My parents, yes absolutely. They are responsible for me growing up to be a tolerant, left-leaning person in a mostly conservative rural area. Being boomers, they might not be up to date with all the current LGBT terms or things like that, but they definitely have/had an open mind and don't judge people.

My paternal grandparents (born in the 1910s and 1920s) were very religious. My dad had to suffer a very strict upbringing under them. He was not allowed to read comics, watch TV, read sci-fi novels etc (though he did all of these things in secret). I only knew them as a child when they were already in their 80s and they were nice to me, but from what I've heard from my dad not necessarily nice people, and definitely not tolerant.

My maternal grandma (never knew my grandpa) rarely ever talked about politics or society or anything. She was a very down-to-earth person. That said, she definitely held some bigoted views in the form of prejudice against foreigners. She had major reservations when some Turkish people moved in next door. She eventually became friends with them though, so she managed to overcome her prejudice. I'd say she was a nice person.

Yes they can, that's how you get games like Hellblade 2. Short games often don't sell as well though, so devs are more likely to focus on content.

Was pretty much the other way round for me, realized around age 25 or so that I'd spend the later part of my life feeling like shit with constant back problems if I didn't get out more. So these days I make a point of getting out on my bike or going on longer walks at least a couple times a week. Not for looks or women, but for myself.

Ah, indeed I did.

Probably. His ego was hurt when he lost to Biden, I think he would have run again in any case.

That's great, but you can get weapons for Cyberpunk through Amazon Prime Gaming. That's pretty much microtransactions with extra steps.

Like the article states: it contains an NPU. It's also not targeted at consumers.

Doch, genau das steht da wortwörtlich:

Die hohe Wahlbeteiligung und die hohe Zustimmung für Putin sollen Belege dafür sein. Dabei hat der Westen selbst beides herbeigeführt.

I've been playing the open beta for a bit, and it's surprisingly not terrible. I'd spend $5 on it but not 70.

Robin Hobb's fantasy books would be interesting. Probably quite hard to adapt well though.

Played this ages ago, when it was a small but well made VR-exclusive prototype with one train and a very small track through a basic landscape. Cool to see how it developed since then, definitely giving this another go at some point.

25 players is not a lot for what they call an MMO. I'm a bit skeptical of the game, but I signed up for the beta and will give it a go. Most games going for an Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley vibe just fail to capture what makes those games special.
