I don't recall that happening in DA2. Well, Fenris and Isabela had a sort of friends with benefits arrangement going on. And Aveline's personal quest in Act 2 is to help her get a boyfriend; it was both cringeworthy and hilarious. Anders was too.....Anders to hook up with anyone other than Hawke. And Merill, bless her, was too dim.

It's all for nothing if you can't fuck a bear, that's all I'm saying.
The Swedish games industry is significant enough nowadays that the Riksdag (parliament) has decided to let the department of culture perform a deep dive on the industry. The first step is to do studies to deepen understanding.
This is the first time the Riksdag has done this.

I'm not remotely shocked at this point. Ubisoft has long since passed the point they care about anything beyond the map design(and it's possible that's gone down the toliet since I stopped playing UBI games).
I'm long since done with AC but honestly even if I weren't my expectations for this game would be pretty fucking low.
Na ruim dertig jaar lijkt Game Mania in Nederland game-over: ‘Het ziet er echt niet goed uit’
De oudste nog overgebleven game-winkel dreigt uit het Nederlandse straatbeeld te verdwijnen. Game Mania, al dertig jaar de onbetwiste nummer één op het gebied van fysieke verkoop van videogames, loopt in de rode cijfers en is nu naarstig op zoek naar een overnamekandidaat. Game-deskundigen zien...

It's not unexpected. Competition from Amazon and Bol is fierce, both offering a wide range, sometimes at lower prices, and with more frequent discounts. And game stores are suffering all over as physical is fading to start with. Nintendo will likely be the last holdout, but I can imagine even that will in time become limited to release via Limited Run Games or it's like for anything that's not Nintendo 1st party. Which for the record would suck balls.
I was never a huge fan of Game Mania, but I did like that they let you buy second hand games with ecocheques, which essentially amounted to 5 government subsidized games since I didn't really have much other use for the cheques, because who buys an eco-friendly fridge every year? Anyway, I'll miss that.

Another news item about Sweden, in Swedish.
There is talks about starting a culture canon in Sweden, and the video game creators are obviously keen to get onto it. They took in suggested titles from the public and then an expert jury took out the 15 titles they thought were the most worthwhile. They premiered "a width in target audience, format, era, developed by both men and women and made all over Sweden.". The titles are:

Former Twitch Employee Says Dr Disrespect Knew He Was Sending Sexually Explicit Messages to a Minor - Report - IGN
A former Twitch employee has revealed more details about Dr Disrespect's 2020 ban in a Rolling Stone report, saying the popular streamer knowingly sent sexually explicit messages to a minor.
Holy shit.....
Personally I would've preferred him being a POS with that NFT bullshit. He still would've ben a POS. but not a pedo POS

I am not surprised by this, and found out earlier this week. I did put in the web media news thread though. This is the same guy that would run away after screwing over his own audience with NFTs. Yet fans are still trying to defend him, even though he was caught red handed in both instances. Biatch tried running when getting called out on thinking making Halo a battle royale would be a good idea. Act Man called him and multiplayers on that one. The Doc got so scared he actually stopped watching Act Man's video and tried changing subject.Former Twitch Employee Says Dr Disrespect Knew He Was Sending Sexually Explicit Messages to a Minor - Report - IGN

Fucking sucks. Game Mania was always good for trading in games, and especially with Nintendo games (which never go down in price) the discounts were sweet. Gave a nice incentive to check out games I might otherwise have ignored.Article in Dutch, but the gist of it is that Game Mania, sort of the less malevolent Benelux equivalent of Gamestop and only remaining brick & mortar game stores, is pretty much done for. They're deep in the red and basically have 3 months to find a buyer or they're probably finished. Article is talking particularly about the Dutch branch, but I can't imagine the Belgian one is faring much better. A few months ago my local store closed shop and since then 3 more have bitten the dust.Na ruim dertig jaar lijkt Game Mania in Nederland game-over: ‘Het ziet er echt niet goed uit’
