Thanks, I have never used that site before I am going to look into it because it gives you discounts across multiple sites

I am a little disappointed because I was waiting for your response but its not your fault I saw Solasta on special last week and I should have asked the DLC questions back then as you said The biggest problem with Steam or GOG specials is who has the time to constantly see what's on special especially with how quick things change? There are several YT channels that do all this work for you and I have a preferred one called Cold Beer. He gives a quick summary of each game and he uses timestamps so you can just browse the list. I like his humor as well and he releases a video every second day more or less so I watch him 2-3 times a week so I can see what is current Here is an example of one of his Steam Autumn sales specials. You and others should subscribe to it, it really makes being aware of the relevant specials easier 👍

Is your issue around how they sensationalizing his execution by streaming it? I assume its not because he has been sentenced to death for the 13 soldiers he killed? Only the families of the victims should have access to his execution like other cases because it seems inappropriate and outdated to make it public One of the survivors in your article mentions this Im not following, whats a tragedy and whats a farce?

Thanks, as I mentioned I just missed the Autumn sales special by a few hours But Steam has changed its sales specials and they often have new ones outside of the big seasonal ones So I will track this game and buy it and the entire DLC pack when its next on discount. I have so many unplayed games I can wait.

No, the Autumn sales special ended yesterday literally between when I posted and a few hours later So I also missed out. I blame @kanisatha for not responding sooner 🤣

@kanisatha or anyone else Kanie Solasta is on a huge Steam discount and its time for me to buy it I can get a bundle pack with all the DLC but are they worth it or should I get a specific one? I know nothing about this game except its a popular party based RPG Save 58% on Solasta - Complete your Collection on Steam

I have been following this election Its more an indictment on Lula, the main issues are corruption and cost of living. Voting is mandatory in Brazil but still 20% didn't vote and 6% were null or blank votes Just this 6% could change the final outcome in the next round if they decide to vote properly but basically Lula lost 3.5 million votes and Bolsonaro gained 5 million from 2022 "The Numbers, Compared With 2022The TSE counts 125.1 million ballots cast out of 158.7 million registered voters, so turnout is 78.92%. In the first round of 2022, 123.7 million of 156.5 million voted (79.05%), and abstention was 20.95%, the highest since 1998, when it was 21.49%. The 2026 rate is above 2022 but still below 1998. Blank ballots are 1.84% of those cast (2.30 million) and null ballots 2.93% (3.67 million), together 4.77%. In 2022 the shares were 1.59% blank and 2.82% null, together 4.41%. Neither blank nor null votes count toward the 50% a candidate needs to win outright. Among valid votes, the PL candidate Flávio Bolsonaro has 56.07 million (47.06%) and Lula 53.76 million (45.12%). In 2022 Lula won 57.26 million (48.43%) in the first round and Jair Bolsonaro 51.07 million (43.20%). Lula is therefore about 3.5 million votes lower than four years ago, while the Bolsonaro camp’s candidate is about 5.0 million higher. Valid votes in total rose by only 0.9 million." The Rio TimesBrazil Abstention 21.08%, First-Round High Since 1998Abstention hit 21.08% in Brazil's first round, 33.4 million voters, over 14 times the Lula and Flávio gap. What it means for the 25 October runoff.

@alanschu Welcome back, good to see your posts again

Once Trump is gone the next president will change this and put more requirements on these companies that are actually substantive and measurable You cant expect Trump to care or understand the concern around unchecked AI Its too complicated for him and doesn't align with his views of what big business can or cannot do around necessary regulation and legislation

Hilarious as usual and its parody creates such a terrible impression of the NZ, its not only a racist country but its about to become a failed state @Zoraptor how can you live in NZ, how are you able to survive?

I bought it now and it will be the next game I play in that genre which I classify as horror, survival. I try to play games in an order with older games I buy being played first. That way I dont forget about games because of newer games I bought SOMA recently after all your recommendations so there are other games I needed to play first

A few days ago I completed What remains of Edith Finch. Its a quick adventure, mystery game where you return to your family's home to understand why so many of your relatives and older family members died because you pregnant and you concerned about your child's future. Was it natural deaths or a curse? The puzzles are really easy and the old house has some interesting secret rooms to find as you progress It has a fairly deep and interesting overall narrative as you discover how each person died. Its fun and another quick distraction type game, 60/00 Then I started The Lost Crown :A Ghost-Hunting Adventure which is a supernatural adventure game but its hardcoded at 1024x 768 resolution and it doesn't support widescreen or ultrawide which is my monitor. So there was this massive black bar around the HUD and Window option is also too small. So I stopped playing it after about 90 minutes So I moved onto Phasmophobia which is a survival, horror game. You investigate houses haunted by ghosts and the whole point of the game is to identify different ghosts using 3 types of evidence from different ghost hunting equipment like EMF readings and UV marks and for each of the 30 or so different ghosts they require different evidence The game has huge potential for anyone who enjoys this type of detective mechanics but it wasn't for me. I stopped after about 6 hours I am watching the new series A Tale of Two Cities and I felt like playing a game set in historical France and I decided to play AC Unity, its set in France in the 18th century during the French Revolution and I got it at a good discount because of the Ubisoft sales specials And I know what to expect from Ubisoft so no disappointments are expected 😎

Have you ever watched the series The Boys? I just watched it for the first time 2 weeks ago It takes some serious jabs at the current US political system and a dystopian future Homelander is the worst version of Trump around his objectives but with superpowers

I see Jagged Alliance 3 is on a huge GOG special @Malcador didnt you play this game? Do you or anyone else recommend it

https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/report-trump-rejects-irans-ceasefire-proposal-may-resume-bombing-after Trump has rejected Iran's ceasefire proposal ostensibly because he wants to wait till midterm results Interesting decision, I'm not sure it makes sense or is prudent. I assume if the GOP does well he will continue to make certain demands on Iran and continue the US blockade? Either way Iran will never be allowed control of the Straits But Iran's terms this time are more reasonable and don't mention control of the Straits Al JazeeraIran pitches seven-day roadmap to end conflict with USTehran seeks rapid implementation failed ceasefire deal, offering to open Hormuz if regional conflicts halted.
