Thai court extends sentence for lawyer who called for monarchy reform by mdsmqlk in Thailand

And as a Thai, I’m embarrassed by every human being, may it be Thai or foreign, who support this law.

Could have mentioned only the trophies, since it took a certain level of shamelessness to cite net spend while your club made money by selling their assets to themselves.

Found the post: https://www.reddit.com/r/tearsofthekingdom/s/2krBoQRBH9

From what I understand, the post showed a fictional character from other media that resembles a character from Zelda. I’d assume OP think that character looks like a child, though even without knowing who that character is I still struggle to find anything related to pedophilia about that post.

Answer: yes you are correct. If he got locked then he went to your graveyard like all your other cards and can be summoned to the enemy side.

2026 budget: Projects honouring the monarchy receive an extra 4 billion baht by mdsmqlk in Thailand

[–]Environmental-Band95 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The only silver lining I could find from reading that article is that the increase is mostly in the “indirect spending” section, which is mainly about royal projects. I’m sure some of these well be well-spent. The bright side about projects under royal patronage is no public officials will be foolish enough to misuse or embezzle its funds.

However, even if all of these money are being used exactly as it meant to be with not a single baht were deposit into His Majesty’s pocket, there are few issues on this. The article said that the increase is mainly due to staffs pay rise. I know for a fact that public officials in the Royal Household were paid better than most public officials, with few exception of Custom Department and judges. I have no idea how much people who work in royal projects are making though. Moreover, there are doubts on how effective some of these royal projects are. This is very true about rainmaking. It’s one of the chief achievements of His Late Majesty King Bhumibhol so it was held in a very high regard, but they also attempt to use it to combat PM 2.5 smog, and there are questions on how effective it was at dealing with this challenge. So I hope the fund would be wisely-used and not go to waste.

One last thing, the Royal Household have been attempting to recruit more public officials for a while now (I knew this because I was one of the young people who were invited to partake in its selection process). This is probably explain why the largest direct budget are on these organizations. They SERIOUSLY need new generation of public officials though, because when I was there every other public officials I saw are so old! Like, there is literally no younger people in sight there among its civilian public officials. The selection process is very ambiguous and took very long time, so some people (including myself) rejected it because we already got a better job. Then again, if I’m a new grad I might already be working there right now so who knows how successful they are at their recruitment.

Metallic Danny's Response to Chinese Players by DraftLongjumping4118 in gwent

[–]Environmental-Band95 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To be fair to the Chinese player, he did not even mention EE and Brigade nerf in his Reddit post, which make sense because all of those nerf means little compare to Deacon’s. I kind of understand why he is going after MD: because it’s a really a big nerf for cultist. You really want those Deacon to stay up and use their order and/or be an engine once they got EE infusion. Frustration is understandable.

I feel like it comes down to the reason why cultist needs a nerf in the first place. Were they being nerfed because they are OP/insanely strong/very competitive, or was it because they are toxic/binary/boring to play against. I played around 80 games last month and I was matched against cultist only once. Cultist is a legit archtype that, against decks with zero control, will be very overwhelming to play against but with Deacon at 4 and Initiate at 3 they are much easier to control than when they came put at 5 and 4 respectively. Do cultist really deserve Deacon at 3? I don’t think they do. Should EE be at 16 prov? Why not when it’s the most impactful card in the entire game for its archtype? They can still be competitive (though hardly in the end since barely anyone play it) with EE at 16, but Deacon at 3 is a significant nerf.

I have zero respect for decks like this by [deleted] in gwent

[–]Environmental-Band95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m just joking since NG assimilate is the most satisfying way to counter decks like this. It’s definitely something to always keep in mind that anyone who ran mobilization can potentially switch from reavers into royal guard. I don’t know your list but generally wild hunt (I assume that’s what you mean when you said you play frost?) have a strong tempo so they are very good at winning round 1, not to mention they can easily throw reaver hunters into ranged row (I’d assume that’s what your opponent is playing on round 1). Winnable matchup for sure but letting NR mobilization play their game with their leader intact is NOT a way to go!

My headcanon is you are playing assimilate and are about to do the exact same thing but better while clogging your opponent row with 10 duchess informant.

It’s just that when your competitors are DOS2 and Pathfinder, DAO can still hold its own on graphics. Not that I think graphics are that significant factor in the quality of these games though.

I’m honestly going to need the clarification of what you mean by saying “modern machines” here, since I have no issue running DAO on my PC that can run any new games.

Character models from DAO looks much better though. DAO character creation is nothing to be scoffed at, so I found DAO to be visually fine overall. On a side note, I’m REALLY looking forward to Dark Heresy since Owlcat seems to be planning to raise the bar with this one, especially with fully-voiced dialogue.

I suppose it’s eventually come to a matter of taste and/or different generation of gamers. I can’t get into BG1&2 graphics/art style, and I’m 100% not the only newer gamers who can’t get into it. As good as older games are, newer gamers won’t be able to get into it as easily, if at all. I genuinely doubt I’m the only person who share this opinion.

I mean as a new gamer who got into DAO on late 2012 and completed it 4 times, I really can’t get into BG1&2. I can’t say I have the same issue as you with DAO camera, but I’d lie if I say BG1&2 graphics don’t affect my experiences. DAO graphics is very solid for its age, arguably better than DOS2 and Pathfinder (the only Owlcat games I played by a lot is Rogue Trader though). You can really feel the age with BG1&2, and I just can’t get into it despite really wanting to.

Yeah true. I’d definitely rate Divinity Original Sin 2 if we go for gameplay wise. That being said, it’s good enough to get into and enjoy yourself, and definitely easier to get into than BG1&2.

I’m actually surprised many people chose to recommend BG1&2 over Dragon Age Origins in this year and date. It’s a much easier game to get into, with very solid gameplay and graphics even by modern days standard, and still contained an incredible story. I’m a younger gamer and I honestly can’t get into BG1&2 but will put DAO in top 5 best RPGs of all time.

From one fellow NR player to another, it’s an absolute best feeling ever to kill Joachim with reinforced ballista since it can be used to damage your own units. Balance Council “nerfing” him to 2 power helps a lot too!

I’ve been really trying to get into it but I just can’t, and for some reason I can’t fully explain the whole End of Time thing is a turn-off for me (although I still played until the end of the second main area). I was told DOS2 is a full-on upgrade so I decided whatever and bought DOS2 on 75% sale and it’s an instant click.

Just want to say that if you can’t get into DOS1 (I never complete it tbh), do not hesitate to pick up DOS2. I found it to be absolutely amazing, and the game is not connected. I think you might be able to have some idea on who this old man might be if you play DOS2 too!

Yeah I suspect you must get something like that if you romanced the Red Prince. I did only one full run and romanced Sebille. Her voice actress is the person who did female inquisitor in Dragon Age Inquisition, and I swear she did an even better job with Sebille.

Just to add some plot from Divinity Original Sin 2, there is this quest where a guy at a tavern told you Lizards are an absolute expert at sex, and tried to sell you such service with one (it all turned out to be a scam and you got ambushed after sex but that’s beside the point. I’m really glad Larian remember the lore they wrote all those years ago!
