  1. They can be used to quell and subdue violent BLM\Antifa protests....you never know when you may get overrun !!!
  2. I have never been convinced of arguments that countries like the USA are to blame for wars because US companies sell weapons to countries like Saudi Arabia or Israel The global arms trade exists because governments want weapons, if the US wasnt selling weapons to Israel dont you think many other countries would be more than happy to sell them weapons? Russia, China, France or the UK would happily sell them what they wanted You cant blame the company or country selling the weapons ....we should blame the people who want the weapons. Its the same as the war on drugs, it can never be won when their is demand
  3. I must say I enjoyed that review, sure the guy is not a long term gaming review professional but he makes some honest and convincing observations I particularly found it interesting with the negative impact the pandemic had on development and how that would have eroded Q&A, I completely understand this as a real factor to some of the issues around the games release but then they should have announced this publicly and delayed the release for understandable reasons.....no point telling fans afterwards once the anger and frustration has been created by real subpar release issues I liked how shocked he seemed by the " bullying " statement ...." gosh that sounds serious " But the game is really improving and its future is looking good so well done CDPR !!
  4. Geez.....50 GB is too much for you, what games do you play? MMO can easily utilize more than 50 GB I am happy with the specs required for the new ME trilogy and if I hadnt played the entire series I would invest in it. But I enjoyed the ME series, I didnt love it so its not worth the investment

    Look at you, you little Nietzsche fanboy. Im impressed, I didnt think you cared or understood much about white, Capitalist literature but with you quoting it you have just proven me wrong. You see I do admit when Im wrong
  6. I would say it can be both as its political in some countries without freedom of speech but its philosophical in Democracies with freedom of speech ?
  7. Yes I can understand that view around preventative steps around stricter border control , personally I would support it until the pandemic is reasonably contained globally despite it ostensibly being draconian I agree with the possible Kiwi inbreeding option but then you will have change your current legislation to allow for the rights of sheep to be recognized as family members and partners....and this is something you guys outlawed years ago as I know ? Oh and as far as the latest India rules are concerned do you support this considering the reality of the virus running rampant in India ?
  8. @Gorth https://ewn.co.za/2021/05/18/experts-warn-shuttered-australia-is-becoming-a-hermit-nation Is this accurate, I find it hard to believe that Oz strict lockdown measures are tantamount to the country becoming a " hermit state ". NK is a hermit state and once the virus is globally contained its not like Oz wont relax its current travel and border regulations ?
  9. This game looks good so far, I'll be following its development
  10. Serves you right for being nasty to Bioware fans who like to discuss important issues like what the sweat on Dragon Age characters might taste like
  11. If I could fix your lack of interest in the Ubisoft client would you install it then ?
  12. Yeah I agree, I have no concerns with Microsoft unintentionally diluting the overall gaming experience by taking over such prestigious companies as Bethesda, if anything the gaming experience should get better as more resources can be thrown at effective development Microsoft has a long history in gaming and they have learnt from their mistakes around things like their historical views about being a monopoly. I have mentioned this before but I use to work for Microsoft and its an excellent company that is very credible
  13. What is the reason you dont want an Ubisoft login, I only use it when I play their games and I have found it works fine and be unintrusive ?
