I meant to add I am also watching The Order, its very entertaining and has some interesting themes

https://www.callofsaregnar.com/ Great vision statement from the Devs

Here is some really good motivational words, some of them most of us will have heard before but its nice to see them all together

I think it looks good, it has potential and has some RPG mechanics I am not familiar with but they look interesting like the grid based combat system

Okay just so you dont keep brining this up to the end of days. I was wrong to think Serbia is part of EU, thank you for correcting me. But Zora I need to share something with you that is initially going to upset and confuse you, I am not perfect. I do make mistakes and even I am not always right. That is why I rely on you and others to inform me when I am occasionally mistaken I will read your link and comment later, I am just busy gaming at the moment and preparing my breakfast

https://www.heritage.org/civil-society/commentary/how-leftists-critical-race-theory-poisons-our-discussion-racism Guys I read this article and found it very interesting and appropriate IMO on certain points raised I would like other peoples opinions. Please ignore the fact its from the Heritage Foundation if that is a problem for you. Just focus on what the author says and if you disagree or agree with the content and message For example I dont agree with the framing of these debates as " leftists vs right" but I also tend to do that because its just easier to explain collectively the 2 sides even if its more nuanced and complex than that

That is EXACTLY the type of thing volo would say, I cant believe I missed it all these years

Im really at the honeymoon period in Far Cry 4 where all the activities and side quests are great fun and thoroughly entertaining Riding elephants to battles, hang-gliding and general exploration always reveal something new. As I mentioned before this is what Ubisoft is best at. They have a good game design world and the mechanics work nicely to provide a refined and compelling gaming experience 🖥️

I am watching several exciting series and new seasons that include FBI, Rookie, High Town, Law and Order (SVU ) and Walker I also finished the TV adaptation of The Stand, based on the Stephan King book. Absolutely brilliant and highly recommended

So just to be clear, when you say the " the US is stealing oil " do you mean the US government or specific oil US companies ? I am glad you can confirm this because this is an important story that we should discuss. Can you also provide the links that corroborate this?

I must say that volo and hurlshot do have similar views so that is no surprise, thanks for confirming my suspicions Shady

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-riot-hugging-and-kissing_n_605d4982c5b67593e057266d I know posting Trumps outrageous comments are outdated and hackneyed but this one I couldnt resist So according to Trump the rioters on 6 January were actually " hugging and kissing cops " To quote from the link above " It was zero threat, right from the start... Some of them went in, and they are hugging and kissing the police and the guards... a lot of the people were waved in, and then they walked in and they walked out" Hugging and kissing the police in an event that people died, its hard to think this was the former US president

Apparently our next wave is imminent and since we basically have no vaccines its advisable to not go out soooooo....its the weekend and I am treating myself to a mini-pork belly with mash for dinner 🍗 During this invidious lockdown I get by on the small pleasures in life....thank goodness for mini-pork belly !!!

Well I am not sure the Biden interview was that bad. We all know he is at an older age and comes across in a more " reserved " way so I didnt see anything out of the ordinary But his age doesnt seem to concern most of the media that much ... why are people like the beautiful Kaitlan Collins (CNN WH Correspondant ) asking him " are you going to run in the next election" !!! WTF.....what kind of question is that, I am just worried he will last to the end of this term and I mean that in empathetic way. I would be very concerned if he has another 4 years

I thought I was Oby?

What happened to Oby? I miss him, didnt you say you knew him from some online game or something similar ?

Bartie I never would have thought you would be involved in such an act of depraved criminality....I imagine the Mexican Cartels will be recruiting you soon!! But I think you will be fine. Short of trespassing, if it can be considered that , I cannot see how you broke the law ?

Their is a massive difference in the definition of the words " looting " and "modernize " But saying all that if a USA oil company decides to invest in the Syrian oil resources thats their choice. I cant see that happening considering the fact Syria is a complete economic disaster with most of the country destroyed by Assads refusal to give all his citizens equal economic rights and opportunities So why would any private sector company want to invest now in Syria ? But good luck to them if they want to

The USA is the worlds biggest producer of oil nowadays due to fracking and has been for several years, so it doesnt need to bomb any country because of oil. Back to the drawing board my friend because this is no longer a valid reason for the USA to intervene militarily in any country https://www.forbes.com/sites/rrapier/2020/09/29/did-the-us-become-the-worlds-top-oil-producer-under-president-trump/?sh=2d38a82320dd

Pidesco you have raised an interesting point and one that has often confused me. I know you Portuguese so maybe you cant answer this but why do Nordic people hate dolphins and whales and like killing them in barbaric ways ? http://greenplanetethics.com/dolphin-killing-in-denmark-faroe-islands/#:~:text=Dolphin killing in Denmark is a ritual requirement,watch the ritual slaughter of the Calderon Dolphins. https://us.whales.org/our-4-goals/stop-whaling/whaling-in-norway/ I consider the Nordic countries bastions of human rights and fairness so this behavior surprises me ? I support hunting in SA but its only done during hunting season and when their is going to be culling of animals like buck and elephant anyway . Also you pay big money to hunt in SA so international hunters help pay for the upkeep and sustainability of our game reserves

Gorthfuscious I wonder what that Wizards of the Coast game that studio is working on? It must be D&D based ?

Im disappointed Hoonding, all these years I have been on this forum and debating and you think I am racist ? You very naughty but its okay I forgive you because you make me laugh

Yes but some of these ass twerking ladies are really hot....like Cardi B and Nicki Minaj So lets make sure we keep funding these initiatives as part of arts and culture spending, they very important and if they need socialist funding I support it. Just stay away from unreasonable interference in the private sector and more important governments over regulation in the financial sector

Interesting questions, I have no idea how valid they are so it will be interesting to get comments from our Nordic members But do you have an issue with any country restricting immigration? I dont because I live in a country where illegal immigration has reach a crisis and our government has failed to do anything meaningful about it and it is has hurt our economy and created unnecessary tension on the ground between SA citizens and illegal foreigners. SA is now seen as a " Xenophobic and Afriphobic " country by certain other African countries and its not Also I have no issue with the banning of foreign funding for mosques, I support the domestic funding of mosques but the issue with foreign funding is that it can lead to ideological influence that is not aligned to the culture and value system of the country where the actual funding is directed

Fair enough, I had started my 10 year break from gaming during that time till 2006 so I didnt play games like BG until much later so I have no real institutional memory of the state of gaming when BG was released
