PC users will have to wait longer for the release of No Man’s Sky.
In recent days and weeks, we have reported that No Man’s Sky will be released in Europe on August 10 for PS4 and PC. The official release in North America is already on August 9. However, considering the time difference, it doesn’t make much of a difference.
However, it seems that No Man’s Sky for PC will be delayed by a few days. The current official website states:
PS4 in North America on August 9
PS4 in Europe on August 10
PC worldwide on August 12
These details are currently causing confusion, as Hello Games has not yet made a clarifying announcement on this: It was assumed that the PS4 and PC launches would occur simultaneously.
To make the whole situation even more confusing: Steam indicates the release on August 10. Which date is the “real” one remains unknown. I suppose we will have to wait until the developers have decided on a PC release date.
Gyms, however, give you the coveted PokéCoins, with which you can buy items in the shop – Additionally, you receive Stardust, which you can use to power up your Pokémon. Use the gyms properly to collect many rewards.
Advantages in the Village
If you search for gyms on the map, you usually have a harder time in the village than in the city. However, this doesn’t have to be a disadvantage if you live in a very small village. Because then the number of opponents is also lower. Once you’ve secured your place in a gym, you can claim your rewards every 21 hours. For each gym, you get 500 Stardust and 10 PokéCoins, up to a maximum of 5000 Stardust and 100 PokéCoins for holding 10 gyms.
To collect the rewards, you need to open the shop in the game and click the shield symbol in the upper right corner. The number in the symbol tells you how many gyms you currently own. Don’t use the gained Stardust randomly on any Pokémon, but first ensure how to use Stardust best in Pokémon GO.
If you have several gyms in your area, you should remember which are active and which are more inactive. Start with the less visited gyms but do not place your strongest Pokémon there; instead, use the weaker or “mid-strong” companions. In the rarely visited gyms, often a weaker Pokémon is enough as a sort of “placeholder” to secure the reward. Then, make your way to the frequently visited gyms, which you can take over with the help of your strongest Pokémon.
As soon as you are satisfied with the number of gyms you hold simultaneously, you should collect the rewards for it.

New information suggests that the next hero of Overwatch will be an invisible stealth character. Perhaps she can even cloak other heroes?
Datamining Confirms Stealth Abilities
In recent weeks and days, Blizzard has repeatedly released new details and rumors about the upcoming hero Sombra from Overwatch. This information is often well hidden, such as in a short sequence in the Developer’s Update.
Another hint players believe they have spotted in an in-game video of Ana’s abilities. At the end of the clip, a blurred image briefly appears, which many think is Sombra – others believe it’s just a distorted version of Soldier: 76. But what is he doing there?
Reaper makes a reference to Sombra – but other voice lines have also been discovered on the beta server.
However, the extracted game files from the beta server are much more revealing. There are various voice lines from some heroes warning the team about certain strange effects.
For example, Reaper and Soldier: 76 say “Something is not right here”.
Zenyatta and McCree are even clearer. “I sense the presence of an enemy” and “I can’t see you… but I know you’re there.”
Torbjörn also has a line: “Ah… someone is hiding here.”
Additionally, many heroes have a voice line that clearly says “Enemy detected” – just like you would reveal an invisible enemy.
What’s interesting is not just that the heroes are saying something, but also that they do not specifically address Sombra. If only Sombra were planned as a stealth character, they would likely address her directly – but they do not. It could therefore either be that Sombra can also grant stealth to other characters or that more stealth characters are planned.

The Youtuber Muselk has summarized all these theories and hints in an English video. Furthermore, he suspects that we will hear more about Sombra by the time of GamesCom, as Blizzard traditionally makes some announcements there. We will keep you updated and report as soon as there are new developments.

This comes as a surprise: Just in the last “This Week at Bungie” it was announced that update 2.3.1 should be available for download sometime in the coming weeks. As it turns out, this vague time frame meant a half week later.
Because already today, on July 26th, Destiny receives this update. Starting at 7 PM, you can download and install it.
No maintenance work is required for this. The servers will remain online. So you do not need to abruptly end your Destiny session at 7 PM.
You should have installed the update by 11 PM at the latest. Because then you will receive a WEASEL error code and will be roughly kicked out of the game. Once you have installed update 2.3.1, you can log back in and continue playing.
What changes with patch 2.3.1?
Bungie has not yet provided the patch notes. They should be released when the update 2.3.1 is live.
As no major maintenance work is required, it will likely be a small patch regarding server and stability issues.
As soon as the patch notes are available, we will report on them.

