    I like it. Roll with the consequences of your actions, be they accidental or not, but I can see how that can be frustrating for some

    Given the country's past, they're now so incredibly averse to anything that could even be vaguely construed as criticism of jewish identity and sovereignty (by the Israeli government) that they will bend over backwards to defend all sorts of nonsense.

    As a Brit, the analogy I've always enjoyed is that living in Canada vs the USA is like owning a nice apartment above a crack den. Although, I can't speak to the validity of said statement.

    Yeah, tanking a district makes that area harder and doesnt feel great; however, if you don't kill any of them, the combat is really hard because you're under levelled. So you have to make moral judgements and choose who is "best" to kill.

    I quite like that her romance story is an inversion of the typical typical Mass Effect, sex is the prize, type story. She'll jump you with little effort. you get closer and she wants to fight you, but the real pay off is when she let's her guard down and allows herself to be tender and be loved. It's quite lovely.

    That's just the campaign. They'll slap an 8/10 on the multiplayer and call it a day. It'll sell gang busters again, then when they do the same thing again next year, no-one will bat an eye.

    Sadly, there are only a few small areas of ancient forest left in my area, but they are so diverse and abundant. They're always a treat to explore. Ochre brittlegill (Russula ochroleuca), stump puffballs (Lycoperdon / Apioperdon pyriforme), amethyst deceiver (Laccaria amethystina), Common puffballs (Lycoperdon perlatum), clouded agaric (Clitocybe nebularis), and what I believe to be red cracking bolete (Boletus / Xerocomellus chrysenteron) which are very abundant here. I did find some more wood mushrooms (Agaricus sylvicola) and green cracked brittlegills (Russula virescens), but I didn't take a picture for some reason.

    Absolutely, it's worth talking about since it's not a new phenomena with Tolkien's work. We should be mindful of these kinds of interpretations and be clear about how we, as a community, respond.

    Agaricus arvensis or campestris. I can never tell horse and field mushrooms apart, but no yellow staining and a pleasant mushroom and mild anise smell. I found several rings. Unfortunately, the maggots beat me to most of them. Also found a fair few meadow puffballs (Lycoperdon pratense) that had unfortunately just started to spore, and some parrot waxcaps (Gliophorus psittacinus) which, whilst edible, are far too small and slimy to bother with. I did also find either a rather beautiful pure bright white amanita. Either a Destroying angel (Amanita virosa) or white dapperling (Leucoagaricus leucothites), im not knowledgeable enough to tell. Whilst fun to find, it's definitely not one I brought home.
