I agree, my friends didnt want to touch it. So I will try it next week and let you know

You mustn't let exaggerated wokeness put you off Bioware games Hoonding, dont allow yourself to be manipulated by right wing rhetoric. Bioware games are great fun

Gorthfuscious why do you hate freedom of speech, Democracies are built on it

I know people who lost there sense of smell for 12 months and others who recovered it after 2-3 weeks. And then some who never lost it at all. What an insidious disease around symptoms

You know you living in Africa when you can buy Crocodile Pate, I cant wait to try it

Fair enough, I do think state sponsored killings from Mossad, CIA or the FSB are different than hiring a hitman who is independent. But you right, the end result is the same

An overreaction and cowardly wanting to assassinate Bolton because he doesnt like the hardliners in Iran, do you know how many people dont like the current Iran regime and were happy Soleimani was killed ?

https://www.woodandfire.co.za/ I went with friends to this restaurant on Monday night in Pretoria. It was one of the best steak houses I have ever been to, the starters and mains were amazing and the red wine was flowing. I had Ox tongue for my starter which is photo 3 and then I had a BBQ game for my main which is photo 2. What a dining experience

The US needs to declare AI a terrorist organization and the people involved in the false and biased report arrested immediately, problem solved

You make a good point about Iraq but the wars are very different. As you know there were external sectarian groups killing each other, Iraq Sunni vs Iraq Shia and foreign fighters involved. Not everyone was just trying to kill US and its allies like the UK Putins War is much simpler, its about Russia vs Ukraine and the war crimes committed are almost always committed by Russian soldiers. The Ukrainians arent going to rape and kill there own civilians because its not Iraq

That was hilarious ...and it makes sense

Gorthfuscious please tell me you not saying what I think you saying, if the hotties have been banned then the Oz government is WORSE than Russia Juice Media forever

But many Russians dont trust there leaders and you can see this from the decline in voting numbers in Russia. Citizens give up on things like voting where a state starts sliding into autocracy and you cant influence any political change. Its always a good sign of lack of belief in leadership The US for example has always had about 45% of US citizens who never vote or arent registered. But if you look at the 2020 US elections more people voted than ever before so despite the left vs right culture wars rhetoric the people in the US that do vote did vote. So you see how voting turnout is a example of citizens who still believe you can see political change and do believe in there governments I know several Russians on Codex who dislike Putin and dont trust him at all but they live in Russia and they know there is nothing they can do to change the autocratic nature of the country. Putin definitely has his supporters in Russia and I would argue before the invasion of Ukraine it was probably 55-60% of the population but now it will be less. But end of the day we wont get accurate data from the country anyway so we only hear what Putin wants us to hear and what the state controlled media reports on

Do you consider Oz an example of a totalitarian\autocratic state similar to Russia or China because of Murdoch media ?

Nah, the FBI wouldnt have gone through with the raid if there wasnt something that can be used to prosecute Trump otherwise its a waste of time So it depends on if they found it, I think its something to do with the hundreds of classified documents Trump took from the WH after January 6 https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-took-classified-material-white-house-florida-national-archives-says-2022-02-18/

Wow what a surprise, Zora defending AI biased and inaccurate assessment of who is really responsible for the killings of civilians and targeting of civilian buildings. Do you know the Russians arent going to invade Ukraine, its just a training exercise Victim blaming is never nice to see Zora, try not to do it

Thats a good video and honest, the girls are cute. I love the Russian English accent They made me several me laugh several times with the " American conspiracy theory " and " owners going to end up in the Gulag " and " imagine having to cross out the name McDonalds on the sauce " Sad how many shops are empty, thats sanctions for you. In summary it doesnt look like much has changed with the new "Russian bootleg McDonalds " ...its still junk food that is eatable but its average like normal But good video about how normal Russians feel about the reality in Russia since Putins War started

Greenpeace? Why do you dislike them, is it because they criticize all the dolphins and whales that you Scandinavians love killing and eating ..Elerond thats guilt you feeling and its normal. It means you human

AI is sometimes inconsistent, they not as vociferous when Hamas fires rockets into Israel and anytime you target civilians that is a war crime. But at least they do acknowledge it when Hamas is involved in war crimes https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-32053999

What do you personally define as a collapsed economy? And its well known and accepted by most that the global inflation experienced by all countries is extremely concerning. Thats not something unique to the US

I played BT1 as part of the BT Trilogy about 18 months ago, I have yet to play 2&3 I enjoyed BT1, its definitely a CRPG and should be judged on that fairly. The combat is repetitive most of the time but I enjoyed the combat mechanics. And I was also grateful for the Automap, I have no appetite for making my own maps I am planning on tackling BG2 sometime in the future

https://edition.cnn.com/2022/08/04/economy/monthly-jobs-report-preview-july/index.html The US has added 530k jobs in July, double what analysts were predicting. It really doesnt look like the Western sanctions on Russia is going to destroy the US economy

I have some bad news, I am in JHB till the 11/12 August for work so I am not gaming till I get back to CPT. Which means my "Saga of the Sword Coast " chronicles will be paused till then On Thursday and my last BG1 session I did complete the Cloakwood Mines and found some very useful items, the narrative is also becoming clearer. The nefarious forces behind the scenes will soon be revealed I am now on my way to BG and I have loads of money so it should be eventful and rewarding. I also found some underground tunnels inhabited by Ankhegs and once I killed them I am getting some Ankheg armor made in Beregost for my 2 x fighters which are Khalid and Kivan...this armor should be very useful in future battles

https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/prey_2022 Prey has received mostly favorable reviews and Im glad. I always thought it was going to be excellent based on the trailer and the unique setting I also rejected the whole " its bad because its woke " card because we shouldnt assume every movie nowadays with a female character is an example of wokeness You can only comment on something like a movie objectively when you have watched it. I plan to watch it later this week

Yes I do agree that Taiwan does contribute importantly towards parts of the global economy like semiconductors
