Paypal backing ?
Elerond replied to obsinaut's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)In Finland it is possible to buy prepaid credit cards from certain stores and I know that such is possibility in other countries. So it could be worth to check if there are similar services in your countries.

Yes, especially Israel's. I would also point out that either of said walls circumstances aren't even close in comparison to what the alternative wall of USA is meant to be.

Yes, it's going to cost more than the entire highway budget. Trump always brings his projects in ahead of time and under budget. He will hire cheap Mexican labor and uses even cheaper materials from China like he has done in past

Wasting money is our governments specialty. Nobody blinks either when we drop 7B over 10 years supporting other countries breeding programs of questionable impact. How much is Trump Wall supposed to cost anyway? Trump says 10 billion, experts say 25-100 billion

It seems that there is only politically correct science for Americans now on Trump mandates EPA studies, data undergo review by political staff before release The Trump administration is scrutinizing studies and data published by scientists at the Environmental Protection Agency, while new work is under a "temporary hold" before it can be released. The communications director for President Donald Trump's transition team at EPA, Doug Ericksen, said Wednesday the review extends to all existing content on the federal agency's website, including details of scientific evidence showing that the Earth's climate is warming and man-made carbon emissions are to blame. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/politics/ct-trump-epa-studies-20170125-story.html

Elerond replied to Infinitron's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)It is bit different, you will sign your soul and bank accounts for Obsidian to use as they please and you promise be grateful to them for all eternity. But seriously, it is quite similar to KS when it comes to regular backers, but it also accepts venture capital investors.

Obama actually spoke against hacking claims. Elections results itself weren't hacked, at least there is no proof that such thing happened, but hacking DNC and illegally obtain and leaking information from their server did provably effect elections, as media, people, people even here referenced that information in order to manipulate people's minds who they should vote. In other hand president, at least not Obama, didn't encourage illegals to vote, because he encouraged people to register to vote and one can't do that if they aren't citizen of US.

Politics 2017
Like you don't know that here is massive difference in elected president claiming things in official setting compared to private citizens whining about something. Also there was provable case of hacking and leaking information during elections, as we all were able to see those leaked emails, even if people that did hack and leak can't be identified for sure, where any proof that even singular people are voting illegally is nearly non-existent and there isn't anything that even remotely suggest thousands let alone millions of people are voting illegally in US. But world where everything that you claim is just alternative fact there seems to be no need for any proof and if such behavior is accepted for president and his advisory then it is accepted to everybody else.

I seems so! Its shocking to me that we piss away funds making sure women in other countries can get abortions. We could be using that money to train bums in a vocation or something but instead we concern ourselves minutiae of other countries breeding. Much like Planned Parenthood, characterizing these clinics simply by the fact they offer abortions is usually a gross misrepresentation. It would also be my guess that these are parts of the world where women struggle to get access to decent healthcare, and this funding is part of an attempt to help women across the globe. That being said, I have no issue with the US pulling back on funding other countries while we try to strengthen our own health care systems that sorely need it. I have a big problem with us making it about abortion and turning it into political, though. But the hings is that USA don't actually pull back funding (at least not yet), it just deny it from clinics and organizations that provide abortions or give information about abortions, even if they don't use a cent that they get from USA to provide said services. Meaning that it is just political maneuver against abortion and women's healthcare at same. But it is something that all republican presidents have done starting from Reagan.

USA gives money to development aid like all the other world's richest countries. It has been sore point for some people already decades, so I would say that you are bit late in your realization.

Trump's game is to stir controversy in topics that don't matter in order to get less attention to other things that he does, like cutting funding from women clinics in developing countries that offer abortion services.

For example Protections against employment discrimination isn't everywhere in same level as they are for other citizens. Ability to adopt a child as couple isn't everywhere in same level as they are for other citizens. Protections against denial of service isn't everywhere on same level as it is for other citizens.

What? Treating LGBT as regular citizens? The horror. I know right? "Do you want to be treated as an equal or do u want to be treated as special? If you are treated as an equal, then u won't be treated as if your special because your just like everyone else. If you are treated as special, then you won't be treated as if your equal because then your different and not like everyone else. But you don't treat LGBT citizens as equal to other citizens as you give (USA) them less rights and less protections against things than you give to other citizens. Meaning that special treatment that you speak is that you treat them as special in sense that they are lower class citizens. But of course for some equality means that people are equal if they rights only when they are able to act as majority of population and if you can't it is absolutely justified to mistreat you.

It is just precedent that gives indication how they could treat foreign protesters that come to protest during UN summit or some other international event hold in US. It isn't different from what lots of other countries do, but it is something that US has stand for long time, meaning that is an example of possible changes coming in next 4 years (leading to Trumps becoming beloved leader of US).

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jan/20/womens-march-canada-protesters-denied-entry-us?CMP=share_btn_tw Canadians traveling to Women's March denied US entry after sharing their plans "The group was upfront about their plans with border agents, Dyck said. “We said we were going to the women’s march on Saturday and they said, ‘Well, you’re going to have to pull over’.” What followed was a two-hour ordeal. Their cars were searched and their mobile phones examined. Each member of the group was fingerprinted and had their photo taken. Border agents first told the two French citizens that they had been denied entry to the US and informed them that any future visit to the US would now require a visa."

Ideal lenght for cRPG?
Ideal length depends on what game focuses on and what kind mechanics it uses. Open world exploration RPGs like Bethesda's The Elder Scrolls and Fallout series or Bioware's Dragon Age 3 you need much longer length as in those games focus in exploring world and finding content more than anything else. So in them play time tends to be much longer than in other games because of that exploration, but they are games that have very low replayability percent. In action oriented story driven games like Mass Effect, Dragon Age 2 or Alpha Protocol ideal play time is much shorter, because in them focus is in story and player choices how to forward the story. Hardest RPG genre to determine ideal playtime is what I call balanced RPGs like Baldur's Gates, Fallout 1&2, Dragon Age: Origins, Pillars of Eternity, Wasteland 2 and Divinity Original Sin. Because they have that time consuming exploration, character building, but they also have heavy focus on narrative and player choices. In such games focusing in one aspect over others usually makes game become dull.
