I’ve had a couple hilarious glitches in my playthrough. In every city there is at least one guard without clothes. Just patrolling the walls of Akila in briefs. Then there was a headless npc. And yesterday, for some reason, Sarah Morgan closed her eyes and kept them shut. Both through dialogue and combat. As if she’d been born blind.
Funny as they may be, I would be goddamn embarrassed as a dev. This kind of shit was ‘normal’ in Oblivion in 2006. It’s 2023, time to abort the Gamebryo engine. That kid was stillborn from the get-go.
The border-free zone is called the Schengen area. There are still some EU member states that aren’t included. Euronews article
“Austria has blocked the accession of Romania and Bulgaria into Schengen, the passport-free area that has abolished border checks between the vast majority of EU member states.”
What previous societal structure… Have we ever had a time where the workers actually owned anything? The reality in the past has always been a handful of elites pulling all the strings, just like today.
Before we had kings and queens, people were tribal but certainly not as aggressive as today. Think about it, all hierarchies seek to impose dominance and control, both on its subjects and on outsiders that it comes in contact with
Are you really claiming that humans weren’t as aggressive before we had kings? Did having titled rulers suddenly change our animal biology? Even monkeys have hierarchy and can be brutally aggressive for power and control. Ffs I’ve seen crows fight it out to be the alpha.
How aggressive and how efficient though? Guns are the product of a large scale society that needs to arm itself to protect itself just like a dog has teeth.
Thanks for clarifying. The original comment was ambiguous. But it’s true, any revolution we achieve will still be influenced by the old systems for good and ill.
It’s why I get kind of tired of political theory discussions because so many of them assume starting with a clean slate, which will never happen. Once the slate is cleaned well we aren’t around to build anything else.
No societal structures and systems are continuous or exist within a vacuum. Conflict is always a potential threat, whether human beings can learn to resolve their differences and coexist in harmony is both a personal and a group matter that would ideally be more fair with a third party referee, however, humanity is sadly yet to become capable of asking his best friend (dog) for their opinions
I know that place. The borders between the Ellestraat (Hulst, NL) and the Hellestraat (Stekene, BE).
The right side of the street on the Belgian part is actually Dutch for a few 100 meters. If you look around on street view the part with a bicycle lane is Belgian, the part without it is Dutch.
i’m not sure if what seems to be a poignant interactive demonstration of internet UX enshitification is shallow/incomplete or depends on javascript/trackers that my browser is blocking. it’s ironic either way
But seriously, my favorite are online stores for products, but you can’t buy their product because they have pop-up ads for other products that interfere with their websites you can’t actually view or buy their fucking product.
It’s like, insane. And probably why Amazon still exists.
