Poor guy. Yeah, if I recall correctly, he was the lead designer for NWN2 until he left Obsidian right before release, and I vaguely remember rumours that when he left for Bioware, NWN2 was not in the best of states, and that was a lot of work to be done between him leaving and the game's release.

The Putin suite.

In Portugal the current far right party has a bunch of members who are former members of PNR an openly neonazi party. One of their preferred slogans was the slogan of the Portuguese dictatorship. They swear they are neither fascists nor nazis. In Brazil, Bolsonaro's supporters also like to use the same fascist slogan I mentioned above. They also swear they aren't fascists. In Sweden the current far right party was the neonazi party. They still count among their number a bunch of original neonazis. They swear they are neither fascists nor nazis. As you can read above, analogous things are true of the far right parties in Austria and Italy. So not that casually, unfortunately.

This is glorious. @Gromnirmight like it.

If they're like every other "former" Nazi Party in Europe, but who now just purportedly ask questions and are very concerned about things, they sound like one of these every time they talk:

Actually that starts in November, so it's more like a couple of months.

Fall into a chasm and get killed by a gay director of classic horror movies?

Stable 60 fps on all the heavy games I have installed, with the exception of Spider-Man where I get 50-60 fps. 50 when swinging, 60 everywhere else. That's at 3440x1440.

I generally don't support authoritarian regimes.

I thought Trump had walked that back.

Yes the US just have to afghanistan/iraq harder in their foreign policy, so that they can magically fix the mass immigration crisis. It's foolproof,

Surprisingly, I'd like people to be able to choose where they want to live, regardless of where they were born. Imagine that,

Hey, you might want to check the history of Honduras, Nicaragua, Cuba, Hawaii, Haiti, Costa Rica, Syria, Burma, Guatemala, Iran, Iraq, Indonesia, East Timor, Vietnam, Congo, Laos, Brazil, Cambodia, Chile, Bolivia, Afghanistan, Panama. Just a couple of examples. There are more. I can also suggest you read on the Truman Doctrine, or perhaps you can just take a look at the life of Henry Kissinger, AKA the Forrest Gump of war crimes. Or check this out.

That's certainly a wrong take.

This has been stuck in mind for a while recently. I still recently remember feeling chills the first I heard it. Maybe my memory is playing tricks on me but I think Dusk... and her Embrace was the first black metal album I heard from start to finish.

If by "review our immigration policies" you mean let's create systems that help integrate adult migrants into society, that help avoid the creation of immigrant ghettos, and that focus on the effective education of the children of immigrants, sure, I agree with that. If by " review our immigration policies" you mean close the borders, then no, that's plainly stupid. If there are pressures that create large population movements between countries, be it war, climate, crime, or whatever, people are going to move across borders, whether you want them to or not. https://comparativemigrationstudies.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/s40878-020-00213-1

Immigration is inevitable and it will become increasingly more inevitable in the coming decades. Europe will be flooded by refugees whether we like it or not. So you either prepare for the people that are coming accordingly, or pretend "closing" borders and sticking your head in the sand will solve the problem.

Jean-Luc Godard died, at 91. I was actually surprised to learn he was still alive. Here's Jean Seberg in À Bout de Souffle.
