Man, I love this game but the amount of random (stupid) posts that comes from Reddit is a lot.

• Recently finished Cyberpunk 2077. For all its hype, I found it a mediocre/ generic game.
• I’m trying to get into Baldur’s Gate 3 but it seems, it just is not my type of game (first D&D). Might also have to do with the fact, I tried to replace LeagueOfLegends with Baldur’s Gate.
• (re)playing Last of Us 1 (remake version on PC). Stays a great game.
• Debating whether to quit Returnal and play another game such as Alan Wake 2 or Hellblade 2.

I’m also trying to find a isometric/ top-down game to replace LeagueOfLegends with. But no luck.

I might get downvoted to oblivion. Why can’t America have a decent president for once again?

Trump is a fascist or at least going on its way to it and supports Israel with what’s it is doing in Gaza. Biden is in the old age and probably has just old age issues and supports Israel with what it is doing in Gaza.

It isn’t just America either, The Netherlands with PVV, France with Le Pen (if I said the name correct?), Germany with the whole AFD thing. Russia and its war on Ukraine.

The world seems to have gone mad.

Reminds me of this text someone once posted:

I will never ever fucking purchase a console or game of that shit company. I will always pirate and emulate.

People wouldn’t pirate so much if their prices were not so high and their console itself not so trash. If they made a decent product and decent prices, many would’ve purchased it.

But €70 for Mario Kart that’s approximately 8 years old and on an outdated console? No thanks. Not to mention them suing people and such.

Gosh, I hate that company.

So, what has this story to do with my own comment?

Yeah, I’m. For multiple reasons;

• In Arabian culture, one doesn’t leave until marriage.
• I’m still in university (almost finished tho).
• Parents have health problems therefore, I’ll stay longer to take care for them.
• House prices are insanely high (both renting and purchasing).

I’m living in Europe though but my dad is from a Arabian country and well, culture stayed with him. Anyway, I’d help a lot at home. Household things, helping with groceries, medication and such.

That said, I don’t care what anyone says about still living at home and not on my own. There will be always a chance to get an apartment but people often forget; parents won’t be here forever. One day they’ll pass away. Never forget that.

Debating to either purchase Hi Fi Rush or Persona 5 Royal.

Already got Persona 5 Royal on PS5 but kind of want to replay it on PC and I’m not sure whether I’ll like Hi Fi Rush.

With everything that’s going on in the world, I feel like “freedom of speech” doesn’t exist. It’s just a “buzz”.

Just to name a few things;

• You want to criticize Israel? Antisemitism!
• You want to criticize US-related Israel things? Antisemitism!
• You want to provide evidence of crimes? That’s a ‘crime’!
• You are against killing innocent people? Antisemitism!
• You want to protest? You disrupt the order and therefore a crime!

Perhaps it is just me being pessimistic.

Israel did not start this bullshit no top finish the removal. Get real, that’s what we are getting.

I don’t really understand what you’re saying/ writing honestly. If you mean that Israel didn’t start this entire thing, I’d say, I disagree. Due to the history of how Israel become an actual state (1948, 750 000 displaced, lots of Palestinian murdered and many other atrocities). Not to mention the ongoing apartheid system, illegal settlers and such.

Real question is where are these people going or we just gonna let Israel massacre them at the Egyptian border?

That’s one of the main problems. If other countries let the Palestinian people in their country it’s a free-ticket for far-right extremist Israel to steal everything from the Palestinian land. Which is a no-no.

But if nothing is done, Israel will just keep bombing Gaza which results in innocent Palestinians being murdered by Israel.

So here we are; majority of the countries doing nothing, Palestinians being murdered and lots of protests around the world.

I hate to nitpick, but saying you’re ready to hammer out the details, does not mean you accept the deal

No, yeah. You are right however (The article below is from 6 May). Now I cannot remember whether it was accepted by both parties. But it shows that Hamas definitely are willing to accept deals whereas Israel is continuously deliberately trying to avoid any deals.

Israel Gaza: Hamas says it accepts ceasefire proposal

From the article:

Hamas says it has informed Qatari and Egyptian mediators that it has accepted their proposal for a new Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal with Israel.

Your comment below (done this to avoid confusion between your comment and the text from the article);

I don’t believe Israel would have accepted any ceasefire at all, at most they’re open to a “pause”.

I agree somewhat. I, personally, believe that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu does not want a ceasefire. However, I think that normal civilians of Israel do want a ceasefire (especially the families of the hostages).

EDIT: Added a few sentences and corrected some words

The Israeli official made further comments blaming Hamas for the impasses, echoing the language of Israeli and US officials that “the ball is Hamas’s court” and that stopping the war is in their hands.

Did Hamas not accept a deal before while Israel (I assume their PM) rejected it? Found the article: Hamas accepts UN ceasefire resolution, ready to negotiate over details, official says

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stating clearly that Israel does not support a permanent ceasefire.

Israel blaming Hamas for not having a ceasefire or any deal and then this written in the article.

Israel’s demand appears to be for Hamas to release all the hostages right now in exchange for a temporary ceasefire

I mean any sane person would understand Hamas won’t accept this. This means they lose all negotiation ‘material’ (could not find a better word, apologies). The deal should be something along lines of; release of all hostages and a permanent ceasefire.

Hamas has said it will only support a deal that includes a permanent ceasefire

Exactly this. They are willing to accept a deal, it is Israel who does not want to accept anything.

This happens when you have blocked the person. Happens to me too sometimes and then I check through a private browser tab and notice the person who commented was someone I blocked.

And certain countries and people will still shout the utter nonsense “right to defend themselves”.

Majority of the countries have failed humanity. They’re doing nothing after so many atrocities and the UN only have words but zero actual actions.

This pretty much shows and proves that one small state is the ‘leader’ of every country, even the US.

Just sail the high seas.

Very often games are mediocre and/ or not even fully finished which results in a buggy mess,

Perhaps in the US but not in The Netherlands.

This is just nonsense. Games were never €70 back in the day, I remember my siblings getting games for €5-10 in the early days.

In my teenage years, games were €40 and gradually went up to €50-55 and then €60 (for pre-order €65). And now €70 standard, pre-order either free or €75.

That’s alright, but the thing is, this thread is about whether you tried the game and if you liked it or not. To be honest, I don’t think anyone cares whether you purchased it or pirated it (except the pirate-haters).

I’d say try the game the unofficial way. Sure, it has its flaws, but it is quite decent as well.

Your argument is invalid, they removed Denuvo months ago (PC).

I have only played it for a short amount of time then unfortunately neglected the game due to university and never really picked it up again (I should tho). From what I can remember, I enjoyed the game and liked the dark atmosphere. Also really enjoyed the parry-system because Sekiro-style.

However, I unfortunately don’t really like the ‘‘puppet’’ kind of style (despite it being the core of the game). As I’m not sure whether you’ve met a boss, I will spoiler-tag it:

I also was not sure what to think of the character, we are playing. Found the looks of it a bit odd.

The rank I will give it in my list would be: BloodBorne -> Sekiro -> Lies of P. I have not counted DS1-3 nor Elden Ring because they were not my type of games.
