The letter about hating the sea was written just after or at the end of his five year voyage on the Beagle. So, understandable.

There is even a chapter of one of the two expansions where Jessie returns, in a prequel of sorts to Control.

Alan Wake 2 is the direct sequel to both Alan Wake and Control so you should definitely get it if you liked Control. There is also a Control-centric expansion for AW2 just as there was an Alan Wake expansion for Control.

I recently played through both Alan Wakes and Control with all the expansions and it’s an AWEsome experience on par with playing through the Mass Efect trilogy IMO.

May you live in times that are times.

I have been to Japan last year and one of the first things I noticed is that even in Tokio, one of the most densely populated places on the planet, there aren’t that many cars on the streets considering the amount of people. Most people walk and use public transport (which is absolutely amazing, relatively cheap but punctual like a clockwork).

I wouldn’t be surprised if that is a huge factor together with the healthy, fish-and-rice heavy food. I haven’t seen a single overweight Japanese person on my visit.

I think they will soley concentrate on the Helldivers quote and claim it’s all the fault of those woke DEI killer games.

Being able to change from attacker to victim in a heartbeat is a core principle of facsism.

Also, thanks to the practice of broadcast syndication, new series were often given at last 3-4 seasons to run even if the ratings weren’t great at first since it was more profitable to get the series to around 80 to 100 episodes then to cancel it early.

Not it’s still mostly the US. Although my country (Germany) seems hellbent on following soon, so maybe the US is just ahead of the stupidity curve.

Jews, gypsys, homosexuals, disabled people and the opposition. Hitler actually went for the left and unions first.

They’re also pretty loud themselves but somehow don’t alarm all the others when they crash through a window or something. These movies are highly illogical if you think about them for more than five minutes.

A nuclear superpower governed by a toddler. I hope you’re happy, majority of American voters!

Anglocentrism strikes again!

Honestly, me too, clock, me too.

Exactly as young as you think unfortunately. They did have slavery, so probably without consent too.

Not just a professor, but a professor at Oxford and a leading linguist of his time. He edited the Oxford Dictionary.

I think it’s the other way around actually.

The first time nobody expected Trump to win, so they didn’t have a plan what to do if he did.

The second time they had a plan called Project 2025 and they are going through it more or less point by point now.

With added microplastics and AI brainrot we will get to Idiocracy even quicker. Splendid.

Not officially. But he’s best friend with Cruise and his kids went to Scientology schools.
