  • You can be sure that even the Epic version will still require the Ubisoft launcher. That is how all of my Steam purchased Ubisoft games are with the exception of the first Assassin’s Creed which predated the Ubisoft launcher. All of the others require it regardless of how I bought it.

    I’m going to wait for at least two or more years after release for the new Prince of Persia. My days of paying full price for Ubisoft’s games are over and recent statements from the CEO make me reluctant to ever buy their games again.





  • MS Solitaire, Space Pinball, and Minesweeper come to mind. They were not my favorites, but I know a few people who have a few hundred hours on one or more of those.

    For me it’s C&C Generals Zero Hour. I have had a copy since it released in 2003, it still works, and I still play it in single player mode at least once a week. It’s great because it does not require a huge time commitment and campaign missions take about an hour or less to complete. To me it’s one of the best RTS style games out there. My second favorite? C&C Red Alert 2 and Yuri’s Revenge.

    I have also very much enjoyed the Assassin’s Creed series up to AC Odyssey.



  • They are not really all that new. The research for mRNA vaccines began over 50 years ago.

    mRNA vaccines are among the safest vaccines ever made. There is nothing in an mRNA vaccine that can make you sick. What they are is instructions for your immune system on how to recognize certain viruses when it sees them. You can literally email the mRNA sequence to a different lab and, provided they have the right equipment, they can make the vaccine without ever needing a sample of the virus.

    The mild symptoms some people get is the immune system activating and building the viral antigens specified by the mRNA vaccine, but there is no danger of getting Covid-19 or any other disease from the Covid-19 vaccine.

  • So let me see if I have this right:
    A dishonest seller packaged human urine as an energy drink and offered it for sale on Amazon as some kind of weird experiment. The seller then successfully sold the urine to friends through the site but refused sales to others. So the real crime, selling bodily fluids as food, was committed by the seller, but only to friends who knew what they were really getting.

    The bit about the seller being also employed by Amazon sounds like a red herring to make it seem like Amazon had some kind of prior knowledge about this.

    I love complaining about Amazon and all of their failings as much as the next guy, but I’m having a hard time seeing Amazon as the bad guy in this instance.