More mount – More abilities – these are the skills of Kled, the new LoL champ, in English
Kled rides on his companion Skaarl, a typical ride lizard, across the maps of League of Legends. Because the two ride together, Kled’s abilities are tied to whether Skaarl is with him or has abandoned the fight out of fear.
Passive – Skaarl, the spineless lizard:
When Kled and Skaarl are together, Skaarl (who has his own health bar) takes the damage instead of Kled. If Skaarl’s health bar drops to 0 health points, the lizard flees and Kled fights alone – Just like good friends do.
If Kled fights alone, he gains a new passive ability that gives him increased movement speed when approaching enemy champions. When attacking towers, champions, or epic monsters, Kled charges Skaarl’s courage until he rejoins the fight.
Q (With Skaarl): Bear trap on a rope
As the name suggests, Kled throws a bear trap attached to a rope in a target direction. All enemies hit take damage, and the trap snaps shut on the first enemy it hits. If Kled remains near the opponent stuck in the trap for a few seconds, he pulls the opponent closer – Meanwhile, enemies are slowed and take damage. Minions receive additional damage from this ability.
Q (Without Skaarl):
In a target direction, Kled fires a barrage – The shot pushes Kled back. This ability is similar to Graves
W – Violent tendencies (passive):
Through normal attacks, Kled enters a frenzy and gains additional attack speed for the next 4 attacks. The fourth attack deals additional damage based on a percentage of the target’s maximum health.
E – Rampaging (Only possible with Skaarl)
The Kled and Skaarl duo storms into a target area and gain additional movement speed for a short time. Along the way, enemies hit take damage. If you hit a champion or a large monster with this ability, you can use it again to deal damage a second time. Did someone say Renekton?
R – AAANGRIIIFF!!! (Only possible with Skaarl)
Now it gets fun! Skaarl transforms into a rolling lizard (similar to Rammus – but not as intricate) and charges to a target area while Kled balances on him. Together, they generate a shield and provide additional movement speed to allies behind them. Skaarl targets the first enemy in sight and rams him, dealing damage equal to a percentage of the enemy’s maximum health.

Patrick says: Well, Kled doesn’t really amaze me (Skaarl doesn’t either) – Champion introductions rarely do. I hope his shield with Skaarl isn’t as annoying as with Tahm Kench, otherwise frustration is pre-programmed. On one hand, I understand that attacks can’t be that extravagant when the champion is already a duo team in the game – However, I am quite disappointed with the Q. But these are just initial thoughts, which can turn into sheer euphoria when playing and testing.
What do you think of Kled’s introduction?

The MMORPG Skyforge will receive a new, extensive update called “Relentless Onslaught” in just a few weeks.
The update will be released on August 17 and is aimed at PvE players. In the new training area Inghar, you can try to face the biggest challenges yet in the MMO with a 5-player group: In the zone, you will face legions of enemies made up of various invasion foes. Each wave of attacks will be stronger than the last – and the longer you hold out, the more valuable the rewards waiting for you at the end will be.
The game is set to become more enjoyable – Controller support for Skyforge
Currently, the development team is also considering how to make the game even better. This is primarily about making it as comfortable as possible for players to become their god and experience adventures with them. Here, the controller support represents a first step in the right direction. Instead of having to deal with mouse and keyboard, you can comfortably play from your sofa with the controller.
Big update coming!
The developers look back on a turbulent year and now have a clearer idea of what Skyforge is and where the journey will lead. Currently, a very large update is being worked on, which will not only bring new content but also significant and far-reaching changes to some core concepts of the MMO.
Additionally, the story of the game will continue, and you can already look forward to a new, challenging boss fight. The update is planned for release this fall. The team thanks all players and hopes that they will continue to join the journey.
At Destiny we showcase the videos of the week from Bungie and our community.
Every week, Bungie selects particularly stunning videos from the global community and honors them as the videos of the week. Just a few days ago, the Gjallarwing Sparrow was unveiled, so it’s no surprise that this week’s video also has the Sparrow as its theme.
So let’s start with a “Sparrow Montage” by Racho, who performs some insane stunts on the vehicle:

