Im 60 hours into BG2 and as was expected Im loving it, I have just got to Chapter 3 and I had to ruminate on who I should align with Bodhi or the Shadow Thieves. It was tough decision because Bodhi offered advantages like she was less arrogant and didnt attack me immediately, possible hot Vampiress Romance and a litany of magic items But I then decided I couldnt align with the undead against humans so I decided to assist the Shadow Thieves And then I have been on some excellent side quests like The Planar Sphere, Umar Hills and the entire Windspear Hills and the Firkraag story arc I am also enjoying the cheesy BG2 Romance mod and the entertaining dialogue options. My Romance with Viconia is proceeding nicely and so is my Vienxay relationship I also dropped Hexxat as a party member and included Valygar because he is more effective fighter and archer Further updates to follow

This is so true and brilliant

What advanced kit have the Saudis got to stop Iranian suicide drone attacks, Im interested?

Great read about the Ukrainians fortitude to resist Putins War and how the West will stay the course and continue to support Ukraine

https://nypost.com/2022/09/12/democrats-spend-53m-to-boost-far-right-gop-candidates/ This is so wrong. In certain states the Democrats have attacked moderate Republicans and paid for huge advertising so MAGA candidates win in the primaries So I guess Biden was wrong and the MAGA supporters arent the " threat to the core values of Democracy in the US " that he was grandstanding about. Because clearly when it suit the Dems politically they fine Kamala Harris refused to condemn this hypocrisy on Meet the Press, such a disappointment when people are so inconsistent with what they say they stand for. And people accuse the GOP of falseness and hyperbole

Nothing is more cringe than Putin sitting at his long table when he was obsessed and paranoid about the virus https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/vladimir-putin-ukraine-russia-crisis-long-table-kremlin-memes-rcna16670

Its amazing to see the hundreds of thousands of people who are prepared to wait up to 24 hours in a queue to see the Queens coffin and say final goodbyes. Much of UK family spent 12-14 hours to pay there tributes I really admire this type of commitment to the UK monarchy and its testament to the real support they have, people have travelled all the way from the US, Africa and Australia to name a few countries. And the temperature on Friday was 7 degrees celsius (45°F). https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/queue-see-queens-coffin-closes-temporarily-after-reaching-capacity-2022-09-16/

Yes I think you right, performance art...that makes more sense

https://www.foodnetwork.com/shows/tournament-of-champions Anyone who loves cooking reality shows and cooking competitions this is the BEST show you will ever watch. These are considered the most highly rated US competitive cooking chefs at the time of each season based on several metrics Its more exciting than Iron Chef America

Thats cute, I like that You see this is art and something all of us can appreciate and understand. Some of this modern day art is .....distorted One of my friends girlfriends in JHB attended an art school in Germany and she told me the art professor was demonstrating what they call impressionist art (?? ) and he stood in front of the class and poured vomit all over himself as symbol of rejection of the reality of the state of art according to him That type of behavior is shocking, he should be in a mental asylum. She thought it was great and meaningful

Im not sure whats the point of this, is it a joke comparing the Queen to the brutal NK leadership? Is this an opportunity for outrage or humor?

Excellent interview and I agree with most of it, it always highlights the unlikely reality of the " new world order "

Absolutely appalling, add to the long list of Russian war crimes

Its a great point but crossing the border into Russia would be an egregious mistake because now Putin would gain the " moral high ground " and motivate the entire Russian military machine and public sentiment And then we can no longer raise the truth about the unprovoked invasion as Putin will be now defending his country I think this would make him stronger

This is the type of constructive criticism I appreciate I issue I have always had with the criticism I sometimes get is its normally not accurate and has nothing to do with the posts I make. And it may sound pedantic but if someone is not going to ask " why do you say xxx" and assume its because Im " racist\fascist " why would I take it seriously? And also the reality of global culture wars translates often to hyperbole from the both some on the left and right and generalizations and cliche are used to describe someone's views instead of understanding what motivates them So my views will be seen as racist instead of what they are, its easier to label me than to understand what I am saying. And sometimes I am to blame for this because I dont explain my point properly But I do have my own biases and I try not to, its ongoing work and sometimes you not even aware of them

Really?So the truth doesnt matter and we judge people on what we perceive and assume .... I am not convinced, its sounds very SJWish to me

I agree, so tell me what makes me a racist\facist?

I agree, Zora's argument that the Russians wouldnt target ZNPP is unconvincing. The Ruskies have done several stupid things and made bad decisions in the interest of getting certain military outcomes Its not about them " bombing themselves " so much as its a deliberate strategy where they arent concerned about the consequence

Yes its well known and accepted that most countries have a requirement for certain skills and legal immigration addresses that Thats not the immigration problem that is the problem

It was discussed on CNN that with the Russian military reversals and how the war is now being perceived within Russia the risk is now the Ruskies will indiscriminately target more civilian and " soft targets " like this dam So we should expect this, its a case of " we getting beaten in the traditional military sense lets go after infrastructure " because then it can seen by supporters of the war as something retaliatory Its deplorable but its normal for the craven and failed Russian military strategy

I went with my Cpt family to an amazing restaurant last night at a prestigious hotel called Cellars-Honenort https://www.thecellars-hohenorthotel.com/restaurants-bars/the-conservatory/ The restaurant we ate at is built over a forest in the hotel grounds, I tried to capture how scenic it was in the photos.I had Starter : AGED BOLAND CHEESE SOUFFLÉ – gin cheese sauce, parmesan Main meal : SEARED OUTENIQUA SPRINGBOK LOIN , Honey glazed parsnip, XO chutney, charred onions, rocket pesto, red wine jus The cheese souffle was the best I have ever had

No its not that, when you immigrate to any Western country you have to accept the value system of that country but you can still have your own culture and religion, thats why you see so many " little chinas\russia\korea\india\mexico\jamaica " in basically all Western courtiers that are immigration destinations

I absolutely believe this, Putin is a warmonger and believes in the indomitable view of " might makes right "

Im glad you raising these immigration realities because when I mention it you get some members, @majestic, who handwave it because Im a " facist\racist " and there is no immigration problem in the EU But you right, Sweden faces some real and obvious immigration challengers and the worse thing about it is if you ignore it you will see the rise of right wing political parties who get support from citizens who are not right wing but they not happy with current liberal immigration policies and this directly impacts things like crime
