What were the terms?

A senior Palestinian official, familiar with the ceasefire agreement, says Hamas has agreed to end hostile activity forever if the conditions of the truce are met.
The phrase hints that Hamas may be contemplating the end of its armed struggle, although no further details have been provided, and would come at the conclusion of a two-phase ceasefire deal.
Each phase would last 42 days, and the second stage would conclude with a sustainable long period of calm and the complete lifting of the blockade of Gaza.
The first stage will include the remaining Israeli female soldiers currently held hostage, who will be released in exchange for 50 Palestinian prisoners each, including some who are serving life sentences.
During this period, Israeli troops will remain within Gaza - but within 11 days of the ceasefire coming into force, Israel will begin dismantling its military facilities in the centre of the Gaza Strip and will withdraw from Salahuddin Road and Coastal Road.
After 11 days, Palestinians will be allowed to return to the north of the Gaza strip.

It was Fandom

This is kind of a pet peeve of mine tbh.

It's one thing if it's something that feels like a legit mistake but when the publisher clearly just wants to screw everyone over just to be an evil son of a bitch, those reviews should stay as a permanent blemish.

I've been thinking about the mod thing. The mods hate the rule changes (supposedly) but still modded and suspended a shit ton of people already anyway. Quite literally killing the board.

It's like a soldier hating their orders and finding them ridiculous but carrying them out anyway for zero gain.

wtf? How is this a thing? Also gas stations already have low profit margins from gas alone. How can they afford these employees?

Todd Howard doesnt hate New Vegas.

An X/Twitter thread from early 2022 surfaced on the internet on December 14 that shows the conversation between game designer Chris Avellone, who worked on Fo2 and NV, and an X/Twitter user. The thread was shared by X user Nuclea and shows the user asking Avellone why there isnt a NV2

Avellone had replied that this question kept him awake at night for years and that he had no idea why they were rejected. He added that the company asked repeatedly to make FNV2 and even ES spinoffs just like FNV, but Bethesda said Nope. When the user asked if he was legally allowed to answer this question, he said, I dont even have an answer is the point.

Avellone said that despite multiple efforts, it did not get a nod for the spinoffs. He further mentioned that these spinoffs are less relevant now since ES Online is going on, but at the time, these pitches were something that could have been beneficial for both studios. He also said that he did not get much traction with his pitch, which did not surprise him, but he believes that Bethesda was never happy with FNVs reception, good and bad.

The Accounts for the Sovereign Grant, which funds the Queen and her households official expenses, released a report in the summer of 2022, showing that the monarchy cost the taxpayer 102.4m ($114.6m) during the 202122 financial year an increase of 17% from the previous 12 months.

According to Brand Finance, the UK monarchys capital value as a business sits at 67.5bn, while its annual contribution to the UK economy was 1.76bn in 2017 alone. Meanwhile, for the taxpayer, the annual cost per head is roughly 1p a day.

The [monarchys] contribution includes the Crown Estates surplus as well as [its] indirect effect on various industries, said Brand Finance in a press release. The respect for the institution boosts the price and volume premium of brands boasting a Royal Warrant or a Coat of Arms; the appeal of pomp and circumstance set in living royal residences draws millions of tourists; the mystique surrounding the Monarchy adds to the popularity of shows like The Crown and Victoria that offer a glimpse of the private lives of the Royal Family.

The monarchys near 2bn uplift for the UK economy has not decreased since 2017, according to Konrad Jagodzinski of Brand Finance. Royal endorsements for products and the royal coat of arms are extremely important as a seal of quality, from biscuits to luxury items, he says. We found that US consumers are significantly more likely to buy a certain brand if it was seen to be endorsed by royals.

You do not need to pay to play it online on PC. It's also what they're planning on doing with all future games coming to PC to allow achievements and stuff

You mean like how movies work?

I still don't know what labour and tories even are. Brits and their damn weird terms lmao!

Is Labour an asshole like Adams?

Look, if this is all you got then drop it as it's clear I'm not convinced by your argument and you'll not change my mind using the tactic you've chosen.

Lol, I mean, that's literally more difficult than creating some throwaway account that doesn't even have real data in it.

I just find it really hard to get upset about this.

I mean, it's pretty easy to create an account in another region. They shouldn't have to but it's not like that something that's difficult to do.

Itd be cool if Capcom worked out the rights to do a VS collection some time, with X-Men CotA all the way to MvC 2. I can dream

You're the one pretending the plot matters, not me lol.

To be honest, the two games are totally the same. I can't even rightfully say that I think Larian did a better job, it's just clear they were given a much higher budget for that project.

The games are so similar though, I want a Shadowrun that is that high budget, with that much thought put into all the different ways you can approach everything. Whether it's got Harebrained or Larian's name on it.

Stop pretending whims matter,

Exactly.

You people pretend there's any rhyme or reason to the plot when it's all arbitrary and decided at the author's whim lol. The only thing that matters is showing flashy fights because that's what brings the money in. As long as there's fighting, it doesn't matter what the plot is about.

I didn't know if Harebrained owned Shadowrun, or was just put on the project.

They did a great job with the series and I especially liked Dragonfall, it's just been so long since we've gotten anything from them.

The author's whim didn't make her a core part of the story. The only thing she did was encounter Goku at the start, which someone else could have done (and was going to do sooner or later, as we see with Pilaf), and then she's just used as the butt of countless perverted, misogynist gags for the rest of her time in the series. Since she's only relevant for a very small part of the story at best, you can write her out entirely and nothing important would change.

You can't be important to a plot if the plot itself is unimportant lol. It's nothing more than an excuse to show fighting; if you're not fighting, then you're worthless in the series because you aren't what brings the money in.

The main reason I asked was because of Capcom's stance on mods after that Street Fighter 6 tournament with the Chun-Li mod. IIRC, they responded by putting additional DRM in their games that didn't have it before, not just SF6, so it seems to me like they're not as cool with mods as they once were.

@uwnim And so Bulma isn't needed to start Goku's adventure.

Since 2020, TikTok executives have repeatedly tried to reassure people that Chinese staff cannot access the data of non-Chinese users.

But in 2022, ByteDance admitted that several of its Beijing-based employees did access the data of at least two journalists in the US and UK to track their locations and check whether they were meeting TikTok employees suspected of leaking information to the media.

It says facing up to 30 years. That's why it's been said.
