Finished off Blood and Wine, not very happy with the ending but the only save I have before the branching (which was obviously going to a bad ending, thinking about it) is quite a ways back and I don't feel like doing all that stuff over again. Bah.

This is the type of criticism I dont understand....why is a photo with Hilary and and another women holding doughnuts considered funny or strange?Sigh. Look at the donuts and think of the female reproductive system. Okay thanks for explaining, I still dont see any humor in the photo but we all have different things that amuse us Do you actually hang out with other men? Like childhood friends? Just curious. No I dont ? Why do you think that matters...what would I gain That explains a lot. I dunno. Most of my guy friends wouldn't laugh at that kind of humour.

Interesting ploy but won't they get in trouble for trying to use bankruptcy to avoid paying a punishment?

Dreamfall as the reward for XP, haha.

Guess there is something to the pompous Euro stereotype. Can't wait to see what kind of rigged electoral reform they come up with here.

June 17th can come soon enough

There's been plenty of evidence that the official whistleblower program was either a joke or worse, an attempt to snare discontents and suppress them: e.g. TLDW: former head of the whistleblower program at the DoD basically saying it was fatally compromised by criminal proceedings against said whistleblowers (specific case Thomas Drake) that probably used information supplied to his office and were blatant attempts to suppress whistleblowing via Chilling Effect. Also has to be said that Snowden (unlike Assange/ WL though even they didn't leak absolutely everything they got) didn't leak everything to the world, indeed he leaked a small amount and most of the really juicy stuff is escrowed against the CIA giving him a polonium sandwich. He leaked selected stuff to selected journalists and it was only stuff that (1) most rational people suspected already happened and (2) the foreign alphabet soup acronyms would already know about. The idea that China with one of the most controlled internet ecologies in the world wouldn't know that a PRISM/ xkeyscore program existed is laughable as they have the exact same thing in operation there. More broadly, Snowden is certainly qualified to comment as he'd have a good idea of what foreign countries can do from his time in the NSA('s contractor), but in this case it probably doesn't matter. Assuming the FBI information is correct her server had appallingly bad security that was vulnerable to a bog standard Romanian hacker and while that was probably 'just' gross stupidity she also appears to have tried to hide evidence via mass deletions (later recovered off a cloud back up). Whether she'll get in trouble for it or some underlings will take the fall- probably with a promise of a pardon later, per Susan McDougall- is an open question, though the obvious fall guy already has an immunity agreement. She certainly should be in trouble for it though as there's no need for her to have deliberately lost classified material, only negligently lost it. I can't see any way that having a badly configured private server against protocols and designed primarily to subvert Freedom of Information requests then using it for classified material doesn't pass the negligence threshold. Yes, but have seen him comment on things that Schneier is probably better to comment on. Then again, it was on Reddit. Shame the movie about him doesn't look that promising

Hah. Good question but parents took us here for some reason. And Trinidad is kind of unsafe these days - 1.3MM people yet 403 murders, 500 shootings and 829 sexual assaults in 2014. Also the island is full of Trinidadians. Duplicitous scum, all

Trinidad

Why? He was asserting the negative.

Ah reminds me of back home. Water would only be on from 4 to 6 and then 18 to 20 I think. So everyone had massive tanks.

Why would she be worse than Trump?

Wow that is more brazen than I would have expected.

You deny the greatness that was C&C?

Hm, doesn't whistleblowing entail working internally rather than just leaking everything to the world? Minor quibble I suppose. Though now the guy is treated as some authority on security, heh.

Yup. Felt that way about the base game. So far it is fun to run around Toussaint, found more interesting spots than I usually do. Shame I am useless at combat though.

Twitter. Mankind's worst invention

Reddit is even more fun to read this week.

Oh yes. Years of having no life mean a lot of cash for these sales. Muahahha Anyone want a GK 20th anniversary edition key ?

2 bucks cheaper than Steam. Woo. Summer sale starting today.

Nothing, just says things about you people, really. Starting up Blood and Wine, forgot how crap my gear is.

A country saving indictment. Ah, dramatics.

Engineers can say with accuracy when it will be finished. Yeah.....