Starting from July 26, the crossover event between Final Fantasy XIV and Yo-kai Watch brings mounts, weapons, and companions.
We already reported on this two months ago: What is Yo-Kai Watch? FF XIV collaborates with them. Now it’s happening: The event runs for 2 months starting July 26. There are 13 pets, 13 weapons, and 1 mount to collect.
You start in Ul’dah at the Nald Crossroad (X:9.2, Y:9.1) at level 15. You will receive a Yo-kai Medallium to collect corresponding medals in FATEs. These can be exchanged in the Gold Saucer (X:5.2 Y:6.9) for companions. Once you have collected them all, you will receive a mount with the Whisper Gondola.
To obtain the weapons, you first need the corresponding companion. For example, Jibanyan for the Paladin. With this pet, you complete certain FATEs and earn legendary medals that you can exchange again. The Yo-kai Medallium will inform you which FATEs you need to complete.
Have fun collecting, and catch them all!

Last week, Pokémon GO was again at the forefront, but which articles were also popular?
A new weekly recap every week. As usual, here are the news articles that were highly read.
Pokémon GO
Currently, Pokémon GO is extremely popular everywhere. Numerous sites report on the game. Evoli and its evolutions were among the top contenders. Because it seems that they are not so random but controllable. Additionally, a list of all Pokémon by rarity value was important to you. This way, you finally know why some searches take so much time.
Many places later follows the shooter The Division. Many agents regret that there have been no new story missions since launch. Meanwhile, Massive has tried to ensure that you also die under constant fire in PvP. Your answer is 700k toughness.
Destiny was close to overtaking The Division. In the list of the most popular articles, many news about Bungie’s shooter are listed one after another, if you briefly ignore the Pokémon reports. Only the one article about the neglect of game content surpassed them all, achieving about 50% more views. Thus, there is only bronze instead of silver for Destiny.
Exclusive content for PlayStation 4 interests you a lot. We have also prepared information about the latest livestream. Generally, you are very interested in what is to come, as you want to know how the new armors will look.
League of Legends is new. Not in the sense that it was released recently, but that it has not made its way into the weekly recap until now. It has even surpassed World of Warcraft, despite Legion! Kled and his mount Skaarl accomplished this. This is a new champion for the game.
The pre-patch for World of Warcraft: Legion is approaching, along with the Burning Legion. You asked what will change with the patch, we provided the answer. Among other things, there were extensive changes to the glyphs. And the capitals were restructured, some were completely overcrowded while others were deserted. But that was a bug, not a feature.
The supporter Ana has appeared in Overwatch , she is a healing sniper. And hardly a hero appears, the next one gets their teaser. In general, last week was mainly about the heroes, as besides release and teaser, one also received a buff. And one is said to lose their skin if it goes by Hinduism.
What else happened in the world of MMOs? Black Desert received a subscription model and Star Wars Battlefront an offline skirmish mode. Star Wars: The Old Republic celebrated its 5th anniversary and Neverwinter the release on PlayStation 4. The Elder Scrolls Online got a new update and Blizzard a threat with a terrorist attack. A lot has happened in the last 7 days.
A trainer really wants to catch “all” Pokémon in Pokémon GO!
Even Ash told his friends Misty and Rocky that he wants to be the very best Pokémon trainer and fill his Pokédex with various Pokémon.
This goal is now shared by many trainers who can fulfill their childhood dreams in the real world with the help of the “Pokémon GO” app. Although the game has only been available for a short time, there is already a player who is well on his way to catching all Pokémon.
Initially, he did not want to travel the world to catch the last Pokémon missing from his Pokédex. But now he seems to be driven by ambition.
These 4 Pokémon are only available in certain regions
In the meantime, Nick (ftb_Hodor) Johnson is looking for sponsors and writing to travel companies to finance his Pokémon world trip. If he succeeds, nothing can stand in the way of his goal to catch all Pokémon. For 3 of the missing Pokémon, he has to travel to different regions because the spawn points of these Pokémon are currently regionally limited:
Pantimos: Europe
Porenta: Asia
Kangama: Australia and New Zealand
(the US-exclusive Tauros he has of course already caught)
In No Man’s Sky, you don’t need PlayStation Plus to explore the gigantic galaxy.
On the PlayStation 4, users need a “PS Plus” membership to play online with and against other players. This online service costs around 50 euros per year.
No Man’s Sky, the highly anticipated space simulation from Hello Games, does not require this “PlayStation Plus” requirement – even though it is an online game and you can encounter other players.
However, the emphasis here is on “can,” as the galaxy is procedurally generated and is so gigantic that the chances of encountering other human life are exceedingly slim. Interestingly, No Man’s Sky is also listed as a single-player game on the PlayStation Store and on Steam.
A Sony representative informed GameInformer that PS Plus is not required. However, No Man’s Sky requires an internet connection for your explorations so that you can register them in the “Universal Atlas.” This atlas records all your tracks in the galaxy as “indelible.”
So if you want to roam the galaxy with your buddies but don’t have PS Plus, this problem can be eliminated from the complaint box. Now all you need to do is find each other in No Man’s Sky…
Dogma: Eternal Night aims to be the MMO that World of Darkness should have been. In new videos, you can see how to create a vampire hero.
Bitten beautiful necks and then suck the blood out! Vampires remain one of the most fascinating fictional beings. Many gamers desire an MMORPG where they can roam the night as bloodsuckers. Unfortunately, CCP Games did not produce World of Darkness, and whether White Wolf will undertake such an MMO is still uncertain. However, the development studio Prelude Games Factory is working on Dogma: Eternal Night, which could be considered an unofficial World of Darkness.
Your individual vampire
In the MMORPG, you create a character typical for the genre – only, here you are a vampire. Now, two videos about the game have been released, showing how to generate a hero. You will have many options to customize the appearance of your character to your liking. You can not only make numerous adjustments regarding face, hairstyle, and physique, as known from other genre representatives, but also define how your hero’s vampire form will look. You can choose spooky effects.

