That’s great. Are they actually going to do anything about it?

This is an important part of it. The other part is the fact that success in politics is very hard without money, and most rich people aren’t progressives.
Actually the battle lines have hardly moved at all since Ukraine withdrew from Avdiivka.

Great. That always works out well. /s
Right, a smaller country can never successfully resist a larger one. That’s why Vietnam has been under US occupation (or was it French? I can never remember for some reason) all these years since Ho Cho Minh wisely surrendered to spare his people’s lives.
Even if he can’t formally quit, he could effectively quit by just refusing to meet the obligations of the treaty. Who would stop him?
Why not make it a full MMO, while you’re at it? Hogwarts Legacy 2 could be the WoW-killer we’ve been waiting 20 years for!
It’s still censorship. The distinction is that most private entities can’t enforce their censorship with violence.
Bastion, etc, are from SuperGIANT Games.
I should add that I’m using the GOG version
That might be your problem. For one thing, the tutorial indeed continues after you escape Privateer’s Hold, and among other things, tells you how to fast travel. You are absolutely not intended to walk places on the world map, even though it is technically possible.

“If you play using the “GOG Cut” release of Daggerfall Unity, please consider this version is now almost two years out of date and comes preloaded with dozens of mods. It’s buggy, slow, and completely changes how the game looks and plays. The Daggerfall Unity development team did not assemble the “GOG Cut” release and in no way recommend it to play Daggerfall Unity.”
For reference, the GOG Cut uses version 0.13.5, and you can see on that page that DFU recently released version 1.0.
Playing unmodded DFU, I do agree with many of your criticisms. The game is very punishing, the full tutorial still doesn’t explain many important game mechanics (like the need to rest regularly, or that you really ought to buy a cart asap), character creation is extremely obtuse, and the amount of freedom at the beginning of the game is a bit overwhelming. Still, I found that after I got to a big city, joined a guild, and started doing quests the game starts coming together. I’m still not sure how much I like it, myself, but there’s clearly a ton of depth here, if you’re willing to take the time to learn the systems.
Did you figure out that you’re intended to rest in dungeons to refill your resource pools? That was something of a revelation for me.
Daggerfall Unity is extremely impressive from what I’ve seen of it so far. I am interested in what he comes up with.
Yes, and the latest version, too. Silly me assuming the version on GoG would be kept up to date…thankfully I didn’t lose too much time.
I’m trying to get into Daggerfall. I probably wouldn’t have got past character creation without a guide, and I died an embarrassing number of times in the intro dungeon, but once I got to town and figured out how to pick up quests things started to come together. We’ll see how far I get.
This sort of nonsense is one of the reasons I mostly don’t buy new games anymore.
Yes, the ones here (California) can be set to keep pumping automatically until the tank is full and then stop.
Hegemony: Wars of Ancient Greece
I played it years ago when it came out and it’s still really good. It’s an indie grand strategy game with low production values but a game play loop I find very satisfying. The fact that it’s played on a realistic map of ancient Greece adds a lot of flavor and I love how the geography actually has important implications for strategy.
Giving a for-profit corporation direct access to your brain sounds like a great idea with no downsides whatsoever. I love the thought of worrying about my brain implant having a glitch or facing planned obsolescence.
Edit: OH God I actually read the article and this thing connects to exterior devices. Imagine your brain literally being hacked.
To be specific, this is a pilot program, with the full launch coming later.
Okay that’s something. I’d like more, obviously, but it’s nice to hear.
