  1. Thats a very good idea and thoughtful, Gromnir can move into your daughters room since thats available? Since you have decided you arent going to let illegal immigrants move in it makes sense and I know he has money so its not like he cant pay rent and help with expenses ?
  2. Greatest Toyota commercial ever, well done Australia
  3. Im about 20 hours into Disco Elysium and its been a fun experience so far....not great but fun I am appreciating the parody and metaphorical SJ themes and it is humorous. But its not a RPG or action game so I am finding it a little boring. I like adventure games but I like fantasy adventure games, like KQ and HQ, so maybe that is why I am getting a little bored ?
  4. Melkie, Melkie, Melkie...you dont understand Shiny loot lets you buy nice things and you can impressive hot women....surly that matters. Isnt the gratuitous killing justified in the interests of love, dont we all want to find true love
  5. Taiwan is a successful and well run economy and they do produce certain important products so yes this impact if they invaded and ruined by China, like HK, needs to be considered
  6. Of course the US wont go to war with China over Taiwan , this is an absurd suggestion We care about the sovereignty of Taiwan but not that much to risk a real war that would have a hugely negative impact to the importance and sustainability of globalisation that both the US and China are part of. But their will be additional criticism and economic sanctions against China and the CCP will continue to be seen as a problematic member of the international community Where you would see a possibility of Western military intervention is if China invaded Australia or something similar but thats not going to happen because despite all the recalcitrance from the CCP they seem to stick to undermining Democracies and " independant " regions within their own territory that they feel are historically theirs like Tibet, HK and Taiwan
  7. Good post, you raise important considerations I just would hate to see East European gaming companies believing "woke " components are more relevant than a game that is fun and compelling based on normal and expected fantasy RPG components
  8. In SA we have a new law that allows 12-17 young people to get a vaccine without their parents consent https://www.thesouthafrican.com/lifestyle/health-fitness/breaking-children-teenagers-12-17-age-group-vaccinated-vaccination-south-africa-when-consent-pfizer-risks-side-effects-latest-news/ I support vaccines but I have an issue where any government decides it knows whats best for any family when it comes to these types of decisions Its the same reason I understand parents objecting to anything like Critical Race Theory being taught at schools to their kids
  9. One of my nieces is 13 and attends an excellent public sector school. In the province they live they just had a Maths Challenge where schools let the best Math kids compete in tests. Their were initially 2500 kids who competed in a test and then the top 400 competed in another round And out of this 400 they awarded and recognised the top 100. 10 got gold, 20 got silver and the rest go bronze. My niece got bronze and we very proud of her, do you think this is wrong and all 2500 kids should have got bronze medals? How does this help anyone when our societies no longer want to recognize gifted kids or excellence when it comes to different subjects and skills?
  10. Mamie I watched the video again and I have some concerns. Part of the video mentions " thinking about him make you see him as more than an attacker "...that sounds dangerously like SJW corrupted ideology under the facade of " empathy " I also get very worried when any East European countries, that produce excellent games I enjoy like Witcher and Inquisitor , start trying to integrate this type of thinking into their games. Its not your strong point and its not what you famous for We already have enough abominations and mutations of certain games from our friends in the USA where suddenly " a hot women in bikini chainmail armor " is sexist or something similar The last thing we want from East European gaming companies is where " we have to consider the historical injustice and colonialism the Vampire faced " that explains why it has created an army of undead from the living
  11. Mamie I am going to financially support this game because I am impressed with the overall quality of East European games and the commitment to gaming from East European gamers We must never forget who our friends are in life
  12. Nothing is sacred anymore Hoonding....I agree What are we going to do, I think the best thing is to complain on some gaming forum but watch the series anyway because we dont want to make a real stand about this and boycott this show
  13. https://www.thedrinksbusiness.com/2021/10/furious-diner-left-stunned-by-37000-bill-at-salt-baes-new-london-restaurant/ Imagine having the money to spend about $51K on a meal.....a single meal for 4 people ( and it doesnt matter they are complaining. They still ordered it ) Now that is outrageous and an example of ostentatious and egregious consumption
  14. I thought you were opposed to the death penalty ?
  15. Latest update and great as usual, I like the idea of abandoned buildings becoming faction aligned and I think the Mario influence explains why movement is so much fun in this franchise
  16. Stick to PC gaming, its the superior overall choice to consoles
  17. Yes same as me, the " beautiful people " got more attention at school and everyone hung on the words of the rugby and other sports captains in assembly But thats the reality of early life and its temporary and more because of " school culture ". Its okay because things can work out differently when it comes to life outside of school and we not defined necessarily by our failures or successes at school
  18. Gorthfuscious !!! I cant believe you are openly talking about how you rejected " being a clever kid " !!! And you not embarrassed by rejecting your privlidege, you anarchists ...what are our societies going to do with you
  19. I think you are misunderstanding me because maybe you have had his debate with others and you are sensitive to what you think I am saying? I am not saying " only some kids can or should succeed in life ". School is a foundation and what you learn and believe at school has a huge impact to your life choices and journey afterwards But life is about different strengths and different skills that some people are good at and some people simply arent. And some people arent prepared to work hard or make the right choices So why create school environments where we dont like to recognize or incentivize brilliant, hard working or gifted students ? Life is not about guaranteed equality and you cant legislate this reality away
  20. Austrian\German food is overall better than the Nordic countries because of the vast range from authentic German fine dining like rabbit to pigeon to incredible pork dishes to normal delicious food like sausages, eisbein and normal meat dishes. Do you know Germany " boasts 10 three-Michelin-star restaurants, as many as Italy and more than the UK and Scandinavia combined " , taken from the article below. But Austrian cuisine is also very advanced and popular, I have eaten more Austrian food than German because of our family skiing holidays https://www.elitetraveler.com/features/best-restaurants-in-germany But the Nordic countries are making huge progress and they have some unique food I have never eaten like cloud berries, fudge cheese and reindeer and other game specific to the region
  21. @Azdeus and @Pidesco I just watched an excellent episode on Swedish food and specifically food in Stockholm. Its on Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmerman and it highlighted some delicious and at times unusual Swedish food but I would definitely try it all https://www.travelchannel.com/shows/bizarre-foods/episodes/stockholm Unusual food like Reindeer testicles that look great when they served because they looked like thick slices of salami and they can be deep-fried
  22. I hear you, let me add the normal wings at Hooters have bones and I order both but I agree their is something more authentic with wings with bones plus the bones add flavor when they get cooked 8-10 is the normal starter amount but thats not a main meal wings portion surly unless your wings are bigger? I normally order 16 wings at a time
  23. I love wings as you know, many did you order and how many do you normally or can eat ? I can eat a lot, easily 20-30 over an hour or so with a few alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages. And its even easier to eat lots in a festive sports bar or place like Hooters which makes some of the BEST boneless wings with the hottest sauce available called 911 and a blue cheese dip ....nothing better
  24. I hope you sent it back or complained, if you accept that kind of tardy cooking then you end up just unintentionally continuing it because often restaurants dont do this on purpose
