We already saw what they do, it's what they did to Imane Khelif

Here's the teaser, since they reformed the team with a new name so it might not be easy to find. I think this is the only thing they've released about it so far, which doesn't really tell us much other than that they're making something, but honestly I'm just excited to see more from them. It being published by Epic suggests to me that it'll come to PC, which is a relief for me because I don't have a console

Isn't that also true of anyone taking a regular commerical flight on an airliner? There's plenty explosive fuel in there to kill someone too

Much less dangerous, certainly, but I wouldn't count the engine as a reason for it being a "mission" unless the mission is testing that engine

That's totally fair! I'm very much of the opinion that while From's soulslikes are great and much less insurmountable (a word I choose carefully — they are difficult, but they can be learned) than their reputation suggests, that still doesn't mean that everyone will actually find them fun. If the combat isn't to your taste then that's an entirely reasonable position. Elden Ring is particularly demanding in terms of the pace of combat compared to the Souls games as well

Shadow of the Colossus is such an incredible game. I think it was the first game I played that showed me that games could do more than just being fun to play. It wasn't the first to attempt to do that, certainly, but it was the first to show that to me and it has stuck in my memory ever since. The soundtrack is phenomenal too. Have you seen that the dev team teased a new game late last year?

I beat every boss in base game Elden Ring without parrying once, using melee only, and no ashes or player summons either (I summoned NPCs a few times if it was an NPC I liked or an interesting story, which meant summoning them for Morgott, Fire Giant, and the two gargoyles). I even got Malenia, eventually! I don't say this as a brag, because I am NOT good at these games. I say it to say that if I can do it, basically anyone can.

I think it's a matter of mindset. You've got to go in psychologically prepared to fail a over and over again, and you've got to be analytical enough to figure out why you failed. If you're really struggling with a boss, maybe don't even try to attack for a couple of runs, just focus on figuring out when to dodge and when you have windows. Maybe your current weapon isn't the right one for the job because it's a bit too slow to hit this boss or it does a damage type that the boss resists. Maybe you just need to go somewhere else for a bit and come back with more vigour and a better weapon. Elden Ring is really good for letting you do that.

Obviously that's not going to be a process that everyone enjoys, and if someone doesn't enjoy it that's totally fair enough. It's a game, we're all just here to have fun. But the actual skill floor is one almost everyone can achieve if they want to and approach it ready to experiment and learn

Well ideally let's get off of fossil fuels altogether as much as is practical

The $73bn number looks suspiciously close to the amount EU countries have given independently without including the amount the EU has given as the EU (just shy of $50bn). It also won't include the UK, Norway, or Switzerland, the first of which in particular is a large donor due to being a large economy

Wait shit you're right. I will blame the fact that I got some vaccinations yesterday and was feeling super ill

Ahhh okay, I have a suspicion of which one you mean so I won't say anything more about it. No, the thing I posted is a quote from character that OP painted (other than I replaced "time loop" with "painting", of course)

She is only mentioned by Herodotus, and his account conflicts with others. None of those accounts, including Herodotus', were fron the same time and place as the events that they are describing, so we're really not sure which if any is true

I don't think sharing the title is really a spoilers issue. After all, it's the first thing any new player sees! OP has already shared it anyway

For those wondering, it's Outer Wilds. Not to be confused with the Outer Worlds, which released at about the same time. Seriously though if you like puzzle games and piecing stories together, do not spoil it for yourself. The entire game is figuring out what happened; once you know, you can't learn it again

On the one hand, the quantity probably isn't significantly dangerous. On the other, OPs mindset seems to be. If they cannot control their drinking then that's a problem, regardless of how much they actually end up drinking

"Personally, I like new experiences, and I’ve never been in a painting before. I mean, I don’t think I’ve been in a painting before this one."

Yes in the sense that basically everything you do is trying to uncover clues to figure out what's going on. No in terms of the scale of the map. It's very dense and compact, rather than just being huge. There's lots to find, but you can cross the entire map in just a few minutes once you get the hang of piloting the ship. Just about every area has some kind of hidden spot though

If you're able to, get the version with the all the DLC. I think I paid £5 for that vs £3 for just the base game. The extra stuff is well worth getting

The inconsistency of details is usually a good sign. Look at the eyes here; they're drawn in a different style in all four panels. Or, like, what happened to the armour in panel three?

I'm afraid not. "Rally" is just the generic term for this kind of motorsport

I'm not sure the opinions of British Eurosceptics should be given much weight here. Britain was always unusually wary of the EU, that's why we had so many carve-outs

Riding an e-scooter is only permitted if you're returning from a ferry trip to Estonia

Couldn't tell you I'm afraid, I also haven't bought it. I grabbed DR2 because I saw it really cheap on sale and just wanted a rally sim rather than seeking out a specific one
