  1. noone knows who is good guy and who is bad guy there. I would just fence whole middle east and wait for winner to show at the gates
  2. It is not a bad thing "now". It is a bad thing period. Instead of trying to write believable characters in plausible situations, they simply go by the numbers to try and make a statement. The complaint here, and previously in SoD's case -by transgendered people no less- is that these characters are trite and cheapened because their whole theme is transgenderism. So back to my original question about making it one trait of a fully developed member of the crew. Funny thing, I didn't get so much heat when I laughed at biower pandering back in ME2, with the whole concept of Miranda. But now it's different, because SHUT UP WHITE CISHET ****LORD But you called out specifically the apology as pandering, while it seems they apologize exactly because they realize the way they wrote the character is trite and cheap. (Or, if you want to be more cynical, because even the audience they were aiming to pander to thinks that it is trite and cheap.) Again, most characters are trite and cheap, but for some reason LGTB characters needs to be implemented properly or mob will knock on your door. Who cares about rest of ****ty written characters right? That is the issue. They ponder for vocal minority where there are much bigger problems affecting wider audience.
  3. Review bombing definitely happened, it happens for all sorts of reasons. Nevertheless, the SoD character was not generally defended by actual trans people- indeed, many seemed to think Beamdog's approach trivialised the issue as much as Hainly in MEA- but by the Polygons and Kotakus of the world. The response from actual trans people seems to be fairly similar to the two characters, the press response and review bombing accusations publicised the issue in SoD's case and made it look like it was only an issue for 4chan types. For MEA, Bioware has not doubled down on the issue and blamed 4chan (even though they have done that before). Personally I'm of the opinion that such issues are almost always insultingly trivialised in gaming media, and like most things should be avoided unless you're actually going to do them well instead of as a once over lightly for 'political' reasons. Using a long hibernation sleep to transition is actually a pretty good concept, but if you aren't going to do it justice then just don't do it at all. Well, than you will be attacked that you didn't brought it up, seems like everyone needs to make problem from something these days
  4. You could ask Hainly why she joined the initiative and she basically told you she wanted a fresh start as Hainly and to stop being Stephan. Then she said her name is made up from the first letters of her favorite cities. .........And that's bad because...? As I understand it, in the rush to make sure it was understood the character was trans, the dialogue has Hainly revealing things about themselves that would be atypical for a first time meeting a person discussion and by referencing her previous name in a way that was inauthentic. So the change will be to - again as I understand it - make the dialogue more natural and more authentic. Its like every other character i suppose? I mean in *many* RPGs when you interact with NPCs they spill so much beans thats unreal. How offten you go around town asking if someone have some quest for you?
  5. 350M people and best you could come up was these two freaks sad right?
  6. The boldened bit made me a wee bit scared of you. I wouldn't go off grid though, I'm trying to change things instead to stop them from doing these things. As much as the thought of Guard Dogs boobytraps scare me, this kind of ignorance terrifies me. What is ignorant about Internet security? Cyber-terrorism and extremists using the Internet is a real threat You guys don't need to understand the precedent, its already working does it works? Any examples? It exists in the heart of the Internet in the USA, the company I work for is involved in integration We have no access at all to that environment as it is a secure site and they are our customers so no examples right? Pretty much spending billions of cash to watch billions of people without no real reason

My browsing history is for sure no threat to anyone. Even if I am terrorist its not a threat - I am a threat if anything. You are sheep
  9. They could literally force me to strap a GoPro to my wang before I would go live off the grid. "Privacy" aint that important to me. If I ever disappear from the forums you'll know I went "grizzly Adams"! Or got a bullet in the head from the Leftists. Oh I doubt that will happen. but if it did, trust me it will make the news. Unless they manage to sneak up on me is some way I won't be the only one to die that day. With all my firearms, countermeasures I've placed around my home, and an absolute committed willingness to use them I figure I'll give a good account of myself the day that happens. do you got mine field around house or what? xD
  10. Maybe, but at least you might get a chance to use your Joy stick
  11. They could literally force me to strap a GoPro to my wang before I would go live off the grid. "Privacy" aint that important to me. If I ever disappear from the forums you'll know I went "grizzly Adams"! PM me when you done that, will come to visit Will do... bring beer! Man I am Czech, we don't go anywhere without at least a keg

  14. It isnt a big deal losing what you think is privacy, you have been told your whole life " you need your privacy " or " your privacy is your personal obligation " ..says who? You will be fine if sometimes people are able to check your status and monitor certain Internet traffic, and yes this does mean you will have to accept there are people much clever than you who have your best interest in mind. You can trust me on this one But unless you are a terrorist, paedophile or other demented deviant of the dark web then you will have nothing to worry about what if I am deviant? Who is going to decide what deviant is? Is gay deviant? Slippery slope No members of the LGBT community are not deviants, you may get heavily scrutinized though but that's because where you live Everyone knows about the porn industry in Czech LGTB? And what about BDSM? You know its illegal in UK right? Are you ok with them being jailed?

  16. Yeah, eat each other leftist scum, thats how it always ends xD
  17. Anyone watched movies from Guy Richie? I re-watched Snatch yesterday for something like 100X time and man I still love it from start to end
  18. Woo hoo! Only 1313 to go until we pick Trump again or a Democrat that will be just as bad if not worse. Unless voters finally say enough is enough and do something different. Not holding out much hope but you never know. You need to believe and lead by example, I think this year was best year for 3rd party candidates so far? Maybe next election they will get even more, change doesn't happen over night
  19. That would be hilarious!
  20. to be fair, there is very little connection between F1 and F2
  21. Why would you mention assault rifle in a story that doesn't involve one? Spray and pray then my brother How would you "spray and pray" with non automatic weapon is what I want to know? It was irony
  22. Spray and pray then my brother
