  • Yeah, that’s a bit disingenuous take on the situation at the time.

    While Sony could have toned down the marketing and better worked with Hello games, Sean Murray went on a absolute PR streak lying over and over in so many interviews about features that weren’t in the game at the time and realistically wouldn’t be added until many years after.

    Then they released a half baked game which was missing basically every feature the gaming community was actually excited about.

    They remdemed themselves and NMS in its current form is a fantastic game deserving of praise, but Hello Games deserved all the hate at the time. Entirely their fault.




  • I don’t agree with the digital ID since it has implications to snowball further down road into a tool for a implemented authoritarian surveillance state.

    But the fact everyone basically carries a smartphone with personal data that is linked to private corporations is kinda ironic.

    Like the government can’t have a digital footprint of you but Google, Apple, Samsung etc can.

    I’m sure these private companies are the bastions of privacy. They surely won’t sell your data or bend over to government subpoenas at the first real threat to their bottom line.

    No discussion regarding this digital ID has rwally mentioned this and I find it incredibly concerning.

    There should be base line regulation stopping this both at the private and governmental levels. But if the last 5ish years have shown in the world, most people are realistically comfrontable and complacent in all this. At least until the gestapo are at your door., but then it’s a week bit too late isn’t it.



  • Honestly for 70 Lei it wasn’t a bad experience but the whole feel of the castle is almost entirely to play into the cliche vampire/medieval fantasy trope and for tourist to say they have visited a castle.

    My recommendation is to visit, but keep expectations at a min. I’ve been twice now and both times felt lack luster and meh.

    If you want a real cool castle like experience and are in Brasov, take the train down to Sinaia and visit Peeles castle. You will not regret it at all. From the grounds, the exterior and the interior, it really is something out of fairy tale or something.

    Corvin’s castle near Deva is another great castle to apparently vist over Bran but I never got the ability to visit so I can’t speak to that as much.





  • Just another example of a disconnected politician that use the plight of the people for their thin veiled arguments in their circle jerk of “we care about the people but not enough to actually be productive in finding an appropriate solution”.

    Wild that Poilevre has never come across one of these houses considering they line the Lakeshore corridor and are an important part of our pre/post war history.

    “Grew up a house similar” to this one but describes it as a shack. So which is it? Is it a shack or the home that’s in the real-estate listing (which clearly isnt a shack) cause those are very different descriptions.

    And this isn’t just Poilevre, all three parties do the same shit. These people don’t care about the average Canadian just what makes them look good in the moment.
