Vals you should tell Putin that, he invaded Ukraine and started this carnage and war And he is a liar, you cant trust him as far as you can throw him. Remember when he said " we aren't going to invade Ukraine, our troops are just doing a training exercise on the border of Ukraine" Also if you dont trust any of the current media houses where do you get your information from, who can we trust if embedded journalists in Ukraine from numerous places report on the same stories?

Yes, I want to play these games. I have heard mostly good things about them. How has your overall experience been ?

Sounds serious almost like you saying war causes people to do terrible things to achieve victory Its true, thats what is often necessary in war and often occurs

My adventures in ToB are progressing nicely, after killing Yaga-Shura I decided to complete Watchers Keep ToB really is my best RPG of all time for several reasons that include I love all games that use the D&D, or similar, rulesets and FR is my favorite setting The high level battles are varied and exciting, it reminds me of D:OS2 The overall ToB narrative is excellent where you face different Bhaalspawn and where you have to consider your own dark destiny. Side quests are worthwhile and interesting The party interaction and Romance arcs are very entertaining Watchers Keep is probably my favorite side quest of all time, I loved the different levels and how you had to navigate them. At the end when I faced Demogorgon I realized I had been lied to by Odren so I returned to him and confronted him. He went into the Keep by himself and I sealed Watchers using the Ritual Scroll from the ghost. I decided its better not to try to kill Demogorgon because how that might unbalance the Abyss and trapping him within the Keep seemed more poetic and painful. And the one battle to unlock the seals with the Demons and the Hive Mother was the hardest battle I have ever had but I used summons strategically, spells to remove magic, delayed AOE spells like Skull Trap and HLA like Hardiness and I won on the 5th time Im am now on my way to the Oasis, grand events await me

Energy load shedding is normal in SA, you get use to it. At the moment we have had 2-4 hours a day for the last 2 months Businesses invest in generators or inverters so your business continues during load shedding And if it happens in the EU\UK its because of Putin using energy blackmail and the gas slowdown, so you blame him. I dont see it leading to political change because what political change would you expect, a UK\EU political party that supports Russia and not the EU? Thats highly unlikely, even the new " fascist " Italian party still supports Ukraine https://www.barrons.com/news/ukraine-can-count-on-italy-meloni-says-01664348106

Long overdue and its egregious that anyone should be prosecuted for usage and possession of marijuana

Okay Wormie you win, you hate CDPR and you dont care its a Polish company. I tried

Excellent trailer but how is this different to the AE edition released 1 year ago? I am an absolute Bethesda sheeeeeeep and I will " day 1 " purchase it if its got new features but since I currently have 3 different and unplayed versions of Skyrim on Steam I need some motivation?

Yes and if you live in that country wouldnt you be proud and supportive of that company because it benefits your country with the tax generated? And I assume you still have family and friends living in Poland and since we both agree that tax revenue is a good thing doesnt that mean you would support the success of CDPR as a Polish company because it benefits Poland and the people living there ?

They seem to be very reticent about Hadar....only time will tell

, I have never heard of it The only memorable game from SA is Stasis and Im not sure how many people know about it ? https://store.steampowered.com/app/380150/STASIS/ Ask your president why he gave a copy of W2 game to Obama, he can explain it Its just about being proud of something that comes from your country, patriotism and all that. I understand it

Yes and that is because OPEC is cutting 2 million barrels a day. But its simple supply and demand. It has nothing to do with the Western economic structure or sanctions against Russia so we dont want to read into it things that dont exist OPEC wants to make more money and they concerned with the overall demand for oil and " uncertainty " https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2022/10/05/gas-prices-going-up-opec-production/8191610001/

What would be fun about it? So we can see how much forced annexation\colonialism is supported when governments vote in secret and are hypocrites to what they say they believe in which is respecting sovereignty? What would be the point of a secret vote anyway because we wont know which countries dont respect international law and its not going to change anything? Its not going to end the war and Western sanctions will continue These votes in the UN are not binding, they more symbolic

Well in life you definitely dont just like something because its from your country, thats not what I am saying. You like things that are successful and when they globally recognized as prestigious its even more significant. And CDPR was founded and created by Polish people within Poland So it should be okay for you to be proud of it because you Polish, thats normal I would say for most people? Thats why Obama was given a copy of Witcher 2 by the Polish PM in 2011 https://www.gamespot.com/articles/obama-mentions-the-witcher-during-trip-to-poland/1100-6420055/

I wonder if Vals is not Comrade alt account ?

Typical Russian logic, faced with a highly transmissible airborne disease put everyone in the same confined space This is the " advantage " of living in a autocratic state for leadership. They dont have to worry about media or citizen backlash because you just arrest people who complain

The last time I heard from him he got angry because we were talking about SJW influence in the gaming thread, I would be surprised if he left because of that minor debate?

Wormie it must be nice to be Polish and have such a prestigious and famous company created by your countrymen ? Even if someone doesnt like the Witcher series, hard to believe but it has its detractors, CDPR created GOG and I dont think I have ever met anyone who doesnt like GOG? SA doesnt have any famous gaming companies, its not our strong point at all

Thanks for responding, I disagree with most of what you said but I respect the art of debate and how we often have different opinions on things

Here is the official CDPR strategic update

Indeed, here is an infographic about this. Exciting time to be a gamer

CDPR needs to commit to another trilogy of Witcher games, gaming companies should always stick to games that are guaranteed cash cows 💰

Dont mistake those Americans who are part of culture wars and groups like Qanon as representing everyone from that generation, they not. They extremists and not everyone is an extremist

Thats an objective video and he explains his opinion nicely on who is responsible for the pipeline sabotage in a convincing way. He raises valid concerns that Russia will more than likely target EU infrastructure as a way to try to influence EU support for Ukraine

Well the occupation and initial Russian military successes were about many towns and regions. Also I doubt there is an official Russian military communication that said " kill and torture civilians " So I thought it was more isolated and not occuring in every town?
