Not sure what happened to the title of my thread (forum transfer stuff:software update and/or forum migration couldn't handle the Greek letters), but the title was Altered Maps ΙΓ: To make a map larger than what it maps

 

[Gori the Grey]

Maybe use numbers, like everyone else seems somehow able to do?

I use numbers. Just more refined ones. It's not like the roman ones are non-eclectically usable as numbers today either

The transfer of the previous thread listing resulted in it being garbled. It has been edited back to its original title.

Roman numerals are commonly used in English.

Iota-Gamma is 13, not 17. I don't know who changed the thread title, but that's why.

But it is the thirteenth thread?!
It's highly likely the forum change couldn't handle the Greek letters and it automatically changed. I changed it back now (didn't know this was a member option also for archived threads).

Just teasin' ya, Kyr.

 

[really]

Hours of sunshine during the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere.

It's hard to get good sleep at the moment as it is twilight all night and doesn't get really dark.

Map Shows All Countries Where Helldivers 2 is Delisted

Spoiler More details :

Helldivers 2 is the most successful Arrowhead Game Studios-developed title to date. Over 458,000 concurrent players were enjoying Helldivers 2 on Steam alone during the game's launch month in February, leading to week-long server and login issues for many players on PC. Arrowhead Game Studios worked diligently to remedy the server issues while introducing new content such as weapons and Premium Warbonds. The growing support from the community helped spread word of mouth about the game, leading Helldivers 2 to surpass 12 million copies sold and outpace sales of God of War Ragnarok to become PlayStation's fastest-selling game ever. However, the game's sales momentum was stifled in recent weeks by Sony's decision to enforce the use of a PlayStation Network account in order to play Helldivers 2 on Steam. Although Sony rescinded the PSN account requirement, the game remains delisted in several regions around the world.

Reddit user amosimo posted a map of the countries where Helldivers 2 is delisted, including most countries in Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia. Many Helldivers 2 players were surprised by the number of countries that were affected, but others believe that Sony's decision to delist the game only affects a small percentage of gamers from around the world. For example, some players in the Reddit thread argue that most gamers in Africa are located in South Africa, a country where companies like Xbox and PlayStation operate and sell their games.

Oh! I thought you were talking about the last thread. My mistake!

Do many playstations find their way legally to Kosovo? ^^

 

[bene_legionary]

No, it is one of the few tensions between Albanians and Kosovars (and otherwise one of many between Kosovars and the Serbs) that the port of Durrës is a major entrepôt for illegal playstations, ready to be laundered in Pristina and then shipped back to both their compatriots in Tirana (where they are kept across the country in those bunkers Hoxha made for this specific purpose) and to the neighbouring Balkan countries. Word has it that the latest round of talks between Serbia and Kosovo has collapsed because of smggled playstations, while the Montenegrin government has just busted an Xbox racket in Kotor.

Meanwhile, in between national elections and caretaker governments, Bulgaria recently dropped their ban on consoles to create another reason as to why they reckon North Macedonia is acting a bit too uppity.

illegal playstations

Do you know what makes them illegal?

 

[bene_legionary]

No, but whatever it is, I wager the Turks and the Russians were involved, somehow.

 

[Kyriakos]

Morelike treaty of Tridenton.
