He also receives gifts worth literally millions of dollars per year. We're talking super yacht cruises, travelling via private jets, drinking $1000 bottles of wine. And he claims all those gifts don't affect his impartiality in any way, even when he's ruling over cases that directly affect his billionaire "friends".

The problem is time. Trump doesn't need any more criminal charges to send him to jail, he just needs the courts to finish doing their job, which takes time.

Doom (1993) took place on both moons FYI. Episode 1 was Phobos and episode 2 was Deimos.

No they aren't. They have similar wealth to other Caribbean nations, being richer than places like Jamaica and Haiti but poorer than Trinidad or the Dominican Republic. In global terms they rank 83rd, so above average, and they have a relatively high development index, I.e. pretty good health care and education. They might seem poor to you, but they're actually richer than most of world.

If you go back far enough there were now extinct lions in northern Europe as well. But wild lions as we know them today existed in Greece, the Balkans, etc. Even as late as the 10th century CE.

Does it still requiring logging into EA to play?

A lot of leave voters were so sure that remain would win that they disregarded the negative consequences because they wouldn't actually happen. They voted leave to show that they weren't happy with the status quo.

This research was funded by an unknown right wing think-tank. Interpret that as you will

As someone with a 3+1 camera phone who likes taking photos, it's a huge improvement over a single lens. I wouldn't buy a single lens phone again.

I'm so glad I went back and finished it recently. The MQ story is really good. I put on a mod to make magicka regenerate like in later games and played a straight mage, eventually crafting rings to be able to jump around town super fast and another to cross the continent.

Goldeneye just isn't a very good game. It was one of the best fps games on the N64 so if all you've got is an N64 you're going to think it's amazing. But other games have done much better what it tried to do so today it feels clunky and bad. Contrast to something like Doom which still holds up today because that style of gameplay hasn't been massively improved on.

 

I'm interested in improving my German through games, but I often struggle to commit to playing games in another language because I don't want to miss out on things like story and dialogue. So I'd be interested in any suggestions for games which I can enjoy playing in another language.

So far my best success is Civilization 6. It ticks a lot of boxes because there is no story other than what you make. I've played it before in English, so I alreadly broadly know what things do, but it's complicated enough that I still need to read and understand things. There is spoken audio and a lot to read, so I feel like I am always encountering new vocabulary. It is turn based, so there is always unlimited time to read and translate - Google Lens is a lifesaver here, because there are a lot of rules to understand, and sometimes I get the meaning completely wrong when I read it, but then I can check the translation.
