This feels like Romania, due to the general architecture and the fact that Uruses are goto cars for the "nouveau riche" over here.

Anyway, tell her to take great care OP. A 20yo in an Urus on romanian roads feels like a recipe for disaster.

I know there's some use cases, but it feels like they're pandering to smaller and smaller niches. But I suppose tablets are more and more niche these days.

And yeah, I know about the y700, it's a good device, but I've been looking for a nexus7-like device on and off for the past couple of years and find it fascinating that if you were to release it today if would blow most other tablets out of the water. A ten year old device ffs. Anyway, I mostly read stuff, so a 7-8 inch high-res budget tablet is the dream. I've done the compromises: a large tcl nxtpaper phone, an e-ink reader, a budget lenovo tab. They're just not the same tbh.

Why the fuck would you spend 800 euro on a 13", non-upgradeable tablet instead of, say, a laptop?

Apologies, I'm just bitter no one makes 8 inchers anymore.

Exploit it you say? Please get in line behind the russians, the chinese snd pretty much all arab countries

Giving in to blind hate against your neighbours does nothing but help trump's puppetmasters, who thrive on dividing allies. Keep calm and leave your elected officials do their jobs ( for now ).

Jesus Christ. Aaand of course it's worse than I imagined

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. But I wouldn't be surprised if it were actually the case. Nobody can quite match the russian state in their disdain for the russian people or their lives.

Definitely. He's really vibing with "boomers" that are nostalgic for our flavour of communism, even matching the speech cues. He's whacked in the head something special and, while we always had a percentage of voters ready to go for this type of character, now there's a lot more and they all behave like they're in a cult. Dark times ahead.

It's only ok when we do it, cause we're the good guys!

Sounds like the start of a beautiful democracy

Wow, leave it to redditors to make change without actually making change. A few of those subs had open discussions on instituting a ban and they discovered x links were in the dozens per year. Musk is definitely gonna feel that. What they should have done is ban all twitter images as well, those fuckers make up 3/4 of posts on /r/popular. Or ban/restrict musk news, because it feels like the remainng 1/4 posts are "news" that cover musk, including dozens of discussions on whether the nazi cheated in fucking videogames or not ( same as here come to think of it ). But no, they're addicted to those and unable to make meaningful changes, so they're left with these halfcocked "bans".

Russia's foreign ministry reaffirmed Panama's legal ownership and the canal's neutrality, urging respect for international agreements.

Oh, the fucking irony.

That's what I'm thinking. Get the fanbase used to seeing 100+, and then suddenly an 80$ game will feel like a bargain lol

I'm loving the balls on studios. Yesterday we had "experts" suggesting it might cost 100 bux, and today it's already the beggining of a trend. And the game isn't even out. In fact, we only have the trailer for the game and they're already predicting prices.

My prediction is yes, they'll ask 100$ and more, and yes, people will pay it.

But the nerve, I swear. "Yeah, our games have gotten sloppier every year. And yes, we fired tens of thousands solely for profit reasons. But line must go up, so you better start paying"

Hear hear. I subscribed to a couple news accounts and for last minute news its just perfect. But man, start browsing the popular section and you're in for a fuckton of activism.

So what's the news here? Win 10 support ends in october. Doesn't that automatically mean that they will also not support office apps running on Win 10 starting october?

These are the ones I've played over the years. Hope I'm not missing anything:

Elite Dangerous - Highly reccomend this, it's basically a huge sandbox, with full size galaxy, "real" star distances and orbits, excellent flight model. It also has the most awesome community around it. Downsides are that while it has lore and ongoing background story, there's no quest, no interesting characters, no rpg elements. Also there's quite a learning curve, and quite a grind (albeit maneageable these days). There's also a new colonization feature in the works that will involve a lot of comunity effort. If you do decide to play it, join a group, a squad, or just buzz me so I can add you here and there. Friends make the game sooo much better.

Everspace 2 - This may be what you're looking for, as it has story, good gameplay, arcadey flight model and lots of rpg elements. Overall a great game. Only problem with it is that it's not particularly large. Its universe is far smaller than starfield's.

NMS - Another one with an immense galaxy. This one has a storyline, but not a lot of rpg elements. A lot of it is procedural and after a while feels very samey and shallow. It does have crossplay and a great community as well.

X4 - Not especially large, but great single player game, with a universe that feels lived in. Also no rpg and I hear the endgame gets a bit managery.

Spacebourne - Haven't played it long but iy gas good potential. There's a bunch of systems, there's quests, reminds me a bit of freelancer. The downside is that there's a single dev, so development is slow and there's a fair amount of jank.

Edit:

ME - I feel it is still king of story driven spage-rpg even after all these years. Maybe give Andromeda a try? The story is meh, but it has great gameplay, and far fewer bugs.

I really wish officials would stop giving this much public attention to the twitter ramblings of these two. They're clearly working putin's agenda of seeding disagreements between NATO countries. If he wants to put his money where his mouth is, he can go get his mad offer refused through proper diplomatic channels. But this pandering to every whacky tweet is like wrestling with pigs and really has no upside.

Not sure what I expected. Every year I miss the mark on all but one or two categories. Not sure if it's because I'm out of touch with the gaming community or the gaming community is high. Probably the first, but people seriously picked Elden Ring for labour of love? Farm Sim for sit back and relax? RDR for soundtrack? The community has spoken I suppose.

True, they're a bit off the mark, but they were the ones off the top of my head. Also, in my defense, I don't think Pottinger knows what he's talking about either. The man glorifies Age3 like crazy, saying they had to scale back some features, fearing they'd prove too revolutionary. I love Age3, but the game was hardly world-shaking. Take its contemporary Rise of Legends, now that was a title that went balls out.

Still, I'm curious what they're cooking up in that new studio.
