Random video game news... RNG says "Nope"
Another reason for me not to buy Diablo 4. They already want 70 bucks for the game, and then still try to fleece me for more. No thanks, it's too big of a turn-off for me.

They have to pay it but will they pay it? Can they even pay it?

Damn, I completely forgot counter strike was a thing.

You can't name your child Adolf or Hitler anymore around here. I mean, you can try, but it very likely will be denied, since that is a sure way of giving your child lifelong issues and trauma. If by chance your name is Adolf or Hitler (old people most likely), it will of course not get you into jail, but you can be prepared for everyone making fun of you in some way.

I honestly remember nothing from D3 except that I played the voodoo woman with frogs. Would probably consider playing D4 if it had the Amazon or very similar class. But afaik it doesn't, so why bother. Barbarian is lame as hell.

The TV and Streaming Thread: Summer Re-reruns (it's always summer somewhere)
Didn't had anything else to watch so I said f it and went into House of the Dragon. Had no expectations, but ended up pretty good. I liked how it didn't feel like a big epic and had a more narrow focus. The jumps in time were a bit confusing at first, especially since I always have such a hard time remembering names anyways. Then suddenly everyone looks different and it's like you're watching a completely different show. However, I do always find it weird how everyone wants to sit on the stupid throne, but nobody ever shows me what exactly the king is doing all day long. Hell, if all I knew about kings would be from Game of Thrones, then basically everyone just wants to sit on this chair and that's it. They never tell me *why exactly* they want to sit on the stupid chair except "it's muh birth right". Saw that s2 comes in 2024 and it's supposed to go for 4 seasons. Truth told, a part of me wished this would be only a 10 episodes mini-show and then done. Not sure if I want yet another epic that completely lets me down in the last 3/4 of it. Or if I want some epic anyways. Just give me a low-stakes show and I'll be fine with it as well.

No, the only Bioware games that I liked were Mass Effect 1-3. In fact, I didn't play many other games of them, since they usually don't interest me at all.

No, I suck at this stuff and lack the bigger picture. I just know about a few scenario cases that for sure will ruin your day. Here is the thing.. we fixed our situation with making banks pay out all money again. However, this caused huge inflation over a short time, and money pretty much became worthless again... which was the thing we wanted to get rid of in the first place. We pretty much just made everything worse.

What I find the most funny about the bank crash is that we experienced exactly the same about 10 or so years ago in our online game. We changed the economy system, and at some point something went wrong. Players noticed that something was up and started pulling out their money from the banks. Money was infused into the banks only at a very slow speed, which means we've quickly hit the threshold and banks couldn't pay out money anymore. This triggered a huge panic among players and then everything broke apart. 😄 That was a very valuable economic lesson. Banks only work if people have trust in them. Let anything happen that makes lots of people lose trust in them and it's game over.

Just finished The Last of Us. Good season. Curious how they will continue in s2. If they will stick to the game, or change stuff around.

I mean, isn't it kinda Captain Obvious stuff that less elite units are dying in Bakhmut, if russians only send in the street meat? Once retreated, those same forces will still keep coming, just in a different place. That said, we're very likely missing some critical tactical information, so I dunno how much sense it makes to speculate about this. Personally I don't know what to think. From the little bits of information we get here and there, it seems stupid to me to hold out there while being surrounded on 3 sides.

I mean, they are already rich. They just get richer. If I had put 10k into Rheinmetall at the beginning of the war, I could cash out 20k now... in only a single year. No bank will offer you a deal like that. Now imagine you have the means to play around with 100k... The west certainly did not start this war to make a racket, but still there are lots of people now who are quite happy about it solely because money. Guess I'm just a little sad that I am not one of them. That said, I really wish russia would f-off already.

"His group, whose name translates in English to Law, Respect, Expertise, blames the European Union for soaring energy prices." How about blaming Russia for attacking Ukraine. "PRO also wants the Czech government to stop taking actions that are intended to reduce misinformation and fake news." Of course, because why would they not. Same old, same old. Tried to find out how many those were exactly, but it seems like every single article only writes about "thousands of czech" and nothing precise.

Cinema and Movie Thread: flickering images
Just a shame that you can never trust any of those reviews. Watched Doctor Sleep. Good movie. A lot better than I expected it to be.

Imo the site became too big. Every little thing is turned into some trope now, and it has just gotten real tedious. I stopped browsing the site, not because it is a clickhole, but because it's a collection of lists, and I can't be arsed anymore.
