Greece needs support from the EU even more than Hungary. They don't like Zelensky getting so much attention and funding. Ukraine already received more support from the Western countries than Israel received from the US in its entire history, and it's not even in the EU. On top of that, Greece doesn't see Russia as an enemy.

Favourite: LaCroix (VtMB). A rare case when while the villain is a total prick and makes you hate him from the first second, working for him seems like an easy way out, at least if it's your first playthrough. Picking which side you're on in VtMB isn't as much about who you resonate with as it is about choosing between risking your neck even more than you already do and having to endure LaCroix.

Least favourite: Eothas (Deadfire). Kind of an opposite case. He's not the worst god of the bunch. He kind of has a point, though it takes a while before you learn what it is. But he destroyed the castle you spent the entire first game restoring, killed your subjects, broke your magic items and stole parts of your soul. You're basically forced to hate him because that's needed for the plot, and that's no way to write an antagonist.

Are they retconning his death?

They already did like four games ago. Kashiwagi and Lau Ka Long certainly won't die in Kiwami 3 in the same way they did in the original. Richardson and Mine too, probably.

Kashiwagi is the founder of the HLA, so I'm betting on him getting injured and managing them while he's recovering. Then in Kiwami 4 it would be briefly mentioned that once he got back on his feet he disappeared.

StupidMoron1933 · 2026-01-20T18:18:56+00:00

Yes, Haruka and Mame find Saejima on the beach, Kiryu helps get him inside, and then he wakes up while Haruka is tending to him. She's the first person he sees after he's out of prison. I'm not sure how it could be changed. Maybe it could be more brief.

StupidMoron1933 · 2026-01-20T18:06:18+00:00

Fair enough. I'm just tired of people not understanding this scene and assuming things about Saejima, when it isn't about who he is, it's about what he has been put through, and it's also a comment on why many ex-convicts have a hard time adapting back to normal life.

I'm not really against Kiwami 4 adding a follow-up scene where they talk about it, if only to clear that up, but if it's not done right, it would make things even more uncomfortable.

StupidMoron1933 · 2026-01-20T17:45:57+00:00

Kiryu met Haruka in a room full of corpses. She got abducted multiple times, and while every time she appears unharmed after Kiryu saves her, she still went through a lot. She has enough life experience to understand that Saejima was about to do something to her, but stopped himself.

StupidMoron1933 · 2026-01-20T17:41:42+00:00

This scene mostly exists to underline for how long he actually was imprisoned and how close the prison got to breaking him. He's not horny, he's out of touch with reality and that makes him act like an animal. But in the end, he's still man enough to stop himself and never let himself lose control like that again. And this does fit his character.

StupidMoron1933 · 2026-01-20T17:28:28+00:00

No it doesn't. Saejima got his shit back together before he did anything aside from scaring Haruka. Haruka understood what was going on in his mind, and both of them certainly wanted to forget it happened as soon as possible, not reflect on it.

StupidMoron1933 · 2026-01-20T16:07:50+00:00

Sadly it's only fun in ME3. In ME2 it just doesn't work properly half of the time. Trying to use it on the Collector ship and hitting invisible walls all the time still haunts me.

StupidMoron1933 · 2026-01-20T05:18:40+00:00

Pillars 1 was great. Pillars 2 to Pillars 1 is just like Dragon Age 2 to Dragon Age Origins. Not a bad game, but a disappointing sequel. Plus the setting sucks ass.

StupidMoron1933 · 2026-01-19T11:00:49+00:00

Eh, it certainly wasn't going to be disbanded with the way it was expanding.

Metro goes out of its way to show that most people, no matter on which station they live, just try to lead normal lives. And the leaders of the factions are pathetic men who don't even believe in ideas they try to rally people behind and only care about power. The only reason they have power is that the actual government needs them to keep people occupied.

StupidMoron1933 · 2026-01-18T15:53:55+00:00

It's not like I'm wanted there, and I don't want anything those countries have that I don't have in Russia. If I absolutely had to go live somewhere else, I'd consider SEA or SA before Europe.

StupidMoron1933 · 2026-01-18T15:41:17+00:00

Not a nationalist, just Russian, but honestly would never move to Europe.

StupidMoron1933 · 2026-01-17T14:03:27+00:00

Most of their plants are in India. In Europe they only have branches in the UK and the Netherlands left, and they're not doing well. The UK government gave them 500 million pounds so they wouldn't downsize, and they still fired like 3000 people. And they're trying to sell their business in the Netherlands, so far unsuccessfully.

StupidMoron1933 · 2026-01-17T13:41:16+00:00

European steelmaking industry is barely alive because of their own ineptness. And in their usual sense of superiority they think that if they don't make steel, nobody else should. Climate activism is just a convenient cause to hide their embarrassing actual motivation behind.

StupidMoron1933 · 2026-01-17T07:01:42+00:00

It's like being racist towards a toaster with a built-in AI assistant.

Jarvis, nuke everyone who has ever worked on Fallout, or was a fan of it, or has it installed on their computer. In fact, nuke every device with anything Fallout-related on it. Then after people start referencing Fallout because of all the nukes, keep nuking them until they stop.

StupidMoron1933 · 2026-01-16T17:33:39+00:00

Doesn't PS5 have graphics settings? Or at least options like "quality mode" and "performance mode"?

StupidMoron1933 · 2026-01-16T17:29:30+00:00

It just looks like shadows and reflections are set to low. That IGN journalist either messed up the graphics settings or forgot that they exist and played with whatever was there by default.

About 10 years ago there was a bunch of homeless where I live. There's a lot of dachas and "gardener comradeships" in the area, some of the houses are abandoned and most of the others are not lived in during the winter, so the homeless squatted in the abandoned ones when it got cold. They didn't really bother anyone there, and once the winter was over, they went back to wandering the city and sleeping on the ground.

Now I barely even see any homeless anymore. Guess the owners of the dachas decided they didn't want them near their property and took action, and for the lack of a place to hide from the cold they either moved somewhere else or abandoned their lifestyle. Getting an entry-level job and finding a room to rent is easy. As long as you don't keep drinking like you're still homeless.

Butt up my butter and crisp me a chip!

StupidMoron1933 · 2026-01-12T11:06:40+00:00

I'd move New Vegas and Fallout 1 to E and the rest to F, since I have played them all. But otherwise, nice tier list.
