Good night, Pierre.

Have steam parameters always been broken, or have we never settled on a definition for RPG?

No, that's Macron realizing how bad things really are.

I am not condoning software piracy, I just thought this was funny: Can't you filter nude content in the options?

What is it?

Junta by Sunday if Macron's government doesn't leave? Sorry, you just don't see action like this in America. Everybody's fat and talks about guns, but we don't organize like this, unless its a bunch of dumb college kids stealing meme flags.

I'm ready as I'll ever be.

I'll buy a Prius when every city around the globe of a population greater than 20,000 is annihilated with all their people.

Immersive sims require the two things in the name- immersiveness and simulation. RPG elements aren't really needed at all, though by their nature RPGs tend to have a lot of the same elements that immersive sims have as well. While it mostly has the immediate elements of immersiveness Bioshock's attempts at simulation are basic. There's no real emergent gameplay, enemies and the environment don't behave with much realism, stealth doesn't work well (largely due to the engine used, to be fair) and, critically, it's pretty much impossible to suspend disbelief of Rapture being a Real Place existing outside of the narrow confines of being a game. That's not because it's set at the bottom of the ocean, it's because it fails in terms of verisimilitude- internal consistency/ realism such that even if you start out accepting that Rapture, plasmids, Big Daddies/ Little Sisters exist they do not make consistent internal sense except as part of a game system. In terms of any Obsidian game being an immersive sim, who knows. FONV was probably closest of their current lot, and from Troika both Arcanum and VtMB had elements of immersive sims. I'd suspect not, immersive sims take a lot of effort for not much reward. Also, its typically the player doing the interacting and not a player character. I mean they might have stats, skills, and upgrades, but an immersive sim lets you do whatever you want, with as little between the player and the game as possible for what it is.

Obviously it will be headed by Louis XX, beloved of the people and legitimate King of France, we do know that much. Shame the Brits dropped their claim to the throne, otherwise we could almost manage a super union of France/ Spain/ Britain. France will come home to absolute, divine-right monarchy any day now. Pierre knows that he was wrong about democracy, and they're terribly sorry for killing Western Civilization. Nothing unusual for you to be hoping for any Western institution to fall apart but as normal with your prognostications of " the end of the EU\Western culture " you will be disappointed and wrong when things stabilize and the EU continues to seen as an excellent union of how countries can unite behind common trade and human rights values Sorry Zora but thats just how the world is, its best to accept the West isn't going anywhere The protests have been going on for a while, in more prefects than this weekend's Paris. This climate change tax doesn't hurt those urban ponces, but the rural and working class that leoliberalism has abandoned for capital without borders. Unlike the people who are trained to talk like the marxists in your sig box, real people cannot just go home and buy new eco cars. Many have real work to do, requiring actual motors. If governments wanted to ameliorate global warming, they would quit accommodating masses more onto the power grids from Sand World, cranking their heat up every winter, but they do not care about global warming or plastic. Macron had one job: bread and games, but he can't even do that. Looks like his government want to give, they really have no other choice: http://www.linfo.re/france/politique/edouard-philippe-annoncera-un-moratoire-sur-la-hausse-des-taxes-carburants

Meanwhile in Graceland: https://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/IDF-launches-Operation-Northern-Shield-to-destroy-Hezbollah-terror-tunnels-573459 Let's get this sandlot apocalypse on already. I was visiting my pops in Pisa (half way from Milwaukee to Basra) last time they tried to immanentize eschaton and failed.

He's here at my place, we're killing beers and playing FIFA.

Even the monarchists showed up! So Pierre, what will the next government look like?

I just wanted to say that video's been up for 12 years

Do you think we'll be smoked by a comet before Bannerlord releases?

Exactly, its a new IP.

Of what, rubber bands? To what do you reply? sry, no sleep tonight

Here, Francois:
