Apparently it’s got more to do with Publishers not giving GOG the attention it deserves. They don’t opt in on setting up regional pricing.
Gog could do more I think, like defaulting it to on, and encouraging publishers.
They could adopt something like a purchasing power parity rates table.
But I also think that Publishers don’t want to see GOG succeed.
- Comment on Anon loves GOG 1 week ago:
They do, but their regions are not aligned with Steam, so for a lot of people in many countries, it’s 3-4 times more expensive than on steam.
It does not matter for AAA titles, as those scumbags charge the same price across all regions in steam anyway.
But for many mid tier and indie games, it’s a tough ask to get someone to pay 10% of their monthly income for a game they can get for 3% of their income on steam.
It’s the only thing stopping me from buying on GOG
- Comment on Voyager crew incompetence. Has Trek always been like this? 5 weeks ago:
Not saying its not lazy or convenient writing, but let’s equate it to serving on a marine vessel.
History is full of story’s of long term voyages going badly due to mistakes and oversights. Just look at more recent examples with the well documented problems when a US crew serves on a ship away from port for just under a year.

Based on what I read after, given the injury to the Tibia, Mabe the Fibula’s middle was sacrificed for a bone graft, rather than cutting open his good leg as well.

It probably was not recoverable when they repaired whatever made that Titanium splint and screws neccesary.

You are assuming they worked to begin with.
AI has been an amazing tool for those with no ability to think, think slightly.
Like a peg leg helps a amutee walk.

They are also the first Hindu republic to get one, the first Polish Republic, the first South African, the first Australian, etc etc
Its called being a multi cultural society. Its is everything that makes people civilized. Its exactly what that the Zionists, the Islamic extremists and the Christian fundamentalism hate.

Genetic behavioural changes is a fascinating topic and the more studies that come out on it, the faster it seems to be able to act to have an effect
Just look at how quickly agriculture changes human societies living in the right conditions to practice it.
We are talking thousands of years, not even tens of thousands of years, or hundreds of thousands.
Given any factor that is core to survival, there seems to be a genetic impact much more quickly than previously thought. It does have its limits of course, we are not talking something with a measurable effect over 3 or 4 generations, but 30-40 generations seems to be possible in some cases.
Maybe the village fire keeper was a lot more reproductively popular that we previously thought.

Nothing in the modern context, but 10000 years ago. If you were a black African and your fire went out, your food might not het cooked or that predator might take a chance to grab one of the kids.
If you were a white person in northern europe, your fire going out meant that everyone froze solid overnight.
Fire was just more essential in climates that developed white skins. Socially and genetically, that has an impact on behaviour.

Its called Xenophobia.
Xenophobia and racism are distinct forms of prejudice: xenophobia is the fear or hatred of foreigners, while racism is the belief in racial superiority and systemic oppression based on race. Though they overlap, they target people for different reasons.

Budget 😂. In South Africa that’s one of their largest sedans.
Hyundai Accent is the budget one. Elantra is the mid-size one. I doubt either are available in the US.
The US car market is so cooked.

Correct, we are likely going to need to do geoengineering for a 100-200 years while CO2 gets reduced gradually.
Baking soda aerosols are looking promising. They can just at 2-3% sodium additive to all jet aircraft exhaust and it will be enough to reverse the current levels of elevated CO2.
Start doing some real chemtrails.

Correct. Its a combination of regular flaring and CME’s and the fact that their habital zone is very close to it.

I don’t recall this being new, when I was growing up in the 80’s astronomers were citing the unstable nature of red dwarfs as a major filter in the Fermi paradox.
