Lol, it was actually a meme that British drivers would never get penalised tho'

Well, sucks for Lando, but I think he would've gotten a penalty for that overtake if he didn't get one for track limits. He might've had a chance if they just gave back track position right away and keep fighting.

To me it looked like Lando would've gone off track either way, and he wasn't ahead in the apex.

That overtake moment has to be Norris penalty?
But the rest of that battle was absolute cinema.

Can't really compare both, different circumstances.

I thought the moon wasn't an option because of a bunch of reasons?
Like no resources, no gravity, no atmosphere, can't grow/harvest anyting, and the ground isn't good to build on or something. It would be too dependent on resources coming from Earth. Not that Mars is that great, but apparently it has a lot more options.

Not sure what I'm being misled over? It literally says on Wikipedia as well:
Sweet Baby Inc. is a Canadian narrative development and consultation studio based in Montreal. Founded by former Ubisoft developers, including scriptwriter Kim Belair and product manager David Bédard, the company consults on video game narratives during development to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion within game narratives and studios.
Also, in every game they've worked on it's quite obvious which part they've been involved with, based on the above.
But people on this sub really just like to keep shooting the messenger huh 🙄

It means exactly what DEI is. So yeah, predominantly focusing on non-white people and non-straight people.
They are a studio that consults on specifically this in games they're collaborating with.

That feels like very optimistic wishful thinking.

Like I said, some good games. Which by the way still received criticism from people about certain DEI related involvements, whether you agree or disagree with that is different thing, but the criticism was there too.

I remember it from one of the recent game conferences, but basically only because of the actress that played in the Witcher show too. Pretty much forgot about it immediately.

From what I know Sweet Baby Inc. is involved. Which is a studio that focuses a lot on DEI when it comes to narratives/story in games.
They already did not have the greatest track record, some good games, but a lot of mediocre and even bad games. It doesn't necessarily mean that the game scores are related to DEI, but the fact it keeps happening to games they're involved with says at least something.

I enjoyed plenty of phone and tablet games back in the day, when it all started (god I feel old). When there were both amazing free and paid games. But then they started including ads, and microtransactions, and then battle passes, and then unskippable ads and promotions, and then progression got locked behind paywalls, etc.
I'm sure there are a few good games out there, but the few attempts I tried a few mobile games again it feels like I always run into having to pay to progress sooner or later. It's most definitely nothing like the golden ages back around 2010.

What self-respecting RTS and/or AoE fan plays this kind of stuff on mobile anyway?
Barely anything good ever comes from these kind of mobile games, or any mobile games in general for that matter.

Can't imagine they would put a helldiver on there and then not feature them in an episode lol, would expect more than just a background cameo, since the game came out this year.

One of the few games where I thought storms were an actual danger.
The way those storms rolled in and turned peace into pure chaos. Driving around avoiding thunderstrikes. Going on foot meant having to dodge pieces of debris or getting yeeted to some unknown part of the map. Actually required to take shelter somewhere. Storms felt actually like it really added something to the game beyond just a different skybox and rain. That was good shit.

That's been pretty much a similar experience I used to have. Especially online games often suffer from poor Linux support because anti-cheat systems aren't working, or not up-to-date, or something else entirely. It just felt like there was always something. I just want to boot up my PC and get going. Not boot it up and having to spend half the evening trying to figure out why a random driver/game/anti-cheat update destroyed everything that was working fine.
I'd be fine trying it again, but I know that a few games I play are still struggling with Linux issues, judging by the regular posts popping up on the related social media platforms.

That's the thing. I play a lot of online games, not specifically competitive games, but they frequently do use stuff like EAC. And the amount of times I've seen EAC issues paired with Linux posts pop up on various social platforms is ridiculous. It seems like a recurring thing that requires constant maintenance. Not to mention I use Windows for more than just games. Stuff like Adobe doesn't even work on Linux and probably won't be anytime soon either (and no I am not going to use alternative programs).
The effort and time it takes to get stuff working on Linux usually isn't worth it, and then there's hoping that everything stays working whenever something gets updated.
It's quite ridiculous how a lot of people on this platform take it as a personal insult though. The article title is complete clickbait anyway.

Okay, well, I hope it takes me out for dinner first.

Until games fully support Linux or the other way around, I won't be using Linux.
Also can't really say that I care about Copilot that much. I don't use it and it doesn't bother me.
Edit: lol the people triggered by this will never not be entertaining.
It's always the same "Games work fine on Linux... But..". And it's that "but" that's usually a massive problem or nuisance to work with.
No thanks. I'll stick to Windows for gaming just fine.
Figured instead of doing daily shots I'll just dump a load of screens in an album in no particular order. Some shots might've been posted here before. Be warned though, there are (minor) spoilers in some of them. All screenshots are taken with the in-game photo tool on PC and unedited.
