Sorry, in case that was unclear: These are predictions, not opinions.

Ukraine 💀 Middle East 💥 China 1️⃣

Dave the Diver and Dredge come to mind.

Doesn’t exist in German? What about “Frohes Schaffen”?

I wasn’t aware of the existence of this tool until now, so thanks for posting this here.

If by FPS you mean Fahrenheit per second then yes. 👍

Wrong.

Sorry if I was wrong about the prevalence of such protections. My perception may be biased because the notebooks used by our company are all equipped with a switch or shutter of some sort. (HP brand, IIRC) Regarding your second point, however: surely a shutter physically obscuring the camera lens is just as effective as disconnecting the camera when it comes to protecting the user’s privacy?

They often come equipped with a privacy slider to cover the lens. Or you can just put a sticker on them.

I wouldn’t mind my tax money paying for their one-way tickets. Especially if they leave their passport at the gate.

But if the help had come from North Korea or China, Vlad would have been fine with it.

Doesn’t Storm Shadow require Western operators to program targets? I want Ukraine to win this war of national survival (unlike the US administration) but Western operators programming missiles to hit targets in Russia does sound escalatory to me. I’d rather see Ukraine receive a decent number of F16s (i.e. much more than currently pledged) with corresponding munitions. There’s a lot of really useful stuff in the Western arsenal that would otherwise remain unused forever, including older-gen glide bombs & standoff weapons. It’s not going to be the Wunderwaffen winning this war, anyway. But an ample supply of decent weapons could work wonders. Just look at the success of Russia’s cheap glide bomb upgrades. (Sorry for the wall of text, by the way, but I can’t get Connect for Android to retain line breaks)

That’s cool. Means Ukraine doesn’t have to burden itself with housing and feeding them when they surrender.

Lucas Pope is a genius.

I (occasionally) like the frantic style of Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw’s Zero Punctuation game reviews. Together with the wacky animations, they’re quite something.

My favorite soundtrack ever, of course, is that of The Secret of Monkey Island (MT-32) by Michael Land. A lot of nostalgia there.

I also very much like the soundtrack to Dune by Stephane Picq. There’s an edition that combines the Adlib, Adlib Gold, and MT-32 versions which is “chef’s kiss”. Alternatively, I can recommend the Space Opera edition.

Strike Commander by Nenad Vugrinec on MT-32 is also great.

For chiptunes, I really liked Penny Arcade’s On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness 3 by Alex Mauer.

Or, for a real classic, Earthbound by Keiichi Suzuki and Hirokazu Tanaka.

Yes, I have a bit of a thing for retro sounds. 😁

Too bad we can’t prove that it’s state actors perpetuating the recent (planned) attacks on German people, property, and infrastructure. Otherwise these would be considered acts of war against the German nation, to be met with measures of our choosing including the use of military force. I hope that our diplomats can convey this message loud and clear because Putin is playing some seriously dangerous games here.

How has nobody mentioned Girls Just Wanna Have Fun yet? That bubbly energy is a great pick-me-up whenever you need it most.

$750m? That company worth about three fiddy.

Return of the Obra Dinn. City Game Studio. Until the Last Plane and Full Metal Sergeant (by the same dev).
