Free Palestine

Just wondering, how many ballistic missiles fired at civilian ships completely unrelated to the conflict does it take for the Houthis to redeem the "Palestine is free" voucher?

I thought GameFAQs was owned by CBS/Paramount lol.

Nope it's owned by Fandom now so the ads are even worse and mobile is awful without a blocker because of the videos and full screen ads

Unlike the sequel, basically any PC can run Dragon's Dogma

Most of the people at WoTC who helped them with BG3 were laid off by Hasbro.

I'm sure that plays a major factor into why they decided to move on from DnD.

I wonder if issues with Hasbro were part of the obvious issues the game had with development later on. Having followed the game and its datamines from early access there were pretty obvious huge rewrites sometime after 2021 and some of then seemed to happen pretty late, devs were talking about the Upper City and how amazing it was to explore just a few months before it came out and then at release that was almost completely cut out and a bunch of parts of the story had to be adjusted to compensate.

Overall Hasbro/WotC has given the impression of being incredibly unpleasant to work with especially in the past few years.

I agree, I just think that when the window lapsed without an attack they may have dropped their guard.

There would be a certain irony to this when the US claimed well in advance that Russia was going to invade Ukraine in mid February 2022 and when that passed they mocked the US for fear mongering about a non-existent invasion like a week before they actually invaded

We have no idea what precautions were or werent taken.

I'd imagine the precautions were among the lines of "tell our citizens that there is no danger and the Americans are lying to scare us so we can maximize casualties and use that as justification for expanding our war machine" like the 1999 bombings

Also a reminder that back in 1999 Putin had 300 people killed and 1000 injured in apartment bombings in a blatant false flag to justify the Second Chechen War. Multiple devices were also found in Ryazan and the people arrested for planting them turned out to be FSB agents who were freed without charges because "actually it was just a training exercise"

or the Russian government did this themselves as a false flag

This is probably the most likely one because Russia is apparently planning another wave of mobilizations for an assault on Kharkiv. Very convenient that just after the "election" there's a sudden terrorist attack so they can justify sending thousands more to die in what would be their biggest city battle so far in the name of revenge.

I wonder if the tactic of hiring prisoners for meatwave assaults is starting to backfire when they survive and make their way back into society

I think getting caught by a radar detector-detector is less of a risk than them pulling you over for speeding and seeing the radar detector itself, IIRC at least older models were pretty conspicuously visible on top of the dashboard.

I live in Maryland but drive in Virginia a lot and it's not worth risking an additional fine, VA is already pretty trigger happy when it comes to slapping people with reckless driving charges.

If I'm getting this right, that studio didn't manage to make a single game before getting shut down.
That's a new record for EA, usually they bleed them dry like they did to Pandemic first.

Makoto is an obnoxious Mary Sue and I hate how the game bends over backwards to make her look good right down to other members of the cast becoming noticeably dumber after she joins so everyone can say "wow Queen, you're so smart!"

Ohya is a bro and is overhated and underrated. She constantly tries to sneak you drinks, Lala-chan is there, and at rank 10, she takes you yo a beautiful romantic view of the city, cooks you a full course meal and her apartment, and then fucks your brains out. She knows how to treat a man >_>

You said this every single time anyone criticizes Ohya and it doesn't stop her from being one of the worst love interests in the game, let alone across all the confidants

Honestly, I'm almost surprised none of the folks have tried to use "but nukes" yet.

That comes later, we've cycled back to "the war is only going on for the west's profit" and "maybe bringing back Soviet rule over a country they repeatedly massacred isn't that bad" that reads like Republican comments on making the best of being raped

Too bad that Putin is not Hitler and Russia is not Germany. Or else I don't see you signing up for the invasion?? Wake up. The world doesn't work that way anymore.

Yeah, instead he's LITERALLY compared himself to Peter the Great while performing a Stalin speedrun, that's so much better when you look at how many of its own citizens the Soviet Union killed in the 1930s.

closetjpopfan posted...

Nah, instead of asking myself that, I'd much rather ask each parent if they'd rather have their children back. Widows their spouses. Orphans their parents.

You wanna ask that to the thousands of families that had their children kidnapped and shipped off to remote parts of Russia while Russians are settled into Ukraine? This is an exact repeat of Soviet-era tactics which is why there just happen to be large Russian minority populations in former Soviet republics.

just accept genocidal colonization from a country that once deliberately manufactured a famine that killed over 4 million of your people bro, it's not the end of the world

The dude's kinda right tbh. Ukraine is just scraping by. It's getting pretty clear now that no other external powers are going to directly back them up and it's also getting pretty clear now that Russia isn't going to just stop.

Don't worry Chamberlain, surely Hitler will stop at Czechoslovakia and won't invade Poland. Appeasement definitely works.

ALIEN_WORK2HOP posted...

or maybe he is just saying what nobody wants to hear?

what are the chances of Ukraine taking back their territories at this point? EU support is divided, US support is unsure. Even with the support of the last two years, Ukraine seems to only ever get what they need to survive but not to win. I don't see that changing.

I get the feeling that western leaders prefer to see the conflict freeze because they don't want to deal with the consequences of one side winning it.

The only realistic ending to the conflict is a cease fire, Russia takes what they have and the rest of the world needs to wake the fuck up and realize that the good guys don't always win if they stick their thumbs up their asses.

How did this work out after Russia annexed South Ossetia and Abhkazia in Georgia, Crimea in Ukraine and then funded a civil war for a decade, then invaded with the rhetoric that Ukraine's entire existence is a century old mistake?

You're exactly the kind of useful idiot the Kremlin loves.

invent my sewer

Please do not engage with the CCP shill

Has the IDF done anything on par with what we saw in Bucha? There was some really depraved shit that Russian troops did to civilians and I'm not just talking about executions and airstrikes.

here we go again

wonder if they'll spin this one as their own air defense shooting their planes down again since that is apparently less humiliating than admitting Ukraine is getting sneaky with driveby Patriot launches
also notice they just conveniently forgot about the IL-76 shootdown since they couldn't provide any actual proof of the supposed prisoners onboard

He's saying the other party members are obsolete but outside of party switching in the GBA and later releases those five are the only party members playable after the Giant of Babil

PowerOats posted...

I feel like once you get the 5 I listed in the title, the other characters become obsolete. I only used the other characters if I had to

I'd imagine that has something to do with those five being the only party members at the end of the game

wow nice detective skills tc

sure thing Russia shill
right on time to defend Tucker

I've been doing some thinking, and I've got some ideas to improve the cast.
One: Makoto needs to be smarter, bossier, and have access to a motorcycle persona.
Two: When Makoto's not on screen, all other characters should be commenting on how much smarter Makoto is.

No annoying people

but Makoto is a major character

Makes sense, their Japanese releases have generally been self-published and I can't imagine From being thrilled that their newest properties weren't under their control

The world should have pressured for his release. We should have gotten him out

bro he got poisoned in an assassination attempt and when he was recovering in a German hospital because Russia wouldn't treat him, he was charged with contempt of court for missing a hearing
they weren't going to just let him go, they were absolutely planning on killing him from the beginning

McSame_as_Bush posted...

I wonder if this will lead to protests or if Russia is too far gone.

If the fact that Putin has rewritten the constitution to allow himself to be president for life and several hundred thousand soldiers have been killed or maimed in a genocidal war wasn't enough to do anything, this certainly won't.
