Much better, thank you!

I am very partial towards Kristina Från Duvemåla, written by the ABBA guys and based on a very important swedish series of novels about emigration to America. I am not religious - and definitely not Christian - but Helen Sjöholm performing "Du Måste Finnas (You Must Be Real)" might be my favourite performance of music ever and one of the most emotional performance I've ever seen. Link to the video with English subtitles.

I also always liked Jesus Christ Superstar. It was my mother's favourite musical so I kind of grew up on it, which maybe makes me less objective in evaluating it. But I just think it has a lot of great songs. Plus the 2000 film version is so wild and wacky in a charming way with leather jacket Judas and Simon wearing cargo pants.

Anthem is a phenomenal song.

I just made up a typical clickbait headline, I wasn't talking about any game in particular...

God, the names list on that South America map is barely readable. Maybe my eyesight is going.

Regardless, thank you for sharing, the maps themselves are great!

Been hearing about this game for years now, even played an early test build of it a year or two ago. Glad to see it's shaping up, and glad to hear he has a small little team working on it now and is not just a solo developer. What he was doing on his own was impressive, but it still felt like a massively overambitious project for a solo dev, and when I played the previous test build I was left with the feeling that it was a lot of cool gun-related things in a neat setting in search for an actual game.

I'm glad to see the trailer include both some new stuff like seemingly emphasising the survival elements more with hunting and fishing and also developing the setting further and leaning into the post apocalypse thing. Not the most original concept, but at least it's looking more like there is an idea of what the game wants to actually be now, gameplay wise.

I meant in video games, of course. In films there are a ton of examples. I usually go for Ingrid Bergman's accent in the Murder on the Orient Express movie, although that one - while accurate - is slightly exaggerated for effect, I think.

(...) complete with rubbish accents (as a Swede, we don't sound like that here in the Nordics)

If you want a better viking game with much better Nordic sounding accents, Banner Saga is out there. Though there is only like 10 minutes of voice acting per game - but what is there is good! They used an Icelandic VA studio to make sure it's authentic.

The best swedish accent I ever heard was that one blonde knight in Witcher 3 - Blood & Wine. Which is funny as I don't think it makes sense for the setting at all, but accent voice direction in that whole expansion is a complete clusterfuck with zero consistency.

I hate this on gaming communities:

This fast-paced shooter is reinventing the format, taking the Steam charts by storm!

Just tell me the fucking name of the game so I can tell if I've already heard of it or if this is actually new information.

I mean, probably? Don't expect a masterpiece but probably is alright if you don't have too high expectations and would enjoy a vampire power fantasy.

That's unfortunate. Too bad Sony has patented the haptics/adaptive triggers. It's such a good feature, I would kill for an Xbox style form factor controller with triggers like that.

 

 

 

Forced 2-stop due to the mandatory 25-lap stint limit. Lusail has a long pit delta and overtaking is impossible (almost) so entertaining the 3-stop is pointless. The race will be determined by navigating the 2-stop in the best manner.

 
 

A hugely noteworthy occurrence as SvFF has never before fired a sitting manager. Olle Nordin left his position after losing every game of the 1990 World Cup, but he wasn't technically fired. His contract was out after the world cup, and while SvFF had agreed to extend it before the World Cup they merely changed their mind before pen was on paper.

 

Regardless of what prompted the scheduling of the celebration, the optics of this is truly atrocious for the team. Surely they could have delayed for a couple of minutes until Piastri finished his interview? Or did they just forget about him? You know, the current championship leader who is driving for your team?

Oscar casually noticing the team is celebrating the WCC without him as he's doing media pen duties is like a scene straight out of The Office.
