Theyre very subtle lmao. I mean technically she had a different move list but they play almost the same

Unless were getting Viola Amy, in which case sign me up

Amy had a similar weapon as Raphael and superficially looked similar but they played very differently. Especially since Amy was actually good, which is something Raphael has really never been able to claim.

Raphael serves a very important purpose, which is to teach new players how to reliably parry.

In other words, it's business as usual. There is no need to be upset about that.

Can you really not see how not making a big deal out of this now causes problems when every other publisher starts doing it too? You gotta fight this stuff early while they're testing the concept, because once it's in every AAA game (see: lootboxes, preorder bonuses, day 1 DLC, a bunch of deluxe editions, etc) it's a lot harder to remove.

I might be giving EA too much credit, but I feel like they would not falsely advertise their collector's editions and tell people to eat shit when called out on it.

Although EA is also a pioneer of the "collector's edition that doesn't come with the actual game" bundles

why do we care what the Iranian government does with a rapist again?

Pretty sure it's considered a human rights violation to deport people back to their home nations if we know their home nation is going to prosecute them on the grounds of their religious affiliation. Don't quote me though, I'd have to take a few seconds and actually double check.

This. You can't deport someone to somewhere if you have evidence that they would face death due to their personal circumstances. In this case, being an open christian in Iran poses a real risk to his life if he were to return, so they would treat it like a death sentence, which is banned in the UK.

Your title is misleading. The judge ruled the case should be reheard.

The judge ruled in his favor. The court of appeals suggested they appeal:

But after his release from prison, a judge ruled that his claim to be Christian meant his deportation to Iran would be a breach of his human rights.

The judge, who acknowledged that the man's religious conversion was part of a ploy to avoid deportation, ruled that his 850 twitter posts quoting the Bible and Christian theology placed him at risk of persecution if he was sent back to Iran.

This month the Court of Appeal ruled that the whole case should be reheard.

Lord Justice Simon said: 'In these circumstances, I would allow the appeal; and remit the case to the Upper Tribunal for AM's appeal to be considered in the light of this judgment. I would also add that directions should be sought as to the admission of any evidence and further specific submissions on the Twitter issue.'

But what if the prosecutor were to offer the president an alternative. What if he were to say he would let the children walk if the old man does the same? That would mean giving up the presidency in exchange for acquittals all around not just for himself, but for all his kids.

I mean... are they really taking the approach of "If we can't get him, we'll just target his kids until he gives in?"

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/12/15/iranian-asylum-seeker-raped-17-year-old-spared-deportation-due/

An Iranian asylum seeker who raped a teenage girl has been spared deportation even though a judge believed his conversion to Christianity was a deliberate ploy to cheat the justice system.

The judge said: 'In all the circumstances, I am satisfied that the appellant has established that there is a real risk that on his return he would be questioned about the details of his asylum claim and that that questioning would reveal that he has posted on Twitter......(and) interrogation would involve a real risk of ill-treatment amounting to a breach of article 3.'

The immigration tribunal judge said it didn't matter that his conversion to Christianity was not genuine because the Iranian authorities would still be able to read his pro-Christian tweets.

The telegraph isn't the most neutral site, but media bias fact check claims their factual reporting is HIGH so I'm going to presume here that the story is in fact real. I'm willing to accept corrections though if someone finds a source that contradicts this one.

Yes because once you reach the point of needing to farm them that's all you'll have left to do anyway before new content next year. So if you continue to play the game you'll be doing them anyway.

Most of the stuff in the store never seems to leave so there's no rush. If you're impulsive and can't control yourself (which is what these companies count on) then that's a you problem.

So your argument is that the items don't cost too much because farming them up is meant to hold you over between actual content drops?

I'm saying they don't cost too much because with a little bit of effort and patience you can easily earn them for free just by playing the game. The grind isn't terrible and a lot of the challenges do fit into "normal" gameplay so it adds up naturally for the most part.

Like I said, if you're a little Veruca Salt then that's a you problem and deserve to get fleeced.

and by a little bit of effort and patience you realize we're talking about 10-20 hours of what you admittedly call boring content, right?

Probably no. Nobody knows for sure other than Nintendo, but it's unusual for DLC to transfer across accounts, and even though it's free it is still DLC (that hypothetically will be purchasable at a later date). Act under the assumption that the account you register it to will be the only one to get it.

Well okay... so are people saying the UK are the bad guys here? Or is it case where both sides have valid reasons for their stance and nobody is the bad guy, because both are acting in their own self interests?

I don't think its about who is bad or who is good... The UK is on the losing end of the deal, though, and it's something they initiated which I think means they lost? AFAIK there's not a lot of internal dissent within the EU about what to do with Brexit, but there is a lot of dissent within the UK over how to deal with Brexit

I mean that makes sense, right (in terms of dissent)? The UK is the third largest financial supporter of the EU, so there's no real benefit to any EU country to them leaving. Meanwhile, Brexit was passed by narrow margins, so you've already got a divide among people who want to leave and stay.

arent atoms really easy to get

its weird to see people clog the boards with obsessive bitching about a game theyve never played

Do you play the game?

I do and confirmed that yes, Atoms are extremely easy to farm.

So how many hours do you think you'd have to play to get 1800?

Hmm... I'd have to do the math. I haven't come up with an efficient farming pattern yet because I haven't needed to.

Daily and Weekly Challenges give them once you've exhausted the achievement rewards (I still have a lot of those). I've seen daily/weekly challenges give up to +40.

So if they give up to 40+, lets assume 40 on average. That's 45 challenges. How long does it take on average to complete one?

A few minutes for some, others are more involved. They mostly revolve around events or killing enemies with certain weaponry. It's very easy just rather unengaging.

So you can farm up the atoms with something like 10-20 hours of easy, unengaging challenges that you don't do because they're boring to buy a simple paint job for your armor... and that's supposed to be some kind of compelling counter-argument to "in-game items cost too much"?

This is what he literally said, which is still stupid, but has no impact on my first post. He called SNL a Democrat spin machine and Dem commercials, but not news.

Dude, how in the fuck are you supposed to take:

It is all nothing less than unfair news coverage and Dem commercials

As anything less than him calling it news?

Because "and" is a word that serves a purpose. I didn't think I'd have to explain basic sentence structure, but here we go:
1. He has 2 subjects in his first sentence: "networks (like NBC)" and "Democrat Spin Machines (like SNL)"
2. In the second sentence, he has 2 direct objects as well: "unfair coverage" and "dem commercials"
3. If you put the two sentences together, you'll realize that like any basic set of sentences, "network" maps to "unfair coverage" and "spin machine" maps to "dem commercial". Subjects map to objects.

I expect either you'll take nibel's approach and just claim that "everything is news because he said coverage", or argue that Trump's English is so poor that "of course" that's what he meant even though that's not actually what he said.

And then, even though I already said it was a stupid statement, you'll continue to argue that somehow I'm defending him when all I did originally was state that SNL influences public opinion and in that sense he wasn't wrong.

He's not wrong that shows like SNL are where a lot of people happen to hear first about political events, and certainly the way they're cast shapes their opinion. Conservatives, for example, have long hated that every time Jon Stewart was asked to be held accountable for his role in politics his response was "we're a comedy show", and yet multiple polls found that The Daily Show was a primary source of news for many younger people.
