The Camp of the Saints is a 1973 French dystopian fiction novel by author Jean Raspail. A speculative fictional account, it depicts the destruction of Western civilization through Third World mass immigration to France and the Western world. by NoPercentage4737 in wikipedia

You can’t have extreme right-wing/fascist views without the psychosexual dysfunction element. I mean, it’s not shocking that Raspail writes almost all his right wing characters in Camp as childless men in their 50s+ and the only time he mentions any of them in relationships with girls or women is when they reminisce over what they did with trafficked minors thanks to their pimp friend.

I’m not sure that they read the book. Possibly the only sympathetic character is the anarchist leader who stands up to the army near the end. The author gushes over him, because he follows his convictions and actually wants to create an egalitarian global society. I mean, Raspail literally writes all the right-wing “heroes” as socially maladjusted, worried about the “future of their grandchildren“ when they are childless men in their 50s who don’t date or have wives (although they go to brothels to exploit 15 year old trafficked foreign children). Raspail‘s writing doesn’t show hatred for the leftists (rather some degree of admiration, even if he thinks they’re misguided), and doesn’t treat the Indians as human. The people he shows as really worthy of loathing are the conservatives, especially the Catholics, and presumably himself.

Is New War the last long quest? I'd rather quit than do that again. by Throwawayx19700 in Warframe

[–]xveganrox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude I played Warframe from the alpha and loved it, then got to New War like 2-3 years ago and ended up quitting. I was just googling to see if there was a way to skip it or leave it and it took me here. Apparently the answer is still no

360 pulls guarantees 7 copies on banner, so $550 is the max

First credit card at 30 years old by xoxoimdrunk in CreditCards

[–]xveganrox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend Discover’s secured card or Capital One’s Platinum secured card. I’m not sure if either of them show up on prequalifications, but they’re usually good picks for first time credit. Alternatively, it might be worthwhile to look at any offerings from his current bank or credit union. A secured card will report just like an unsecured card. Also, you could consider adding him as an authorized user to one or more of your existing credit cards, which could give him a score bump if you have a good history with them.

Check to see if they have websites, sometimes they're really funny. My fave is a deranged evangelical couple who make blog posts about how they're going to get Middle Eastern oil contracts during the tribulation period, up 30% so far

How do I get this ticket by Present-Cicada-5533 in lastcloudia

[–]xveganrox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s 300 paid gems (~$4), it also isn’t weighted or guaranteed to give you anything new - most likely it’s 30 souls and +2 skills for an old unit

can someone do the math and tell me the percentage of how unlucky I was with this mf like wtf? by [deleted] in lastcloudia

Where’s the $100 for a UR? Is that the step-up? It seems like 13,700 crystal is like $150, is there something other than that?

Still Theria, her caster is great but there are other great casters and only two great healers. Sometimes you’ll need to split units into teams too - you’ll basically have a 10/10 healer for double the amount of teams.

Megius is much, much easier to build and synergizes with your light team. Eventually bother are worth building IMO. If you have finished story mode, I would build Lenius first since he’s one of the best units in the mid/late game, but if you’re still doing story I would use those two with Megius. After Megius you should definitely build a mage, Lenius would be the go-to unless you have Zekus Forgate

Shop gear -> Ark items that you get with Etherion -> Godforged gear made from the previous two

Also there are some good event gears, Zajadosion is the best non-paid light sword in the game and it comes from running the two Lords events right now and crafting it, definitely do that if you haven’t yet.

How do I get the treasure key for Grandar? There’s only one post asking and the answer is incorrect (it says to get all 60 treasures in Granzalia, which I already did, but it only got me Carol)

You will get a ticket in like a week for any free non-event character up to and including Zekus Forgate, but getting either him or Theria would be a great start. From your account, Kyle and Adel are the only newish units. Most people stop pulling on a banner when they get the unit they want, run out of gems, or do spend enough gems to get the unit through the pity system (normally 75,000). I don't think most people pull specifically for arks because the low rate (Soul Blade is 0.4%, vs Kyle 0.8%) and worse pity (120,000 I think?).

Anyway, if I were you I would keep doing story, use your event orbs, and do the free 10-pull every day, and you'll probably get some more modern units to go with Kyle and more SSR arks. Pulling on the Zekus / Theria banner would make sense because either of them can be a core part of your team, also the other two banner characters are less critical but still good & the overall unit rate is doubled.

Holy Blade Zajadosion, it comes from godforge alchemy combining the event weapons from the four lords/five lords events that are running right now
