    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
  2. 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 ?
  3. 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 ?
  4. @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 ?
  5. This game looks good so far, I'll be following its development
  6. 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
  7. If I could fix your lack of interest in the Ubisoft client would you install it then ?
  8. 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
  9. 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 ?
  10. 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 📺
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. 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
  15. Lexx... stop being so naughty, that sounds like blatant " Bethesda Bashing " Dont be a hater
  16. Yes Arkane is Bethesda and I agree the narrative is very compelling and exciting as it unfolds
  17. Dont go, I enjoy your views. We can agree to disagree but I would rather hear what you have to say
  18. 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?
  19. 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
  20. 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
  21. 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/
  22. Its nice to game again after a break, when I was in transit between my move from JHB to CPT I didnt any gaming for 4 months and it was great to get back into it again ...it made me really appreciate it 💻
  23. Not really, its a large building and easily on some floors Hamas could have some operational facilities. That is what the Israelis are saying why it was targeted and I believe them
  24. Yes that is true, they assisted with lion hunting in packs and would disorientate the lion but didnt do the actually killing historically because a lion would normally kill a Rhodesian Ridgeback in a one on one fight but they are very good hunting dogs when trained or raised like that My dad has had 4 of these dogs in the last 25 years. Monty, Bentley, Wilson and Winston ( bet you cant guess what European country he identifies with ) and only Monty was a effective guard dog and protector ....but he really was a proper guard dog. That is Bentley in the photo and to be honest somehow the Jack Russell intimidates him So all the other dogs turned out to be very timid and quite prone to get nervous quickly...but they are lovely dogs and very affectionate🐶
  25. Apparently you not suppose to feed dogs food like cheese or chocolate ? At my dads house he has always only had 2 types of dogs, Jack Russells and Rhodesian Ridgebacks and the Jacks eat everything and anything ....despite being told we are not suppose to feed them snacks I can never say no to them because they so cute Here is a photo of 2 of the dogs in winter in their best spot to rest
