Denmark is a kingdom of three countries: Denmark, Greenland and the Faroe Islands.
While the country of Denmark is sanctioning Russia, The Faroe Islands has now made a new fishing agreement with Russia, allowing Russian fishermen to sail into Faroese waters to catch fish.
I am of Faroese descent myself, and I love the Faroese people, but this decision is yet another proof, Faroese politics are controlled by selfish business moguls.
Shame on the Faroese parliament!

The EU has passed the AI Act โ another set of rules that let them fine US big tech companies since there arenโt any European ones.
The law will require foundation models, including GPT & Gemini, to comply with transparency obligations before they are released to the public. These include respecting EU copyright law and providing a summary of training data. There also rules around preventing systemic risks.
Failure to comply results fines of โฌ35M or 7% of global revenue

Somehow stayed up to 4am watching the Game Awards and I've just been left with an overhanging feeling of frustration and anger at the state of the industry and the sheer disconnect between image and reality
It's an awards show almost without awards, centering adverts and celebrities over winners and creators, unable to address the major issues impacting creators like their concerns over genocide in Palestine or the masses of layoffs that went into making many of the games it chose to center
Far from creators being important, you highlight one game that proudly chose to use AI voices and another that mere weeks ago had a long investigation against published in IGN for how it treated women and all their employees (Black Myth: Wukong)
Creators are the bottom rung of dirt in such a so-called 'celebration' of gaming, presented by brands so you consume, consume, consume ign.com/articles/how-black-mytโฆ
How Black Myth: Wukong Developerโs History of Sexism Is Complicating its Journey to the West - IGN
For an indie studio that has only released mobile titles within China, this widespread acclaim over Black Myth: Wukong is a largely unprecedented feat, particularly for a game that has not been released yet.Rebekah Valentine (IGN)
You have a developer trying to thank someone they lost being ushered off by swelling music and a WRAP IT UP sign on a teleprompter because they need to make way for more ads
It makes you wonder why you make games, write about them, when clearly you don't matter
And it makes the industry seem immature that it can't handle serious issues and has been so unable to cultivate creators as public people that despite economic superiority over other mediums you need to let celebrities talk more about broken feet than award winners because you have no one who can be a similar face and name representative
And no, Kojima isn't that, but 10 minutes to him for a teaser while winners say nothing stings
It's just frustrating, honestly angry, and overshadows even the few games shown that look interesting to play (even if it shouldn't be a focus)

this seems like it's supposed to be what NMS was supposed to be.
I hope they can have a good release and if they have to tone down some features for the release, that they end up supporting the game for many years to come, like they did with NMS.

Denmark kills 17,000,000 pigs every year after they have lived in the concrete prisons we have built.
Living in Denmark, I feel in no position to criticize the Faroese in this regard.
