A little tangential to your point because it doesn't justify Israel's actions or anything, but there's a really good book I just wanted to share called Eternal Treblinka that explores the views of holocaust survivors in relation to animals, among other things. I imagine the person you talked with read this, but had some twisted takeaways.

“In relation to them, all people are Nazis; for the animals it is an eternal Treblinka.”

I think he was napping at the time, but she was a longtime smoker who insisted on Asmongold getting her cigarettes, even though she was on oxygen. That combination led to an accident that sent her to the hospital and she died later. I don't like the guy at all, but I feel bad for him in that specific circumstance, because you're stuck either being an enabler or exerting your will over someone you're supposed to be supporting who is otherwise still capable of independent decisions.

Yea, I queued up one of the Xinjiang episodes the other day too. Pretty much any of them are good though and makes me really want to travel there again.

I haven't really thought about it since I made my account, but I use different pronouns irl that fit my assigned gender. I set my pronouns, name, and other information differently all over the internet to try and mix things up for privacy reasons and wanted to stay ambiguous. I try not to participate in the trans mega or threads where I think I'd be perceived as faking an identity that isn't mine though. So if folks think [any] or [none] makes more sense in the context of this site, I'd change to that instead.

Roleplaying a hyper religious zealot makes a little more sense at least in universes where gods frequently interact with mortals and grant them magic powers. Maybe you can get your powers from the God of Socialism. xi-god-emperor If you stray from the path, you get the Revisionist trait and your God calls you a LIB until you finish your redemption quest in front of the rest of your order.

Or something. I'm just shitposting. Paladins are fun to play cuz they're like less boring fighters that also cast spells.

I thought most people were reasonable about their concerns and didn't seem to blame the people moving in as much. It is a little weird to be wealthy (as opposed to seeking asylum) and move somewhere and not even speak a little of the language like that one family. The guy at the end was saying that it's not the fault of the people moving in, but the local government colluding with the property owners to extract as much money as possible without doing anything to address the problems it was creating for locals.

He sexually assaulted at least two people and hasn't really done anything to make amends for it that we know publicly. He just disappeared for a year. I've posted at least one of his videos here before because the content and people he's talking to were worth hearing. But I do try and preface that with Andrew is a piece of shit and you shouldn't subscribe to their patreon or anything.

This is true and really annoying. It also means that you're usually stuck with whoever the Rogue companion is if you don't have those skills yourself, which you may or may not like. Baldur's Gate 3 was truly revolutionary by just letting you use the highest skills from your party members in most circumstances. But even PIllars of Eternity 2 has MC-specific checks, and checks that your other party members can contribute to if they have points in the same skills. Hacking, speech, lockpicking, and other 'social' skills are pretty much mandatory to not be locked out of significant chunks of content in some games.

Meme classes/builds. I don't know what's wrong with me. Maybe I've just shifted my younger "don't tell me what to do" perspective into spite for video game developers and their limitations.

I always want to do the most unorthodox thing because I usually don't vibe well with the pre-defined classes in a lot of games. I've quit MMOs because I just don't like ANY of their classes as a whole package and wish they were more modular. That's why I loved Ragnarok Online so much and have played those WoW private servers that let you pick abilities from every class.

I'll dual wield shields in Souls games, make a battle priest in games that try to force them into being healers (Ragnarok). I used heavy armor, a pistol, and a shield in Grim Dawn to essentially be the Terminator. I loved Puppetmaster, one of the least played classes, in FFXI. Blue Mage in FFXIV. Whatever the class was in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance that let you flip a coin to 50/50 kill yourself or an enemy. Tonfas (the worst weapon in the game) in Nioh.

As long as the least played class isn't that because it's so unnecessarily complicated (Feral Druid many different times in WoW, etc) I naturally gravitate toward that a lot of the time. But it's really based on vibes. If I get a cool combination of race and starting armor, I might just go with a concept, like an anti-mage or something.

Edit: I know I was supposed to hit you up to play Ragnarok sometime soon from a previous thread, but I started a Chinese class and got super busy ohnoes

Good clip. I've visited a couple countries with a large Buddhist population and never saw anything that was just the Buddha's head. It's often considered offensive for both religious and historical reasons the clip mentions. Yet you'll see Buddha head cups in every tacky retail store in the United States. Mass produced and commodified versions of past plunder are the cultural norm.

I don't know what that comment said and guess that it was something racist but from the context, who even cares if it was stolen technology? Better used to benefit more people in the world than hoarded by governments and corporations as a political weapon.