At Destiny, there was a curious issue in the Xbox Store over the weekend.
Some users recently reported that they received the items of the “Collector’s Edition” of “The Taken King” for free on Xbox. These are classes, emotes, shaders, and weapon packs that are usually paid items. The collector’s edition has a proud price of nearly 90 euros.
Apparently, an error occurred, causing some Guardians to receive these items for free simply by logging in or downloading a free addon from the Xbox Store. However, this was not intended by Bungie or Xbox.
The “gifts” must be returned
In the meantime, Xbox support has reassured via Twitter. This issue is now said to be resolved. But what happens to the items that some Guardians received as “gifts”?
Bungie is clear about this: Those who received these items unlawfully must return them.
Some Guardians are not particularly happy about this. They emphasize that they have always shown loyalty and were already disadvantaged compared to PlayStation Guardians. They at least could keep these free items. There is nothing wrong with that.
The community manager DeeJ responded to these posts as follows:
Destiny players ARE loyal and we love you. However, we must also be loyal to the “Collectors” who paid for this special edition.
Did you also receive the “Collector’s Edition” items on Xbox?

In Lord of the Rings Online , they want to offer players something spectacular on the final leg of the journey of the Ring.
In Lord of the Rings Online, fans in the forum have received the possible expansion to the other oldie MMORPG from Turbine, Dungeons and Dragons Online, somewhat begrudgingly: They are doing so much, but what about us? Why aren’t we hearing anything about how things will continue in Lord of the Rings Online?
This prompted the Executive Producer to step in. He stated that although he actually did not want to speak about it yet, the team has a lot planned for “Black Gate” and afterwards Mordor. They want the path to Mordor to meet the high expectations of the players. The crescendo, the steps towards the peak of the saga, must be fantastic. And once they arrive in Mordor… “that has to be really big.”
These words from the Executive Producer were the starting signal for other team members from Turbine: They also made their voices heard in forum posts. They spoke about how excited and eager they are to offer players something big. And they also recognize the responsibility and high expectations they must confront.
Mordor – perhaps the end for Lord of the Rings Online?
Lord of the Rings Online is a very strange thing when it comes to a possible end, as it clearly follows a “narrative journey” familiar to millions of people through the books and films, which is now drawing to a close after many years.
The journey is set to lead to Mount Doom in 2017. Whether and how things will continue with “Lord of the Rings Online” after that, whether they want to tell their own story after the end of the “official part” as was once considered, there has been no clear commitment in recent months, even though fans urgently demand it for clarity.
On August 16, the next expansion module of the MMORPG Neverwinter, Storm King’s Thunder, will be released.
Now the developers at Cryptic Studios have spoken about the campaign contained within it, which leads you through a series of new and dangerous areas. You will be guided step by step through the story and thus also through the new zones. Your task is to protect Bryn Shander, the main settlement of the Ten Towns of Icewind Dale, from an invasion of giants. But first, you need to reach the city and plan your further steps from there!
Step-by-Step Adventures
The residents of Bryn Shander fear that their end has come, but when you arrive in the city, you can turn the tide once more. From here, it continues in stages through the story. From Bryn Shander, you will travel to the village of Lonelywood, where you will encounter trolls and something much worse! Finally, you will reach Cold Run. Here, your task is to scout the coasts. For the giants who have plunged the north into chaos are hiding somewhere here.
A Mysterious Empire
However, this is not all. For as the story progresses, you will uncover the secret of a long-forgotten empire… Additionally, you can unlock extra options and even new blessings in the campaign shop. At the end of the campaign, you will unlock “Fangbreaker Island,” the largest challenge you can face in the MMORPG Neverwinter. But you should only tackle this adventure if you have completed the Storm King’s Thunder campaign!

