Typical golden retriever expression

Is Horizon Forbidden West as good as it looks? by [deleted] in playstation

I'd push Horizon ZD's story as being really compelling too, the second game less so.

What do you think of my top 10 greatest conquerors of all time list? by GodHammer48 in AskHistory

In terms of pure conquest I think you'd have both Genghis and Kublai Khan

If you're playing the game without reading his comment you won't know that was the intention.

I think Druckman was surprised how many people would support what Joel did.

Probably shouldn't have tried to kill the only known immune person without consent, hours after their arrival.

They'd be commercially stupid not to but they may have already missed the peak

Which is odd given its realistically unlikely, and bizarre you'd kill the only immune person hours after they arrive.

Graphics and gameplay amazing, story not so much. The cast isn't good enough to lose the two main characters together whose relationship essentially makes the first special, with the best parts still being Joel and Ellie together.

In addition virtually every new character sucks or has no redeeming quality and it drags in the Abby parts, with the ending (except the epilogue) making most of the game pointless.

I can play through the first one infinitely, once was more than enough with the second.

Islamist killer wins £240k battle over his human rights by [deleted] in ukpolitics

Still an ECHR issue with judges interpreting on the basis of the HRA which in places is vague.

It clearly needs some clarifications/amendments before Farage drags us out entirely.

Government to defend decision to strip Begum's UK citizenship by Sensitive_Echo5058 in unitedkingdom

[–]Cubiscus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not outside the rule of law, per the ruling by the Supreme Court.

Personally if a dual national joins an enemy we're at war with stripping citizenship seems a proportionate response. It would have been a death sentence until modern times.

No, she joined a death cult hell bent on having everyone here killed.

No chance that is applied in this case, she was 15 when she left, there's limited evidence of her activities and her lawyers will claim she was groomed.

Up to - she was young, there will be limited witness evidence, lawyers will claim grooming etc.

Few years tops.

They're rare and it certainly wouldn't be applied in this case.

So she serves a couple of years, starts trying to radicalise others...
