CD Projekt Red director: Side quests get the same attention as the main story

Cyberpunk 2 director Paweł Sasko explained that the high quality of side quests in The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 is a deliberate studio policy, not coincidence. CD Projekt Red dedicates the same level of attention to side quests as to the main storyline. Sasko stated that "quality was a necessity, not a nice addition" — a philosophy he says sets the studio apart from competitors.

Are CD Projekt Red's side quests the best in the gaming industry?

Śnieżka, the highest peak of the Karkonosze mountains at 1,603 m above sea level, recorded a temperature of 25.7°C — the highest ever measured there by Poland's meteorological institute IMGW. The previous record of 25.2°C was set in 1982. The Karkonosze National Park staff confirmed the historic reading.

Should mountain temperature records push the government to take more urgent climate action?

Creamy iced coffee without ice cube trays — just use a freezer bag

To make an extra cold and creamy iced coffee, pour coffee into a zip-lock bag and freeze it flat. The frozen coffee sheets can then be blended into milk or cream, producing a drink that is colder and more refreshing than one made with regular ice cubes, since it doesn't dilute the flavour. No special equipment is needed.

Is homemade frozen coffee better than a café-bought iced coffee?
