts to read in the terminals. That’s on top of lore-related text to read which really fleshes out the pretty dark story they’re telling. Then there are the puzzles which might not be everyone’s thing.
The second game improves this greatly by moving the majority of the story out of text and into voiced dialogue with NPCs and a few cutscenes. The jump from the Serious Sam engine to UE5 is pretty mind-blowing in terms of graphics. I think there’s going to be a third one, as well?
If the game can’t suck you in, I’d at least recommend looking up the story. It’s pretty neat.
