Honestly, I've heard or read very little about Iraq after the war, so I have no idea what happened there since then. Unfortunately I think the country is still mostly being associated with war and crisis here in Germany. I think it's a very interesting place especially for its ancient history though. Some of the first highly developed civilizations arose there. Would love to visit places like Ur, Babylon or Nineveh one day.

The UN was created after WW2 to prevent another world war and have a diplomatic channel between all countries that is always open. It's far from perfect, but it's definitely better than what we had before.

Removing a country from the UN for doing horrible things would defeat the UN's entire purpose.

Only thing I can think of are maybe the catching mechanics (which are straight out of Legends: Arceus). No idea if these would be considered unique enough to be patentable, guess we'll find out.

Crazy, that tactic sounds straight out of a science fiction novel - 80s science-fiction, given it's pagers, but still... I really wonder how they pulled it off. Did the IDF design the explosive pagers in the first place or did they find some insane hardware/software flaw that allowed that kind of remote explosion?

so… I take the multiplayer parts are going to be going away soon-ish, as offline mode is incoming and 1€ pricetag atm? Is this a last squeeze for the game?

Maybe, but it's worth noting that Ubi gave away the Crew 1 for free back in 2016, 7 years before it shut down. So I wouldn't necessarily take this sale as an indication of a shutdown coming soon (though it definitely could happen).

FWIW, they've announced they'll add an offline mode to this game. Personally I liked this game less that The Crew 1 when I played it during a free weekend though.

My unpopular internet opinion is that RoP Season 1 was actually pretty good, so if they stay on that path with season 2 I have little to complain about.

"An unsettling number of folks break into song" is a weird criticism for a Tolkien-based series. If anything, that was something the LOTR movies lacked.

I've been playing the new Guild Wars 2 expansion "Janthir Wilds". Very enjoyable, with a nice setting and soundtrack.

I've bought Spin Rhythm XD on the recent Steam Sale. Quite a nice rhythm game, with excellent native Steam Deck support.

I've also been giving Deadlock a go. So far hasn't really clicked for me though. Doesn't help that I'm not a big MOBA player, the only one I've enjoyed so far is Heroes of the Storm.

I don't actually know, but in my mind the audience most likely to watch those cruel "pranks" and find them funny are kids or teenagers themselves.

I'd love to get another singleplayer game as well, but I've accepted that Valve is just unpredictable. I'm sure they haven't given up on Singleplayer and we'll get another singleplayer game... at some point. Their previous game was the fantastic Half-life Alyx after all.
