  We don’t know anything about it. Maybe it takes place before blood and wine, or before the whole game? Maybe it’s only a ramp up to W4, can’t judge it there until we know more.

  While I’m all against polluting, that would make a fine artificial reef at the bottom of the lake.

  All the information we have is in the blurb above

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Witcher Expansion? In 2026?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that’s absolutely what is happening. The fires for the Witcher have calmed in the fans to a few hot coals, this will stoke them up so fans are frothing for Witcher 4

  As we learned with Cyberpunk, it’s much better for them to take their time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Italy’s top court rules against tourist refused tap water in Dolomites hotel⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If you haven’t been to Italy, there are quite a few cultural differences to be aware of. One of them is generally you don’t make demands, dinner is an experience that you are there to have and they want to give you their experience. So it’s at least worth calling out that it could be part of the experience they want you to have.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Italy’s top court rules against tourist refused tap water in Dolomites hotel⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Man, that’s hard. When I go there I try to follow etiquette closely, it’s their custom and I want to follow it, and the woman may have been a bit of a Karen.

  However, tap water should be free. Anywhere. Maybe I just hiked a mile to get there. Maybe I’m just thirsty. 7 euro to drink water is simply extortion of your tourists. If that’s etiquette then it’s wrong.

  Satisfactory is a model train simulator, prove me wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox makes more leadership changes, hiring analyst who said games were losing the attention battle with gambling, crypto and porn as chief strategy officer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll concede there, sports gaming and sports gaming are very overlapping venn diagrams

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox makes more leadership changes, hiring analyst who said games were losing the attention battle with gambling, crypto and porn as chief strategy officer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What an odd statement. Xbox is in direct competition with porn and crypto? Do they know any of those things? Do they think people are just like “hm, 60 dollars. I could game, buy porn, or crypto. Hmmmmmm”

  Anything to avoid looking inward. Their IPs have empty corporate souls because they’re made by souless corporate entities. Halo, Gears, Starfield, all shallow empty stories, and gamers are tired of it.

  Of course they don’t have souls so they assume gamers done either. Couldn’t be that were gaming to enjoy a story or feel something deeply, no we’re literally debating on gambling or video games. Jesus Christ so out of touch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beloved whale mural painted over for FIFA World Cup artwork⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Think of the poor corporations, there are so few places to advertise on!

  I mean in a downtown core, where else do you advertise? Billboards? Other walls? Street signs? Busses? Storefronts? Paint on the street itself?

  What they’re supposed to be content with just those few thousand options?

  What a sad dystopian thing, to decide that a mural that’s brought joy is somehow less important than your temporary ad, and worse than that, that there were so many other places it could have gone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PlayStation boss says single-player games won’t come to PC going forward | VGC⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  For those who don’t know, is largely because of Xbox supporting PC games on their consoles, and then also the Steam Frame. All of a sudden they know their hardware won’t matter. Not excusing it, it’s still incredibly shitty, but this is the main driver.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I guess I won't see a concert tonight.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  yep, welcome to the horrible conversation. It’s a full on monopoly. They control the venues, the ticketing, the marketing, the selling, everything. Unfortunately as a consumer/concertgoer you have two options: Deal with it or never go. Artists who refuse to use them get blacklisted from them and that means they don’t get the large venues, or the good locations, so that’s about it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My son job lowered their hiring wage instead of raising it.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If Walmart is paying more, than it’s time to go work for Walmart. As the other comment said, they’re greedy, and the only way to get around this is to show them that they won’t take it. They lowered the wage because they know the employees won’t do anything about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When traffic comes to a standstill, drivers instantly shift left and right to create a Rettungsgasse, an emergency corridor right down the middle, so ambulances⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Enforced is the big thing. I don’t know why police departments keep getting more money, thr money is right there on the highway waiting for them to get it. Every time drive I see people crossing the double white, abusing the big lane, speeding, swerving, even road raging. We have enough police in my city that there could be a cop in each directly every half mile of all of our interstates and they would make a huge profit. Just enforce the freaking laws we already have. Guaranteed they’ll make that budget shortfall.

  And we haven’t even gotten into the whole “Drib up to ten over because no one cares”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Solar drone with jumbo jet wingspan broke a flight record—then it crashed⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I really hate journalists for how they treat new things like this. “And then it crashed”. What to get a click? Sour public opinion?

  Orvilles first flight only went a few feet. If they had a modern day article now about it they’d say it flopped and the comments would be full of laughing emojis
