  1. I find that quote to be pretty apt for Israel as they're in danger of becoming the kind of people that they originally fled. Not in the nazi sense, more in the non-democratic apartheid sense. I'd say they're pretty much there, I image that you're referring to their treatment of the Ethiopian and the Sudanese. Also, it seems like an unfair comparison due to Germany having a strain on resources because of war efforts, leading to extreme measures. Israel seems to be heading there despite astronomical monetary support from the US; which we should stop IMO. I meant the way they treat the Palestinians and israeli-arabs, the Jewish population is actually a minority in their country. They literally have a choice between having a democratic state while being a minority vs a nondemocratic state ruled by the minority.

  3. I thought Spanish would be in as a voiced language, given it's audience in the US, also a heck of a lot easier and cheaper to find a Spanish speaker.
  4. Where's your proof? volo is one of those members who has this irrational and unfathomable dislike of Obama, he cant really give you a valid reason but tends to generalize so dont take what he says personally or think he actually wants to debate the point in a normal way Fair enough then.....
  5. Where's your proof?
  6. Well, everyone who backed on a high enough level or purchased extra early access add on. Oh, didn't really know for sure how their open beta proccess worked.
  7. Obama didn't do that with black ethno-nationalists, so, lets not throw such accusations around. @raithe: I find it ironic that they used tiki/hawaiian/polynesian torches instead of white-people-made torches, whatever that looks like.
  8. Does Josh Sawyer know that? He does, that's why he's pushing for one Well, it is loosely based on a rough historical period.
  9. Everybody who is a backer of Deadfire (both through the site and the fig thing) gets access to the open beta, right? So, then is the chance to air issues with the romance system if they exist. Right now, we don't know 100% how the whole mechanics work, so, we're going off of hypotheticals and examples in other games.
  10. Exactly, and with twice the voiceover, that means twice the work. As for the Polish localization stretch goal, that was one of their early stretch goals.
  11. Wasn't one of the stretch goals Polish localization or voiceover? *goes and looks* Edit: I think it was just the localization, not voiceover.
  12. From another forum that I'm on: "The Chinese dream is a daydream and a nightmare. AI chatbots pulled from China after they went rogue and betrayed the CCP So secret option 17, while North Korea and USA argue, China is liberated by a robot uprising" Seriously, check out the article, ROFL.
  13. And trying to counter the far left by swinging that far over just makes both sides EVEN MORE polarized. As for the centrists, something has to fill the vacuum left behind by both sides, and the democrats are trying to decide whether to go further left or stay where they are.
  14. Aarik confirmed back in March that Josh did say that walking animations are on the list and it's confirmed to be on their list, so, just going to have to wait and see if they'll get around to it.
  15. Trump finally acknowledges the death of victims of...... the helicopter crash. Wut, no acknowledgement of the woman who died in the car incident? edit: Article updated as he mentioned it a half hour later, kind of seems like an afterthought when done via tweet.
  16. I edited my previous post. It doesn't seem anything directly related to the protests themselves, as far as people know anyway. edit: @lefer: Might want to spoiler that due to the image size.... Though really, no surprise there.
  17. Not on CNN, and a helicopter going down would certainly get their attention. Looking at the google news aggregate. Found one: http://wset.com/news/local/report-helicopter-crashes-near-golf-course-in-charlottesville No indication of what caused it though.
  18. Article linkage?
  19. .....this sounds like a term created in some misplaced SJ discussion It's a play on "radical islamic terrorism".
  20. Representing the many Americans who would have no clue what you mean, What do you mean? @deadly_nightshade: Haven't heard or seen reports about gunfire either though. I take it you're a Charlottsville native?
  21. Trump refuses to acknowledge it though, as usual. Or maybe he'll say it's a 'fake hate crime' despite video, which he'll say is also fake
  22. There seems to be a debate whether to call it terrorism, but really, since terrorism is all about intent, it should be called that, and people on the ground were calling it one.
  23. I'm not sure either whether it was in the middle of a clash between the two groups or it was a group of only counter-protesters. Also, "alt-right" is a (well, has been and can be used) catchall for all of those white supremacist type groups.
  24. That's entirely subjective, but it's the counter-protesters that got run over. Also, one person has died in those clashes.
  25. His point is that their time would be better spent on more important things. If they have time to do it, sure, but I'd imagine that doing this is pretty low on their priority list. If one of the devs wants to work on it in their spare time, sure, that's up to them. As for usage of a walk toggle, I haven't found myself wanting to use one in PoE and I'd probably rarely use it if it did exist. Also, if you look at the dev comment, it IS on their list, so.
