  1. Theres Vithrak and we know there are ogres in the deadfire, so ogres are a possibility. They probably require large ships though. Having construct crew are a possibility as well.
  2. lol, yup, I hope they'll fix that before the final version. I assume they'll get that fixed.
  3. I had a bit of a giggle at some of the articles on the subject trying so very hard to avoid saying 'Ukraine' but using 'ex soviet' and the like instead. Well, China bought their one and only aircraft carrier from Ukraine. Questions come to mind: 1.Why? <- this probably covers every other question but oh well... 2.What good is one aircraft carrier against 20 or more U.S aircraft carriers that actually work? 3.Is Ukraine an ally of the U.S or China? The world sure is giving us the middle finger these days with its politics, I want the 90's back. TO WIKIPEDIA! Basically, the Soviet Union collapsed and Ukraine was stuck with a partially built aircraft carrier, and they wanted to get rid of it. 2. You ask me... 3. It was a business purchase (that's how it was claimed anyway), and the thing was barely more than half built. Also, they've been working on their own homebuilt carrier which launched earlier this year and I guess is in sea trials atm. Supposed to be fully armed and kitted out by 2020. "The world sure is giving us the middle finger these days with its politics, I want the 90's back." Out of complete and honest ignorance of what Iran did in the 90's, not sure what you mean. Though obviously our experiences growing up (I was born in 1983) are different.
  4. Well, it's in the far southern part of it and what we've seen so far is tropical or subtropical. Not sure if we know whether we can traverse the WHOLE deadfire archipelago or just a portion of it.
  5. Kinda offtopic for here, but, what's the story behind Sesame being really sick? I've seen Josh's instagram pictures of her with the 'collar of shame' and a bandage (or cast?) around her body, so I know she was sick at one point, but I didn't see any mention of what happened, at least in the pictures I did look at.
  6. Maybe it just got TOO associated with the hashtag since it's an extremely decentralized thing. Everything kaineparker mentioned had some centralized leadership, usually around a bunch of elders. BLM didn't have any of that AFAIK. Not really fair of me to determine or assume what went wrong with it though.
  7. Rumors of a Bannon ouster have been bubbling around for a week now, but they've been intensifying. Bannon being ousted would definetly be a big double edged sword for Trump as it'll affect his base and who knows what Bannon would do afterwards. Wtf? Who the hell vandalizes the Lincoln memorial?
  8. The shooting of the two asian cops (actually, I think only one was asian?) in NYC wasn't even related to BLM. It was a random guy who just wanted to kill cops.
  9. I guess that's part of the problem that BLM has, it doesn't really have major leaders that everybody looks up to and, well, lead the group, like the civil rights movement did. And yeah, the fringe parts doing violence and BLM not separating enough (in the eyes of some people) from those parts.
  10. Okay. Most of the time, when the captions screw up, you can still get the gist or context of it.
  11. In the part about the helm, the youtube captions messes up and says 'a few non piste crew members', what was actually being said there?
  12. I've seen a few stories on that. Should be something to look into or at least check out if it's credible. Of course though, there are so many rumors and false stories revolving around the DNC hack that it'd be better left to the pros to investugate rather than armchair investigators.
  13. I guess it might be a disadvantage if you pull a large aggro or engage in combat again before combat with the first group goes out of combat mode. Easily solveable by slowing down a bit or kiting off some from a large group.
  14. How did you get to that? I don't see any archive section anywhere and it's not visible on the way-off-topic section either.
  15. That first one looks wierd, like he has two thick black chopsticks (or charcoal sticks) stuck up his nose. I don't mean to make light of it, just that it really does look wierd.
  16. By Stalin also. Remember Trotsky? But it takes fascism to get there. Charlottesville is what the left wanted all along, just like the Berkeley riots: https://www.city-journal.org/html/avoidable-mayhem-15394.html Well, Berkeley has a reputation for it, not Charlottesville.
  17. Welcome back and congrats.
  18. I wouldn't count it out. Trump could still overreact to something and he very well could try something in an attempt to distract from everything and make people praise him.
  19. My first question would be, do you have the latest update for your video/graphics card? Sometimes that ends up being the case, sometimes not. Doesn't hurt to check.
  20. You're probably right, also, this article explains the whole thing somewhat: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/8/14/16143820/godaddy-and-google-wont-host-daily-stormer-domain So, yeah, it's really not as simple as it may seem.
  21. While awesome, it does bring up the question of "Why didn't they (GoDaddy and Google included) do it earlier?" if they don't want to support white supremacy and neonazis. Not saying that the companies are bad, it's just a "Why now and not earlier?" question. Obviously the answer would be money, but it's more a pattern of enforcement.
  22. Unless the Country as a whole unites to decry this as abhorrent and unacceptable and actively tries to resist, instead of just playing lip service, then it is going to get worse. It's definetly not over yet, that's for sure, and you can probably count on Trump potentially making things worse. Like what if something bigger happens that absolutely cannot be blamed on the counter-protestors or contorting his way out of it?
  23. Protestors in North CArolina topple a confederate statue, stalin statue style. That's definetly one way to do things. Probably a good thing that it was made from some cheap metal as it crumpled into itself.
  24. Meh, in terms of fighting the most wars, the U.S. is still playing catch up to Great Britain. simultaneous wars? Mmm, I think GB has us beat there too. Anyway, the scope is probably more important than the total number of wars. It includes the 'Cod Wars', which were as much of a war as two sports teams going at each other.
  25. Yeah after days of people telling the boy to do it. Wonder why he felt he had to be so fair when he could just lay into Neo Nazis and KKK trash, who is going to feel aggrieved by him slamming them. Big shock you're playing it that way though, heh. bud didn't he attacked them? I mean Neo Nazis and KKK are basically synonym for racism? Yeah, but he didn't call them out by name and the "on many sides" bit didn't help either. As for who is going to feel aggrieved, the tiny slice that comprises that part of his base and he ALWAYS panders to the whole of his base. Basically, he's stuck in campaign mode.
