And cars have outpaced Olympic runners. Does that make the fastest humans ever "second place"?

Both charts are in L of pure alcohol. I feel like they are not the "top counties" but just a random selection. And the selection is different for both charts.

TLDR chart bad

If your mind is a tabula rasa maybe you should erase your tabula cerata to match

There is abig difference between those two games though. With bg3 you got a limited part of a story driven game. You could never reach "endgame". It was a horizontal demo. You get everything until a certain point.

With satisfactory the early access was the fully playable game from beginning to end. It is vertical. And since then they have just added more things. They will very likely keep doing exactly what they are doing now after the release. In one year the game will have more content than it does now and in retrospect, deciding which version in time is 1.0 is arbitrary.

BG3 will not get a 4th chapter in a year.

And games have been tested long before early access and similar models existed. Just because Bethesda can't test their games doesn't mean everybody else is shit too.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion... I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain... Time to die you piece of shit!

Only if they can be turned off (same as the cryo sleep). The whole ship either has to have enough energy to last potentially 100000 years (no theoretical power source exists like that) or enter a state of 0 energy consumption. Solar/radiation collectors dont work if you are to far from a star. Synthetic life still needs energy

Activism can never ever ever ever ever achieve anything if it doest cause discomfort. A demonstration that doesn't block roads or disrupt services is just invisible. And causing damage to a landmark is disruptive and discomforting.

There is also the point that oil companies will just shoot you if you were to vandalise their office.

I feel cheated by a certain micro country. I got the challenge with one wrong country. The country is almost entirely covered by the (thick) line as it is drawn on the map, but the actuall 1 dimensional line doesn't pass through it...

Isn't that kinda somewhat true though? The Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact was a pact to split Poland and also a non aggression pact so Hitler could focus on the western front and Stalin had time to build up an army and economy. The pact was broken by Hitler invading the USSR. They were never allied but they had a pact which Germany broke.

Dont get me wrong, Tajikistan is a capital D dictatorship. With pictures of the president on every public building and daily propaganda prodcasts from megaphones installed at public squares. Its also not the first time the government banned certain traditions (such as a way to celebrate weddings).

They are banning the symptom instead of the cause. Instead of banning preachers of foreign schools of Islam they are banning something that is central to those preachings.

I agree, banning religious expression is generally a bad thing, I am just happy they are fighting to keep radical Islam out of the country. For reference, Tajiks are the second largest ethnic group in Afghanistan (~25% of the population) so there is bound to be cultural exchange between the countries. a And Tajikistan is very afraid of the Taliban getting any support in Tajikistan. And the first step of that support is through religious radicalization.
