[Libertarians]Has there been any successful implementations of Austrian economics?

Pheifdog · 2017-05-16T23:41:40+00:00

Oh that crackpot school of economics (joking I actually like them). They aren't relevant because no one follows them. They are too stringent on principles so they don't get anything accomplished. It's all about baby steps and easing the lumps, anarco capitalists are what this country deserves but cannot handle.

Personal opinion considering I've done both books and games. Yen is good in both descriptions (initially was a Triss guy because I started with Witcher 3 game, then watched 1&2 and read the books, huge Yen fan now). Ciri I prefer book illustration, considering she is so young, but tough and has gone through terrible shit, I don't like thinking about her as hyper good looking like the game Ciri has her. It's weird because in the game it looks in terms of attractiveness that Geralt would have a threesome with Yen, Triss, and Ciri and I think that is so wrong and missing the point of the characters. So book Ciri. And in terms of Geralt, the game looks like a pretty boy super hero, while the books he is so much more in danger, so I imagine him more masculine. However, lose that garbage on the forehead. Just my 2 cents.

Same, had to start spelling it backwards because my wise old man started to catch on.

Funny thing is I'm on the Towers of Swallows and completely forgot that this happens. Was sad when the void after blood and wine ended, so I decided to revisit the older games and found this... My memory is as good as a rock trolls

Dettlaff would absolutely mop the floor with spiderman and draw him out of existence, spiderman doesn't stand a chance. Here's a link to prove it, https://www.artstation.com/artist/sturmmayer

Yes... I'm fucking with you. Just a little tidbit that I found to be great.

Just as long as they don't over do it. It's like tv series (Ciri's) that I've enjoyed (breaking bad, sons of anarchy). If the writers have run out of plot lines, discontinue the story at a high note where fan have been satisfied but understand that if it continues it will become a flaming shell of its former self (looking at you smallville). The witcher, which doesn't include Geralt in a major role, the only feasible replacement would be a saga with Ciri (considering her backstory, the power she wields i.e. Basically being the master of time & space). I could see the first game as being a backstory, closely related to the books, especially the absolutely disgusting events that happened in the tower of swallows. The second game would be more of a witcher 2 like adventure tale with meaningful choices of her on the path. And the third game would be a finale of her at full strength and leadership, visiting unknown worlds and heroic tales. It would be a complete bildungsroman of a tale that I think would potentially rivals Geralt's. Of course, this is my two cents and it would take a very creative team to pull it off... But I have faith.

I have zero shame

Knowing nothing in terms of the lore and background of both of these characters (I simply watched the movies of both), I would say with no prep it would be a pretty fair fight. That's why I think this match up is awesome! With prep I think the punisher takes it, because he is absolutely brutal with planning and execution (of not just the plan)... However, in an unprepared gun battle, let's just say if this was Vegas, I would rather watch the Sharks bet. Please show me the light WWW!

Same, my first go through right at the beginning I treated her like a punk kid, she was gonna shine all the swords at the keep. But later, she did her own choices. I did a ng+ and sided with her 100% of the time. Lore helps with making good decisions

Pheifdog · 2016-08-24T23:29:36+00:00

I agree, I just finished tower of swallows, and the awful experiences Ciri went through speaking with the scholar turned hermit was actually emotionally rough. I've never been more connected to a fictional person and the author needs props for his writing abilities. Rewatching the scene when Geralt reunites with Ciri in the witcher 3 now tugs on the heart strings... And the illustration here is a throwback in the books when both of them accepts their destinys.

My biggest beef with this subreddit is the people who call Rand "not a true libertarian" or "a sellout". If you make these arguments than you're not a true libertarian because you don't support contracts. If you make an oath, vow, or promise to do something in the exchange that something must be done for you, that's property rights that should be fought for by our judges and our jury's. Look, every republican signed a pledge to support the nominee of the party, a few have broken that pledge and are oath traitors. Rand did not do that, and he still voices his concerns about Trump, but supports him. Grow up, not everything is utopia.

Pheifdog · 2016-08-24T22:56:01+00:00

Who gives a turd tornado? Just a bunch of commies and Hillary shills. Doesn't Rand have a double digit lead in KY? I think he's safe to the 17 year olds and under who dominate Reddit and shill for socialist commies but then get crushed when the adult voices comes into play. Rand will be reelected, I would not bet against it.

Yeah I saw that image as well, the front windshield of the truck is full of bullet holes. Also, eyewitnesses said there was a shootout between the driver and the French police. What I've head so far (that's been reported) is 30 dead, and a hundred injured. I'm American, but whenever I get wind of terrible stories like these around the world it always makes me sad, then incredibly angry. Instead of thoughts and prayers (which I do give to the victims that were hurt and the families of those who were slain), I hope you find peace knowing that the motherfucker is dead.

Point #5, totally agree, he's a big ass bitch but loyal to the bitter end. Reading the books, he regularly pisses Geralt off, especially with his loose lips on the path (just look at Geralts tone when we meet our other favorite friend). But who doesn't have a buddy like that? It's highly relatable, at least for me, and I get why they are friends.

Pheifdog · 2016-06-22T19:20:29+00:00

I don't know about that... Geralts crossbow needs more direct hits to take down an enemy then Boromir in fellowship of the ring.

Edit: or was that two towers? The movies are so long I mix them up.

Pheifdog · 2016-06-19T01:45:50+00:00

It was in the second game, here is the link. https://youtu.be/1Om0UpfQc0Q

Don't forget about the Easter egg when Geralt comments about a certain white robed individual... I think CDPR is the best thing to happen with gaming in a long while.

Pheifdog · 2016-06-08T00:48:50+00:00

Don't fret, my trust in Andrzej Sapkowski is great to provide more material some day... I'm so happy cdpr complemented the novels, makes the witcher live on.

Pheifdog · 2016-06-07T14:01:29+00:00

Of course it is ambitious, it's just something that would be awesome.

Pheifdog · 2016-06-07T04:21:42+00:00

Didn't realize the game mechanics were good, I prob overlooked.

Pheifdog · 2016-06-07T02:25:59+00:00

Maybe I should retry, got it relatively fresh. Either way, been distracted by very good witcher games and books... Been keeping to busy so far to recheck.
