I can add that the Green party (MP) is dangerously close to the 4% limit with 4.4% of the votes (you have to have at least 4% to sit in the parliament, to prevent a ton of small parties with only one or two seats). So the additional votes coming in tomorrow could potentially cause them to be kicked out (haven't done the math on it though).

One voting district had accidentally reported the votes for the county election instead of the parliament election, after correction the Alliance has lost one seat to SD. This means that the Red-Green block has a two seat lead now.

Glad to see SD didn't gain as much as some of the polls suggested.
What's wrong with SD?
How about:

-Wanting to "replace" the media.
-Wanting to decrease the right to abortion.
-Wanting to get rid of paternal leave.
-Being populist and nationalist.
-Having its roots and foundations in genuine neo-nazi and fascist groups.
-Long history of anti-gay, anti-semitic, xenophobic and racist incidents
-...
That too

All 6004 districts have been counted now. The amount of seats each block have has not been affected.

SD invited M and KD to talks, but they declined. So it seems like a SD backed M+KD government is unlikely. The alliance party leaders are currently in talks and wants to form a government.

Apparently the additional votes coming in on Wednesday will be  200k, not 50k (?). There's only a ~28k vote difference between the blocks so it may affect the result after all. edit: there will be around 200k additional votes but only 50k of them are from expats.

https://www.svt.se/nyheter/val2018/sverige-gar-till-val-2018

So far the votes in 6002 out of 6004 districts total has been counted.

The Red-Green block has so far gotten 40,6% of the votes, and the right-wing Alliance has gotten 40,3%. The Sweden Democrats has gotten 17,6 of the votes.

That means that it looks like the Red-Greens will have 144 seats in the parliament, the Alliance will get 143, while SD will get 62 seats. Since the parliament has 349 seats that means neither block has a big enough majority (174+ seats) to pass a budget (and therefore form a government) on their own.

There will be an additional 50k preliminary and expat votes coming in on Wednesday, but they're unlikely to sway the result much.

The Red-Greens would probably require the support of The Center and Liberal parties to stay in control, but they're unlikely to support a government with the Leftist Party in it (the Leftists has gained votes while the bigger Social Democrat party has lost some).

On the other hand, the major party of the Alliance block (the Moderates) wouldn't be able to form a government without the support of the nationalist SD. But while the Christian Democrats (KD) might be okay with that, the Center and Liberals probably wouldn't. Although the Moderates + KD with the support off SD would have a majority of seats, that move would likely be hugely unpopular with some of their voters. edit: this is false, my bad. This would still be a minority government with only 44.4% of the seats.

The Alliance party leaders have been clear that they want to depose the current prime minister, Stefan Löfven, who is also the party leader for the Social Democrats. He has also been quite adamant about not resigning unless he's forced out by vote, which can't happen until in two weeks when the parliament opens again.

No one wants to be merely supporting a government in the opposite block and no one (except maybe M and KD) wants to work to work together with the Sweden Democrats.

We're in quite a pickle here.

as long as the definitive edition has all the DLC, it doesn't matter

the real problem with definitive editions is that they depend on you not already owning the game—so you might have spent $120 on the game + all its DLC, while i'm sitting here only paying half of that because i was smart enough to wait

which is not exactly fair, but w/e
Apparently it would cost me 58,86€ to buy all the DLC I'm missing for the game (I have the original edition) but only 29,99€ to buy the Definitive Edition lol

I won't pretend to be too passionate about this since I haven't played the Withcer trilogy yet, but he doesn't seem like he would fit the role to me. But I digress, I've been wrong about castings before.

I’m pretty sure Sleeping Dogs has DLC
The regular version does, but it's discontinued and no longer sold on Steam. I linked the definitive edition.

Sleeping Dogs - Pretty decent GTA-like, but with more focus on melee combat over guns. Set in Hong Kong and inspired by Kung Fu flicks. Story was pretty good. I liked the setting, from what I've heard it's pretty accurate to feeling like the real Hon Kong on a street level (though they took some liberties with the geography and were things are - and obviously it's much smaller).

Portal 2 - It's Portal 2, I can't say much about this one that others haven't.

Night in the Woods - Very story-driven sort of walking-simulator esque thing. There are some mini games here and there, but 95% of the focus is on character interactions. It's kind of short, I played through it in 8 hours. Though there things you can miss if you choose other stuff instead, so I hear you can have multiple playthroughs that are different. I personally liked this one a lot and will do another playthrough someday soon.

Guacamelee!  - Fun metroidvania brawler where the fighting moves and the platforming abilities are the same thing. Inspired by Mexican mythology and luchador wrestling. Pretty great music and IMHO good looking art style. The story is kind of lackluster though, it's a typical save-the-princess deal. This edition has an extra area I think, don't know how well that holds up to the rest of the game (I played the original version).
