If you have never played Civ before it would be a good time to start with Civ 5 or maybe even Civ 3. They are cheap and quite polished.

In my opinion (having played Civ since the first game, yes I'm old), Civ 7 is quite ok in it's foundations, but it's clearly released too early and like the other parts before it's mainly a game about optimizing numbers, not so much about strategy.

Biggest turn off for me is the introduction of "rogue like" mechanics that give you to play certain characters and nations in a certain way to access others. Why would I want to have that crap in a strategy game?

Just look at the military decisions Hitler made, that was luckily an incompetent guy thinking he's smarter than everyone else. That rings a bell, doesn't it?

In the long run, making less stupid decisions wouldn't most likely have changed the outcome, but even more people would likely have died (and unfortunately the people executing the murder of the Jews weren't as incompetent as their glorious leader).

I guess the damage is done and once there is an actual smart guy without conscience and morals it'll get really ugly for democracy in the US.

Someone that places a sticker that unaligned on their car can't be a good person! /s

You're earning how much? (Well, inflation is a bummer)

You're taking dance classes without being forced? WHY?

You have how many cats? Man are they cute!

I don't believe a word about your relationships and sex life. And shame on you, if it would be true!

A lot of time has passed since I was 19 and looking back at that 19-year-old dude, he would have the hardest time understanding how I got to where I am now. If I could, I would try to beat some sense into that guy, which might have made things along the way easier.

23 months and 45 days? Is there any reasoning behind this depiction of the length of the hail time or is this just an error?

I played Humankind as well, but I like the execution in Civ better (despite the bugs and unfinished ui). Butt yes, the idea want original at all.

A phone reacting to "ok Google" or the equivalent for the other assistants already requires to listen to what you're saying - doesn't seem to affect battery life all that much.

When going for brands, like Lounge Underwear or even more expensive ones like Marlies Dekkers, Aubade or Lise Charmel (instead of cheap imports from China) there's almost never a problem with the size. There have been maybe 2 or 3 bras (cheap ones) that did not fit in the last twelve years and everything else has the same size and fits her.

You're spaced out.

This strategy might have only worked with the destruction of cities by nuclear weapons in Japan.

The resolve of the German population was not broken by the bombing of civilians. If they wouldn't have hit the military production capabilities and invaded with ground forces the war would have dragged on much longer (and Germany lacked vital resources in their territory, unlike Russia).

So even if your suggestion to bomb the civilians wouldn't be quite reprehensible by itself, it's extremely unlikely that this would end the war on it's own.

Just look at the numbers of soldiers Russia has lost, this didn't seem to faze the support of the general population so far either (families and friends if those who died it who were severely injured).

What I don't get as an outsider - this guy (like other equally weird persons as for example Mrs. Palin) is in a rather high political position.

How in the world are these people elected? Is it only about being in the preferred party or were their opponents even more incompetent?

That cop has a tattoo that's considered a recognition symbol of right extremists on his arm and was still hired several times.

Yes, giving aggressors a reward for their behavior is a historically tried and tested strategy and will make the world a more peaceful place. /s

Totally agree. Just finished it. My SO and I had a blast playing it - highly recommended!

Plus the wife is a sober alcoholic (according to her own videos, she did drink a real beer since her husband joined the military), the while situation won't make it easy for her to stay sober. Poor kids.

And I guess there aren't that many countries that might be less suited to move to if you had alcohol problems in your past.

After driving my current car with Android Automotive for over 45.000 km I can only advice to stay away from vehicles using it

Android Auto (with the car working as a display for your phone) is really nice. AA OS is not.

Arc Raiders is doing so many things right from the start. The overall package was even at release very well executed, it's an extraction shooter that keeps the tension of the genre while at the same time removing most of the frustrating elements. While there could be sind improvements to the Speranza UI design, the overall look of the game in game is stunning and it runs really well.

And looking at the number of players - if you release good, entertaining games, people will play them.

Give Victorious Dino Gods from Victorius a listen for a metal interpretation

You also have the option to give up newborns at hospital sites anonymously and safely without any fear of persecution. I would have expected that you would know such a thing if you're smart enough to become a lawyer, this was anything but a rational decision.
