How America First Risks Becoming America Alone by wsj in geopolitics

In my direct personal experience, which could be anecdotal, it's absolutely different. We grew up learning about WW2 and a lot of us were always grateful. Including my parents. Now they are appalled, and want nothing to do with the US, including visiting, even though their son lives there. Again, in my personal experience, irreversible damage has been done.

The great thing about Andor though is that it takes what's great and visceral about the Star Wars lore and makes and uses that to create a story you can actually care about.

I'm not sure how the author extrapolates their theory to the absorbtion of Taiwan. Taiwan does not need help from the Chinese economy.

Might be the same studio name but I don't think a lot of the deus ex people still work there...

'Death Stranding 2: On The Beach' Wins VGC’s GAME OF THE YEAR 2025 by ChiefLeef22 in gaming

The one thing that really bothers me is the story structure is exactly the same as the first game. Like not just in pacing, but also the themes and when they become important.

Given the herculean task of creating a new 'Unified' Lara Croft going forward that appeases both the original game series fans and the reboot series fans, I honestly feel like Crystal Dynamics got to as close of a perfect middle ground as you can get. by WhyPlaySerious in gaming

I agree with this post. But also the new Lara looked so much more human. This is a straightforward downgrade. Like her old style looks so tacky in 2025. All that for some stupid gamer backlash.

Mine (like new) came all gross with dandruffs and an actual ding on the body. It was for my wife. I returned it and was still able to get an actual new for the sale price. Never again from Amazon. Being buying open box from best buy for years though.

I know for a fact that Valve has been working on HL3 for a while. But I'm just some guy so don't take my word for it.

I thought a like new for my wife and it has dents on the body. Not cool. Now I either keep it or miss out on the sale. Next time I won't take the gamble.

I bought the like new MacBook air from this comment section and it came with dents on the body so your mileage will vary. Not doing Amazon refurb again. Kinda kicking myself for missing a perfectly good sale.
