Extremely unlikely. AW2 was funded by Epic, not just paid off to be a timed exclusive like Control (which was published by 505).

That means Epic decides where it gets distributed.

It's published by Epic (Control was published by 505). Unless Epic significantly compromises on their insistence of pushing the Epic store, it wont happen.

Ever.

They wont.

Remedy games have been "underperforming" despite rave reviews for a while. Yet they've been chugging along doing what they think is neat, instead of caving into the current money-making models.

And in this case, the Epic partnership definitely hurt the game. And they know it did. Before AW2, it was microsoft putting the breaks of Quantum Break despite it being great.

Control was the first time since Max Payne I felt they truly achieved the success that their level of quality deserves (and even then it was a timed epic exclusive).

Now Remedy has set themselves up to finally self-publish the follow-up to Control. I can't wait.

Remedy has fans, but something always seems to get in the way.

As they say, "Desu Vult"

Good.

Shitty cyclists suck. I ride my own bike every day, and I can't get over how often I see someone riding among pedestrians, (often along a road clear of cars, or worse yet, along an actual bike lane right there).

I must have shouted "the bike lane is literally right here" as I go past people like this over a hundred times in my life.

It's obvius to me that hitting someone with my bike would be horrible, yet I see people riding them all the time like it's the same as lightly jogging.

Have you noticed that the deer in the Mind Place will tell you how many you haven't found?

Have you been petting the deer?

Stoicism, competence, composure, equanimity or level-headedness, can be.

Tranquility, not being a quality of the human mind, but rather a feeling or state of being, cannot be. The dictionary definition of tranquil (free from disturbance) is mutually exclusive with a mind that is actively dealing with concerns of any kind. Because then you are not free of disturbance, are you?

You can remain calm and in control, but if there is force of any kind that you must interact with in any way, you cannot be tranquil.

Can you get there by ignoring any current troubles for a moment, simply not thinking about them for a minute? Yes, but that's still temporary.

What you are claiming, is like saying silence is the ability to ignore noise.

Or that silence can be "maintained" at a concert. That by refusing to let the music make you dance, you might prevent it being played.

Can you still plug your ears? Sure. But you can't listen, while doing that.

We are using different definitions of the word.

You explain what your definition is, which affects mine (being the dictionary defintion) in no way whatsoever. We have nothing to discuss.

What you describe I would call stoicism, competence, composure or equanimity.

Most simply, level-headedness.

But not tranquility. Tranquility, by definition, being a state free of turmoil, cannot be maintained, if dealing with turmoil.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Look up the difference between "most" and "all".

Further, consider that not all people are pacifists.

Finally, note how I go on to describe how one can feel things one otherwise wouldn't, depending on what one is focused on.

You have to willfully bend my words to misinterpret what I said to mean that tranquility is an impossible state for a person to be in.

The hotel building on Grenich got a huge upgrade! Lots of green detailing added to the lane in general. Feels like they're beginning to add theming to each lane to match their colors.
