The first time I watched a trailer on this game I was very impressed and definitely planned to invest in it .....I am now even more committed. It wont be a " day 1 " purchase because I just want others to play it first to ensure its not some sort of vaporware or riddled with bugs

You correct to raise the egregious abuse of the words " concentration camps" when comparing them to ICE detention centers. They not the same and we should reject this type of populism and hyperbole and not ever refer to them like that I hear the same thing in SA where some activists suggest legitimate and legal Refugee camps we should have in SA are akin to " death camps " and " concentration camps " ....its insulting to compare what a concentration camp really is, and the millions of people who have globally and historically died in them, to detention centers that you see in places like US and other countries

Interestingly enough even your point is relevant to overall combat I always make decisions in games like this after long and deep contemplation and rumination around the ideological reason to join any faction. My decision is always about the narrative and who I can identify with after understanding what they represent Things like advanced lazer power wouldnt be a reason for me, just a benefit around a particular faction

Good post and I agree with you about the risk vs reward of property investments, my family do loads of this type of wealth generation and its normally a safe type of long term investment. Note I am not saying short term investment You have done your research and identified a real risk, with the increase in property prices its not worth it at the moment because if you unintentionally price yourself out the local and targeted market then you wont make much money. You may even lose money so waiting maybe 24 months is prudent

You and Gromnir need to get a room and end all this.....tension

But we must be honest and specific, " Freedom welcomes all who arrive with papers "

Makes sense, its a good reason to align with the Clerics

Great topic around ELEX and the various factions you can join and why. Worthy of further explanation I joined the Berserkers because they gave me my first opportunity to be welcomed and survive in the harsh world. I like their views on the planet, I like the idea of using magic but I dont like their rejection of technology ....this needs to change if the world is going to be saved but that can come later I also like the Clerics because they believe in law and order and they understand the importance of technology. I dont like their strict interpretation of dogma which is why I didnt initially join them The Outlaws have a purpose but they must accept the rule of law and order or they will never be able to govern in a sustainable way. I found their political views to be problematic and inconsistent with any reasonable and necessary government policy so I could never join them And then the Albs are an abomination, corrupted by ELEX and far too dictatorial. I support the Alb separatists but any Albs loyal to the Hybrid must be annihilated...their is no place for their ideology in the new world

Its a reasonable decision and definitely one legitimate way to address the burden of illegal and unrestrained immigration we see throughout the world Governments can make deals with countries like Rwanda so that they can process asylum seekers, Rwanda is a very safe country and is one of the best run African countries on the continent, its one of the African countries I have worked in and it has an excellent investor environment. Yes they have some issues around the autocratic tendencies of their government and specifically their president Paul Kagame but this is a minor issue at the moment and no valid reason Rwanda cant be used to relocate immigrants so dont feel guilty Gorthfucious about Denmark's decision Also their are plenty of African refugee camps throughout Africa already established that house millions of African refugees so this is not something new or something that is unusual http://www.africaranking.com/biggest-refugee-camps-in-africa/

I have always appreciated your stance on human rights and specifically LGBT rights . We may not always agree on topics like economic policy and immigration but I have never questioned your integrity, value system or that you mean well Also I wanted to add I think its great that your daughter has parents like you and your wife because she will grow up in an environment where she will be loved and raised without any discrimination about something that she cannot change because she was born a certain way. Homophobia is an insidious and also a blatant form of bigotry and unfortunately its one of the only forms of bigotry that some countries are passing new or resurrecting Colonial laws, in the case of certain African countries, to discriminate and criminalize LGBT So we should never underestimate the reality of this type of bigotry I just want to add that sometimes people do indeed hide behind religion to spread hate speech and they pander to their own insecurities about other people who are just different But sometimes religious people are not true bigots but they are trying to be good Christians when it comes to the Bible. For example in SA through the years I have heard callers sometimes phone in on talk-shows and honestly make comments like " I dont dislike the gay people but scripture tells me its wrong so I cannot support it " That is different to some of the real hate speech we sometimes encounter from people justifying their bigotry by hiding behind scripture

It was both disgraceful and criminal behavior slapping a president in the face, they need to be harsh and ensure jail time

You make some good points here and I know this is a contentious point and just to be clear I personally support same sex marriage But you can achieve the same objective without trying to change the definition of marriage and how different religions incorrectly think marriage is sacrosanct to them, when its not because people were getting married from about 4000 years ago which is longer than most of our established religions have existed https://theweek.com/articles/528746/origins-marriage#:~:text=The first recorded evidence of marriage ceremonies uniting,little to do with love or with religion. Sometimes people misunderstand the definition of marriage, I dont like to think its because they homophobic because sometimes its really because of their interpretation of scripture

That is why we must continue to debate these topics without making assumptions or generalizations , no they dont need to wave the LGBT flag and we dont all need to " bend the knee " in support of BLM unless we want to and we have our own reasons This doesnt make you a racist or homophobic, other people are perfectly entitled to their opinions on these matters. But people, for example, who support LGBT have different views on this and thats okay

Not in my definition of being homophobic, you dont need to wave a LGBT flag or even say in public " I have friends in the LGBT community. You can even object to things like gay marriage for religious reasons. That doesnt make you homophobic because the law and Constitution decides this for us in most of our countries Its what you say in public and how you act in public towards LGBT that matters, so for example if you go to the local pub and you having drinks with friends and you see a gay couple walk in to the bar....how will you react and what will you do ? Will you walk up to them and start insulting them because they gay....thats real homophobia

I dont know, it was hard to see exactly what its about or to understand the RPG design mechanics . I am going to do some proper research later when I am done with work for the day

Dont joke but I am still irritated he couldn't finish the books, yes I understand he took time off for the exceptional HBO series but he has a commitment to fans to deliver on the books and he needs to respect that

Yeah, Im a little confused by that one but Wormie what do you think of Elden Ring? George R R Martin is part of it so it must be good https://en.bandainamcoent.eu/elden-ring/elden-ring

https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/e3-/ Some good games to be announced at E3 2021, I am interested in the new RPG Sci-FI from Bethesda and additional news about DA4

He openly has admitted he has no idea why people listen to him. But he has said some hilarious things, see the link below https://stillnessinthestorm.com/2021/05/bill-maher-admits-the-left-sucks-the-fun-out-of-everything/

Good to know, I will throw some questions at you if you dont mind in the future. Just to get your opinion and share mine? Mostly the ME and similar conflicts so its your area of study

GD well done for seeing past the blatant and outrageous anti-English propaganda in movies like Braveheart Its fun and entertaining but not accurate and these types of movies always paint the British in this really bad light and some of it is not historically correct

I agree, movies about war and battles must be accurate where reasonable. But they must be correct most of the time and these small things annoy me as well

What didnt you enjoy about it ?

Elerond !!! Why do you hate the free media, it sounds like suggesting you admire the way the CCP handles their " free media " .... the WSJ is a credible and legitimate part of the global free media Opinion pieces are just that but it doesnt change the importance and veracity of the WSJ articles
