Not really on more modern games. Pascal was for example completely broken for Alan Wake 2 because of mesh shaders. Pascal had a good run and was relevant for 8 years, which is pretty much unprecedented for GPUs, but one has to let go.
The historical reason for cousin marriage were generally to cement alliances between relatives and to keep land in the family should the male line of some house die out, those aren’t the reason you marry relatives CK3.
In CK3 you marry relatives because you want your children to be herculean beautiful geniuses and to stop your daughters weak claim from becoming a problem.
I generally don’t really like such list articles as they are mostly sensationalist and cheap, this being the perfect example of one. In the case of CK we are not talking about inbreeding in the Egyptian dynasties (which had religious rather than practical reasons). Hawai’i seems similar though I know to little about their nobility to judge. The section they have about Roman inbreeding was honestly just terrible and completely divorced from reality. I am not aware of any marriage between siblings among European nobility (between like 600-now) (other than Jean V of Armagnac that I just found on Wikipedia and which upon first read sounds like an extreme exception). Could you name another one?
Yes, but these were all through first cousin marriages which were only legal if the Pope gave permission. What most CK3 players do is marry their kids so they don’t lose shit-tons of land because of the stupid partition system they are using.
1983 was a uniquely American event. Japan and Europe were unaffected, and as no Japanese consoles had any success in the US at the time they wouldn’t have aimed for an American release anyway, while Europe only bought computers.
Probably not, they don’t provide copyrighted files and Nintendo reeeeeaaaally doesn’t want to create precedent that decomp is fair use (which it probably is) which could make emulators 100% legal.
I think the other aspect is that we have the statistics now. I would assume that the PS2 had more monthly users than the PS3 for quite a long time maybe even up to the PS4. Same with the Wii and WiiU and going farther back quite possibly the NES than the SNES, SNES than the N64, C64 than the Amiga, etc.
It really has gotten better over the last couple years but for two decades they pretty much banned everything with the slightest hint of being adult. They are I believe also the reason for why Contra is Probotector in Europe
Yeah, it’s always stupid what ends up there and what doesn’t. And because of Germany’s stupid laws the German version often ends up worse than other versions (often even removing the English language option) (And people are surprised that we hate our northern neighbors…)
Here’s a (non-exclusive) list of banned games in Germany (it’s in German but the game titles should make it accessible to people that can only speak English): de.wikipedia.org/…/Kategorie:Indiziertes_Computer…
Oh yeah, Half-Life was indexed in Germany until 2017 (coincidentally when they switched from Elke Monssen-Engberding to someone less grumpy (half of the stupid decisions coming from Germany just stem from some grumpy old person who’s entrenched in a Department))
