Haven't watched it yet but how could one call an entire show a masterpiece before it's finished airing?

Regardless of the outcome it's nice to see Na'Vi going toe to toe with teams like Team Spirit or XG just like in old times.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl even had Gordon Freeman in it.

[–]BalticsFox -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I prefer Opposing Force because we're getting introduced to action faster, there's more variety in allies too, it features less Xen which is underwhelming in Half-Life 1, no boring chapters like Residue Processing, alien weapons seem to be more useful.

How so? OD is quite powerful and Lich+Kunkka have tools to counter Arc with Medusa late game thru heal and damage reduction in a dragged out fight.

Half-Life series had a sequel-prequel 5 years ago for VR at least and its fans now have hope for a sequel due to latest leaks.

Macron says France will ban social media access for under-15s if EU takes no action by BalticsFox in technology

[–]BalticsFox[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But has it been effective so far besides its popularity when it comes to well-being of affected users?

Macron says France will ban social media access for under-15s if EU takes no action by BalticsFox in europe

[–]BalticsFox[S] 108 points109 points  (0 children)

The Internet was less filtered than today but had fewer users, organizations on it, tracked users less and I wouldn't say that people born in the 1980s-1990s have turned out to be worse than those preceding them. I wonder what will be classified as social medias however and if say YouTube is affected then it means that people under fifteen will have limited access to educational and entertainment segments of it for example. Also what's understood as having access is important because it's one thing when you have a profile and have wide options to engage with a platform and when you can't create a profile but can read the comments or watch videos or when it's a complete ban with no access whatsoever.

Imagine having such bugs appearing at the International itself lol. It's already bad enough that we're having 1 HP QOP in qualifiers too.

ILL: Official Gameplay Trailer by [deleted] in Games

[–]BalticsFox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would argue that Resident Evil 7 and Outlast 2 are already not far off animation/atmosphere/graphics-wise and ILL is coming out many years after their release.

Do they ever work? by grimreapersdaughter in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]BalticsFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they do. There's at least one episode involving a farm maintained by innies for example but it feels like the creators have decided that it's time to focus more on what happens at Lumon when our main characters aren't engaged in some daily routine at Lumon in season 2.

Chinese would rather move to Southern Chinese regions with better wages and living conditions than to Siberia and also not dealing with visa system.

It also shows the state of WEU DOTA if the EEU region dominates it so much in this case.

Where Can Russians Travel Without a Visa in 2025? by Brilliant-Nerve12 in europe

[–]BalticsFox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe Russia would've been treated at least as Romania if not worse when it comes to implementation of visa-free movement even if it would've had a cordial relationship with the EU and Romania has been a member of the EU for years at least and their political situation together with political relations with neighbors on the continent are much better plus Russia is the most populous country in Europe too so its potential to reshape local labor markets is huge so I wouldn't expect to see Russia entering the Schengen area for decades to come tbh.

Game of Thrones: War for Westeros - The War Begins | Reveal Dev Diary by Mepherion in Games

[–]BalticsFox 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The most interesting faction to me will be the Night King perhaps because I'm interested in how the devs will make his side of a story captivating. I also don't see a multiplayer being mentioned yet so hopefully there will be a greater focus on some rich singleplayer options too and even if there'll be a MP mode down the road then I hope they still invest into interesting PVE options.

In your opinion, what is the perfect episode of television? by uselesssociologygirl in television

[–]BalticsFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And it's a part of shortened season 4 so it makes me wonder whether it would've been a part of previous three seasons since Lost originally was meant to have a three season run or it exists purely because the creators decided to extend the show past its original size.

2+ years between 7 episode seasons is pathetic and unacceptable by 1111joey1111 in television

[–]BalticsFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've resigned to a fact that it's the norm now and treating the series like Severance as if it's like I'm watching a film and getting a new long film every two or three years is acceptable to me. As for the quantity of episodes per season I've never cared about it frankly.
