One minor improvement:

1st place with 8.5% of the votes is not informative in the least.

As sick as I am of the Patriots in the SuperBowl. They aren’t as viscerally offensive as the Steelers. Despite the politics of Bellicheck and Brady.

Actually this isn’t that dumb. Both Ana and Mercy’s primary weapon works this way. Target an ally, click the left mouse button. They get healed.

I totally agree that it’s a dick move for them. I just wanted to understand precisely what they were doing. It’s quite the pain in the ass to manually set that. I know quite well all about the annoyance of student loan brokers.

Do they let you specify payment dates for individual (non-automatic) payments? It’s a pain in the ass, but you could just do it when you run all of the rest of your bills.

Camps in Germany, refugees in Germany and the US. I’ve worked with refugees in the US, and with people who worked with them in Germany.

Then you probably have enough German skills to survive already.

German law is... different, and some professions require the whole chain of connected degrees. I have no idea how it would work in law here. So be careful checking that a specialized degree like that would work out and/or transfer.

Yeah..., Germany’s not a “great producer of cars.” They just market German cars as a luxury good in the US because we have a stupid stereotype about German engineering.

Or they just like them.

The German cars they sell in the US are overpriced. I won’t lie. I was surprised to find low end BMWs over here, and I had never heard of half of the German and Italian brands I see around now.

I always bought Honda and Toyota back in the US. It’s hard to explain to Germans here that the best cars to buy in the US are…

I’ve seen the camps here. Met some of the refugees. You act like it’s easy. It’s fucking hell.

I got a degree here, now I’m staying for a few years on a Blue Card. I’m not sure if I’ll stay after that or return. It depends on where I can get better work. There are three basic ways:

American living in Germany here: Some Germans buy American cars, because they are in movies and have a cachet. Most don’t because frankly non-American cars are designed for the smaller streets, highways and driveways of Europe.

A good listen for those interested in the topic. Well related with interested characterizations of real events.

Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt were my first games that I played. Dad wouldn’t let me touch his gold-cartridge Zelda. I would wreck the save file.

Yes but what about the European expansion? What about the London Chargers? or Raiders? Or Sillynannies?

Big drop off there between 2 and 3.

Still it doesn’t really say anything, except that these are different types of games. Dota 2 is designed to be continually updated. A game like Xcom2 , get’s a lot of players in at first, but after you’ve beaten it once or twice, you’re done with it.

That’s probably why they won’t make it a perma-ban, but blizzard has always cracked down on people who exploit bugs. To them it’s still cheating.

This will probably get buried, and I think I’m stuck gray on Kotaku still, but I still want to post it:

My father also died a little over a year ago. He also spent an ungodly amount of time on Civilization games, although he started with Civ 1. One of my bonds with him was from gaming, both video and table-top, and…
