I did the „convert 3 years of prepaid Xbox Gold into Game Pass Ultimate“ trick. That way I paid 100€ (3x33€ for Gold+ 1€ to convert to GP) flat for three years of Game Pass, which is an incredible deal.

I don’t know what I will do when the prepaid time runs out. I’m enjoying the content, but before I was quite happy with heavily discounted games. I don’t need to play on day one.

My take, as a German, without looking up the historic consensus: In Germany the oppression against Jews gradually increased from 1933 until WWII started in 1939. This gave many the opportunity to emigrate. In Eastern Europe, Germany quickly invaded („Blitzkrieg“) and immediately stated rallying the Jews into ghettos and started murdering them. There was no real chance to emigrate or flee.

Edit: a typo

I‘m still amazed, that Spain‘s highest mountain is the volcano island Tenerife (Pico del Teide). Meters above sea level has another impact if the sea level is right next to it.

Witcher 3:

• NPCs have at least some rude remarks for you, but a good number also have hints and background info hidden in their dialogue.
• You should eat to heal, but on the lowest difficulty setting this is not required anymore. Just meditate and everything is refilled.
• You can explore different landscapes and their flora and fauna, but you can also go to the towns and cities and checkout their sociological patterns. The settings even change after you meddle with higher politics in the main and side quests.

If you prefer something besides swords and monsters maybe (haven’t played it myself) Cyberpunk 2077.

Another one I have started (but far from finished) is Mass Effect. In my first sessions I was overwhelmed by the many dialogue options and factions present in the citadel.
