Nothing disappointing about it, saga should have ended long ago.

Pretentious cheese.

Good theater, didn't go anywhere in 2022, if I recall, can't see this going anywhere different now. Wouldn't this impact the EU states still getting Russian gas?

Slovakia is only good for one half, I guess. England vs Slovakia would be a great match

ROK has some surplus, everyone seems to think they'll go all in for everything to Ukraine, though.

There will always be a need for COBOL developers

Studio gone now as well -https://www.eurogamer.net/paradox-shuts-down-life-by-you-studio-following-sims-likes-sudden-cancellation

Really ? When the US was bombing Afghanistan they mentioned it a whole lot. Sort of a curious argument that only places people have heard of matter though, heh.

Barring Argentina, or a large chunk of CONCACAF.

Morocco and Western Sahara

Ukraine sucks, the West has failed by not donating their best players. Good goals by Romania though

https://www.eda.admin.ch/eda/en/home/das_eda/aktuell/dossiers/konferenz-zum-frieden-ukraine/Summit-on-Peace-in-ukraine-joint-communique-on-a-peace-framework.html Very productive summit.

Could say the same for Zelensky's proposals for peace, basically outlines total victory. At least everyone gets a nice trip to Switzerland. Doubt either side can sustain it that long, Russia equipment wise and economic, and Ukraine manpower wise. Both of these countries are screwed for a long time, but Ukraine will be a welfare recipient I guess

https://www.france24.com/en/europe/20240613-g7-leaders-to-50-billion-ukraine-loan-backed-by-russia-s-frozen-assets Guess they got over their issues earlier from https://www.politico.eu/article/us-eu-war-in-ukraine-loan-russian-assets-negotiations-g7-us-election-western-support-joe-biden-olaf-scholz-emmanuel-macron/

Looks like a decent MMORPG.

https://www.pcgamer.com/games/call-of-duty/call-of-duty-black-ops-6-will-not-depict-911-treyarch-confirms/ I guess Americans are still sensitive after two decades. Shame though, the media fuss would have been great

Huh, only 2 months and change for beta.

Same price as RoS, and is in line with the price of expansions back in the day. Adding raids, meh.

Mercs, pets, new class Spiritborn added

Finished Wing Commander 3. Only cheesed a couple missions on Rookie as I am too old. Also my wingmen kept getting wasted attacking a cruiser like morons. Excalibur is a hilarious ship, auto aim, woo. The ground missions really can go to hell though, frustrating and hideous.

https://www.pcgamer.com/games/gog-is-going-to-start-deleting-oversized-cloud-saves-at-the-end-of-august/ 200 MB of saves per game max on the cloud. Not a huge deal to me though.
