Uh, what do you want them to do for the shooting mechanics in an arcadey 3rd person shooter?

I alternate between "play the guy because more relatable" and "play the girl because ass"

Then again, my friend also used the "I don't wanna watch a guy all day" reasoning when I asked him and well, now we all know she wanted to be a girl all along.

I'll have you know, I've started several projects in Rust!

Only to realize I don't have time to do unpaid work even if it IS fun.

Lots of things, yeah. Many countries have set up energy efficiency loans too - for home renovations, or for business purposes. The idea is that you give out low interest loans so people (or companies) can achieve what they need earlier. I don't know if anything like that is in place in Germany, France or Sweden (or Italy, I suppose they still have a bit of their car industry left), but if I was in a relevant position in one of those companies and there was a need to, say, build a battery manufacturing plant locally so that EVs could be built for cheaper and less dependence on existing battery manufacturers, I'd definitely go ask the relevant nation's government, parliament and/or business development department, for a loan, tax break, or subsidies. Worst that could happen is they say no.

But yeah, an already successful car manufacturer getting straight on subsidies for selling cars they're already making and selling anyway - extremely unlikely in most countries I'd think. Now if one or two of the German big 3 were on the verge of bankruptcy because of Chinese competition, that might change. Still sounds unlikely though. China's GDP is 4x that of Germany's, they can afford to keep subsidizing their shit for longer.

Sounds like it's time for more protests then. I'm hoping. This doesn't directly affect me since I'm not in the US but man it must feel like a gut punch for the black community in general and her family in particular. Hope Americans get their house back in order.

You can get by with English in a lot of non English speaking countries. Moreso with money because you can afford to pay people to translate things for you.

From what little interaction I had with FlyingSquid, it seemed like his family was very working class and the move to the UK took a lot of sacrifice.

Ellen on the other hand has a net worth in the hundreds of millions and thus was never in any real danger in the US because of her sexuality.

Extremely. You could get your car vandalized for being too yellow.

Wonder how many cops dream of being Lucifer in, well, Lucifer.

Intimidate witnesses, act PURELY on hunches, other people take the flak

Weren't they trying to protect all the aliens who weren't trying to destroy the planet? Including helping them hide from humans so humans wouldn't panic?

Technically only Chase is the police dog. Skye flies around helping people, Marshall is a fire dog, Rubble builds shit, Zuma exists, Rocky repairs and recycles shit

Ooh, the Pro Click V2 sounds exciting. I've never owned a Razer product before, but it does seem to have better range and can be used in wired mode apparently?

Keychron sounds like a backup option, but no wired mode (same as Logitech). Would prefer to have Wired mode as a backup for when all my wireless stuff just doesn't want to work some days.

I'll see about getting one or the other probably. Pro Click V2 seems very new, no RTings review yet for the regular version and not available in my country yet, but it's on Deutsche Amazon so that would still work probably.
