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

QFT

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

@Gromnir WSJ is a credible source of objective information in most cases, it would be imprudent to ignore their pithy and erudite words

https://www.cnet.com/news/twitter-is-banned-in-nigeria-after-it-removes-presidents-tweet/ Guys here is a real example of the damage and problems created expecting SM companies to remove what they deem is hate speech and to somehow understand context of certain comments....you cant expect SM companies to do this effectively , people must take their own responsibility for what they say and stop asking for other people to police our comments The president of Nigeria was banned from Twitter for saying inarticulately , but truthfully, that secession of a particular state wont be allowed. Its a historical and unreasonable secessionist request and it wont be allowed So he was direct but he shouldnt have been banned ?

Kanie you said you have interest in WW2 shows and it seems like you really know a lot about certain military subjects. Have you also done military service or do you have another connection to the military generally?

What about 'Thin Red Line ', its about the Pacific conflict with the Japanese ?

I must say Gorthfuscious now that I understand the context this is really funny and appropriate when it comes to the rhetoric of anti-immigration parties

Nah, you will never have a truly dominant superpower from any government that controls information and its media and doesnt understand the importance of basic human rights China will always have a part to play in the world, especially around production and its exports but it wont become the dominant superpower in the world. So no need to learn Mandarin unless you are Australian....and @Gorthhas already started on this so I dont think Australian citizens mind too much?

I am very happy with this new game world from PB, I would normally prefer a fantasy setting only but I think they have done a good job of creating an entertaining fantasy\sci-fi hybrid Without repeating myself, I want to recognize their well balanced overall game design and sandbox implementation For example, I decided to join the Berserkers and one of their quests was a report on the other cities like The Fort and The Domed City. This forced me to travel initially on foot mostly, teleporters need to be discovered, on this long, dangerous and exciting journey to these cities. I had to avoid certain enemies and sometimes I made my own path until I reached the cities and the teleporters for future use When you say " rough start " what do you mean by that in your own gaming experience ?

Okay I see the funny part, its linked to the anti-immigration party and the fact the camel is called Ali and the understandable concern is immigrants from the ME That is funny, I get it now

I am not sure what is so funny about this particular story but people in the Danish parliament sure found it funny? So an elephant has got an emotional\physical connection with a camel and had to be included in the animal transfer Okay that makes sense, good news story.....just not funny

Sunday, winter weather and only one proven, scientific remedy for such temporary but melancholic times....a Sunday roast So Im cooking mini-Pork belly with buttery, creamy mash ...for a change

https://www.aol.com/normandy-veterans-gather-mark-77th-094235642.html Guys hugely important day today, the remembrance of D-Day, 77 years ago Their is a new memorial that has been opened today in France as another reminder of the important and noble sacrifice of those who never survived this battle, well done to the allies and eventual victory against the Nazi's and other forms of autocracy and dictatorship that existed at the time Its a good time to watch the superlative " Saving Private Ryan " again

Im 40 hours into ELEX and absolutely loving it, it has a better "sandbox" enemy level and exploration design than Morrowind. What I mean by that is in ELEX their are several deadly enemies who randomly exist on the map and you cannot possibly defeat them at my level 10. So you use subterfuge and exploit the brilliant AI to get the monster, in one example I was facing a slugbeast at level 7, to follow you and I led the foul beast to the Berserker camp where their elite fighters were able to defeat it...on the way to the camp the slugbeasts aggro made several low level cultivators and guards foolishly throw their lives away by attacking it, it was hilarious seeing them get slaughtered in some pointless attack Anyway I now have a follower and an energy sword so I use my follower to attract enemies and I attack from the side or back...its effective and works in much combat with higher level enemies In Morrowind I got to the level where nothing could defeat me, it was fun but the ELEX design is better because you can easily be defeated by enemies and very difficult enemies you encounter as you explore the map and solve a myriad of quests for different factions and around the main quest

Yes but who pays for the employment net and other wide ranging socialist and liberal "panaceas " for all the woes in the world? In SA their are some in government who want to implement a deeply flawed NHI ( National Health Insurance ) so everyone has access to the working private sector healthcare that only 20 % of the population has access to with the mandatory medical aid we pay So they expect 80% of the population to somehow access these limited resources but they ignore the obvious solution " fix the public sector healthcare " so 80 % of the population has the services they are entitled to And the whole of government is automatically on private sector healthcare they dont have to use the public sector The point being some in government are expecting the 20 % to pay for this ill-conceived idea of NHI instead of addressing the problem on the ground

Its good news that the CCP wants to changes the current trajectory of its image, it is its own worse enemy as mentioned in the article around its belligerent and controversial actions in several examples They need to work primarily on the quote below He said the country should be "open and confident, but also modest and humble" in its communication with the world. Im not sure the CCP understands what that really means, the words are real but its the implementation that concerns me

Its officially winter in SA and we have several cold spells that have led to snow falling in some parts of the country Its cold and dark in CPT now and especially in the morning when I go for my walk, so I leave at about 7:30 am and that means I see the sunrise during the early stages of my walk

Great post and lots of pertinent information for those looking for a review of GW2 from an active player, nice one I will give it a try, I will let you know when I do

Well they have 7 days or so to confirm the new political alliance that should unseat Netanyahu but what a strange alliance it is. Bennet has demonstrated more right wing and extremist comments that Netanyahu ever did but yes they have one thing in common....they want him gone
