If you take 1kg of steel and 1kg of water, which is heavier? That's right, steel is heavier.

What do you think the show worked towards and established prior to the ending? Because in my eyes what the show did up to the ending was in service of the ending.

I'm willing to eat my words but I doubt I need to. In a world where Clair Obscur costs $50 I don't how see how BL could be $30 better than one of the best games released this year.

She's not just the main character towards the end, she is the main character of the story. We play Geralt, who is a side character in Ciri's story.

Exactly. They can charge $200 if they want to but it doesn't mean people are going to buy at that price. The price point needs to be where people are okay paying for it and I don't see it happening at $80. Okay, I lied a bit, I see it happening for some games but not for BL4.

Maybe you're seriously overestimating the importance of your boycott?

Seems like your boycott has had no impact.

I'd understand that if it happened in one maybe two countries, but this happened across multiple countries where most people don't condone the actions of Isreal. I'm not going just believe that some kind of a perfect storm gave Isreal the most televotes.

People who oppose Israel's participation didn't watch and didn't vote.

Why would people not watch? Do you think Israel has such a huge influence on people that they'd outright ignore watching the show? I would argue that's not a factor because there were people in the arena who booed Israel. They paid money to see it live. I didn't like Israel participating, I still watched it because Eurovision is not about Israel.

Even if they did vote, their votes were spread across dozens of other candidates.

That's a roundabout way of saying you think Israel's song was popular among people. I'm supposed to believe Netherlands, who just had a massive protest about Israel, gave maximum points to Israel? Norway, who is known to be pretty anti-Israel, gave almost max points to Israel? Same with France, UK etc. Countries that have polls showing the majority being against what Israel is doing turn around and give max (or close to max) points to Israel? How? Why?

We're supposed to take racism and far-right conspiracies as legitimate backlash? Normal people don't care about shit like that. I'm with the other person, the reception was lukewarm because it played it safe.

Once maybe twice, sure. Enough times for someone to make a post about it? I also wouldn't say it's a red flag but it's definitely weird.

Just take some basic safety steps, like discharging the capacitor and you'll be fine

You already lost the average gamer at "discharging the capacitor".

It is a consistent animation and easy to trigger, just ignore the hydra and continue forward. But I imagine most people don't know about it because most people will kill the hydra first, not to mention it's in a area that is not necessary to beat the game so anyone on a subsequent playthrough might just completely ignore that area.
