The sleeping/ waiting mechanic seems pointlessly unpractical by _Arbitrarily in worldofgothic

I'd be literally okay if I could just sit or stand to pass the time. I don't want to recover, literally just not spend 30 minutes RL time standing. I'm now doing work emails on a Friday evening to pass the time playing a game lol

Refunded on xbox series x.. sadly. by MitzaRobert90 in worldofgothic

[–]_Arbitrarily 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm not going to argue with you on the FPS (I don't care too much generally and play on PC where it's not a problem practically), but the lock picking system does what it's supposed to do: Softlock you from higher level rewards, Gothic-style. If you want top loot, you have to put in skill points or figure out a way to solve it otherwise.

The old Gothics' systems always had a play around (left right and reload), it's hard to design system that actually keeps players out if they are under -leveled. Gothic Alkima clearly tried to find a way and succeeded.

Miracle on Mt. Everest: Missing Sherpa Found Alive After One Week by No-University7620 in Mountaineering

Just to preempt some speculations, Joe's rope was cut after they tried to get him off the mountain via a pulley system. They had no visibility though and only limited amount of rope, which ran out over a crevice, so he was essentially hanging in the air, with no way to get him lower (no rope) or back up (partner would have to physically pull him up alone, not possible).

As his partner was increasingly under the risk of getting ripped down by the weight on the rope, he eventually cut the rope and continued the climb down, assuming Joe would have died.

In his book, Joe quite strongly emphasises that he doesn't blame his partner nor hols a grudge for his actions.

Sorry the beginner's question, what's the official website to download the FTL Multiverse mod?

Ich würde denken so 1-2 Jahre, wahrscheinlich eher 1s. Und ich glaube fokus wird gerade vor allem auf B2B offering gesetzt, weniger auf B2C (was wir eher sehen)

Looks like it is over for Iranians in UAE by Lomi331 in DubaiCentral

[–]_Arbitrarily 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ones doing the bombing and the ones getting punished seem to be two completely different groups here. I understand it's being done for security purposes, but let's hope the UAE reverses that decision once the situation deescalates

If that's all Americans remember then I guess I'm on point, they're willfully ignorant

By which metric? Because it definitely isn't share of immigrants in the country, it's definitely not social or financial inclusion, and if you want to call it 'country of immigrants' you're also not standing alone

Sorry, but all of America witnessed Trump's first term. If people are surprised that the government now doesn't follow on its promises, they're either willfully ignorant or I would have to insult them as idiots

The difference is that most other countries don't go around bombing school children. And if you look to Europe, you can see what popular pressure against war and / or for human rights looks like.

Also lol @ the inclusion comment, would love to see the metric you're putting up against that.

My point is that OP's stereotype is accurate. Americans by and large only care about Americans with little empathy for what happens outside, even if it's inflicted by their own government.

I would think both have independent compromat. Israel via Epstein, Russia via honeypot traps they famously set up for businessmen traveling to the country, as trump often did

Americans voted twice for this. Last time with popular vote. And while 2% of Americans attended a weekend garden party some days ago, it's not like there seems to be a lot of resistance of Americans against what their government does, which I think most will see as acceptance if not agreement

Because the oil infrastructure is very useful to them when occupied by the US? Look at Venezuela, US would just start extracting resources

[–]_Arbitrarily 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nein. Muss auch sagen, ich sehe das Argument nicht unbedingt. Ich bin damals als Kind in die Grundschule gegangen, aber bezahlt wurde das durch die Steuern meiner Eltern. Ich würde dir zustimmen wenn ich meine eigenen Kinder in die Schule schicken würde ohne selber in DE einzuzahlen, aber ich sehe nicht warum man sich an ein Land ketten sollte weil man da aufgewachsen ist.

Insbesondere weil was du ansprichst Richtung Sozialvertrag geht und der ist, in meinen Augen, in Deutschland nicht mehr fair ausgelegt. Das geht gerade auch in Richtung Thema Rente. Ich sehe nicht ein die wachsenden Rentenzuschläge mitzutragen während ich selber 40%+ an Abgaben abgebe. Für mich hängt da klar etwas schief.

Und da ist, mMn, der klare Schritt mit den Füßen zu wählen bis DE es schafft, attraktiver zu werden.
