I’ve only played the first installment of the series and I admit it always felt too fast and hectic for me. Somehow, I always viewed it as a heist game and not as car jacking game.

I’ll gladly admit cassowaries are 1) awsome 2) scary 3) capable and willing to kill a human but they are not on the same category birds of terror were.

Yes, cassowaries are modern dinossaurs, as in birds, but not birds of terror.

p.s

After writting and reading what I wrote, I realized I played myself.

Cassowaries are in fact birds of terror; I’d probably end dead and soiled if I ever crossed paths with one, and nothing says things would happen in that exact order.

But cassowaries are definitely not Terror Birds.

Most people do.

Strangely enough, we seem to forget the Terror Birds were a thing.

Just look at a chicken. They are just waiting for an opportunity to bring those recessive genes back.

There’s wisdom to be found in any book. What someone gains from any source depends entirely on them.

If a person is to read the most hatred filled book ever written in human kind history and set it down saying everything in it is wrong, even when the book was pourposefully written to spread and instill it, that person is bigger than the book and became bigger after reading it.

So, please, don’t be so hasteful on labelling someone as delusional just because they take comfort on something you personally disregard as useful.

The problem arises when someone says the way they understand a given source is the only right one.

This is going to be a blast.

LMDE or plain Mint. Or just go for Debian.

I already addressed that issue on another reply and I manage to disagree and agree with your position.

It took me some time to order my thoughts on this. It would be easy to go for a knee jerk reaction but your reply deserves a proper answer.

Let’s see if I can do what I want.

I’m going to start by repeating myself: ignorance is dangerous.

You made me remember an article I once read where it was denounced the practice of an insurance company of using clients zodiac signs to calculate risk. It ended in court and ridicule, obviously. Or thankfully.

I personally enjoy astrology. Strangely enough, it was what triggered me in my fascination for psychology. And if the historical context for what zodiacs/totems were originally for, which was to serve as a guide for an individual’s life and moral decisions, is taken into account, then those symbols acted as such: symbols, archetypes, with good and bad traits or inclinations, to which the individual under its influence/guidance could tap or should avoid in order to make the best path they could build in life.

Balance. The choice is on the individual.

The way astrology, religion, pseudo science, science denial, etc, becomes dangerous, in my understanding, comes from the moment an individual chooses to relinquish their personal agency to instead allow something they do not understand decide over their lifes - and of others, by extension - unquestioned and unreasoned upon.

It is extremely hard to take up the sole responsibility of the outcome of one’s decisions. Religion offers that escape through the means we are painfully aware. And because making a religion out of anything is easy, it is easy to find a escape for one’s personal responsability.

I can’t imagine what decisions Reagan took under astrology guidance; just the notion is ridiculous enough make me smile. He should have been laughed out of office, for that alone. But considering a country has the representatives it chooses, the US got what they chose.

Like I always say: be free to believe whatever you want, just keep it to yourself.

I hope I’m getting where you are pointing at.

No, I don’t like how this kind of events play out but for all that is worth, it can not be allowed for groups that espouse extreme ideologies to even gather the smallest of support.

Democracy as been shown, countless times, it is a very fragile system, vulnerable to players willing to manipulate and distort it in order to achieve personal gains, at the detriment of a large majority.

These far right groups prey upon the insecurities of the masses, create and steer the exact narrative to create distrust and obfuscate real issues and preveny people, either by force or by erasure, to raise doubt or demand proof of their claims.

Let’s be tolerant, but let’s not be tolerant with those who are intolerant.

That’s a generalization, not an example. What does that even mean or tries to mean?

Astrology? Of all things, why point fingers at that? Give me one example on why it may lead to dangerous conclusions.

Ignorance is dangerous.

Another line of thought: this is severe negligence, leading to death. Throw this guy in jail for homicide.

That uniform was anything but.

I respect this guy’s work. District 9 is a goid movie. Gran Turismo was very enjoyable to watch. Then there is Chappy and Elisium, which hit hard as well.

I’ve read the book. I’ve seen the original movie.

Considering the track record of the man, I want to risk conditions are met for a good movie to be created. I seriously doubt it will be agreeable to everyone, considering the book deals heavily with fascism and authoritarianism.

If we get a good action film with a very hard undertone of social and political critique, we’ll be very fortunate.

I am opposed to drafting just as much as any other but considering the country is under a war to essentially keep existing, there should not be any reason for those elegible to fight to run.

What is the option against an enemy that does not see this people as such, is known for butchering people in taken areas and that has made clear nothing besides total capitulation will suffice? Hope they will get bored and go away?

Hey! Riding the Battle Cat in the first panel, then a jet rider on the second!

Thank you for the insight. I respect it but nonetheless those are features completely indiferen to me.

Can someone explain me what are the cloud saves for and achievements?

What is the point of gamifying a game?

High voltage: Whires? What are those?