Kakao Games has announced a rough date when naval battles will come to our version of Black Desert .
Battles and Treasure Hunts at Sea
In the Korean version of Black Desert, players have been able to explore the vast sea for a few days, transporting goods from one coast to another and ambushing other players and their ships. Alternatively, the sea can be explored and hidden treasures salvaged. Those who are careless may also be devoured by the various sea creatures (on average, huge monsters that love to swallow ships). In short: There is a lot to do with ships in Black Desert.

In Pokémon GO , a supposed sighting of the legendary Pokémon Mewtwo in Japan has turned a park into a frenzy.
The huge hype around Pokémon GO is slowly dying down here in Europe: we are no longer greeted with information in the morning breakfast news. However, in Japan, they are still in the early stages: the game has only been out for a few days there. And in the home of the phenomenon, the madness is particularly intense.
Thousands flocked to the park to catch Mewtwo – Japan in Pokémon GO fever
As Kotaku reports, there is the Tsuruma Park in Nagoya, where the area around a fountain looks like a Pokéball from above. Some hardcore fans know this. And this knowledge made the rumor all the more believable: if the developers hide an Easter egg somewhere, it must be there!
At our time, it all unfolded on Saturday afternoon. However, Japan is 7 hours ahead of us – so it was in the middle of the night there. When the rumor about Mewtwo spread on social media, it was already after midnight, yet thousands of Japanese flocked to the park.
Numerous tweets and pictures testify to the madness. However, Mewtwo was nowhere to be found. It was probably all a joke.
The twist, however: When many players gather in one place, more and rarer Pokémon seem to spawn there as well. It is said that at night, the rather rare Pokémon Blastoise and Gyarados were caught several times. So for some Poké pilgrims, it was indeed a worthwhile hunting round.
Anyone who says now: Typical Japanese, they’re all crazy anyway – Well, something quite similar happened in our cultures:
Amazon has daily lightning deals, offering some products at a significantly reduced price. We have looked at these today and filtered interesting offers from the gaming sector for you.

There is also a keyboard to go with it. Starting at 4 PM, the Corsair Gaming Keyboard K40 is on sale. However, if you want to stick with Roccat for the mouse, you’re also in luck. Because the Roccat Ryos is also discounted.

In The Division, we present six tips on how to easily master the toughest PvE activities in Heroic mode.
Currently, The Division can be quite challenging but also demotivating. Because some enemies can take you down with just one shot despite high toughness values and require three or four full magazines to go down.
However, YouTuber Skill Up states: No, the game is not difficult; it is just anything but balanced. With the right attributes, skills, weapons, and gear sets, The Division becomes “very, very easy.” However, if you do not have these, the MMO shooter is pure torture in the most brutal PvE activities.
Therefore, Skill Up presents six tips that may surprise some, but are “excellent” in practice. They help you stay alive and successfully complete the PvE content. Whether you have the most fun this way is another matter.
These tips are intended solely for use in a group. Missions in Heroic mode are not really recommended for lone wolves.

