Bummer about the bugs, but it sounds like the game is promising dispite them. Hopefully they’ll be able to squash the majority of them over the next few months.

Hate is baggage. Life’s too short to be pissed off all the time. It’s just not worth it.

Originally played on orange box on the 360, I’m surprised I didn’t already have it on steam. Glad I stumbled on this post

- Comment on Toxic smog in Pakistan is so bad you can see it from space 1 week ago:
NJ was engulfed in smog from Canadian wildfires back in the summer of 2023. I don’t think our AQI ever passed 500, and it was difficult to go outside even briefly without feeling the effects back then. I can’t begin to imagine what an AQI over 1,200 is like.

They’re usually targeting “whales”. I can’t say if whales are more inclined to be triggered by poor gameplay than the rest of us but that may be the case.

That’s not an accident. They want you to feel compelled to get the game and play it “the right way”

I guess the US is hoping events like this will result in internal conflict that may somehow result in regime change?
I worry for the people of Cuba, it’s a shame what they’ve been saddled with due to international relations that are outside of their control.

- Comment on US urges Israel to stop shooting at UN peacekeepers in Lebanon 5 weeks ago:
Just did some reading on the history of UNIFIL, here’s some highlights
In February 2021, Lebanese journalist and opponent of Hezbollah Lokman Slim was abducted and murdered by Hezbollah while in a UNIFIL-controlled area of Lebanon.
An official source within the Lebanese government informed Al Jazeera that, despite UNIFIL’s shortcomings, the force had been responsible for regularly hosting and mediating negotiations between Lebanese and Israeli forces, helping to defuse tensions.
On 6 April 1980, clashes between UNIFIL peacekeepers and the South Lebanon Army, an Israeli-backed Lebanese militia, began when the SLA attacked Irish troops based in At Tiri. The Irish soldiers held their ground and called in Dutch and Fijian peacekeepers as reinforcements. The battle ended on 12 April when the Dutch contingent employed TOW missiles against the SLA. During the battle, two UNIFIL peacekeepers were killed: Stephen Griffin, a 21-year-old Private from the 46th Irish Battalion, from Rahoon in County Galway, and Sevati Sovonaivalu of the Fijian Army. One SLA soldier, 19-year old Massoud Bazzi, was also killed.[239][240]
