Propaganda or not, I really hope poland does not soften their anti-russian attitude, else we'll be proper fucked in eastern europe

On the plus side, at least he's just as rusophobic and willing to arm-up as the other candidates, right? Right?

Fuckin' finally. This could actually help people trying to run fortnites and apexes and whatnot on steam decks.

I agree. However while incresed pricing isn't that big of a deal, I feel it comes at the end of a long chain of other penny-pinching methods, like gacha, mtx, pay2win, always online for data mining and so on. If this raise would've happened first, then you'd just have to buy a more expensive game and that would've been it. As it stands you're getting shafted on price as well as all the other crap ideas they had in the meantime.

Yeah, I was rounding things a bit. Great year for gaming

And some non-GOG gems, to continue this trend:

Elite: Dangeous - best space-sim out there, no other comes close. Also one of the few live-service games with a great community around it.

Anno 2205 - Seem by many as the black sheep in the anno series, it's still a great game with a fantastic future vibe.

Craft the world ( hey, it's also on gog ) - dwarf fortress like game

Civilization: Beyond Earth - Firaxis' attempt at a contemporary Alpha Centauri, based on the Civ 5 engine. Great game in itself, with some great ideas. Also gets a lot of hate for some reason.

Planetbase ( also on gog ) - Great space-colony builder

1800 did not have that nimby mechanic. Actually can't remember if any anno game had it ( maybe 1701 ). 1800 also did away with the separation between campaign and endless and just mooshed them together in what was one of the very few downsides of the game.

To me this one looks less like an anno and more like a contemporary Impressions city builder, but the potential is there. Fingers crossed that ubi doesn't stuff it full of anti-features.

Incompetent incumbent administration + russian propaganda + a lot of angry angry people after the cancelling of the first set of elections.

The funny thing is, we're still quite rusophobic. You'll find few people that approve of russia or putin. Russian talking points and propaganda however, that we gobble by the bucket.

Smartphones are common targets for thieves because they contain valuable personal data and fetch high prices on second-hand markets. To protect this data, Android includes theft protection features that lock down a stolen phone. While thieves might try wiping phones they intend to sell, Android already has robust protections against unauthorized factory resets. Google announced today that these factory reset protections will become even more powerful later this year.

Self-contradicting much?

These justifications are pointless anyway, everybody knows that google and only google has the right to rummage through your data.

"We will not allow you to reset the data until we can confirm that the data is yours"

Wtf kind of lazy attempt to normalize nuclear war is this, uk??? Jesus tapdancing christ

Damn antisemites are everywhere!

Not sure if gog has anything to do with privacy. Altho if it was on the list I imagine it'd be up there with steam ( not sure why that one's on the list either )

The "sovereignists" had about 30% of the parliament already, but I imagine it was the decision to cancel the first set of elections that tipped the scales. Heard of plenty of people that decided to vote Simion out of sheer spite after that stunt.

About as fair as you can hope for in this country, I suppose. I imagine the large parties pulled all the stops and still couldn't grab more than 20%. And I know they didn't covertly support Simion (yet) because last night they were pissed.

He'll probably sit on 40% of the votes by the end of the count. It's pretty fuckin grim.

Yup. Kadikoy in Istanbul

So now can we please get the other games that were supposed to launch in autumn?

OP updated the image. Latest one definitely looks like a naked neck

Yea, pretty sure this is AI gen
