"It will not be released for PS4/Xbox One because CD Projekt Red is ending new updates for those platforms." Ah, finally giving up on the hardware that couldn't run it well anyways. /Edit: Jeeez, they really sold 18 million copies? That's pretty crazy.

It was a very good game back in the days, but today there's just too many things that annoy the hell out of me. However, I do plan to play the remake sometime soon, that could be interesting.

Well, I only know that men couldn't leave. I haven't heard reports of men being send back from outside Ukraine.

They'll have to pay me to take it. 😄 Game was great back in the days, but if I remember back to all the pain and suffering caused by some of the mission design and the terrible saving (I think it was only once per mission?) no thanks, I'm too old for that.

Were the men send back? I haven't heard about that.

"in soviet labor camps, they knew your name" - oh, they knew names in german camps as well. We were very good at tracking everything thanks to our need for bureaucracy. The thing with the crimes we also had covered, or does he not know about the differently colored stars?

I completely missed that new JoJo stuff is on Netflix.

Finally watched the last season of Better Call Saul. Not sure what to think of it. Generally I feel the show had weird pacing and was a bit boring half the time. It's always been like the writers didn't really know what to do and just went into whatever direction. Now the last season is pretty much just random short scenes from various time periods and it's just jumping back and forth all the time. I think if you haven't seen Breaking Bad, you'd be completely lost with what's going on at all times. The only reason why I've remembered odd bits is because coincidentally I rewatched Breaking Bad a year ago. They did a good job with showing Jimmy as the person he really is. He was always the same character, always the scammer, always trying to make money this way... even though he was very much capable of becoming successful without doing shady stuff. It's underlined when they talk about regrets in various moments of the show and the stuff Jimmy regrets is ... never related to who he is or what he has done to others. He just doesn't see it that way. It's kinda hard to watch, since he is charismatic and you want to root for him and get him out of jail, but on the other hand he caused tremendous harm to many people and he very much deserves to never getting out of jail ever again.

Shortly before winter ofc. They are trying maximum pain. It's not like they have much to lose now anyways I guess. I'm more interested in what our government is going to do now. They need to react fast, but will they? Probably not ... the industry is making fat bank right now.

Watched Day Shift a little bit on the side. It's .... ok I guess. Problem is that I get bored fast by movies like that, and it did feel kinda long in the end.

Oh god. Shannara something-something was so bad. Like, I can't even start. That said, I'm not trusting those reviewers anymore. For all I know it's all just a load of bs. Gotta wait for the opinions of non-critics.

Yeah, loved that movie. Very nice. Also sad.

They seem to think they are dealing with an actual government and not with the mafia. You don't criticize the Don like that, it's not healthy.

Apparently he criticized the invasion. In March, Lukoil’s board called for “the soonest termination of the armed conflict,” expressed “sincere empathy for all victims,” and said “we strongly support a lasting ceasefire and a settlement of problems through serious negotiations and diplomacy.”

Truth told, I never liked the original Top Gun, since I wasn't much into jets and it felt just boring to me. Same reason why I didn't like Hot Shots, but Hot Shots 2 was nice, since that one is more based on Rambo.

Only problem is, you're a couple years too late for that criticism. Like, 36 years too late. 😄

That moment when people compare Aliens with a movie where planes shoot at each other.

Meh, whatever they say. I still remember when everyone said he was dead.

I can't find the list right now, but just head over to the White House twitter for now and bathe in the hypocrisy: Yes, how else to get out of this? Sure they could also pay every american 10k, why not, but then even more people will crap their pants. 😄 In germany, you will not go out of your student days with 100k in depth. This is not a thing here. If I had to imagine starting my worklife with that amount of baggage, I'd probably give up right away, since chances are very high that I am paying that off for the next 30 years. Forget about ever owning a house, too, since that crap on top of the student loan will have you pay off depth for 60+ years. 😄 /Edit: And now get into an accident and pay another 100k in medical depth. America really wants you to be poor. I think it really needs their slaves to keep the system running. Just wondering when's the point where it will all blow up.

What about the rich americans who also got their loans forgiven, sometimes even 10x the amount. There is lots of hypocrisies going on here. Of course nothing else is to be expected from the political right. Sure, if you just paid off your loan, it kinda sucks for you, but is that really a reason to not to this? Why do you want other people to suffer the way you did? That's very selfish. Also, this way it becomes a circle which you can't break out from, it will just keep going and going, since nobody wants the ones after them to not suffer the same.

Apparently there is rumors about tactical nukes being transported to crimea. How much truth is in it, who knows.

Watching The Raid 2 right now and .... to be honest, it's rather boring. Way too long for its own good.

https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/08/26/7364870/ "Armed Forces of Ukraine destroy base of Russian army in Kadiivka, killing two hundred Russian Airborne troops – head of Luhansk RMA" Jeez, 200 people down in one attack. /Edit: Apparently this is yet unverified, though.

It caters to old fans, so horse armor joke seems appropriate. : >
