So I went to Rockstar Store, Walmart, Amazon and I didn’t find the game there yet why? Is there a way to have thru shipping.. can someone refer me to the website link or something?

Multiple outlets have covered this story today.

This article includes footage from his stay in Saudi Arabia.

Curious what people think about this.

Am I the only one who feels a bit uneasy about Chris Redfield nowadays?

Ever since Resident Evil Village through Shadows of Rose and now even after the ending of Requiem.. I’ve had this strange feeling that Chris isn’t the same character he used to be.

I don’t think he’s evil or secretly a villain. But he feels much more mysterious I don’t know maybe distant and harder to trust than the old Chris from the classic games.

Maybe it’s because of how much he’s been through or because he’s now involved in organizations that keep secrets and make morally questionable decisions. Even the way people around him treat characters like Rose gives me the impression that they’re not just protecting them.. they’re also watching them.

I can’t fully explain it but whenever Chris appears nowadays.. I don’t get the same feeling of comfort and certainty that I used to

Does anyone else feel this way or is it just me?

As an Iraqi, I have a question for British people.

I don’t know if this is something you learn in school or if it’s mostly forgotten today but growing up I learned that modern Iraq was heavily shaped during the British period. The monarchy, the early army, the central administration and many state institutions emerged during that era.

Of course I’m aware that Britain acted in its own interests and that many Iraqis opposed British rule. I’m not trying to say it was all positive or defend colonialism.

It’s just that when I compare that period to many other foreign powers and invaders that Iraq experienced throughout its history.. I personally see it as one of the less destructive ones. That’s just my perspective as an Iraqi.

What also fascinates me is how many English words made their way into Iraqi Arabic. Even people who don’t speak English use words like “scrap” “radiator” “geyser” “jerry can” and many others especially in engineering, oil, vehicles and military related fields.

So I’m curious how much do British people today actually know about Britain’s role in Iraq? Is it something you were taught or is it a largely forgotten part of British history?

And be honest.. before reading this post how many of you even knew Britain played such a big role in the creation of modern Iraq? 😄

My biggest concern about Spider-Man Brand New Day is that Marvel might undo the ending of NWH too quickly

I mean Peter lost Aunt May, lost MJ and Ned and chose to let everyone forget him. That sacrifice felt like the moment Tom Holland’s Spider-Man finally became the classic Spider-Man.. alone.. independent and forced to grow up

If MJ and Ned just remember him again.. what was the point?

Honestly I’m ready to move on from the high school era. We’ve had three movies of Peter surrounded by friends, school drama, and that support system.

I want to see Peter living alone working a job struggling with adult life and building a completely new chapter. Let him meet new people like Eddie Brock or Harry Osborn.. Gwen Stacy or instead of returning to the same circle

The ending of NWH felt like a goodbye to Peter’s old life. I hope Brand New Day doesn’t take that away.

Anyone else feel the same?

I feel guilty because I think I outgrew one of my oldest friendships

Im 25 now and one of my closest friends just turned 38 yesterday. I’ve known him since 2015 when I was only 15 years old. Back then he was honestly a huge inspiration to me. Older guy, funny, charismatic, always full of energy. We had tons of inside jokes and memories together

Three years ago he moved abroad for work. We still stayed in touch with calls here and there but life got busy for both of us so there were periods where we barely talked

Recently I’ve been isolated studying for a really difficult exam so we started reconnecting through daily phone calls again. and this is where I started noticing something that’s been bothering me

I feel like I have to “perform” during our calls now.

Like I need to fake being hyper, fake laughing, fake excitement so the conversation doesn’t become awkward. And it’s exhausting because I genuinely care about him and don’t want to hurt him.

The weird thing is whenever I don’t laugh much at one of his jokes he suddenly gets awkward and starts overexplaining it. Sometimes he brings up old inside jokes and honestly I barely even remember them anymore. I’ll ask him to remind me then he explains them in this uncomfortable forced way and I’m internally thinking “wtf why does this feel so weird now?”

After that we usually go back to talking normally about life and stuff. He genuinely cares about me, gives me space while I’m studying, checks up on me, supports me, and so on. I know he loves me like a younger brother.

But every single call feels like he NEEDS the energy level to stay high constantly. Like silence is forbidden. Every pause gets filled immediately with jokes, random stories, forced laughter, nostalgia, whatever. and lately its been making me uncomfortable

I think maybe I’ve changed as a person. Real conversations attract me more now than nonstop joking around. I don’t have the same social energy I had at 19 or 23. Im more calm now, more reflective, more comfortable with silence.

and honestly I think what’s making me sad is realizing that maybe he still expects the younger version of me.. the kid who laughed at everything and looked up to him all the time

I still respect him deeply. I still appreciate everything about our friendship. But sometimes when I see his name calling me I feel mentally tired before even answering because I know I’ll have to “match” his energy

Has anyone experienced this with old friendships where you still love the person but the dynamic just doesn’t fit anymore?

A serious question: what did the US achieve by bringing down Saddams regime?

Because all I see now is chaos, damage, and the collapse of an entire nation. In my opinion the Middle East has never truly been stable since then

Sometimes it feels like Iraq was replaced by Iranian influence and now the US is trying to contain Iran too after helping create that power vacuum in the first place.
