Peaceful?!? It's a bloodbath! Well, without the blood... Just throwing those adorable little bastards into harm's way, over and over...

The Pikmin games are so damned good that I'll actually buy a system just to play Pikmin 4.

I found my old GameCube in storage last month, and cannot wait to show the original two to the kids.

Fan noise is my only real complaint about last year's batch of 3060 laptops. Otherwise amazingly satisfied with them.

Ahh, the 90s.

...and 00s.

Good times.

@simonthekid7: There's a solid 15-20h of content in the main game in Cities Skylines before it becomes all repetition, so that's not too bad.

I was fairly satisfied after filling up a couple of adjacent maps.

Nice! Looking forward to Atomic Heart after finishing Hogwart's Legacy (easy GotY candidate thus far - plays like Witcher3 with the cinematic prowess of God of War).

Fingers crossed that Atomic Heart gets a rapid series of patches after release -- new devs with games of this scale typically learn A LOT when their first game hits massive numbers of users. (Valheim was a good analogy on Steam.)

This is the right way to do it.

@simonthekid7: I suspect it'll work. You technically own a 0-cost license to the game, unless their Store used a unique SKU for the free version.

@Barighm: The entire point of regulators is to ensure that the government gets their cut.

...and abaolutely, bribes come in many forms. Money is exchanging hands here.

Hold that same paper up against Apple or Google today -- the only difference is that Apple and Google learned how to pay. Lots of schools and foundations getting projects paid for with their dollars around here...

Recommend an audit of that regulator's bank accounts, posessions, and associates. Look for a sudden influx of money.
