  1. Of course Clinton is a good choice? She has the support of the majority of moderate Americans so she doesnt want to build a wall or deport 11 million people so straight away she will reduce this fear the the world has what Trump can do She wants to continue the Obama legacy and the majority of Americans support this, there is nothing radical or extreme about her policies so we shouldn't see too much of an impact to the world Why dont you think she is a good chocie ? That's just it. She is a choice. That she seems like a good choice is more of a lowering of standards on the Republican side. From my view Democrats are standard, corrupt politicians under the thumb of big money and Obama is no different. Republicans have become something a lot more pernicious and dangerous than that, and Democrats just get a pass for their direct competition being an utter crapshow. The Republican Party becoming an unmitigated disaster means that Democrats win by default, but it's a win that tastes like old socks and broken dreams.
  2. I might be called many things and I hope "consistent" is one of them! I'm guessing you dating profile just states you love dogs and individual rights. It feels weird sometimes, having been on the forums for so long. You kind of count as a guy I know even if we don't really know each other.
  3. I don't think Clinton is a good choice. I simply think Trump is bad enough not be a choice at all. I know GD isn't a Trump supporter. I think he has always (=since he joined the forums) been a libertarian.
  4. Hillary is NOT better than Trump. It's just a different variety of bad. While better is perhaps an inadequate word to compare Clinton to Trump, she is definitely less worse than Trump. The whole fascist, xenophobic, incompetent deal with Trump, is a different kind of bad compared to other politicians on the current American political stage. Clinton seems to me very much like a generic American politician, not all that different from most past American political leaders. Terrible, but par for the course. Trump on the other hand is a different kind of monster, begat from the Republicans' appalling political strategies since Nixon and the American "fast food" news media, together with the economic and political dissatisfaction of the lower classes. That the nominally left leaning politicians in first world countries are leaving the lower classes ripe for the picking of the extreme right is the true problem going on here. In that sense Trump is simply a ghastly and frightening symptom of a much larger issue.
  5. Another thread getting too long. Continue here.
  6. Do you have even more faith in humanity that you can lose? This the thread where you can continue that endeavor.
  7. The other thread was getting too long so this is now the thread where you come to lose faith in humanity.
  8. One time in Blood and Wine I get off Roach to go talk to some guy, and while we're speaking in the background the horse can be seen with one bent leg resting on a table, like it's chilling and having a drink.
  9. I just backed it with 25€, thanks to you.
  10. I haven't read Dark Tower, but the Hearts of Stone plot seemed like a take on Faust, to me.
  11. No, Gwent is Geralt's "unusual request" to the brothel's owner. I think Geralt might have a gambling problem. Well, my Geralt does anyway.
  12. There's a prostitute in Blood & Wine that complains about clients being weird and wanting to roleplay witchers. Apparently, after the act, the clients usually ask for a card.
  13. Both, I guess. While my questions are very much from a noob point of view, they are also informed by my experience as a PC gamer. That allows me to ask questions that your average new player wouldn't ask. While it seems to me like the tutorial is more geared towards people already familiar with Pathfinder, it's not completely undecipherable to people already familiar with games. If, for example, my wholly non gamer wife happened to pick up Pathfinder Adventures, her reaction would probably be to not even finish the tutorial. The use of game specific terminology in the tutorial without much clarification is discouraging to new players and seems like something that should be corrected. I'd say a glossary, tooltips or both might go a long way towards making things a bit more user friendly.
  14. I have just played through the tutorial scenario and, while fun, everything seemed slightly unfathomable. Pathfinder's lingo isn't immediately clear (burying your ally is a good thing?), and while I finished the tutorial I'm still not sure about how the game works. From what I figured out the goal is to find and defeat a boss card which is hidden in one of several locations, although it can move between them. Each location has a single henchman card which you have to defeat in order to make that location inaccessible to the boss. Once you confine the boss to a single location and defeat it there, you win the game. This seems a bit too simple to me, though. In order to do all this you control a few characters (two or more?) which each have deck cards which represent things like equipment, powers, or allies. Characters also possess not-card abilities which you can use whenever you want? I'm not sure about this. I'm also not clear on whether these characters level up, or how their abilities are defined. Can you create characters from the start or are they always unlockables or purchaseables? I also don't know whether locations are more or less generic, or whether they follow some kind of specific builds. Are certain characters better prepared to tackle certain locations? Are there support characters which shouldn't tackle locations alone? Does anything happen to a location if you go for too many turns without interacting with it? Is there a disadvantage to tackling locations one at a time with your whole party?
  15. I have just installed this on my tablet and I thought there might as well be a thread that collects people's thoughts on the game. I haven't done anything with it yet, other than navigating the settings and the store. I'm currently staring at the first welcome message in the tutorial. Everything seems to be very responsive and quick. I'm on a Mipad, a 7,9" Chinese tablet with a Tegra K1. The music is great, and the art style is very nice too. I've never ever interacted with anything Pathfinder related, so that's where I'm coming from. From what I've read from other people online this means I may have trouble understanding some things in the tutorial. Let's see what happens. Feel free to post your impressions here as well, of course.
  16. Meganecromancy cast on thread! I'll be moving next week so I took the opportunity to take an updated picture of a few games in my collection. Bask in its puny glory.
  17. Timely thread. I currently live in Portugal, as I have for the past 17 years but, I have trying, for the past 6 months, to get a job in Sweden. In fact, I'll be in Sweden next week to meet with a prospective employer. Things are looking good, and I may move to Gothenburg in March.
  18. I've been trying to get Alpha Protocol to work at 3440x1440 and the menus come out all zoomed in, to the point where you can't see the lower buttons on the screen. anyone at Obsidian has an inkling on how to solve this?
  19. A friend of mine bought a Lenovo Yoga tablet for his wife, and he told me it was great. Very ergonomic, apparently. It's an Android, though.
  20. A local PC hardware store.
  21. ASUS P8H77-V LE INTEL Core i5 3450 3.10GHz GEIL 8GB DDR3 1600MHz ASUS Geforce GTX 980 Ti ASUS Xonar D2X Canton Movie 60CX Speakers Crucial MX100 512GB Seagate 1Tb 7200 RPM S-ATA2 32Mb Dell U3415W Gamepad XFX XGear Dual Reflex Cyborg V.5 Rumble Pad I managed to trade in the GTX 970 for a 980 Ti, which allows for competent performance (40/50 FPS) in Witcher 3 at 3440x1440 with all bells and whistles turned on. It is glorious.
  22. My pledge pushed the Kickstarter over 45000. Another signed Obsidian item for my collection.
