Ukraine Conflict - "A state of war only serves as an excuse for domestic tyranny"
The way I understood it, his daughter is also in on the whole pro-Putin extremist propaganda stuff. So don't be sexist and feel pity, she probably deserved this at least as much as her father.

I thought it was ok, but nothing special. Someone compared it to fantasy Die Hard and that's pretty fitting. Guess it's worth a watch because of that.

People seem to say this is about adoption / selling babes for money. Dunno how much truth is in there, but considering recent history, I wouldn't doubt that this is all about someones money. Apparently that 16 year old girl is in an orphanage herself, so she'd never get to see the baby anyways - it gets pushed right into the system.

Is this the building that got hit because a journalist accidentally doxed them with showing a road sign in photos?

Ukraine Conflict - "A state of war only serves as an excuse for domestic tyranny"
I've heard about this already a few weeks ago. The problem is not that the vehicles are bad, it's that their barrels can only shoot like 100 rounds per day. Ukraine however is using them way more than that, which ofc means they are breaking down faster.

Heh, you should check out Paddington (and Paddington 2, which is even better) if you haven't yet. I saw someone comment on it once "it's like a Wes Anderson movie, but without the pretentiousness" - I think that fits quite well.

Random video game news... may the dice be with you!
They will be playable on console and that's it, I guess. : x I really hate how there is no range in those combat scenes. Everything takes place in a 10x10 grid.

About Gothic remake... if it's anything like the demo from a while ago.. no thanks. About JA3 ... I'm highly skeptical. The biome looks interesting, but ugh, yet another nu-xcom combat system. I dunno man.

Alara being written out was weird as well. And her comment about it is cryptic too "It wasn’t about a choice. It was what was best for the show at the time." The hell is that supposed to mean

Usually those 100% scores only happen because of a very limited amount of reviews, so generally it's pretty useless, imo. I've seen enough 90+% movies that made me fall asleep in the middle. What I find more interesting about The Orville is that critics slammed it at first, and later did a 180 on it.

"A man drove his car into a barricade near the U.S. Capitol early Sunday and then began firing gunshots in the air before fatally shooting himself" Makes it sound as if he accidentally shot himself. Hope that was the case, would be hilarious.

It's a step in the right direction. Can also lock up Hillary Clinton next, fine by me.- Ukraine Conflict - "A state of war only serves as an excuse for domestic tyranny"
Russians and their homophobia. Not too long ago, a russian user on a different forum called me "Fritz" as derogatory slang (because germany) and said my added features in Fallout 1in2 were "homosexual" - makes me think that the socialist fraternal kiss between Leonid Brezhnev and Erich Honecker must have caused a real generational trauma to them.- The TV and Streaming Thread: Summer Reruns
Damn. I thought The Orville s3 has an 11th episode. Now I found out it ended last week with the 10th and that it originally was supposed to have 11 episodes, but due to pandemic, one had to be scrapped. Sadness. However, I checked the wiki page again and saw the box with the season ratings and thought it was hilarious. ... Season 1, critics: 30% .... season 2 and 3, critics: both 100%. Real funny stuff how back then all those "professional critics" were praising NuTrek and crapping on the Orville, but user reviews were the exact reverse. And now here we are. Seems they are trying to get a season 4 done with Disney. Not sure how to feel about it, but we'll see I guess. Would be sad if it stops now. I'm simply not going back to NuTrek, that ship has sailed for me.- The All Things Political Topic - We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office
I find it funny how much you are blowing up that small comment. This is not the first time that Trump and his goons are in trouble. He is dodging prison for years already, why should it be different this time. I'm sure he'll be fine, don't worry.- The All Things Political Topic - We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office
Sure why not, I don't care. Bruh, he is getting **** for years already and nothing is happening for one reason or the other. That said, I am fine with whatever makes america less of a ****hole country. Yes, completely useless as nothing has changed for him. They just pretend it never happened and move on.- The TV and Streaming Thread: Summer Reruns
Man, if I'll ever visit that place, I'd be the rudest and most "don't give a ****"-person in all of s. korea probably. 😄 How do they handle us brute westerners?- The TV and Streaming Thread: Summer Reruns
Funny, in the episode I just saw, the male main lead is driving the female main lead to the hospital, because she twisted her ankle. 😄 /Edit: It's still a good show so far, but it makes me furious when characters are ice cold into each others faces and then behind the back they actually think something completely different, but they have to act like that because... I have no idea, some weird morale? Does korea also have "face" (honor) like japan / china?- The TV and Streaming Thread: Summer Reruns
Half the time when I'm looking up those actors, it turns out they were in "bands" before (usually just large groups of people who dance in sync... not my cup of tea, tbh). I like the kind of drama and cuteness of some of those shows, but the story twists are often hilariously bad. Like in Twenty-Five Twenty-One where they already establish in the first two episodes that apparently every single character with more than two lines of dialog is in some way connected to each other. I dunno if this is because koreans like stuff related to faith, but to me it's just unbelievable and lol.- The All Things Political Topic - We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office
I just finally want to see Trump and all his other cult goons in jail. Why is this such a hard thing to do..- The New Cinema and Movie Thread
Man, people sure love to nitpick that movie. 😄 On the plus side, I guess that means generally people really liked it, because if they wouldn't, they wouldn't be talking about it for so long.- What are you Playing Now? I name all the operations that go down in Taipei.
It's a known thing to get +1 month bonus time. I did the same back then. I've also tried to play the game on PS4 for lolz but quit after like 20 minutes. The interface and everything is just terrible. PC Master Race forever.- The TV and Streaming Thread: Summer Reruns
I started watching Twenty-Five Twenty-One and ... it's cute. : x There's so many garbage k-tv shows, where I can't even get through the first episode, but then suddenly it hits you again with something that you just have to keep watching. For me, this is one of those shows. That said, inside of me I'm very torn on those shows. Like.. I see it and it's cute and I like the people and man, do they (sometimes) look good. But then I have to think about the kind of entertainment industry that s.k has and how most of those people are probably from some entertainment factory where they are training their whole life already and aren't doing anything else... It's kinda dystopian to me. What's also funny is that when looking up "real" photos of those actors, I almost never recognize them. They seem to look completely different in the tv shows. In the shows they feel like humans to me, on those pictures on the internet they are like fake puppets with fake hair and all that makeup and photoshop.- Ukraine Conflict - "A state of war only serves as an excuse for domestic tyranny"
