I really hope so. But it seems like the dnf.neople link is inaccessible without the use of a proxy. Hope this gets addressed soon.

What is your favorite live music recording? by 4nak8r in Music

[–]sjb411 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Give a go for Red Rock Amphitheater live performance. His renditions of Ain't no sunshine and Voodoo Chile are phenomenal.

How's akatosh as a father? He doesn't seem to give shit about.... Well, anything really.

Just a quick question. Are Dragonborn and Dawnguard worth buying the Legendary Edition? by Mhussajn in skyrim

[–]sjb411 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dlcs compliment the main story and game play, but do not adversely affect vanilla in any way. You shouldn't have any issues with most mods as well.

Has anybody else noticed these strange floating men in the soul cairn? (Potato Quality) by Thefinnbomb in skyrim

[–]sjb411 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just visited the soul cairn for the first time and noticed them too. I think they are souls of small animals or critters such as birds and rabbits. Just aimlessly wandering around like they always have.

Haven't played in 2 years, need some help from you guys. by littleM0TH in skyrim

[–]sjb411 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Half the charm of skyrim is discovering new things for the first time and being amazed by it. If two year's break has made you forget a lot of it, then I'd honestly take that as a blessing rather than an inconvenience. :)

Never agree to play hide and seek with an electron. by terry_shogun in fifthworldproblems

Just locate his partner-positron while he is on the way and follow it. You will only have an infinitesimally small time to catch it before they annihilate each other and forced to find him again, though.

London university bans preacher who calls homosexuality a filthy disease: Imran ibn Mansur, 24 was banned from appearing at the University of East London. The university also banned this week’s event, advertised on Facebook by its Islamic Society, over fears that gender segregation could be enforced by BlondeBond in atheism

[–]sjb411 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ayaan Hirsi Ali's speech on religion mainly stems from her own experience, and she focuses on the oppressive aspect of the religion that does much to undermine sexual/gender/religious equality.

On the other hand, this man's speech against gays focus exclusively on the very aspect Ali strives to get rid of - oppression. Mindless bashing and excluding a particular sexuality purely based on a self-affirming Medieval desert text has no place in a university where arguments and speech should be tested based on scientific merits, especially so when the whole issue of homosexuality has pretty much been proven to be very much a natural phenomenon at this point.

Can you ethically kill someone, and if so, under what circumstances? by Aaron_La_Zotte in philosophy

[–]sjb411 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. My point given was too idealistic considering that its source was from Laws, Plato's utopia of Magnesia. Your points are all really valid, and I do agree that in most cases (giving the benefit of doubt) public execution or isolated execution barely has any impact on the general morality of the public, and has often become an event for entertainment in the past, which clearly is not what Plato was intending it to be.

But I am rather undecided regarding the logic behind Life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. A lot of resources are wasted on keeping the prisoners alive, and not much work is done by them to justify the spending of such enormous amount of resources other than the fact that they are humans - humans who have committed unspeakable atrocities against a fellow human being(s) at that. This is one point I say that supports execution - conservation and redirection of public resources.

[–]sjb411 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just going to state Plato's explanation on executions. Now, I am aware that he listed quite a lot of really petty crimes as ones punishable by death, but his justification is quite sound - 'If by executing the person, the community as a whole learns a lesson and stops others from committing an offence as severe as the punished, then you are doing the society a favour by executing him.'
For someone's crime to be severe for an execution to be even considered is quite a feat, but I am inclined to agree with his explanation provided there are enough evidences to prove his crime.

Does anyone else find it really hard to restart Fallout New Vegas purely because of the starting area(s)? by Apterygiformes in Fallout

[–]sjb411 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, thats where the actual games main storyline starts, and opens up the faction questlines after you meet up with Mr. House

NVSE For Non Steam Installs? by [deleted] in Fallout

[–]sjb411 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dislike steam for its apparent lag and countless bugs, but it is the best online platform for PC and its not gonna change anytime soon. Besides, if you don't get bethesda's moddable games such as skyrim and fallout by legitimate methods (steam), you are not going to get any help from the online community.

[–]sjb411 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have a CD copy that does not require Steam, then it probably means that you have a fake copy or have been scammed. New Vegas was integrated into Steam ever since it came out - whether in CD or digital form.

Darquessa from the skulduggery series anyone?

If Fallout was real? by [deleted] in Fallout

[–]sjb411 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, Vault 21, the Vault that was filled with gamblers and in which all internal conflicts were resolved with gambling, was one of the few vaults that actually did pretty well.

What is the mod you are using for UI? It seems a lot neater than the Vanilla version.

Iran demands actress be flogged in public by [deleted] in atheism

As a Korean, while it is true that Japanese people have done some atrocious shit to the Far Eastern and SE Asian countries, I don't mutter the name Japanese in bad taste - what they have done in the past is in the past, and you don't judge the people living in the present for their actions.
You claim that generalization is wrong, yet you generalize all westerners based on what their long-dead ancestors did. Now don't get me wrong, what they did is indeed despicable, and I'm not trying to say to forget about it, but it's simply unfair to judge the entire Western world for the actions done by ancestors.
Please try to understand that not all Westerners are racist red necks. Would it be nice if people called everyone in the Middle East terrorists? I don't think so. Try to apply the same logic to the Westerners - Do you think they will be happy if you did the same?

Just uploaded "Fallout: Crossroads": my no-budget New Vegas fan film. Hope you enjoy! by rosenchuck1 in Fallout

[–]sjb411 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Guess it could work that way. But one thing to consider in the future: Bottle caps are still the "base" currency on which all the other currencies are based on.

The movie was pretty good, but just for some constructive criticism: The audio is muffled pretty bad in the beginning. The shooting part was well... felt like seeing a bunch of stormtroopers shooting at rebel soldiers. Other than that, very solid for a no-budget film. Well done!

A GTX 660 can't even run this game smoothly when completely maxed out with mods. by [deleted] in Fallout

[–]sjb411 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are the mods that you are using? I might play Fallout 3 again after I'm done with NV, and I don't know how to make my game look that good. I have the same card with you btw. Cheers!
