Did I write anywhere that I expect anybody to move to a new country? I'm simply stating that every money spent in or to Russia supports a wartime economy. That applies to the bill for my heating system (at least up to the point where Russia stopped the export of natural gas to Germany) as well...
Well, I would never judge because it is a difficult situation. But thinks aren't that easy unfortunately. In a modern complex society, you cannot pretend to be disconnected from your environment. If Vinch is still living in Russia (no idea if he is, I don't really follow him), he is financing...
MS is investing money to gain customers. They don't throw it to customers they already have. Not sure if DLCs for AOE2 are worth the investment. At some point, they will run out of new civs. The game was continuously growing for several years, but it is questionable if this growth was...
Couldn't agree more. Another factor are the voice actors. In principle, I don't have a strong opinion about AOE4 since I never played or watched it. However, when I wasted my time on twitch some time ago and randomly stumbled into an AOE4 game with the Holy Roman Empire involved, I instantly...
Exactly. RedBull was finishing up because they were concerned about AoE4. That makes totally sense. They are interested in promoting questionable drinks, not questionable video games. If AoE4 had been a success, Red Bull would have announced a Red Bull Wololololo - Series already (the 4 "lo's"...
Of course I don't have insider information, so it is mainly speculation. But the timing at which MS suddenly started to sponsor was peculiar. The playerbase and viewership of AoE2 has been constantly increasing, but never at a level at which a company like Microsoft would really care. IIrc...
I guess all the Microsoft-sponsored AoE2-Tournaments were meant to promote AoE4. There was no genuine interest in E-Sports. MS simply planned to increase the popularity of the franchise before releasing their next game. Now they are victims of their own success as people still prefer the >20...
Unfortunately, it's not that easy. I guess it is a combination of (1) still a high number of unvaccinated people (2) a decreasing efficiency of the vaccines with time in lack of a booster vaccination and (3) probably a high number of vaccinated people with asymptomatic infections who spread the...
This is of course totally wrong (Nature). Literally every vaccine works similarly well with the delta-variant compared to the original virus. The South African variant (I think the politically correct name is "beta", not 100% sure) is a different story. But surprisingly, this variant never...
To my knowledge, literally every sport event starts in the morning. Even the Olympics. I did enough of this stuff myself (well...not the Olympics unfortunately). This is btw. completely in line with the scientific findings: By starting an event in the morning, you make sure that the deciding...
If you take a closer look at the graphic, you understand why herbal medicine is useless. The leaves are apparently maple leaves: no medical use at all. The berries look like mountain-ash. Here the medical usefulness is at least very limited. It might be a source of Vitamin C, but this does...
To avoid the series being dragged out for too long, you could add a mirror civ match as tie-break: game 1: random game 2: civs from game 1 reversed, game 3: random mirror. In later stages, the tie-break could be in game 5 or 7. However, many rounds would be simply several civ wins + one mirror...
