Yep, that's how we spell it.

It's most commonly used to refer to the USA.

Video game generalist

Yeah, and frankly Macron's government style is likely to contribute to that problem. A far-right France has never been more likely.

Kind of well-known these days, but also obscure as we literally don't know who made it or even what it's called: "The most mysterious song on the internet"

Unfortunately par for the course in game development.

There was a lot of panic about "killer games" in the 90s-00s. Politicians and parents blamed video games for school shootings. Nowadays nobody cares about the topic at all, but the strict rules remain. Steam just kind of ignored the local laws so far, but now decided to actually adhere to them.

That depends... many games blocked in Germany on Steam also can't be activated in Germany.

I'd much rather have them be overzealous and mistakenly block an addon for a few hours, than have them be too lax and approve addons actually stealing data.

It was 35 years ago, not hard to believe that he just slightly misremembers it. People could still have been warning him not to go in August.

Hearing from my parents about the shitty, uncertain times they've already been through. Like the threat of nuclear annihilation during the Cold war, the division of Germany, various economic crises... everything was eventually followed by better times. Will everything work out in the long run? Who knows. But I don't think we're on some kind of linear path where everything will just get worse, forever.
