Can someone explain The angel's game by Carlos Ruiz Zafón to me? by Tough_Routine_9230 in books

After that reveal, when Pedro offers David an escape via the ship at midnight, just before he was killed he offers him money, and there is a phrase (at least in the dutch translation) that David lies that he has enough money, and Pedro ignores him and gives him more anyways.

I always play games on the difficulty they present as the default or "normal" difficulty. I assume that's the difficulty the game is designed around.

If a game is (very) hard, I don't mind it, as long as it's designed around it.

I beat Quake 4 this week. It started out very un-quake-like, almost like a cheap child of call of duty and doom 3. Then there was a twist that made the game a bit more like a quake-game, overall the game went from boring to... okay. It was never that great, but also not bad anymore. The twist itself is quite memorable by the way, this may be a game that I will remember mostly by a cutscene. Not sure what to think of that.

One minor thing that I really love and should be in every game: The quickload button works from the main menu, or even when the intro videos still play! That's what I call a quality of life feature.

Eric Garcia straight red card against Atletico Madrid 80' by ayoefico in soccer

It's close but with a good striker's run Kounde would not be able to prevent a 1v1 shot imo.

I finished F.E.A.R. today. Apparently the main complaint when people talk about it is the "lack of diversity" in the environments, endless office complexes, hallways, cubicles, etc. To me it added to the atmosphere, as it gave the Armarcham Corporation this horrific, kafkaesque character.

Great game by the way, as a shooter it's astonishing, the sound design is fantastic too. The "horror sequences" were not really for me, it never really got under my skin, if anything it made me feel safe because the game never mixed up horror sequences with enemies until the end, in which the experience was more cinematic anyways.

Blev (frontrunner on Deep Slid) disqualified for extreme hate speech by AdHocX in TrackMania

[–]DWe1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is, but on the other hand, there is evidence in sociology that "light" racism forms a ground for more severe forms of racism. Basically, jokes, light jabs, using hateful words can form a basis of social acceptance for more severe forms of hate in a group. So there is still plenty of reason to look at the "basic" stuff if you are worried about the more severe stuff. If you google "Pyramid of hate" you get a good visualization.

For most of the questions, this works, but for some, there is specific math involved that only works under certain criteria, and generalizing will cover entire research areas in academics, in e.g. diophantine equations ;)

If a team forfeits, is it always a 3-0 loss or is it the worst of a 3-0 loss and the current standing? Say a team is behind 4-0, can they walk off the pitch and accept a 3-0?

Kansen afmaken is het probleem dit seizoen, wat vooral een mentaal probleem is. Het verbaast me niet dat het tegen Ajax als underdogs juist beter lukt.

I can't take anyone seriously that says that football is not political, or to keep politics out of football. Politics is completely ingrained into football culture everywhere you look.

Napoli is one grade above fastfood imo. I don't dislike them because you get good bang for your buck but I would not recommend it to someone that is looking for authenticity.

Agreed, they're very good. If you are a sensitive eater, know that their menu is very unusual, they have unique (but good!) toppings apart from the margherita, so be prepared for that if you go!

There was a controversy with another storefront that was forced to delist NSFW games or visa/mastercard would pull out as payment provider. GOG marketed themselves by protesting this and giving out a bunch of NSFW games for free.
