ITS A SEMI-RIGID AIRSHIP

Not OP, but anybody can book a seat on a Zeppelin sightseeing flight in Germany. Most of them are in the ‘Lake Constance’/Bodensee area around Friedrichshafen, where this photo was also taken. Where I live you can see them all the time in the air.

Yes, the game was meant to be experimental even by the developers. I remember how it released in 2020 without any prior announcement or marketing and literally had a 50% discount at launch. They wanted to try out new stuff without any expectations and see how the fanbase reacts. (In addition to attracting fresh players into the XCOM franchise at a lower price point)

It has a fixed character roster in a “XCOM-Alien-Police” spin-off-scenario and levels and gameplay that are focused on breaching and clearing buildings (like police special forces). It is fun and has good, fresh ideas. It is smaller in scale than a mainline XCOM though. I liked it and I think it is worth playing.

It is actually incredible that there are 31 different dates for Father’s Day in use around the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Father’s_Day#Dates

Why should they take a loss on the controller? There is no RAM or other parts affected by the price hikes in it. Also they announced the price only shortly before launch. Why should they have chosen a price that does not cover the costs? This does not make any sense.

Tinfoil hat answer: The fact that he is alive and did not even catch a bullet shows that it was staged. You want to tell me a guy with a shotgun runs towards American police officers and nobody even shoots him? Sounds fake. They must have had orders to not actually shoot him, stage a small gunfight and then just arrest him. The guy probably got a good paycheck for his upcoming prison time.

They did not ban encrypted communications in general. They just banned the use of Signal for official purposes, because it is not fit for the job.

The article talks about how there were a multitude of cyberattacks and phishing attempts on EU officials’ smartphones and Signal accounts. With Signal, you have full control over the whole Account if you control the device.

The EU has their own encrypted communication tools with security and accounts managed centrally by the IT department.