  14. Watching as usual some great shows like a Penny Dreadful again, Your Honor, Clarice ( spinoff of Silence of the Lambs), Twilight Zone, FBI and Law & Order SVU Lots to keep me entertained
  15. I have to be honest out all the reasons to not play a game as brilliant and captivating as RDR2 3rd party account requirements would be my absolute last reason As mentioned by others just create a spare email account that you never have to check or use unless its for password reset purposes and play RDR2....its the best game ever released by Rockstar and well worth it
  16. I enjoyed the interview but it was much of the same with all accusations levelled towards Russia and their interference in countries, he denied it obviously and playing the " Snowden and Prism did it " card is old but reliable Asking a question like " did you do it " and expecting any answer apart from " no we didnt " just seems a waste of time. Russia did do it and their is always a digital footprint when it comes to any state sponsored hacking that points irrefutably at the country involved like Stuxnet was created by the Israelis But I will agree with a point you have raised in the past, you can at least understand and reason with the Russians compared to the CCP. Its easier to understand and address the Russian objectives compared to what the CCP thinks around certain developments related to their global policies and hegemony
  17. In SA we have a huge inconsistency with our interpretation and practice of the virus spread preventative steps , some places still test for temperatures when you walk in despite it being globally known that asymptomatic people dont have an elevated temperature. But in all shops and businesses its mandatory to wear a mask, not when you sitting in a restaurant, but I dont personally ask people to wear masks. I have asked management to tell people to put on their masks because the worst way to convince a mask denialist to wear a mask in SA would be say something like " do you think you are entitled " ....people dont really seem to respond well to that argument or wouldnt understand it
  18. Of course, remember finding out who killed the Empress and why , the purpose of the Outsider, the daughter reclaiming her throne and similar exciting parts of the narrative. Everyone knows that my son
  19. Lexx... stop being so naughty, that sounds like blatant " Bethesda Bashing " Dont be a hater
  20. Yes Arkane is Bethesda and I agree the narrative is very compelling and exciting as it unfolds
  21. Dont go, I enjoy your views. We can agree to disagree but I would rather hear what you have to say
  22. Hurlshot as a teacher would you use the N word if you were reading a story from Mark Twain? I dont mean would you repeat the word but would you say it out loud as part of the actual story you reading?
  23. Yes I tend to agree, I refer to it as pure Capitalism which ended after 2008. Nowadays as much as we know the principles of the free market work and are sustainable you must have regulation and reasonable oversight from governments in all countries around the private sector But the early centauries of man were very unequal and the indigent and people not born of the upper class lived in terrible conditions in many countries
  24. Nah, its not tired or banal if the references to failed socialist experiments like Zimbabwe or Venezuela are valid because you still have people who espouse " socialism " as a better way forward for most of our economies. So when you can never give any examples of countries where this has worked its important we remember the failures. And I consider the Nordic countries as hugely successful but they hybrid models of socialism and Capitalism and did not do what Chavez, Maduro or Mugabe did. For example Norway's state controlled oil company that has created their very successful sovereign fund is an example of a way forward but the global track record for these types of state controlled entities is littered with failures due to corruption and mismanagement. Nigeria, Angola, Venezuela and Brazil are testimony to that I have no issue with extremely wealthy people. If the 1 % gained their wealth through legal and legitimate means and contribute fairly through legal expectations like taxes that should not be an issue for anyone. But in the USA you do seem to have real examples of very wealthy people not paying their fair share of taxes and thats not right
  25. I am still playing Morrowind and I am loving it, I played this game in 2008 the first time but this time I am using Mods and playing it with more RPG experience in these types of games I am currently on the Third Trial of the Nerevarine Prophecies. I dont understand the criticism towards Elder Scroll games that all quests are shallow and lack quality writing. Yes their are some simple side quests like " deliver shirts to merchant " or " kill brigand " but the entire primary quest around Dagoth Ur and the prophecies is engrossing and deep Also the lore contained in the hundreds of books is very interesting if you enjoy understanding the history in any gaming world The combat could be better but I think the level and skill advancement is a good way of progressing, the more you train in certain skills the better you get so you are encouraged to explore and utilize skills . The magic system offers a myriad of different and exciting types of choices like Enchanting and Conjuration so no complaints their And I appreciate and enjoy how the economy works and how you always need to find money to sustain your adventurous pursuits like buying spells, upgrades to weapons and potions And then their is the size of the game world and how you can just explore anywhere and anything and find new things like crypts, tombs and random NPCS that you can interact with . This is true Sandbox, here is a map of the gaming world just to illustrate this point. Note this map is like Google Maps and you can scroll down to specific features http://mwmap.uesp.net/
