Consequence of the merger between Paramount and Skydance: In France, a TV channel dedicated to video games is closing its doors after 27 years, even though it is profitable.

(A channel I used to watch a little bit 20 years ago, because it was the only one that talked about video games.)

Muy favoritos Qatar y Arabia Saudí, que acogen cada uno un grupo, en movimiento nada sospechoso🙄 de la FIFA para asegurar la presencia de ambos (ya sabéis, gente respetuosa con los DDHH).

Virtua Fighter 2 remains one of my favourite games to this day. I love Soul Calibur and SC 2, no mistake about it, but Virtua Fighter 2 is what really opened my mind to 3D fighting games.

hmmm I guess the primary reason is when students only begin to *discuss" the idea of occupying their own campus (never mind Lujiazui) or workers begin to discuss organising in WeChat groups, they'd be arrested or reprimanded.

There is a funny story about this but when Girkin took over Sloviansk they wanted to loot the local budget only to find out like 70% was going on pensions, which the Kremlin made a propaganda bit and wanted left alone.

So they started looting industrial buildings for recycled metal

The Commission and EU governments have leverage over Tunisia, another 'partner country' that we pay to keep immigrants away.

This is horrendous.

Tunisia was already in a dark place. A death sentence over words directed at the president makes the country one of the most abhorrent examples of our times.

I just wish Infantino & other scum were honest about this: if they banned Israel, they would not be allowed to enter the US. There.

Just like they awarded the 2034 World Cup to a murderous regime. Be honest about it, at least they would not look like utter idiots.

So much of the coverage of the EU is hyper-micro. It's all about the sausage making. So story out of Copenhagen European Council is "dithering," "all talk, no action," nothing fully agreed, etc. It's an effing meeting! Take a step back... they are moving on Eurobonds/frozen Russian assets. 1/
