People would drive cars with no windows, no lights, seatbelts at night and a few time witnessed one driving in an oncoming lane.
The worst roads are fairly safe since they are like minefields that you are slowly snaking your way and pretty safe since nobody can get any speed on those. Not sure how to fix the problem since just throwing money at it won't solve the problem.
Driving exam in Zambia was to drive around the block with a set of traffic lights, and then parking a truck by reversing into a parking spot. No written exams or anything extra, the whole thing took maybe 20 minutes.

Bemels Link ParentHasn't he cheated before as well? I seem to remember him being banned when he was younger. Also wasn't the issue more on how well he was playing compared to his usual that the best excuse was...Hasn't he cheated before as well? I seem to remember him being banned when he was younger.

Not saying that she isn't but i don't think a 11 year old photo is conclusive evidence on whether she is part of the org or not.

I have never really cared for office type jobs so i have always searched for active jobs from army to post carrier, there's always a need for physical labor and while the apy is absolute shit at least i don't have to feel like my work isn't impacting anything.

Russia has been a pain in the butt for quite some time, not really sure what is their goal is but they are constantly doing something from jamming gps signals to trying to get into out water treatment plants and whatnot.

Group i play with has pretty harsh joining conditons since one requirement is having to actually been in the army to be allowed to join.
We have around 40 active members who turn up every weekend and a few old army it nerds who make new missions for us every week, sometimes we play scenarios based on real battles and sometimes the missions are inspired by movies and such.
It's quite a lot of fun, scratches my DnD itch even though i'm not a huge military buff, we also have around 200 gigs of mods that rework everything from sounds to the interaction systems, before i joined the group i had played only a few hours of arma so can't really say how much it differs from the vanilla experience.

Comment on It annoys me that so many PC games feel like they're intended for consoles in ~games
Bemels Link ParentObjectively maybe for competitive fps games but for the rest, not so much. Analog for the movement and mouse for the aiming would be amazing if more games supported that.Objectively maybe for competitive fps games but for the rest, not so much.

Maneater is one of my favorite games in general because it isn't really structured like your normal open world game, you just have a bunch of objectives around the map with little to no explanation other than "eat the rich" and documentary announcer randomly commenting on your actions while you evolve your shark.

I'm so happy to get to play it again after all these years. I hope they keep all the little interactions that were missing from the portable version, like the scenes where the gang hangs around a playground and stuff like that. I wish they would include the fem mc route as well so that we would get the definitive version of the game.

The tattoos are as much part of me as are my scars and blemishes and i haven't regretted the money, pain, or the time that has gone into them. Though i do feel dumb forgetting how much it hurt to tattoo my stomach when i started my second tattoo there about my mice.
Darktide is a lot better than it used to be but it always had a stellar atmosphere and music.
I feel like a lot of fans were dissapointed about how pre release they addvertised that Dan Abdnett is writing the story for the game, but outside of a few bits of lore the story is so minimal that an unpaid intern could have done equally good job at it.
