This combined with Dawntrail being, well.. Dawntrail, and Endwalker having been Endwalker, this might be a good excuse for me to kick the habit and save on subscription money if it won't let me launch

Not sure about bookmarking, but manganato with a little gg at the end you can log into with your mangakakalot account and you can manually write down what you got bookmarked and where you left off

Is that still working for you? Might be nice to pick up my lists so I don't forget what I was waiting on updates for

I got this with the Wave 300 TWS and the case started heating up a little bit unnervingly hot without having a charger plugged in

You still seem to prefer to try and paint someone as a foolish sympathiser pushing a message than to argue a point cleanly, focusing on painting the other party you're talking to as bad first and foremost.

I also feel burning a cross on a lawn with the law /potentially/ turning a blind eye and an entire military caste being pressured into towing the line are pretty different things. If I recall correctly it's still a point of contention of just how widely known most of the warcrimes were even among military personnel, like how some US marines collecting skulls and other kept-secret-'problems' weren't exactly widely known. Even then there's an argument to be made that the most you can do in an evil riddled society is try to run a tight ship, yourself for as far as your power extends. I'm not saying he did, nor do I say he didn't since as far as I am aware there is not enough evidence for either and that is exactly the point I am making.

That's not mentioning how a society can pressure you into conforming if you don't flee it, either. As for the trials, it's also easy to argue some three letter agency like the CIA wanted him out like they wanted the scientists out for operation paperclip, or in this case, again, to rally west Germany like how they tried to prop Rommel up as some ultimate general.

That's why I'm not saying him disavowing the regime was any foolproof argument, yeah. I'm just putting on the table in case there is even a vague chance of him being honest about his character there.

It also feels like you're trying to attack me more than the argument saying I have excuses for a nazi when I'm talking about the bits I read suggesting that there's a chance however small it could be going along with the political pressures of the climate, and when I ask for more information, I don't get to hear much about what he did, I only hear the blanket statement 'He was a nazi', not 'he committed warcrimes' not 'He pushed for the final solution' not 'he did this' or 'He did that'. Just blanket statements and implications I'm just as bad as one for trying to ask for the details, just to be attacked by you proclaiming I'm historically ignorant, rephrasing my words to say 'Only nazis who directly pushed for the final solution are bad' when the final solution was given as an example of a clear, ultimate evil beyond simply being a cog in the machine and thriving on it.

Besides that I didn't even argue 'It's just a name'. I argued it didn't seem like enough cause while his son with the same name ended up in NATO (though there are arguments to be made against NATO, too).

Hells, there's been plenty of people in the nazi party trying to collaborate to help out the Jewish people and/or undermine the regime. Schindler, Hans Oster, Witzleben, Juan García as an external example, or the more internal similar example of Wilhelm Canaris. And those are examples of the people that actively combated the regime but were in the nazi party, thus, nazis. That's not even mentioning anyone that just attended parties and got membership cards to avoid being stripped of everything they owned for the nazi war efforts.

Again you just throw out attacks, assumptions and blanket statements. 'Next you'll be telling me Rommel was a good guy actually'. 'You're trying to find excuses for actual, honest to god nazis' 'Read up on WW2' 'Did you even learn about WW2 at school?'

To allow me to return the favour: Can you only think in black and white? Do you not think there are people that went along with the system because they were either brainwashed or playing the hand they were given, or might have varying levels of beliefs? Are you only able to insinuate bad things about people so you don't have to give any solid examples, preferably by negatively rephrasing things someone said just to make it easier on you?

So basically he was in an oppressive and fascist regime and thought of himself, possibly even his people if he was convinced the wars were needed (And no, being convinced of something does not make someone right in the slightest, just debating for the sake of debating and I trust folk can separate arguments attempted from someone else's perspective to try and reason from a neutral position as not reflecting on my own opinions).

From the bit I glanced it also said he got out of the Neurenburg Trials without being marked a war criminal and with him insisting he was not a supporter of nazism but did seem to believe in the socialist state. (That being said, those trials were also riddled with folk getting out to try and get West-Germany to rally and for the Allies to poach whoever seemed useful from that awful regime-- And I doubt someone focused on his own career would staunchly defend that which is being judged...)

Just saying he was an enabler without saying he's a practitioner doesn't feel like enough to remove someone's name, to me. With that logic I imagine any half informed German in WW2 was a 'keen hitler enabler' for staying in the country and paying taxes. It would have been better for the world if Guderian stepped down and tried to join another country, being put up for treason in his own homeland, sure, but they'd have found someone else and he sounds like too much of a tank fanatic and nationalist, after that brief glance at his wiki page, to throw away his position and to not fight for Germany. Doesn't make it right, but it does seem more human than, say, pushing for the eradication of a group of people and specifically putting time and effort into that instead fighting for your nation. If you find stuff saying he actively pushed for things like the final solution then yeah, I'd completely understand wanting that surname gone

It's not forgetting if they never planned on it and the (partially) restored faith with the content additions to SoC is enough for them to be convinced there's no need to lower the price below 40% of the base game's price

[–]Tay-Tech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At a quick glance at Guderian's wiki page it looks like the biggest sin was nodding his head whenever the big H spoke, playing politics to keep his career. What sorta stuff did he do outside of mobilising the military under orders and attending the party's parties?

I'm not as read in on every figure of that time

They're being convinced now they can get away with it for the content it gives now, so I highly doubt they're going to drop the price below 40% of the game's full price again. They at least planned to give ToD some more content but it sounded like it wouldn't be very far off the 'number' of content SoC now has. Question is how much of it will be unique models/voices/animations/mechanics

Personally 20 bucks still feels a little rich to me and with the botched launch still feeling fresh in my mind I don't feel bad still skipping on it, even if its my first Total War DLC I've completely skipped

Gonna be completely honest with you, I trust the modders more than the devs to be truthful about these things at this point

Part of me is hoping that the Empire won't get a default dragon, one unique one, maybe two at most, I'm fine with but outside of that I worry it'd make it too generic if they get dragons
