Not just a great fight, but also the boss with the best lore.

Extremely powerful giant warrior learns gravity magic so he can keep riding his best skinny horse friend. Aww.

Romania offers as much as €11,500 to people buying an electric vehicle.

Imagine if up to €11,500 per person could go to funding public transportation.

I like cars. They're useful, and EVs are probably the future. But directly subsidizing EVs seems somewhat wasteful. Makes as much sense to me as a tax break for buying a new iPhone.
