https://www.imf.org/external/datamapper/NGDPD@WEO/EU/CHN/USA The EU has passed China in nominal GDP, good economic news for our European members @Elerond It looks like the EU will economically survive the US tariffs. This should put you in a good mood

Tales of Xiliia Remaster will be released in October 25. I was so hyped for this, but this time no PS4 version, and as always Bamco ignores GOG. Steam will be probably ridden by Denuvo again, so unfortunately, this will be 1st Tales of game released in the West, which I will have to skip

Borderlands 4 "min. requirements" include Intel Core i7-9700 / AMD Ryzen 7 2700X, 16gb ram and RTX 2070 / AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT, with 100GB SSD space. Recommended = 3080 gpu. And ofc probably that's for 1080/60fps. And UE5 engine. And Denuvo this time. Especially annoying (to me/some others) in this case because BL's graphic style did not need uber upgrading re: graphics/lighting/shadows. It was never going for realism etc. Don't know if they're offering RT but BL definitely doesn't need that either. No one played BL series for the uber graphics. I'm sure I can still play it at 4k/DLSS/medium or something, like I usually manage to do, but hubby's out of luck till he upgrades (if he does). A ridiculous $130 "super deluxe" pre-purchase version for what amounts to the "seasons pass" of yore. So they've doubled the price basically for the season-pass dlc/extra chr. classes/other post-release content ($60 vs $30). I wonder if post-release, the separated pack pricing will still = $60ish or it'll end up being more. Or maybe they'll price it into 20 different dlc. each new area/mission dlc, $20x4, extra chr class, $20x2, etc. Wouldn't surprise me. Yeah, sale-price for sure.

Security gurantees need willinges to send troops otherwise they aren't security gurantees. Selling weapons does not work as security gurantee, it is just way to make amrs trade look better. Logistical support for European jets could make security gurantees by some European countries easier, but mostly that is empty talk as USA does not have logistical capacity in the area where those jets needs to operate and USA does not have plans to have logistical capacity there. So USA will not provide any security gurantees for Ukraine in Trumps current pland.

Today I visited this forum and posted a bunch of YT links, since I od'd on k-dramas for the moment and went back to random YT. Hubby got his round of back injections - the ink they used to make target dots on his back is quite persistent, hehe - but it didn't do anything for him. Now he's waiting for the appointment call re: the 2nd round/attempt. He's pretty discouraged/depressed re: life right now, etc. I've offered to sledgehammer hubby's foot or something, so then the back pain wouldn't be on his mind anymore, but he didn't seem to go for that idea

Looks kinda funny/hearwarming.

Yup.

For those that don't like Disney-ish styled pop songs, here's a "hard rock" cover of Golden. It's not bad.

Uncontrollably Fond was so good. Not much a fan of period drama or fantasy stuff either, but I'm sure gonna give it a try.

Oh ,also also - this is pretty much me re: k-pop demon hunters. The movie is still only "somewhat above average" to me (CGI animation detail being it's major highlight perhaps) but a few of the songs that didn't initially impress, have grown on me to the point they've been put the "on endless repeat, sometimes" list. I suppose it's kind like my reaction to Frozen (it's entertaining but mid, but that one song grew on me) S. He's bit here is because he does the orange-haired demon in a Danny Phantom Your Idol cosplay. which isn't bad visually - it's almost 9million views and they're doing sodapop next. The fandom of this musical film and the songs is kinda nuts, lol.

Oct. 3rd. Looks to be largely set in modern times, vs. period drama, if you're wondering. Ancient genie with Suzy as his new "three wish" owner. It's been 10 years since Uncontrollably Fond ripped my heart out. Not sure I'm a fan of the genie (I think he's more like a devil - Iblis) concept but I hope it'll be good. Also, I still haven't watched all of Fallout1 series. >.> That Vegas-y trailer for 2nd season looks promising tho!

Dang!

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/aug/19/what-security-guarantees-might-ukraine-get-in-return-for-a-peace-deal The US doesnt need to deploy " boots on the ground " to support the EU in security guarantees for Ukraine End of the day this is a proposed US\Trump peace plan and we need to see how it unfolds and what is agreed on "Trump has promised to coordinate a Europe-led peacekeeping operation in Ukraine. “When it comes to security, there’s going to be a lot of help,” he said on Monday, sitting next to Zelenskyy in the Oval Office. The US president made clear European countries would be expected to carry most of the burden. “They are a first line of defence because they’re there. But we’ll help them out,” he said. Ukraine wants to buy $90bn worth of US weapons and says they could form part of the security guarantee. Overall, however, Trump has been vague about how much the US would contribute. He has ruled out Ukraine’s membership of Nato, which Kyiv believes would be the best deterrent against a future Russian onslaught. There seems no prospect the US would send its own troops to take part in a peace-keeping mission. One more realistic option would be for the Pentagon to provide logistical support to a proposed “sky shield”. The plan envisages an air protection zone in the west and the centre of Ukraine, including over the capital Kyiv, enforced by European fighter jets. "

Having a sense of humour is objectively not a bad thing even for world leaders When its obvious the person is joking

please. pretty please.

Made an account as well to echo my support! Really hope they release a Switch 2 update. The game deserves it

Nightshade (Belladonna) Piggybacking another players post "we should be able to eat berries" I totally agree, we SHOULD be able to eat berries. I'd like to also suggest adding Nightshade "berries" if you eat them, you die or get so ill you lose 1 in game day? But we can use the deadly berries to craft smoothies, armor (Nightshade Rogue) weapons, base decor etc. The possibilities with poisonous berries are endless. Oooh, a combo armor set with scorpions and poisonous berries, hear me out, Northern Nightshade .

Platform: X box series x I can rarely start a multi-player game so I play single player. I can play for an hour or so then the game will crash. When I try to log back into my game, my game saves do not show. For awhile I was able to delete local game saves to force the game to sync and the saves would show up. I could then play until it crashed and they would disappear again. This no longer works, nothing I do will let me access my saved game. I really enjoy the game, but I am forced to not play until the game is fixed. I am hoping my money was not wasted as I would like to play.

I love this!!!!

Cool idea for berry meat and skin. But I totally agree, the fact that you can eat Aphid honeydew and not eat berries always confused me. I wouldn't expect it to be like a full meal, but, it's a survival game, sort of, foraging berries to not starve feels like it just belongs.

I have also had this issue, fortunately I have not purchased again.

I love the underwater base building idea so much!!!! Atlantis vibes! Also, I 100% agree with the omnitool comment. The concept is great, no inventory space lost to necessary tools, but the feel of it is frustrating, and the keybind being the same as interacting is driving me nuts. Harvesting with the omnitool is so SLOW. yes, I know the ant buggy makes it faster to chop, but constantly having to jump on and off to chop and carry weed stems makes the whole base building experience, well...just overall less enjoyable. Plus, the sour axe was one of my all time favorite weapons/tool combos. Even into NG+ in grounded 1. And Agreed, buggy friends need to learn some personal space, I have sent mine back to base so many times for getting in the way.

Absolutely! That would work great! I’m really hoping enough people in here comment about this. I’m loving everything else and I’m adjusting to all the changes, but this one is a tough one!

NVIDIA released 581.08 today and after installing it and restarting my PC, it crashed the first time I loaded up G2.

I like the favorite idea if it keeps the location of those items upon looting your corpse. I have dedicated spots for some items like trinket top left for fast swapping. When you die you always have to shuffle things back around. It's a minor inconvience but would be nice if it was solvable.
