They don't have an army, true, but the reason they don't need one is that they are a part of NATO, and are exempt from the requirements of contributing to NATOs standing forces in return for providing facilities and land to the alliance.

So Björk is being at bit disingenuous. It's not like the Icelanders are a shining beacon of pacifism and diplomacy, they're just part of a big military alliance.

I've bee on the beta for a while now, and I still haven't encountered a game that couldn't be shared like this. I played Cyberpunk 2077 through Steam Family.

I guess it gets somewhat blurred when you don't need to kill stuff to eat, but you do it anyway because you like the taste better. That's arguably some version of killing for fun?

Sindssygt lækker film. Skarp skrevet og filmet, alt i filmen er med til at fokusere det centrale koncept. Stærkt skuespil fra Urban uden at tage hjelmen af. Stormesteren Alex Garland viser sin tydelige hånd i manuskript og produktion. Og "forhandlingsscenen" med Lena Heady til sidst er bare kanon. 5/5 stjerner.

What on earth are you talking about?

There's nothing easier than just explicitly checking in whether you've read the signals correctly or not before making any creepy moves.

Tip #1 for flirting: Make sure that the other person has a very easy way out of anything they might not like. Then you know they're enthusiastically consenting for whatever comes next.

I quite liked the vibe, but got frustrated about the artificial progress blocks. If you're a competent deck builder it's pretty easy to build a deck that beats the game master, but then you get to a point where he just throws infinite enemies at you and you are forced to lose.

I get it, the gameplay requires you to lose a number of times, but it just turned me off from finishing the game.

Replaying Kingdom Come: Deliverance, but this time no save scumming and on the Steam Deck. It's really good, but the slight vibe of sexism bugs me.

Also playing the excellent Tactical Breach Wizards.

It's incredible, feels like such a perfect addition to an already excellent game.

I had a similar experience. I think it was mainly the small combat encounters that dragged out, as well as there being something off about the tone. But it's hard to put my finger on exactly.

Causation can be neither proven nor disproven with so few data points, especially since there's a lot of other correlations going on. For example, the high tuition WTA countries are also mostly former parts of the British Empire, with Britain having a somewhat different history of higher education and democracy than continental Europe, who takes up all of the spots on the Free Tuition side. So the cause might just be inheriting s particular system from Britain.

But PR and free tuition is of course superior.

Playing hardcore literally has me scared like a mouse riding through the woods. Whenever I see something or someone on the road ahead, I immediately turn around and find a different path. Perfect immersion.

Solid matter physics would be a more straightforward name - it's just the physics of matter that isn't liquid or gas, which usually means crystals.
