This game is so good! I was too young to really understand AoE II when it was out, but I played a lot of AoE III and I am ecstatic to be here for this fourth installment. I looked forward to it ever since it was announced and it is just amazing. I am aware that I'm fangirling a bit much, but I really do feel that it is that good.
It is taking up a lot of the time I would previously spend on New World, which I really thought was great initially. But the longer I played and the higher level I reached, the more its faults became obvious. Anyway, if you have ever liked RTS type games, I would say that AoE IV is the game of the year.

Cyberpunk 2077
Hi everyone, just a quick question! It's been more than a year since it was released so I was wondering if those who own it and have played it can advise whether or not it's become better to play?...
Hi everyone, just a quick question!
It's been more than a year since it was released so I was wondering if those who own it and have played it can advise whether or not it's become better to play?
I reckon everyone here remembers all the drama and bugs in it, but I also recall seeing people saying that it was a fine game back when it released. So... Is it worth the while to give it a shot now? I was thinking that I would perhaps buy it as a christmas present for myself.
Edit: Not gonna lie, I actually forgot that I posted this! Thanks so much to everyone for your responses!

Season 1 was almost perfect but I thought season 2 really lacked in a lot of ways, which is understandable from what I've heard about them wanting to try to wrap things up as they knew it would not get more seasons. I'm very happy to have finally watched it though, it had been on my list for many years.

I'm really not sure if I posted this in the right place, but I have been watching the Youtube channel "The B1M" and the guy's other channel "Tomorrow's Build" and I really like his type of content. I've also been watching tv shows about homes and the types of people who live in what homes in which parts of the country (Denmark). I also watched a couple of episodes of "The World's Most Extraordinary Homes" on Netflix...
So yeah, I obviously really have an itching for more content along the lines of buildings and especially homes. So, does anyone have suggestion on what to watch next?

But the US is hosting most of the matches of the World Cup in 2026, so hopefully that will garner more interest in soccer. I do feel like it's beginning to catch on there, especially because of how well the women's national team is doing.

But just like the release of Battle for Azeroth and Shadowlands, I seem to have nearly fully lost the will to play WoW anymore - it just isn't as fun as it used to be, when I was in my teens (27 now). I guess you kind of change as time passes, but it still makes me sad that I no longer care for it, because I have literally spent tens of thousands of hours on WoW.
Anyways, I resubscribed and it was fun for a couple of days. But I quickly realised that it's the same old grind as it always was - it was fun to visit the old places though.

My girlfriend and I have had a habit of going straight to watching movies and tv-series when we hang out, because due to lockdown almost everything is closed, so we don't really have a lot of activities to choose from.
We also play games occassionally, recently scrabble on our phones. But what other boardgames work well when there are only 2 players?
Edit: Wow! I can't possibly respond to everyone but I didn't expect so many people to comment with help. Thank you so much!

Edit: Oh my god this comment from the post on Voat is actually real, good grief: "I don't have cable/satellite, kikeflix, go to movies or restaurants (even if they were open), and so on. I can only buy so many bullets and bunker supplies. Show me a way to support this website without doxxing myself and the money will flow."

But to answer your post properly, I am from Denmark and while we are not as puritan as the US we are heavily influenced by American culture, so despite the age of consent being 15 (or 16, I don't know?), people do find it creepy when under-18s are sexualized.

It started out as an apolitical thing in Denmark too, with all parties working together - but 1 or 2 weeks after the lockdown started, the far-right parties started talking about wanting to prevent refugees from Syria and elsewhere seeking asylum...
That looks amazing!
I have a weird aversion about animated movies (don't ask me why), but my girlfriend convinced me to watch the first one and it completely blew me away. Very excited to watch this!