A tactic that many agents like to use is: Attack with as much firepower as possible. They increase the firearms attribute to deal more damage and raise the DPS values. However, this attribute is not important in PvE at all.
Because you receive increased damage from numerous other sources, such as critical hit damage, critical hit chance, headshot damage, damage against elites, armor damage, weapon talents, gear set bonuses (keyword: Vigilance or Striker), skills like Booster or Reinforcement. Given these many possibilities, the firearms value is comparatively insignificant. Therefore, focus on the other attributes.
Tip 2: Toughness around 400k is More Than Enough
In PvE, no toughness values beyond 700k are necessary, as shotgun enemies can still take you down with two shots. Skill Up recommends values around 400k. With that, you can withstand the enemies sufficiently to stagger them with shotguns, for example, and then finish them off. High toughness values are important, but you don’t have to overdo it.
Tip 3: Electronics is “King”
If you moderately improve the other attributes, you have the opportunity to focus more on electronics. Skill Power around 45k is recommended. Because: While you can only increase your own damage with firearms, you can support the whole team much more with high skill power.
Skill Up mentions the following numbers: If you increase firearms by 1500, you gain about 20% more DPS. If you apply this advantage to the entire team, in theory, everyone benefits by 5%. However, if you increase skill power and use Reinforcement, each agent receives 50% more damage output. You also gain the additional benefits of Reinforcement, such as increased resistance. The entire squad benefits significantly more from high skill power.
Important skills for this build are Reinforcement and Booster or Medical Station.
Tip 4: Support Your (Matchmaking) Team
Skill Up reveals that he currently spends more time in randomly assembled teams than in friends’ teams. But this is precisely an advantage of this build: This allows you to improve the entire team, whether it came to you via matchmaking or consists of friends. And you are less dependent on the randoms: Because you bring everything to the table to advance the team and lead them to victory.
Tip 5: Stagger Enemies in PvE
With shotguns, you can inflict the “stagger” effect on enemies. This causes them to stagger, temporarily incapacitating them. Therefore, choose strong shotguns like the SASG-12 in PvE. Additionally, explosive rounds are useful for stopping incoming enemies. One shotgun enemy can be enough to wipe out the entire team. So stagger him!
For the gear set, the Restorer Set is recommended, which supplies the entire team with special ammo and consumables.
Tip 6: DPS Means Nothing
The final tip summarizes the previous ones: Do not focus on high DPS values but on staying alive. Improve your whole team with your skill power and powerful skills. Because these enhance the “bare numbers” more than anything else.
To assemble the necessary gear for these tips requires no immense effort. By completing activities and diligently recalibrating the found gear, you can quickly reach the recommended skill power and toughness values.
Note: Skill Up recommends trying out these tips if you are having trouble with the difficulty of the shooter. However, there are also other tactics possible to play successfully. He doesn’t want to dictate how to “best” play The Division.
What do you think of these tips?

In Destiny, we take a look at a comparison video that demonstrates the transformation of the Cosmodrome with “The Taken King”.
Just a few days ago, Bungie held a livestream for the “Cosmodrome Winter Tour”, where they guided us through the revamped Alt-Russia area, as it will look after the fall expansion.
With “The Taken King”, winter returns: Snow blankets the Cosmodrome and occasionally it even starts to snow. But it’s not just the snow that reshapes the landscape: The Devil Splicers are spreading in the area, cutting and melting metal and giving the Cosmodrome their “individual touch”.
And then there’s the SIVA spread. This organic-mechanical technology manifests in the form of red “roots” and black, pyramid-shaped objects that plague the Cosmodrome, just like the Plaguelands.
The YouTuber Arekkz Gaming has gone straight to the Cosmodrome and compared the shown images of the “new” Cosmodrome with those of the “old” Cosmodrome. Here is the comparison video:

The changes in the Cosmodrome are not just cosmetic; that some metal has been clipped here or a snow mound rises there. Since the Devil Splicers were hard at work, new areas have now been uncovered and melted away, into which you currently cannot advance. Thus, the revisions are also game-changing interventions.
A significant new feature that will be available in the Cosmodrome starting this fall are the new enemies. While currently the Fallen roam or sometimes the Hive break in, now the Devil Splicers are also lurking around, wanting to make our lives difficult with their fresh technology.
What do you think of the “new” Cosmodrome? After all, the new will replace the old Cosmodrome, and not just for a few days, but at least until the “next big thing”. Perhaps someday we will be able to say: “I was there when the Cosmodrome was not yet covered in snow.”
