Yeah, we all know how the Democrats can act when they have a congressional advantage....billionaires taxed today, " mom and pop stalls taxed tomorrow "

Its egregious and we all should be outraged, its just another attempt to tax people with resources and how do you know the value of basically any investment in the future. You cannot say with certainty so now you get taxed on some " projection of the value of an asset " like you said I really think all you guys in the US should be concerned with this, its illogical and unfair

Sure and if being infamous is your objective in life , not famous, then she has a claim to fame. Personally I only admire overall positive role models in RL and in history But Anita will always be remembered for all the unnecessary conflict and anxiety she helped contribute towards in the gaming industry. And because most of us arent sexual bigots we would only focus on her inaccurate generalizations of "white, male gamers " ....I would argue its normal to be aware of GG and to be annoyed by it for most gamers because as I mentioned we arent bigots ?

Mamie good point about Anita Sarkeesian and her time of influence and divisiveness. But she is an example of a misplaced and ultimately false SJ campaign that had real consequence but failed because not all white, male gamers are bigots and sexists

Im playing Quest for Glory 4, released in 1994, and after about 4 hours I started appreciating it and enjoying. This is a huge breakthrough for me because I only started " gaming properly " in 2007 or so and the first games I played were Morrowind and Gothic 3 so I became use to that level of graphics and gaming design And I have been battling to enjoy and play all the classic older RPG like Gold Box AD&D, Wizardry, Ultima and M&M But now I think I am close to enjoying those games because I dont just expect modern graphics and a game that is aesthetically pleasing ...I am using my imagination more and that is how most people enjoy these older games

As usual I find myself agreeing with my favorite Oz hottie She should run for the PM role in your government...she would get my vote

Comrade its been proven through the study of the human brain and peoples choices that most people make these choices because they enjoy them. So in other words the reason most of us game is because we enjoy it and again the the race card and sexist card plays no part in the reason unless you can present links that analytically show me " how most white gamers are sexist " ?

I realize you partly joking but their are people who studiously misunderstand this latest FB objective and create and feed conspiracy theories which are unhelpful and just add to all this hysteria and unnecessary " FB bashing " I like the idea of a metaverse in some ways of engaging, not with everything as nothing beats normal face to face and RL communication

Its linked to their objective of creating a metaverse and makes sense https://www.cnet.com/tech/computing/facebook-goes-meta-what-is-the-metaverse-and-why-is-big-tech-obsessed/ I also feel FB has been very unfairly treated in this latest round of whistleblower scandal ....its very selective and if you didnt know better you would think FB was trying to control the world and destroy all our family structures

This post sounds very SJWish and I a dont feel comfortable with what you suggesting Why would you be embarrassed by saying " Im a gamer ". Its incumbent on you to shatter the so called " gaming stereotypes " but by avoiding the topic or by lying about it you dont help anyone or improve the situation

You right, its so counterproductive and for many of us gamers you have an immediate sense of annoyance and I dont support the issue because it seems so cliched and staged....being a surreptitious right wing organization makes sense And I do visit Kotoku sometimes to read their articles its just these types of discussions I ignore

This is your classic Kotoku " lets make a big deal about some SJ issue in gaming even when there isnt an issue "

Normally the fact that you have never played F:NV would be unforgivable and the UN recently made this a crime against humanity but since you are now playing it all is forgiven I never understand how anyone could not love Bethesda games, they all great and make sure you use normal and adult mods with F:NV, use the Vortex Nexus Mod Manager if you not already using it

Unless it gets reviewed as terrible by multiple gaming websites and gamers on release I will definitely be playing this game, I Iove games set in the Vampire universe And when I mean terrible I dont mean due to bugs as those can be fixed like Cyb2077

Amentep Halloween dressing up is supposed to be about fun, you dont really want to terrify people

I love streaming services like Netflix, I dont view what's available for sometimes 10 days and then, like today, I noticed that the second season of Another Life is showing I am not a huge Sci-fi fan but I really enjoyed the first season so guess what I am watching tonight I am planning on watching Night Teeth this week, Im very excited

Absolutely, especially with Sheridans blitzkrieg of the Southern states and scorched earth policy. War should never be about targeting civilians https://militaryhistorynow.com/2015/02/02/sheridans-scorched-earth-campaign-the-union-armys-forgotten-war-crime/#:~:text=Sheridan’s Scorched Earth Campaign — The Union Army’s,of the Shenandoah Valley.

These words should be banned in the usage of legislation, not in common use, because you cant create laws or make any serious argument based on a biased, inaccurate " fake " work. Imagine passing a bill based on " whiteness" ? Have you ever researched how the study of "whiteness " was created and what its suppose to mean. Racism is a real word and form of bigotry and anyone can understand hate speech but this deluge of new words we see is not honest or helpful to meaningful debate

But on a serious historical note, the secession of the Southern states was illegal and as far as I know no state can legally leave the Union unless its agreed by the Federal government or is that even possible ? Of course I cant understand nowadays why you would want to leave the union but people do bring it up like Texas and recently when California wanted to leave after the Trump victory. I can only imagine Gromnir and Hurlshot being conscripted into the "new California army " to fight for Californian independence https://www.texastribune.org/2021/01/29/texas-secession/

You seem confused about history Malc, everyone knows the Civil War was actually the " War of Northern Aggression " !!!

I can agree with the banning of certain words like " woke" , "whiteness" and "white fragility" and others because they not real English words and have been literally created in the USA in the SJ arena But words like social justice and racial supremacy have meaning that are not about race baiting or selective views of a particular race

Comrade please explain to me something that always confuses me, what is the difference between a white person and lily white person? Should I refer to myself as a white person or a lily white person and this comes up sometimes in SA where socialists mischaracterize the ownership of businesses as " controlled by lily white people " ....so its part of the SA narrative and its so confusing And you wrong about what motivates trade and economic decisions, very few trade decisions are based on the race of the country. Trust me I know this because as you know I am a true believer and disciple of the Capitalist and free market system These decisions are made on the outcome of risk vs reward so in other words you trade with countries based on the positive outcome and factors like profitability and the necessity of things like resources. So for example we all buy commodities like oil and gold from numerous countries and in the example of oil it comes from the ME which as you know its arabs that live their not white people So the decision on all trade is about quantifiable metrics, policies and outcomes.The race card is not part of it. But good try again, I appreciate the effort

How you finding it, you not offended by the revisionist anti-liberal interpretation of history ?

That often happens to me and I have a large GOG list as well so I have many games that are part of the favorite genre, fantasy RPG yet I find myself undecided on what to play ...and its a little frustrating But I have found a way to generally address this , I will play any game from my list that is not a fantasy RPG like a Ubisoft game or an adventure game. So I just finished AC Odyssey and decided to play Disco Elysium which I enjoyed but stopped after 20 hours and I have decided to play Quest of Glory 4 ....which Im enjoying but also may stop But I now feel excited about the next game I will be playing from my Steam or GOG list which will definitely be a fantasy RPG and I am leaning towards Ultima 5 with Mods or something like Grim Dawn But in summary, play a game outside your normal comfort zone and you should start missing your normal gaming choices. Oh and I also find playing an MMO works and I start missing single player fantasy

It looks good, I never completed this game so I will buy this
