Nah, you're 'just' bumped to the normal league - but there are better drops etc on hardcore, due to some of the boss modifiers etc, so that's why people wanna stay.

Nipton, Mojave has been bought by a drug company .. looks like Cesar's Legion was on to something. Maybe you should stop by there Calax, and buy a lottery ticket?

Not historically uncommon either - very powerful houses sometimes didn't want to marry off younger sons or daughters too soon, in order to limit the number of potential future claimants. That and it seems there's a tradition in Westeros for 'Cadet branching', like the Karstarks - meaning any family member not directly in line of succession or from the main family, would either seek different means of income and prestige or adopt a different name and start a new smaller house.

Did you bring a friend?

There's a number of things in play here, that did not get conveyed in the show. Speaking from historically comparative point of view. First of all, it's a feudal soceity, so 100k is summoned and not a standing army - many being busy harvesting or preparing for winter. Second, in a feudal society a house rises and falls on it's ability to produce heirs and alliances, in this respect House Tyrell was a losing house and Lannister allying themselves with Tarly would very quickly cause the other local houses to fall in line. After all, the Tarly's could easily continue buisness as is and prevent a very devastating power struggle.

Dogs I can believe -- after all, they are trained by humans and can pick up on those owner biases. But yeah, the last one is just silly. The person is referring to the fact that society in general invests a greater deal of money to protect rich neighborhoods, which is predominately white - and will often only react to protect the shoreline of less profitable places, after heavy death tolls. As racial minorities often live in these places, she is arguing that the environmental protection focus is racial, even though it is more of economic class issue. Not as funny though...

C&C and Red Alert 1 were pretty rad games back in the day - do they hold up to modern playthroughs?

You'd be taking about direct democracy 'changing things' if you lived in a multiple party system. We do - and it's the same bull****, albeit on a smaller scale. Voting blocks graviate towards an effective two party system anyway. The problem is systemic to power itself. I can recommend this book for a good dose of cynisism https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1328737207l/11612989.jpg

History disagrees with that statement, it has to be forced - often with violent systemic backlash from those who wish to maintain their status. Then the next generation doesn't understand what all the fuss was about - but one thing is sure- discrimination of X is in no way similar to the discrimination of Y.

Feeling out of place has always been dangerous for your mental wellbeing. Being poor, a part of minorites and even worse, something not socially accepted, tend to rake up the suicide numbers. And that has always been used by the empowered to justify discrimination. From forced sterilisation of homosexuals ("they are sick! Look at those suicide numbers!") to even criminalizing poverty. A dandy world view..

DeHann is 31. I liked the film, but I do think that Valerian's character doesn't seem to quite work. Not really sure its a casting problem a conceptual problem within the script itself. Perhaps, he was originally written as something of a mysogonist, that warmed up to Laureline. Mostly used to illustrate the feminist writer's view on men. In time he became a pretty interesting character, but if they've only used The City of A Thousand Planets, as source materiel, I can see why he was so wooden.

Tried it s few times, hard game to learn, especially without any graphic mods.

It's actually a different and much better program than Mod Manager. Mod Organizer (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/1334/) creates a simulated data folder, so starting over or correcting mistakes is actually possible as it never alters the base files. Not even the ini's

They're pretty great - if you do reinstall New Vegas - make sure to grab Mod Organizer. It's makes the whole modding experience about 3 times smoother.

spoilers: They are in too much of hurry this season and the Ironborn storyline is suffering for it - building that many ships that fast - the Kraken axe, using Carracks for ramming - the cannonball catapults. All of them signs that the writers are busy getting to the next 'cool' moment, rather than building up proper suspense. Which is what actually makes story culminations awesome. Having Euron hunt them with a much smaller fleet, out- thinking, flanking and maneuvering them, would work so much better. Also for establishing him as a character to fear.

Thread pruned, let's stay on topic and not let things get personal.

I really do not understand their choice here at all - Valérian is a little old and more of a classic sci-fi cowboy, who relies on his quick-draw and smooth talker skills to get him out of trouble. With Laureline being the actual competent one of the two. While I have respect for DeHaan in some of his other roles, he's way too young and the role was written much more like a renegade Commander Shephard. Didn't fit the source material at all.

Closed due to length, new iteration here.

Old thread here. Last few posts: This sounds dumb as hell, imo. I don't mind them making a new spin-off tv show, but this reads like a real crap idea that is forced to contradict established lore.

Latest post in last thread. Was about to share that. I'm not too convinced... It looks intriguing but I'm getting a bit of an Avatar / Valerian vibe from it. It's basically a 40 something author writing a story about a teenager in the future who worships 80's nostalgia in the uber-geek manner by playing an MMO based around it, and thereby gaining world shaking power, influence, respect and the girl. Your mileage may vary depending on how you like your pop culture references dropped every other paragraph.

Seems like Guillermo got to make the Abe Sapian origin movie he always wanted - cool. Also, closed for length, new thread here.

Huh, never knew they just took random Asian educational videos and used those for NPC dialouge in Oblivion and Skyrim https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ywOd4Vg2sU
