I'm a veteran male gamer from the UK. My RPG playing goes way back past Baldur's Gate, to student D&D. On BSN and Xbox as SofaJockey. Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Horizon, Fallout, Last of Us, God of War, Hitman, Death Stranding, Day's Gone & Assassin's Creed.

I used pre-decimal in early childhood.
An Illogical and antiquated system with 240 pennies (20 shillings) to the pound.
Pleased the UK saw the back of it.
A shame some vestiges of the imperial system remain.
Itβs hard enough making and selling games that people were bothered to make. π«€

That's completely correct.
The invasion of Ukraine by Russia is a disgusting travesty.
But should we do messaging about Ukraine, Gaza, Iran and many other conflicts or climate change or animal welfare or left wing vs right wing or culture wars...

IOC is right.
Totally correct decision from IOC.
If this is allowed then it opens the rules for all sorts of political messaging.
No issue with important respectful message athlete is making, just not on the track during competition.
Grr.

A nice blend of cheese and class.
Very Italian.
Either way. A peaceful message doesn't hurt in our current world.
And two weeks of brave people throwing themselves down snowy mountains is an entertaining bonus.

Reality isn't required.
It's a prompt for more click farming.
Given a choice, the current Labour administration is preferable to the last lot.
However, it's the job of the Prime Minister to direct and present a competent government both in the present and to sell its future promise to gain a further term.
That part of the job is failing badly. π€

(actually, no. I just had to look up how to make one.)
'Melania' is the 44th worst IMdB US movie. 1.3/10.
The worst is 'The World Enslaved by a Virus' 1.0/10
If you include international entries, the actual worst movie is the 2022 Slovenian documentary also titled 'Melania'. 1.0/10

I like that you can play as a character that authentically recreates a character from the old Fable series.
That's what I'll be doing.
