Random fun fact: We don't eat turkey for Xmas. And turkey isn't even special in Poland. It is viewed below pork or beef, and certainly there isn't many trying to cook whole turkeys (chicken is a different kind of beast though). Traditionally it is a meat-free feast on the Christmas Eve, we usually eat traditional red beet borscht (in some homes like mine it's different - sour soup + mushroom based broth) with mushroom stuffed ravioli, and a fish as a second course. If someone's really traditional then there's twelve courses (ya, rly). Then it's one to two days of feasting on kinda "Swedish table" of cold cuts, salads etc. (because usually the persons cooking the 12 dishes eve want to rest on Xmas too, you know). Lunch on the first day of Xmas is rather uncommon, at least where I come from. On second day things usually go back to normal, although the breakfast and dinner are probably still the cold-cuts and salads prepared for Xmas.

As for the game, I think they try hard to get it out before Christmas because it's Christmas gifts season ;-)

My wife makes cracking traditional Polish pierogi dumplings...she got the recipe from some Polish friends. My favourite ones are the saurkraut and mushroom...but I like all the different varieties from savoury to sweet :)

Turkey for Xmas dinner is an American fashion that invaded Britain quite a while ago...since the traditional Xmas meal was always goose. Turkey and the mass factory breeding for consumption made Xmas meals cheaper and why turkey is now more common than goose at the table....we still have goose for Xmas dinner in our house, never did like factory farmed turkey much. We also follow the European tradition of having Xmas dinner on Xmas eve rather than Xmas day...it was a Scottish thing as well until being fashionably English rather than uphold our own traditions and festivals changed it all :)

On the risk of going too much offtopic, my favorites will still be "russkye dumplings", a cheese-potato variety. Here's the foreign-friendly recipe:

Potato Lovers, This Potato-Cheese Dumplings Recipe Is For You!

Versatile and filling, you can make these for a fancy dinner or freeze for pierogi whenever you want! This recipe for potato-cheese pierogi is from chef Marek Widomski of the Culinary Institute in Kraków, Poland.

I like them with melted butter (you just put a butter slice on hot pierogi before serving).

PS: the sour-cabbage and mushroom pierogi are a part of traditional 12 courses I mentioned.

I've tried most of the varieties of pierogi, the ruskye ones are another favourite. My wife makes around a kilo or so at a time with different fillings and freezes them...we have them quite often :D

Both goose and duck are fantastic.
I love turkey too, I get why some don't like it, but it works for larger family Christmas gatherings.

A big slab of Rib Beef for xmas dinner is my go to. That alongside a slow roasted gammon slathered in orange and honey with usual spices.

My brother is pretty irate over the delay. I think he was hoping to play the snot out of it for a few weeks then hawk his RTX 3080 on Ebay for a mark up.

Personally, I usually don't even look at games the first year they are out, especially single player titles, which will generally only get better and cheaper. So delays don't mean a whole lot to me. Maybe I'm just no old enough to think I may kick the bucket before I get a chance to play them...

Ah yes, yet another Assassin's Creed game. Running out of historical time lines to cookie cutter stamp another game into. I am calling it now: If Cyberpunk is going to be the hit it has the potential to be, then the next AC game will be cyberpunk themed.

"Killing all those kids you couldn't kill last year", could be the tagline.

Now I'm hearing things like "they aren't comfortable with the December 10th release" and "they want to include as many next-gen features as they can right away instead of via the update" and "the game progressed too much towards the next gen and now they need extra time to re-optimize it for the OLD consoles (and no, they can't possibly release the PC version first although it is totally finished and polished - that would be unfair",... etc.
Something very weird has been happening over at CDPR HQ. Gone is the stern leadership and focused vision.
It's like that marathon runner who was strong the whole way and totally collapsed 200m before the finish, unable to move any further.
With a bit of a hyperbole -

There are several CP2077 knock-offs and games "inspired" by it in the works, getting ready to ride the hype wave and cyberpunk renaissance.
I wonder if when they come out, CP2077 is going to become a new Star Citizen, slowly falling into obscurity while its "knock-offs" will enjoy the spotlight. :LOL:

My current favourite is Cloudpunk, which has been out for a while but just had a big update adding first-person flight mode, and a bunch of other stuff. They have an ambitious (considering it's just one guy) roadmap for the next 6-12 months. VR seems the obvious next step.

Cloudpunk is great. I don't play pixel art games, normally, but I did enjoy this one quite a bit. The story is quite endearing and it's an altogether chill experience, for some reason. :)
Maybe I should try the FPS mode, yes. I've played it before they introduced that so that could be a reason for replaying it.

If they delay it again, there'll be some serious poo flinging on t'interweb...but in all seriousness, I suspect a further delay until the 21st/22nd of December. Just call it a hunch :whistle:

IMO if they're going to delay again (which I hope they don't but they most probably will), it won't be just another few days.
So my bet is either it goes out on 10th, or in Q2 of 2021.

I wouldn't be surprised if the game be delayed even further, there is such a chaos in Poland going on right now with Coruna and all that I'm surprised they got in to Gold state!

Oh please, at this state it's probably only programming work to do meaning bugs to squash, and we programmers don't really need to socialise that much at work; I mean there's so many jokes about useless meetings out there. We usually thrive in solitude, some of my coworkers preferred to come to work at wee hours in the morning because "it's quiet and you can easily focus". So I wouldn't dump it all on the pandemic. It's something else, probably, and we won't know.

As for missing the christmas season it would probably affect sales but... not that much imho regarding the hype generated.

Goose is tradition here, too. But it's not mandatory. My mum makes great pot stews and I like to opt for these. We have mass and feast on XMas eve. The rest of days is trying to recover from the feast and trying out the new toys.
