Concidentally, I only saw these captchas from hell on sites that also have their own apps. I suspect they’re trying to force you to use the app instead of the browser (while also training AIs of course).

You’re offended that a foreign xenophobic tabloid did not accurately depict her indian heritage in a goddamn caricature? Come on man, live and let live.

Funny, I just read some piece of news that one of the leaders in the romanian far-right party wants to regain the north-bucovina territories ( which have been a contentious issue for a long while now ) from Ukraine at any cost, even if it would mean Romania leaving NATO. Birds of a feather share the same russian propaganda I suppose.

GTA V offline, of all things. Haven’t played it in years and found out its carpool grew quite a lot, matching the forza games and currently scratching my itch for an offline open world car game with a crapton of cars.

Romania: PM uses poor results to justify cancelling promised raises to teachers’ salaries, raises that were negociated after protests earlier this year.

Education Minister pretends the results are excellent, despite them being worse than previous ones.

So business as usual I suppose.

Ah, but you see, they are not the same. Control Panel is an archaic tool that lets you configure your windows quickly and efficiently. The new and improved AWS will be designed from the ground up to waste your time and discourage tweaking. It will probably obfuscate some settings, quietly remove some settings, track your usage, etc.

Acti CEO reading this article: “so they want more lootboxes?! excellent!”

Wait, Infinite Warfare qualifies as “the grand old days”? Manufactured drama much?

They did completely rework a bunch of gameplay systems, so bugs were to be expected. I tried a 2.0 playthrough, and while bug-wise it felt like the 1.2 days ( the death-on-boarding-delamain bug being particularly infuriating ) the gameplay changes are certainly interesting. I’m still holding off on getting PL just yet, maybe wait for a discount.

Jesus christ, a whopping 500 word article just to say: “players used to be able to earn 666 currency, now the max per season will be 700. we want more!”. Is this what passes for game journalism these days?

Indeed.

You might be able to run it ok. My 1660 basic manages 20-30fps on medium-high and 30+ on mostly low settings. The game still desperately needs some optimization, that’s for sure.

and the Shattered Space Story Expansion (when it becomes available).

What is this fuckery? Unplayable day-1 DLC pre-installed and taking up space on the user’s machine? Jesus christ bethesda

People keep giving the swiss as an example but it’s not the same context. Mainly because in Switzerland all men go through mandatory military service and that builds some discipline when handling a gun. Also they still have to get ( strict ) permits for those weapons, even with the accompanying training.

It is my impression ( and I apologize for the generalizations ) that in the US they’re essentially handing out assault rifles to any rando with some cash on him.
