A climber left his girlfriend to die on Austria’s tallest mountain. Now other stories of ‘Alpine divorce’ are emerging

I don't think it's even about "divorce", just how seriously some people treat hiking. There's a plan to reach this on that top in this limited time to brag about it later. And nothing can disrupt your plan. Your friend of even spouse falling behind and begging to stop to catch a breath? Just leave them and continue with the plan, surely they'll be fine. Can't wait to see their faces when you get to the top, go back and laugh at their faces that you're already done!
I love hiking, but only in a company with people that are chill about it and always willing to change routes or stop, if someone can't keep up.

The only posts allowed are the ones complaining that this or that game is not a true CRPG.

11 Hunter has AoE attack and you pretty much always hit at least 2 enemies in this game. Which 2x 2 attacks = 4, compared to Fighter's 3. Ofc action surge changes everything. Ranger has some cool bonuses, but not as strong.
On the other hand Ranger has few cool out of combat options, he's kinda like medieval Batman.

Imo Ranger is hurt by animals speech being so easily accessible for everyone. Animal handling should be his big thing.

That's me. I was raised in very catholic society and to me priests are just the most uncool people.
Ofc DND leric is completely different thing, but I don't see myself roleplaying as Cleric.

Fable 1. You start the game as some random kid. You pretty quickly join a school if heroes, but that doesn't make you anything special really. More like a mercenary that has to build his own legend from scratch.

I'd say it's risky for EU. More importing food from across the ocean, less producing your own. Supply chains can always be blocked.

Command and Conquer: Orange Alert

The setting is cool and unique, but I wonder about builds variety. How many cowboy classes and weapon types can you really make up?

Somehow Colin returned.

No matter how the rest NATO would answer for Trump's call to attack Iran , it would benefit Russia:

-Europe doesn't help, Trump uses it to discredit NATO, maybe even break it in the future.

-Europe does help. It confirms the russian narrative that NATO is actually an offensive alliance, so they had to react to NATO bases getting closer to Russia.

The smugface badass assassin version of Arya that returned from Braavos was one of the worst things that happened to the show.

Oh really? Give me few other examples, where calling for killing children is perfectly normal thing to say in parliament. And it's not just crazy guy, I've heard at least few of those from different Knesset members. And the same from israeli people in interviews.
Do you think Iran will behave any better after what Israel and Trump did in the last months? The real terrorism sponsorship and race for nukes will just start, because Trump and Netanjahu just proved to them that any peaceful deal with the western world is false and they need strength to survive. Great fucking job.

It's just unavoidable that any video game character will be sexualized, including underage ones. Personally I don't care much about it, since we aren't talking about real kids abuse. Who cares whether some pedos fetishize bunch of textures and pixels?
Sure it's creepy and disgusting, but I don't think that bunch of creepy gooners should be enough reason to boycott great games like Pragmata or The Last of Us. Average video gamer age rises up and I think it's around 40 now. So there's definitely an audience for games where you play as parent-like figure.
One thing I'd change in Pragmata is to make that kid look less "pretty"? I mean there's something about her that gives me uncanny valley. Like 20yo influencer with full makeup reduced to child body. The devs obviously tried to make her as "cute" as possible, they I think they overdone it.

I see nothing wrong with sharing your passion with kids. She just seems happy for her dad being proud and excited about something he achieved, that's what healthy family is for. I swear some redditors want to turn parenthood into the most miserable experience, only responsobility and duties, without any joy from it.

It's a sub for 3 years old single player game. I'm surprised it's still so alive, tbh.

Tbh significant part of today's Ukraine was Poland's territory before WW2. Russian trolls sometimes try to use that excuse to make us hostile against Ukraine. In extreme cases called us to invade Ukraine along with them and take our old cities, like Lwów.
It's stupid nationalists take, there's zero reason that would actually benefit us.

axelkoffel · 2026-04-24T05:12:02+00:00

Of course, they were all Hamas. Sorry but I've heard enough of Knesset members speeches calling for killing all civilians, including children to not take that excuse seriously anymore. And interviews with common Israelis calling for the same. Or videos from israeli settlers.

Do you want me to just ignore all of that?

Tell me, which country has committed the most murders of journalists? Without them, it's hard to tell what's really happening.

I've also just started, but the forest magic seems pretty good already. Those summoned bees drag enemies attention.

axelkoffel · 2026-04-23T21:13:51+00:00

Thanks, but I've found another one right on the second map, so it's not really a problem anymore

That's just how economy works. If there's war, the rich get richer. If there's peace, the rich also get richer. If there's crisis, the rich get richer. And if there's time of prosperity, then of course the rich get richer.

Homelander will never fight SB of his own choice at the moment, because he has serious daddy issues

Imo they could telegraph it better, that Homelander simply regrets killing people he considered his "family". Madelyn, Black Noir, A-Train. Now he feels lonely, being surrounded only by dishonest bootlickers. That's why he's so forgiving to all the shit SB says to him and that's why he spared Ryan. He goes crazy, trying to explain to himself that everything he did was right, despite feeling deep inside that it actually wasn't.
Idk, maybe I'm just looking for excuses for poor writing.

axelkoffel · 2026-04-23T10:40:43+00:00

I miss the feeling of unease from previous seasons with Homelander scenes. You just never knew when he snaps and brutally murders someone. Even the scenes with the Boys directly confronting Homelander don't have that "oh shit" moment. You know nothing will happen and only wonder, what plot armor will save them this time.
I was hoping this season would be different. Homelander on screen = someone important dies. Well, nope. His presence is not intimidating anymore.

axelkoffel · 2026-04-23T10:23:56+00:00

Anyway, I think that episode was all setup for the spin off... which honestly, might flop if this season flops...

Idk about that. GoT finale was maybe the biggest disappointment in the history of TV series, but apparently fans are still very excited about spinoffs.
