I for one am quite hyped about this new expac. They have really sold me on the Homestead.

You can still try the base game for free if you want to give it another go.

And when it goes on sale, the “Complete” Collection (First three expacs + the Living Story 2, 3, 4 and 5) is a steal at 50$/€. That’s 10 years of content you can catch up to. Even full price I’d say worth it, if you’re looking for a casual-friendly MMO with enough content to keep you entertained for a long time.

Another rec for GW2. I’d recommend you try the F2P game so you get a general sense of the mechanics and see if you like it, then wait for a sale to buy the “Elder Dragon Saga—Complete Collection” for half-price. I mean, there’s enough content for it to be worth 100 bucks, but for 50 it’s a bargain.

Not 100% but 99.9%… IIRC Guild Wars 2 servers had like 1 actual outage in 11 years. They have pretty amazing structure.

How do people still live without uBlock Origin is beyond me.

The other big reason which isn’t covered is privacy (in protests for example)…

But thanks for finding the law, you saved me some time. I’ll just add the equivalent text in the Constitutition

3 The law shall provide for exceptions. These may only be justified on the grounds of health, safety, weather conditions or local custom.

You know you can support the Palestinan cause without having to lie egregiously right. In terms of support, this is not “A first world, heavily subsidized, safe government” […] versus “a poor destitute region” alone.

Like Israel has the US as an ally, there is massive financial support from different oil-rich, Middle Eastern countries in the infowar in favor of Palestine. From one side Iran, which is sworn enemies with Israel, and is financing Hezbollah in Lebanon. From another Qatar, where Hamas leaders are (were? I’ve seen reports of them moving so I may be out of date) living in luxury. Hell, even Russia is probably using their troll farms because making Israel look bad makes the US look bad and there is no way they would miss that chance.

Our sense of humour is worse than germans, what did you expect?

I mean, to each group their own, but 4176 is the total of all together, which is a very unfair way of presenting it.

You’ll never have to choose between all of them, or even a decent fraction.

While leveling up, you’ll have to choose between 4-8 class feats accessible at your level, and you would usually prioritise ones available from your current levels to those available beforehand. Plus, at some point many feats require prerequisite, which means you can cut down half of options you can choose from really. Same thing with the race feats, skill feats and general feats.

8 possibilites maximum at every level up might be too much for some people, but really isn’t in the same ballpark of having to choose between 4000+ every time.

Any source which has “freaks out” in the title speaking about a country should really be avoided…

Switzerland has a new Federal Act on Data Protection coming up in September.

Though to be fair, if you keep getting hit by goblins at a high level, they’re probably custom-made.

Standard goblins have +8 to hit, so by level what, 10 latest they will never manage to hit you again.

Summer will become ever harsher, and the older parts of our populations will suffer ever more from it. AC is slowly becoming a necessity to survive…

Sure, if they become entirely transparent with all money entries and spending, and have actual enforced punishment for bribery (lobbying yes) and other relevant crimes, are banned from getting cushy jobs afterwards (see: bribery), and generally speaking actually try to make the country better and not just theirs and their buddy’s wallets fatter.

But we’ll probably see sentient AI before we see that happening…

I’m confused at what you’re trying to say.

Are you saying that one requires more rich people for a political class to survive? And only people living in wealth can become politicians?
