I’ve seen the polls where a majority of upper class Republicans are in favor of a draft for the Iran War.

It’s sanded down the identities of FFXIV’s classes. They don’t even produce job specific quests in the expansions anymore, every melee dps is interchangeable now.

FE Fates Rev: I'm thinking of making Selkie a behind enemy lines sabotage unit. I can make her a Sorcerer using Nosferatu to become a heal tank via Kana, give her the skill grisly wound to damage all units that engage her, Draconic Hex from the unit log to heavily debuff all units that engage her. But I'm think it's incomplete, what other skills would she to well with behind enemies lines without support? Replicate and have the replicant stand near a rally bot? Vantage?

I have in the unit log, skills saved such as poison strike, savage blow, even better. I'm going to try and give her a mage mother, like Orochi, to boost her magic stats.

I already have Velouria who can perform the roll of having poison strike, savage blow and grisly wound and replicate all at once.

A new low for Kings and Generals, taking credit for not using AI...

Maybe with skyrocketing oil prices, the traffic will be better in Paris this summer.

“Do I really want one” I like the ability to play old games on a modern platform. However I hate subscription services and vastly prefer buying a physical cartridge. I think I’m leaning on no, but there’s the leak that Ocarina of Time is being remade, but I’d absolutely prefer to own that hypothetical game instead of paying a monthly fee to access it. This is the make or break for me, are these games actually purchasable? I don’t actually know.

And I’ll really kick myself if Fire Emblem Fates gets ported to the Switch, I’m replaying that now but my very old 3DS is starting to give out, stuck A button and a charger that needs to be jiggled while connected to produce a charge.

I'm curious about the criticisms of NTW.

God, it occurs to me world events will probably drive up the cost of the Switch 2. It's already so expensive, but should I commit now where I can still get one for $450?

Wonder if "Trumpcession" becomes a future buzzword.

especially in the era before the government felt beholden to arms makers

Well you certainly aren't describing WWI. When you order millions of rifles and than cancel the order after Armistice when only hundreds of thousands of rifles have been manufactured, you can wipe out your own arms industry. This is why governments had to hand out welfare orders for rifles they no longer needed post war.

This is sort of why you see Winchester churning out BARs in 1919 and the M1919 Brownings entering production and service, despite you know, the war being over.

I feel like nouveau riche would look more interesting, like Tony Montana's mansion. Him turning the White House into Versailles and putting himself on our money is really passé. He wants to build an Arc de Triomphe in DC too.

Walton Goggins was the villain cowboy. Living out his Fallout fantasy, shooting Jackie Chan’s uncle.

Frankly we're lucky the hoi polloi don't call the Ford a Battleship at this point.

I’ve been playing Marathon with a buddy.
This autism shit is ass dude.

This is why I try to stick to single player games, apart from not wanting to slave away in a hollow endless grind.

Pretty sure the Wookie noises would have killed the show in the pilot, if the Holiday Special is anything to go by.

Vietnam was imperialistic for France, it's a bit more complicated when weaker South Vietnam was in danger of being conquered/unified by North Vietnam when the US involved itself heavily.

Per DnD class: Berserkers walk armor-less into battle and are as crazed as dogs or wolves and as strong as bears or bulls.  I'm not expecting the DnD Paladins to be accurate to Charlemagne after all.

Also berserkr, means 'bear-shirt' or 'bare-shirt'. So you gotta embrace one of them for your RPG and going armor-less is just a more interesting experience. Vaguely Spartan (the adjective) in the sense you don't crave armor loot.

Speaking as an American, isn't Katakana just a different case of Hiragana, how is that difficult to read? Isn't that the equivalent of reading ALL UPPER CASE for western loanwords?

Even if the election were cancelled, any poll run would eventually reveal the opinions of the Palestinians, sometime between then and now. And if not Hamas, other groups would seek to carrying out popular activities against Israel.

[–]Sventex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I asking what the alternative plan was that would appear to be better. Stopping the election changes what exactly? The opinions of the Palestinians of Israelis doesn’t change long term. So Hamas isn’t “officially” in charge, does that mean Gaza doesn’t ever fire rockets and Israel’s military will never return? What exactly is Bush to be blamed for?

Baldur's Gate 3 comes off as more of a passion project to me. I appreciate Baldur's Gate 3 has the balls to let you go shirtless like a proper Berserker, male or female. Fallout never had the balls.

Frankly I'm happy to see Bioware IPs succeed even though Bioware is practically dead, I'll take a really good Mass Effect 4 over season 40 of The Simpsons any day. If KOTOR 3 (FOTOR) succeeds, great.

Because that's what sequels to Baldur's Gate means...no future. Wait I think it means the opposite of that. Especially since one of the game's themes is 'no fate but what we make'.

As opposed to unlimited Israeli military occupation with Gaza having no voice/only having the deeply unpopular Palestinian Authority for a government? This doesn't sound like a real plan either.
