Well because most historical Youtubers would be mainly bothered by factual inaccuracies. There's a problem with re-creating historical societies - we don't actually know all that much about them as life of peasants was hardly ever really recorded. Still, I'd have liked if Warhorse tried at least. But that's a normal problem with historical realism in interactive medium. Forcing the player to sit through a mass everyday would certainly be realistic, just not very interesting. And it would be even worse when it comes to people. Nobody would relate to a set beliefs that would be accurately represented.

Wait, how do you use black holes to push political agendas? I see it happen all the time in history but you'd think astronomy should be relatively safe.

From the before mentioned invasion of Vilnius and Czech lands to the polonization policies in the east. And that's before we even get to the topic of internment camps, pacifications and eventual reprisals during the war. Or of the pervasive antisemitism that's still going strong and is used as an excuse to justify that 'Polish death camps' nonsense. I could go on but the point is that Poland needs an honest look at it's history not western-style denial and shouting-down of anyone who disagrees. Yeah they did most of that, but to iterate, there really wasn't pervasive anti semitism in Poland, since people are likely to reflexively disagree with Sharpie. Nationalism, sure, and at times that was as unpleasant in Poland as in most places hence inter war Poland's behaviour was not always the model of restraint, shall we say. But, most of the stories about Polish anti semitism are Israeli Creation Myth propaganda- there literally being no safe place for the Jews except Israel. There may well be some anti Israel resentment now, but that's neither anti semitism nor unjustified given that Israel is effectively slandering them for their own political purposes. I really wish that was the case but it's simply not true. There was antisemitism in polish lands before 2nd republic came about. The ways it differed compared to antisemitism in neighboring Germany and Soviet Union is quite another topic. The point is that's just a result of semantics. Who qualified as a native Pole and who as an ethnic German living in Poland was largely decided antebellum. Also it's based on the assumption that there were no Polish citizens willing to run Poland for the nazis. Such people were simply turned-down.

Did you equaled an epidemic in prison with Nazi death camps? You did, didn't you? Is that something you picked in school or read some low quality website? no, I pointed out the issues with making “polish death camp” a legal term. I don’t seem to deny, dismiss or relativise the Holocaust. But we are in a discussion about a law. And if we are doing that, I think it is perfectly reasonable to consider just how much history can or could be denied when forbidding the term “polish death camp”. Essentially, I was talking about terminology. Granted though, I should’ve made that clearer. I’m sorry if I confused anyone. Well the term isn't specifically mentioned in the law. It's just an example used by the media and legislators. The law is penalizing false statements that Poland was collaborating with Nazi Germany and was involved in Holocaust. There were certainly people who did collaborate or cooperate willingly, but I suppose the law is aimed at statements saying that the government at the time was? That's right. Of course there were such people. And they were trialed by the Polish undergroud. We were maybe the only country to do that in WWII. Depending on your definition of collaboration, 'such people' could number in the millions. Poland swept plenty of ugly history under the rug and the last thing we need is to start rewriting it.

Births could start to massively increase but nothing indicates that they will. Historically fertility rates that have fallen below replacement level are almost never coming back to that point.

That's assuming there is anything like an equilibrium. There is an argument to be made that decline in birth rates could be a one way trip.

Supposedly there is a serious law team behind Crytek on this one. This may actually be more than a desperate extortion lawsuit from a bankrupt ex.

I'd much rather see transparency in candidate selection. Salaries don't mean much if you can't land a job.

What is the idea of masculinity? I'd say a attempt to steer male risk-taking behavior onto something socially beneficial. Is is toxic? If society has no use for any such behavior then I suppose it is. Today in developed world may very well qualify.

Climate change is science but taking it as a opportunity to push agenda is very much political. You can easily tell by the offered suggestions where the authors stand politically.

Anyone who says that additional layer of code on top of the base package of software does not have any performance impact is either liar or Fortran god. And I highly doubt that in this case, the latter statement is the more probable one... Fair enough but Denuovo was removed from multiple games by now. The performance impact was nowhere as dramatic as you make it out to be.

does anyone care anymore? They can make daily show out of this shuff Nobody died so that's hardly a great political fodder. Besides I think people are starting to notice how ineffective Islamic terrorism really is. A decade of terror in UK killed about as many people as a bad tower fire.

Right, sorry.

And that is an alternative fact. There are carbon sequestration technologies that could make coal plants cleaner than natural gas. It's the expense that makes it questionable.

Don't you think that claim of equivalence might go a bit too far? I might have missed some Christian terror attacks lately but still...

I'm sure it also teaches that murder is wrong. If they found a way to rationalize around that I doubt they will lose any sleep over pork.

That's really not a good argument. Most of Christian religious beliefs are nowhere near as extreme as they used to be. It took centuries of violence and bigotry for modern tolerance to finally be build. I think you take these things far too literally. I doubt any would-be-martyr believes he will go to hell for having been force-fed the wrong kind of food.

But it's not that simple. 90% of men who made up confederate armed forces didn't own any slaves. The popular support confederacy enjoyed was not for the benefit of a few rich men but to defend the system. And frankly speaking I think history is pretty much always an art of reinterpreting the past to push modern political agenda.

For a multiplayer looter-shooter it's pretty average. Would recommend only if you played Borderlands to death and are willing to accept a drop in quality.

On the death of immersive sims Real shame. Prey at least should have gotten a sequel.

You weren't supposed to know in advance. There are ropes in Shady Sands if you can be bothered to back-track.

I'd agree if 'tomorrow' means 'not in our lifetimes'. As is, we would need luck to even see asteroid mining happen.

And it would take trillions to extract them while you can do it on earth for far less. If there was profit in space mining people would be doing it right now.

Moon has hardly appropriate resources even for rocket fuel let alone ship construction. Never-mind lack of business case of going beyond earth orbit.
