Seems this is going developed quite well. I have high hopes for this project.

Social Enforced RP
I recall there were a few cool RP heavy modules in Neverwinter Nights. You probably still can get into one - like Ravenloft Prisoners of the Mist - http://www.nwnravenloft.com/forum/index.php I still think that NWN was the best MP game other than esport game like SC, DotA and CS. NWN was superior to any MMO there was at a time - it was moddable, it allowed huge player agency and the only thing it required, was a bunch of like minded and dedicated players.

This is by far the view that suits me best... Failing to recognize that there are differences is leading to more troubles.

The Weird, Random or Interesting Things That Fit Nowhere Else Thread
I just can't understand it... I know that human's life worth can vary from place to place, but priorities... it's like someone would take peoples brains out... If you are a witness of such thing and have no idea how to behave, what to do, you are in some shock, have at least some decency and do not film this if no one else is helping the person... Imagine how effin... awful way to die... not only you are bleeding out, but you have people around you, who flash with their phones and comment instead of helping...

Wasn't sure where to put it, but some Bollywood production was hosted at my hometown for some shots to their movie and they also made a video clip to one of the songs for that movie. It's odd to me to say the least :D

There are many things I do not agree with these people, but when it comes to Criminals, especially sex offenders, I am all on board to make sure they are eliminated from the public life and shunned. The last thing I need is to have some creep, that who knows what thinks, be working with people I respect and care about. Sad part is, they are doing nothing regarding street thugs and football hooligans. I wish they were as dedicated on this part, but sadly, these are their voters, so they will not touch them.

Movies You've Seen (or would like to see) Recently
How could someone rate The Last Jedi above anything other than maybe one of prequels is beyond my understanding. this film is a mess of plot holes and ridiculous end to multiple arcs, some of which were not even developed yet... oh and i forgot to mention space jesus... The Empire Strikes back New Hope Force Awakens (had potential to be a nice start despite M. Sue which Rey is) Return of The Jedi Rogue One All of Prequels competing with The Last Jedi - the only two things good in this film are visuals and sound...

Movies You've Seen (or would like to see) Recently
Holy ****e, just came back from The Last Jedi... easily the worst movie in the whole 8 episodes... never thought another movie from SW series can beat episode one... but there we have the winner... Episode 8... I won't get to spoilers, but the amount of facepalms i had was probably the most on any movie I've willingly paid money to see it in a Cinema and wasn't dragged by any lady on it... The first ten minutes were decent, until the first space jump, then it went only downhill...

UN is glorified League of Nations. It's long gone past the purpose and its real efficiency and credibility is long gone, and all due to its own decisions.

Star Wars: The Last SJW
Funny video, however there is a point in this, that our civilization is in decline and will be overrun. (feminism however is not the cause, it's one of many symptoms where people grow soft and lazy) Not sure why people would think that suddenly the current state of the world will be given for millenia. Every big empire/culture eventually collapsed under "barbarians" and inferior cultures, because those were more driven and ruthless. Same will be with ours.

Belgium, Hawaii to ban, regulate in-game loot boxes as gambling
To be honest, I've had my share of experience with risk management and in the past I even worked as a card dealer in some bigger casinos, and yet even though I am fairly immune to these kind of practices, I still can experience this nice tingle on the back of my head and spine, when getting what i want from a cosmetic crate for TI lootboxes in DotA2 - I even get lured into this trap, "****, i did not get it, but i got opened a few now, so next one has to give me this 'very rare' stuff" - nope, it does not give it as it does not work like that. The difference is, I know where i put my limit for such expense, and I know that at least part of that gets to professional players into their prize money. I do not buy any stuff like this in any other game. Now, a person in age 13-21 or even older, can't really resist those traps, because they are designed to lure you back in. Even casinos in theory have regulations that they need to forbid entry to certain adults, who displayed heavy addiction issues. No such thing in on-line products such as loot boxes. This video was kind of interesting to watch, when someone did a research that EA's base game revenues were shrinking, while the MTX related cash was skyrocketing.
