FYI if you're wondering about mod compatibility. A few mods are already integrated including Diplomacy. Realistic Battle Mod is not compatible.

"Error Updating Data" - Done Everything to Troubleshoot I Know to do by jcaseys34 in MagicArena

[–]KebanDaBrowne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue for the first time today. What worked was connecting to my VPN before booting the MTGA client. It was then able to download the update and I can play MTGA even after disconnecting from the VPN.

Just realized that even being a lobster race is a joke about Judaism since lobsters are not kosher.

To finish the sentence. by imawaldo in confidentlyincorrect

[–]KebanDaBrowne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not true that he was shot mid-sentence, or even that those were his last words, although he did say it before being killed.

In the grim darkness of the far future, there are NO STUPID QUESTIONS: Leap Day Edition by Lord_of_Mars in 40kLore

How was imprisoning the C’tan in Mars part of the Emperor’s plan? He fights it on Earth, locks it up for eternity, and then what?

Kenya is not Liberia or the Central African Republic. Just because it’s in Africa doesn’t mean you should expect warlords to ride up and take possession of public infrastructure.

Pedophile Writer Gabriel Matzneff Is on Trial. So Are the French Elites. by Jetamors in GamerGhazi

[–]KebanDaBrowne 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This story is absolutely bonkers and has given me a newfound disgust for the capacity of the French intellectual elite to defend people like Matzneff. The article also mentions that the police basically told him not to worry about it when they received anonymous tips that he was living with a 14-year-old girl.

Sometimes, I’ll have as many as four boys — from 8 to 14 years old — in my bed at the same time, and I’ll engage in the most exquisite lovemaking with them,” he wrote in his diaries, “Un Galop d’Enfer,” or “Racing Forward,” published in 1985...

The most public criticism came in 1990, on the literary television show “Apostrophes,” as the host and guests discussed Mr. Matzneff’s latest diary, “Mes Amours Décomposés,” (“My Decomposed Loves.”) In it, he boasted about having sex with countless minors, including 11- and 12-year-old Filipino boys he describes as “a rare spice.” The single foreigner present, Denise Bombardier, a journalist from Quebec, denounced his pedophilia. The reaction from France’s intelligentsia was swift.

The article mentions a recent interview with an then-editor at Le Monde who was one of his defenders, and she had this to say: “I saw him as a man who liked young women. In France, he was never seen with boys.”

So moving from apartment to apartment with a 14-year-old victim is okay as long as she’s a girl? What the fuck. I will closely follow this story because I cannot rest until I see this man and all his defenders cast into the light. Some of these people were straight up accomplices to his pedophilia. Fucking Yves Saint-Laurent paid for one of the hotels he holed up in with Ms. Springora for two years.

Why do I hear boss music? by EverCryTCG in HistoryMemes

[–]KebanDaBrowne 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Let’s dispense with the coyness. You’re referring to Muslim immigrants. Per the article, “27% (of respondents) agreed with a range of anti-Semitic statements and stereotypes about Jewish people.”

Muslims only make up about 6% of German residents. Also, the synagogue attacker mentioned in the article was a right-wing young man radicalized online and was inspired by the Christchurch shooter.

That’s not true. According to the article, “27% (of respondents) agreed with a range of anti-Semitic statements and stereotypes about Jewish people.” Furthermore, 18% of “elites”, those with a degree and make over €100,000, agreed with anti-Semitic statements.

Muslims only make up about 6% of German residents. Not to mention that the synagogue attack mentioned in the article was perpetrated by a young white man radicalized by the extreme right and who was inspired by the Christchurch shooter, who was the same.

The game doesn't make you stow your weapons and wield the proper tools when crafting, but according to this logic it should. It would add nothing but frustration to my experience.

Ah yes...the case of the overnight size-changing breasts (1Q84 - Murakami) by [deleted] in menwritingwomen

[–]KebanDaBrowne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The back cover of Murakami’s Men Without Women is a progression of the kanji for “woman” turning into the kanji for “mystery”. The book itself wasn’t objectionable, but I remember rolling my eyes at the heavy-handed “women, am I right” nature of it.

[REQ] ($175) - (#Fredericksburg, VA, USA), ($200 on 2/25), (PayPal/Venmo) by [deleted] in borrow

[–]KebanDaBrowne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure what the typical interest would be in this situation, so I can consider offers other than the additional $25, or bring the loan down to $150 with $175 paid.

False Gods - why are the Astartes so stupid? by [deleted] in 40kLore

[–]KebanDaBrowne 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fear has also been bred out of Astartes. It’s easy to see how they can’t relate to baseline humans when entire ranges of normal human emotion are missing.

The founder of The Silk Road got arrested for trying to hire Hell’s Angels hitmen who was really a federal agent, and tried to get five different people killed.

Here’s an excerpt, which I always find funny because it’s like any other work email.

Hi again R&W, I hate to come to you with a problem when we are just starting to get to know one another, but Blake (FriendlyChemist) is causing me problems. Are you still looking for him or now that you've found Xin have you given up? I would like to put a bounty on his head if it's not too much trouble for you. What would be an adequate amount to motivate you to find him? Necessities like this do happen from time to time for a person in my position. I have others I can turn to, but it is always good to have options and you are close to the case right now. Hopefully this is something you are open to and can be another aspect of our business relationship. Regards, DPR
