Honestly given how rough the remaster was in the early 2010s I'm glad it's being brought back properly in a way that means modern generations can enjoy it. Halo 2 Aniversary cutscenes are still my gold standard but gameplay could do with something. But I need a 3 remaster. I can't keep seeing him.

He is forever tied in my mind to this comic. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

One of today's lucky 10,000 xkcd.com/1053/

[Caption above the panel:]
I try not to make fun of people for admitting they don't know things.
[Caption right below said caption:]
Because for each thing "everyone knows" by the time they're adults, every day there are, on average, 10,000 people in the US hearing about it for the first time.

[A list of equations.]
Fraction who have heard of it at birth = 0%
Fraction who have heard of it by 30 ≈ 100%
US birth rate ≈ 4,000,000/year
Number hearing about it for the first time ≈ 10,000/day

[Caption above the next panel:]
If I make fun of people, I train them not to tell me when they have those moments.
And I miss out on the fun.

[Megan is standing. Cueball is walking, with his palm out.]
Megan: "Diet Coke and Mentos thing"? What's that?
Cueball: Oh man! Come on, we're going to the grocery store.
Megan: Why?
Cueball: You're one of today's lucky 10,000.

Kino not matching the vibe for watching Wicked

First time since coming to 🇩🇪 I get to do the family tradition of a Christmas morning fly sesh. Damp and choppy air, but two flights and two landings. One of them decent! It's not Croxley Moor, but the local club will do. 🎞: My wife

Since coming to Germany I've accidentally started a tradition of listing to the Greenbone Saga whilst building the in-law's christmas display. 1st year Jade Legacy was newly out, now. . .🤷‍♂️ 3 years running with Fonda Lee words and Andrew Kishino's voice. I guess it's a Thing now? #GreenboneSaga

Need to head off but the crowd keeps growing, including a number on bicycles whose bells join the cheers and claps for the speakers. As I head off towards the Bahn I pass even more people in flags hurrying towards the rally. The sound of the #StandWithGeorgia rally follows me, and draws in others

Another sign held behind the speakers:. "You know it's all because of Russia. Georgia in Europe" It's a range of languages spoken, but mentions of Russia appear to be repeating as well as rejection of the regime and demands for freedom and democracy.

Growing rally next to the Brandeburg Gate declaring #StandWithGeorgia in solidarity with the pro-European protests across the country, denouncing the brutal crackdown.

A large crowd in front of the Brandenburg gate, several Georgian flags and one EU flag can be seen

First full day in Berlin so after doing a scout run of new commute I noticed the S-Bahn went to the Tor, so I decided I should do a tourist. And of course, love me a Parliament. It'll take time to get used to the city I feel, this isn't Lower Saxony. And save me from the smokers. So, so many.

Plus as we are seeing atm in the Baltic, most comms and data travel by undersea cable still. Airpower can't as easily protect that stuff. Data (pic 1) and goods (pic 2) still mostly flow by sea, at *unimaginable* levels compared to air. Just need to ensure you have good AA or CAP to protect.
