Upcoming Games/Books/Movies you are looking forward to
Fighter replied to Heijoushin's topic in Computer and Console
Shadow Warrior 2 Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Dishonored 2 Rise of the Tomb Raider Doom 4 I am sure I'm forgetting something. Movies: Nothing really... Kind of hoping for Star Wars to be good but not much faith. -
I love her delusions of grandeur.

"My control". "Carefully orchestrated the press coverage".

- I would rather not go into personal details. I went to a foreign school for some years, that's how I know English. I'll leave it at that. - There is no agreement amongst Russians as to "what the west wants from us" exactly. But generally it varies around, "They want to set up a puppet government so they can control us and our resources" or "They want to destroy Russia by breaking it into multiple states". - The way I feel about China is that it's one of biggest threats to Russia. They have designs on the far eastern parts of Russia which they consider theirs historically or something. They also have a huge population and less land. Russia has more land per person than any other country in the world or we're way up the list (maybe Greenland or some such place has more). It's a natural progression from here. - I think by far the biggest accomplishments of sanctions is further increasing the animosity Russians hold for the west. - Crimea is historically Russian (well a Russian conquest anyway if you we go further back). It was given to Ukraine during Soviet times but then we all were the Soviet Union together. The loss of Crimea during the breakup of USSR which then truly became Ukrainian is one of the most painfully felt territorial losses. It is the base of the Black Sea fleet. And all those things are very dear to most Russians. During the entire time of Ukrainian independence their government made numerous attempts to "Ukrainize" Crimea and other eastern territories. By clumsy language laws and propaganda. They also introduced elements of direct rule from Kiev by abolishing some elections (I can't remember which but I think the post of governor amongst them). Out of fear that pro-Russian forces would win and push for separation. All this bred feelings amongst Russians in Russia that there is rusophobia in Ukraine and we need to stand up for Russians there and Russian culture that was under assault. Numerous times there was a push to expel the Russian fleet out of Crimea with varying degree of seriousness over the years. Or to get Russia to pay bigger and bigger sum of money for the Black Sea fleet base. The fear was, and I would guess correctly so, that with a more nationalistic government in Kiev they would finally go for it. Also that a NATO base may eventually come (which Ukrainian nationalist do want there if for nothing else out of spite) to the historic base of the Black Sea fleet, to Crimea with its long and colorful Russian military history. There is no limit to the rage and humiliation this would cause. As for Ukraine in general. It is of vital importance for Putin to destroy them and make an example out of them. And he successfully did wreck them for a very long time. Because successful reforms in Ukraine would have enormous influence in Russia which mean he will start losing power. Also I simply think it's personal for him. He feels kinship with another crook and authoritarian like himself be kicked out of office. I think he feels the same way about Assad in Syria.

Sure.

I did not go looking for this, stumbled by accident. Couldn't help but bring it here when I saw it. Can't vouch for how true this is.

Bruce you're only defending SA because they're a western ally and you don't want to admit what kind of a sh*t your role models can easily tolerate when it suits them. Not mentioned also. Everyone pretty much knows Saudi regime "secretly" funds and supports islamist militants all over. Including ISIS. Sometimes a wife gets beaten by her husband yet she still cares for him and makes excuses for him. So it's ok because she's ok? You think the Korean hysteria is fake? It's not entirely though. And that's the point. Why not? A couple of post about it is hardly noteworthy if you're implying I care unreasonably much.
-
Oh my god... See they also "love the dear leader".
-
I am not sure if you're serious or trolling right now. What being an "ally to the west" is supposed to mean they are good now? Saudi Arabia is ruled by a brutal and backwards dictatorship. It's ruled by a king who (the previous one) imprisons his own daughters and marries 15 year old girls. King who is the west's ally. Which doesn't suggest he is any good. On the contrary it suggests western politicians are hypocrites who only care about "western values" when it suits them. Saudi Arabia is no better than any other brutal middle eastern regime.
-
No thats a little unfair..ISIS is much more brutal and barbaric Saudi Arabia is soon to decapitate and then crucify someone for taking part in a protest when they were 17. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3253285/If-die-ve-happy-life-Astonishing-bravery-boy-faces-beheaded-crucified-Saudi-Arabia-taking-protest-17.html

It's worth posting again. Because it's funny.

I really want all that harassment to be published. SJW panels are a regular happening, they exist in practically every convention. But only when the "pro-GG" panel was introduced was there a cancellation. I bet if all the threats and harassment were released we'd see a disproportionately massive effort consisting of threats, intimidation, and shaming tactics on part of the "progressives" and a comparatively tame one from GG supporters.

I guess if you're one of these creeps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TiV6dHtYHM

^Yep. It was amusing to me because it doesn't even register with her. Not even a little. She acts paranoid about men. Her social etiquette is different from that of an average person. Therefore you can't trust that she will interpret what is "creepy" like a normal person. She probably believes in all the "affirmative consent" insanity and that "victims are always right" AND she has buddies high up in police. Why would anyone want to sign up for that. Guess it needs explanation these days. I'll just leave it that...
-
Well she gave suspicion and got suspicion in return.

If security takes precedence than the safest place for you to be is locked in cage. They would let you out to work and then straight back. You have the least chance of being hurt or hurting anyone else locked up. Who wants that? Let me tell you about Russia. Putin's favorite thing to do is to point out all the dirty hypocrisies of the "western" world. Something he does very deftly. It becomes very hard to hold US or anyone as an example when they do stupid things.

To no one's surprise.

Nintendo is avoiding the drama and thinking of "western sensibilities". Take one guess where they get all that from.
-
"morally correct" F--k off.... Don't like it don't use.
-
This anti offensive content system will have clear transparent rules and apply to everyone equally. Right?
-
"Safe Space" nuttery on the march. Some people think it's ridiculous but they are going to be breaching your laws at some point. Maybe even soon.
-
Even if it doesn't fit canon and I don't know either way. Taking the force back to being mysterious and not well known is right.

Ah yes. The diversity crew.
