Hey, so I side with Ukraine in the current conflict, but in general I’m somewhat of a NATO sceptic and really not a fan of US foreign policy. I was curious about the information you provided, but honestly, in contrast to what you claim, it seems to me that you have not explained most of your points. Yeah there’s been a clear political divide in Ukraine, but it requires an enormous leap of logic to see that as justification of the Russian invasion. Yeah NATO sucks in many ways, and it and Ukraine too have done some shitty things, but again, there seems to be absolutely no sensible argument for any of that to have justified the invasion.

I haven’t watched the French documentary yet, in case any of your arguments relied on it. A quick online search on the journalist does mention several untrue pieces of Russian propaganda that seem to be mentioned in the documentary, though. Any chance you could explain more, or is this lack of explanation all there is for someone curious to understand why the war is happening?

To be fair, “game of the year” feels like it’s meant to measure popularity, while “most innovative” sounds like it shouls measure how innovative a game is, which is perhaps why the two awards get such different reactions.

Definitely Jusant. It was just such a perfect game for me when I played it, chill but engaging in exactly the way I needed it, and something about the story just went straight into my heart unlike any other!

This article is about the author’s personal relationship to E3 and how it reminds him about unhealthy work habits he has, which he also thinks are commonly occuring in games journalism.

I think it’s very fair not to like the article, I wasn’t overly interested in it myself, but honestly I can’t help but disagreeing with the negativity directed towards the author in many of these comments. Go ahead and dislike the point of the article, but making a uncharitable reading about the author just seems silly to me.

Ah, good point, I really should keep that mind when I reach level 9, that sounds really fun. Thanks a lot!

Thanks, I’ve only looked briefly so far but it does seem like an interesting read!

Ahh, okay! Our Warlock has some utility, but it does feel like we could use more of that, maybe that’s something I should look more into! I think perhaps I haven’t been thinking much about control, but we’ve had a few rough fights recently and I realise now that it actually could be very useful. Just recently a couple enemies ran away to get reinforcements, if I hadn’t only been thinking about damage I could have maybe put them to sleep. Really thanks a lot!

Thank you, that sounds like some very good advice! I’ll have to take a closer look at the spell list, I think it’s just like you say and that I’ve been focusing too much on the combat spells. I’m a Tiefling with Urchin background in case that gives any more context :)

Personally I hated the game the first couple of hours before I discovered the autopilot, because I was dying too often too achieve anything interesting. Then I discovered it, and then actually learned to fly, and since then I just loved the game. Maybe consider if you might be in a similar situation, or if maybe it’s just not your thing!

Yeah, I see what you mean. And no worries, I understand your frustration, it’s all good!

I understand the comic wouldn’t make sense, but it does seem I misunderstood your comment, so I’m sorry about that! When you write “if God were real” I just assume that you also meant indulgences would work in that case. But yeah with more context I see you didn’t mean to imply that

You seem to imply that carbon offsets actually work, and while I’ve heard some do, I also had the impression that most don’t

I have a FP4 and I’m very happy with it! It’s a little chunkier than my last phone, but I think it works great. I haven’t needed to repair it yet, but just knowing that I can is awesome. I never was one for the absolute cutting edge of smartphones, so I can’t really tell you how it compares to those, but the camera is more than enough, and everything feels as new as it needs to be!

I had some issues with occasional ghost touches before, as someone else mentioned, but they seem to (finally) have patched them out just a couple of weeks ago :D

Very on-point critiques of Europe, if we don’t better ourselves it will not only be hard to get other parts of the world to take us seriously, but we will also allow a lot of nasty shit to happen.

Speed Racer (2008)! The Wachowski sisters directed it after the Matrix trilogy, and the silly and over-the-top aesthetics seem to have put of many, but I think it’s a genuinely fun movie with great themes and some awesome emotional moments.
