I was almost utterly shocked when you mentioned you havent played the Witcher series but then I remembered you suffer from vertigo or sometimes similar so you cant play these games and enjoy them? I didnt read the books either but in the games I remember she has certain inherent powers that are about her interesting origin. Shes an amazing character and I enjoyed being able to play her for a while in W3, you get to play her quest and you learn about her But maybe someone else can confirm about her force shield but I do remember she has abilities like Geralt but different ?

Hurlshot thanks for being honest about why you support this latest attempt to create additional revenue for the Biden presidency and the normal way the Democrats spend large amounts of money like the various bills like infrastructure I need to ask you some questions because I need to understand why people who arent going to be affected personally if this becomes as problematic as Dark suggested support this initiative. Dark raises real additional problem that I never considered because I have concerns about this entire new tax I know you are not an economist but you do seem to be supporting the idea which translates to most Americans will also be fine with it because it seems to only about the targeting of billionaires which I assume is why most people aren't too concerned because most billionaires Im sure can afford it. Is that why you do support it despite the risk because lets be honest not many people feel for billionaires and I get that even if I say this tax I feel is unique in the world and that should concern all of us some levels ? But are you not concerned that this tax can be used to now tax people who are not billionaires ? And I can absolutely see the likes of Warren and Sanders being fine with that. For example their are lots of people in the US who are not billionaires but they have hundreds of millions of dollars of accumulated wealth and have multiple properties so why not target them? They can afford it And finally you mention a reality that their are Americans who cannot afford a home loan and this initiative can be justified but how would this hybrid tax change their reality? Because government gains the tax revenue and how does this change the problem of any loan being approved which normally get denied because its calculated the applicant cannot the actual payments ?

He is more famous than I realised , I think I played one RE game so I am not someone who has deep experience in that gaming world but I do know how influential that series was in the horror, action genre Then Evil 2 should be an incredible game ....I assume you use controller ?

Nice review, I have this game on Steam and the last time I played it was 25 March 2019 and I got as far as exploring the house and quit for some reason. I think the controls werent working as expected but I must give it another go because its rated as a true horror and the Japanese developer is famous so it is a good game for horror 🎃 And I played other games like it since then and I enjoyed them

To be fair this is reasonable concern but its not liberals who would make these arguments Because the reality of the dichotomy in the USA is its not either normal liberals or conservatives that are responsible because of course you can have different views on SJ topics or policies and still agree on things If I had to summarize what is the cause is the reality of some people who decided to make assumptions about what it means if you believe one side or another and then your opinion doesnt matter anymore because " the other side is automatically wrong " And the whole point of debate is not about making any assumptions of someone else's views. Because that is not a debate but rather what a monologue is

Nice and of course Russia would have the best recipe for stroganoff ....the country of origin should be the best I feel like making that for dinner this week, its easy to make and I appreciate any recipe that is not strict but allows versatility which still works. I often use this website for excellent recipes and ideas and you see how many stroganoff recipes are possible https://www.allrecipes.com/recipes/17123/main-dish/beef/beef-stroganoff/

No doubt the best trailer I have seen this year and because I loved the first season this is just additional confirmation of what is coming ....we are so fortunate with such great series available

How did you find Estonia, did your in-laws take you to any " famous " and cultural places that would be considered significant to their history. In SA you always arrange some interesting event for first time visitors who would not know about SA so its more about a interesting but fun way of showing any visitor something that they didnt know about. But people are all different when it comes to their countries and I have no idea how people from the Baltic states normally would be comfortable with this type of highlighting of things that matter to them? Well done for not being honest about that tasteless sauce because the truth can offend people especially if they are use to something being perfect as it is. I have learnt about sometimes how some food from other countries is loved by local people and I will always try recommendation. But I eat most food with pepper and extra heat and I always can have a hot sauce but I have created my own issue and expectation where I must have my food hot to generally appreciate it and I fine with that because a chilli eater will generally need to eat hot food to appreciate taste But I sometimes stop eating most hot sauces for 2 weeks or so and then I can eat most normal food without feeling it needs to make it taste " normal ". So what I always do when I order unusual food is ensure their is pepper in case the issue is it has no taste and then I have add pepper but I dont want to offend anyone who may think this is a reflection on their recommended dish. And you can add pepper without anyone noticing

Tomorrow is a public holiday in SA because its our official municipal election day, yay for any public holidays

I know this video is more light lighted but their response to eating Surströmming is exactly why they shouldnt be reviewing this type of food Because its well known that the smell is horrendous but the odour is because its exactly what famenting fish would smell like after 6 months of being in a can, here is the scientific reason it smells so bad The fermentation happens through autolysis and starts from a lactic acid enzyme in the spine of the fish. Together with bacteria, pungent smelling acids are formed, such as propionic acid, butyric acid and acetic acid. Hydrogen sulfide is also produced. The salt raises the osmotic pressure of the brine above the zone where bacteria responsible for rotting can thrive and prevents decomposition of proteins into oligopeptides and amino acids.[citation needed] Instead, the osmotic conditions enable Halanaerobium bacteria to thrive and decompose the fish glycogen into organic acids, making it sour (acidic).[7] But the taste is not going to be like the smell, its like not eating a very strong blue cheese ....you would be denying yourself the experience based on a spurious sense of how we normally rate food

The secret to enjoying this type of meal is to always assume the chefs understand flavor and how the ingredients work together because often the meal may appear to not be normal to what we would cook or order And remember how much you enjoyed ordering unusual food in Mexico?

I am glad you were joking about not recognising that fine dining and the local interpretation of food exists in all EU countries and is driven by dedicated local chefs. But its more common in countries like France, Germany and Austria But food like Surströmming is more a local speciality and not all Nordic people eat it but I would definitely try it but that to me is not an example of Nordic fine dining. Its the same as German sausages or UK fish and chips And I also never know when you joking or being serious because you have even accused me a being a fascist ....but I assume you joking

You definitely not alone it that view, I am just surprised that you thought your observation would be unique or somehow unreasonable ....is it because you have only been noticing how most liberals ostensibly have no issue with left wing propaganda and hyperbole on SM and we only seem to see the banning of what some people on the right say ? Just get my opinion in future, I will respond on actual overall usage outcomes and I dont consider myself left or right but more in the middle so you always trust me to be objective ....well thats how I see myself The moment FB accepted responsibility to somehow monitor and reduce " toxic usage " it created the impossible objective of being consistent with what anyone on the left or right says that others would consider inaccurate. And I have been very hurt and offended by what some people have said about " whiteness " and topics like critical race theory Because Kanie you know white people have feelings to and no ones wants revisionist history or selective outrage about a so called "fact " that the US is an example of systemic racism ....and I dont agree with that at all. For example I dont think I have ever met one active forum member who is a racist? We had a member called WOD who identified with white nationalists and not white supremacist ideology and he was the closest to a racist but I dont consider him a normal racist like a kkk member And its not because I am sensitive to these topics in a knee jerk reaction sense its because I will only accept statements like this if they are based on the actual data and reality. SA and the Apartheid system is a clear example of systemic racism but the US is an example of people being racist And you cannot address bigotry like this by suggesting that the problem is systemic....it doesnt make sense and just alienates people who feel alienated by this type of generalization

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 "
