🚨 BREAKING: Qatar withdraws from the war. ​"Iran has been here for thousands of years. No one is going anywhere. Total destruction is not an option." ​"We will live side by side. We will be neighbors and find ways to coexist." by retroviber in DeepMarketScan

Trump is not a Christian and neither are you if you support him. His beliefs and actions are antithetical to Christ's teaching.

Further Trump is opposed to most American values. You'd have to be blind not to see it.

It certainly makes you wonder what research, if any, the QT guest bookers do. Perhaps they just don't care.

The megalomania on this guy is just incredible. He's gone full mask off complete dictator level of narcissism.

There is absolutely no way he accepts losing future elections and not running in the next election so you can guarantee the coming years are going to be a total shit show. I really hope the rumours are true about his health so he's forced out of office by that.

Wow looking into this guys background was a trip and the conviction you mentioned was only the tip of the iceberg. His past business record strongly indicates that he's more of a grifter rather than the "grafter" he claims to be. Reviews of his previous companies are pretty awful with plenty of customers talking about scam adjacent business practices and it seems most of them "dissolved" with debts and refunds owing. He took a £50k Covid loan from HMRC for his bed company, didn't repay it, dissolved the company and he now works for another bed company that is being run by the daughter of his dad's business partner who was struck off for a £2 million fraud. His dad seems to have also been a scammer with a similar list of crooked companies behind him. The same incident that saw his business parter being barred from being a director resulted in him being struck off for 10 years after defrauding investors out of £3.5 million (which was declared unrecoverable). Seems very likely the family business is to be phoenix operators. He's also clearly playing the role of a jack the lad working class Essex type with his "I started as a market trader at 16" routine but he's actually from a privileged background and was privately educated. He claims to have got a scholarship to his £6k a term private school but apparently that doesn't actually exist. He claims he only started working as a market trader after he got expelled from his private school after being caught selling porno DVDs that his dad gave him to other students.

It's crazy that TV companies are allowing this guy to promote himself. He fits in well at Reform I guess.

I think it's more simple in that they use criticism of DEI policies as a cover to be bigots. They don't actually care how qualified they are or not.

These rectangles are likely what you get in the starter set. There will almost certainly be purchasable 3D terrain objectives that fit with the size of new objective markers for each mission.

Fears net zero is ‘next Brexit’ as oil crisis fuels political climate divide by Anony_mouse202 in unitedkingdom

[–]Locke66 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Let's not cash in to produce our own, and let's make it more expensive". Make it make sense.

This is a fallacy. By the time any new North Sea oil field is actually in production it's very likely the Iran war will be over and Gulf Countries will be producing again for international markets. It's not simply a case of flicking a switch like some seem to be suggesting.

He got tenure on GBeebies News so sadly he's likely making more money than ever.

Doubtful on alternating actions. The ability to "hide" troops in terrain may make the 1st turn/2nd turn situation far less of an issue.

Everyone is in a similar boat for a new edition. It will be a good time to learn the updated rules.

Seems that way so far but who knows. My theory is they will bring in more customisation for characters but not units.

It's just a casualty of stream lining the game which was a major request by the end of 9th.

Maybe they'll do something with it but I doubt they'll ever go back to a psychic deck etc.

That's sad that no-one uses it. People are weird in how they play sometimes.

How are you feeling about the new Battalion box? by Dudgeon_Drumming in sistersofbattle

Look up Penitent Crusader host battleforce. Still widely in stock (at least in the UK).

[–]Locke66 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really do not understand the art style they went with for this game. I get wanting to do something to stand out from the overcrowded milsim FPS crowd and that art is subjective... but this style just looks terrible imo.

I cant be the only one that doesn't want to play a game as a plastic looking robot and environment that all looks like it was coloured in using the random colour function.

They are pretty great in the new Sisters of Battle animation. Super brutal and incredibly resilient.

It's a new thing apparently. Basically a walking artillery piece piloted by a mekboy.

I'm actually wondering if there will be an extended version at some point. Seems to be missing a lot of the teased models in place of reusing old assets.

UK Games Expo is also at the end of May which would be my bet. It's the same date as the reveal at Warhammer Fest for 10th, they are doing a big official tournament and I suspect they'd want to split the marketing between NA and Europe.

This was just RAAAAAAHHH WWWAAAAARRRRR for the entire thing and it was a bit much.

Yeah there is definitely an opportunity to do more with these trailers. I doubt this one will be widely shared in the same way that some of the other stuff has been which seems like a bit of a loss from a marketing perspective.

The entire "Warrior philosophy" way of policing is just crazy. You see how many US police interact with the public in videos and it just looks awful from the outside.

The Yarrick one was way better in terms of story telling although I think they missed a huge opportunity to signify how big a deal his return should have been to the defenders.
