Gotta wonder what part of “thou shalt not kill” is so difficult to understand for these people.

Those are better specs than what I used throughout college (an Asus Eee PC running Debian with Xfce and Openbox). Not a powerful machine, but I absolutely loved that thing.

Don’t worry. They will conduct an internal review, which will identify the officer at fault and punish him by having him go on paid vacation.

God of War has two big strengths that make it a great game in my opinion. The first is the story with its great characters, presentation, and voice acting. The second is the overall “feel” of the game, which can be a bit “game-y” at times but is really tight overall with only a handful of core mechanics that are exceptionally well implemented.

Assuming that “masterpiece” refers to the quality and impact the games had in their time (not how well they aged) some of my picks would be:

• Baldur’s Gate 2 + ToB
• Star Wars: KotoR
• Morrowind
• Read Dead Redemption 2
• The Witcher 3
• The Last of Us 1+2
• God of War
• Shadow of the Colossus
• The Legend of Zelda: BOTW
• Mass Effect 1+2
• Disco Elysium
• Half Life 2
• BioShock 1
• Diablo 2
• Fallout 2

I don’t know how objective this list is. Some picks are definitely subjective and fit more in a “flawed masterpiece” category of games that had a large impact on how I perceived games but that may not be so widely acclaimed as some others on this list.

Never said it was undeserved. The devs did a lot of things right, and they deserve all the positive feedback they get. It just didn’t click with me personally in a way that I felt like I needed to add to the hype.

It’s pretty good, although I think the hype is a bit over the top. The game is well done, enjoyable, and plays a lot like a modern JRPG (think Persona 5 and others).

Thank you for the explanation. Just one follow-up to check if I understood: The minority government would then just include the Liberals but with support from the Bloc Québécois (i.e., the Bloc has the power to veto, but the legislation will still come from the Liberals)?

That seems plausible, although I still wonder why a coalition with the Bloc is then not also on the table (there’s probably a reason, I just don’t know about Canadian politics).

Question for the Canadians: Do you have two or multiple parties in parliament? I’m asking because the article states that a minority government was the goal, and I was wondering whether a coalition government wouldn’t be more advantageous.

God bless you, Sir.

Come on, it’s gotta be at least 10^-7%.

What do you think about the game overall so far? My girlfriend loves AC, especially Origins and Odyssey, but was pretty disappointed in Valhalla and kind of meh about Mirage.

Gonna make a cool 800€ in only 5 minutes.

It’s a generational thing, too, though. At my parents’ place, they’ll look at me like I lost a limb when I drink tap water. Meanwhile, all the homies and homettes drink nothing but tap water.

You gotta ask for tap water, if you want tap water. Otherwise, they’ll bring you bottled water, which sells for more.

How is it possible to “accidentally” add a reporter from the Atlantic magazine to a Signal group chat? You can’t tell me this wasn’t deliberate.

It’s doable if you’re grossly and utterly incompetent while also being convinced that you’re the smartest bunch of people on earth (so mistakes are impossible).
