Gamepad support? I guess I can set them up on big picture at worst

Man, Holocaust talk... I though you were just trying to save the forums!

Extreme G-2, damn, reviews on the steam page argue that the port is so bad, no gamepad support; a very hasty as unpolished port. What do you think about it? I was kinda interested in revisiting it.

There you go! You are welcome

You are never buying games even when you purchase physical copies. Upon checking his email, Tor said that he found an inactivity warning from Ubisoft in his spam folder dated January 20th. The email stated that his account had been temporarily shut down and will be permanently closed if he didn’t click the provided link within 30 days. While there’s a clause in Terms of Service that allows the company to suspend or close an account for inactivity, Ubisoft claims that what happened to Tor was a glitch and that they’ve never suspended an account that has been inactive for less than four years. Gotta love their defence "We do not close accounts for inactivity, I mean, we do, but only after 4 years of inactivity" as if that's actually acceptable.

What can I say about it is that, gradualism subtends the idea of a slow but constant change over a long period of time with piecemeal reforms, not with a series of substantial leaps, each one of them happening as a direct result of a political movement strongly pushing for concessions. I am not sure how you did come up with the idea that the change was peaceful, since, Iceland had become a free and sovereign state in personal union with Denmark only after WWI, while WWI was not directly a war of independence for Iceland, the legitimacy of participation into that war was of course ground of contention, reinforcing nationalistic claims of independence. Also Iceland got invaded by the Britons in WWII, a Major energy event , and Iceland got it's independence thereafter, now as a thought experiment try to rerun the same experiment without 2 world wars. However yes, for what I know Iceland did not achieve independence through an arms struggle directed specifically at their rulers (Kingdom of Denmark), However their decisive diplomatic victories happened as a consequence of violence which substantially warped and destabilized many economies in the region including Denmark's; poor economical performance naturally leads to weakened political control on colonies, which strengthen nationalistic movements.

I suspected it, so I've pinched his ass ?

Not denying anything you said, however what I do find important to highlight that Iceland and Finland are never mentioned in discussions about Scandinavian social Democracies, they are never taken as models; Denmark and Sweden are the usual ones, and they are constitutional monarchies. Also I am pretty sure the change was not gradual in either Iceland nor Finland; here is a brief history of Iceland's independence from the University of Aarhus(Denmark), Iceland got its full Independence only after World War I. Furthermore Taken from the Swedish Constitution: ART. 1 • All public power in Sweden proceeds from the people. Swedish democracy is founded on the free formation of opinion and on universal and equal suffrage. It is realised through a representative and parliamentary form of government and through local self-government. ART 5 • The King or Queen who occupies the throne of Sweden in accordance with the Act of Succession shall be the Head of State. As far as I know you are correct about Britain; ultimately we should ask ourselves how come , We are considering monarchies as democracies. I guess even monarchs need their social Welfare huh.

Could it be Takema Mamoru?

Thanks for the link, I'll read it.

I agree that they are surely different, did the article imply that?

I would prefer to do them anyway for the time being, if you guys are inclined to permit me some kind of formatting liberty. I am also willing to assume that you people have discussed about it, and you are acting as ambassador, which gives you the ability to use "We" and not "I". To be fair the line spacing change due to First letter Drop Cap doesn't really excite me. There, I haven't done them this time as a mean to extend an olive branch to you.

Excluding Finland and Iceland which managed to become independent in the early 20th century, all the famous Scandinavian countries that are usually looked at as social democratic models are actually Constitutional Monarchies similar to Britain.

I'd argue that the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s has failed more than it has succeeded. Giving that it led to Neoliberalism, also, nowadays the economical Gap between rich and poor is bigger than in the Gilded Age; if incrementalism worked the US would probably have a national Healthcare system by now but it doesn't. Furthermore this is a classic quote from MLK himself: “This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism.” I am also pretty confident there is also consistent evidence that the civil rights was much more radical in conception however both the HUAC and covert sabotage by the FBI and CIA have had a strongly attenuating effect on it to be light on the words, and after it was weakened the top down co-optation went into effect. Quoting Journalist Vance Packard (The Naked Society, early 1964) : Perhaps the most relentless inquisition of educators in the last few years occurred at the University of Florida in Gainesville. A gubernatorial candidate who happened also to head a committee of the state legislature moved his committee to Gainesville and for seven months conducted his investigation on the campus. Yale historian C. Vann Woodward, in reporting on the affair, related: “With the aid of lawyers, police, detectives, and paid informers, the committee dragged in hundreds of witnesses, mainly students, to testify against professors. Disclosures of political heresies were disappointing, but sexual deviations supplied headlines Ultimately the Civil Rights movement has been stifled, softened, re-moulded and co-opted into nothingness, just like environmentalism nowadays (for the most part, especially in the mainstream). There is extensive evidence that a sizeable chunk of late 60s musical revolution and countercultural fashion was a top down predicament, not the opposite.

Damn, this was ahead of the times, just a couple years but yeah; Released in 2000, this was the sound of the mid noughties (00's) really, in hindsight, not a big fan. Definitely a Roland TR-909 plus probably a KORG Mono/Poly and that's it. Youtube comment section is loving it. Now I am gonna have to check what else in the teaches of Peaches.

? You one time two times three times my saviour!? ? Whenever I see Jesus up on that cross I cannot but think that He looks kinda Hot?

I think you have been a bit too abstract and vague on certain regards, still, the moral quandary you are going through is not unheard of, I'll give you a Karl Popper quote to chew your mind upon, it's from "The open society and its enemies" from 1945. Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be most unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant. I've been thinking about this for a while, and I still probably will continue to think about it well into the future.

Funny you mention that, whenever somebody mentions clowns and the 90's, this is what pops in my mind ? Clowns in the 90's were edgy

Infamous Kuso Soundtrack from a legendary Kusoge. Good Luck.

I am conflicted, I see where are you coming from, this song is all over the place, the orchestra stabs clashing with those hilarious vocals, the thin midi bass, it all sounds like Art Of Noise gone bad. I don't hate it though, it sounds so weird and free- form; some of the songs from those 90s midway racing games were practically parodies, House Special comes to mind, I Love House Special, it's so silly.

Love the box's design

Thanks for the article, I gave it a reading; it looks a bit odd seeing WIRED publishing these types of pieces, historically they have been really pro Silicon Valley. Anyway, I agree that Carmack sounded very out of touch in that Rogan interview.

No sir, that is just the general formatting on books, first letter is capitalized and of a bigger size, classic in old books; using line breaks to contain text, basic publisher knowledge, generally the optimal line is considered to be 9 to 12 words, long lines are generally considered too unwieldy and difficult to read; finally, Italics for emphasis. You might think this is just some "I am me" typing quirk but it's actually general formatting done for readability, I do it also because whenever I see huge text blocks on forums I am a bit discouraged since they look difficult to read. Sorry I have bothered you.

We live at the inception of "Techno-Feudalism" dog, look at the intellectual property law for instance, IP law has always been quite controversial and historically considered anti-capitalist, however in modern time they have become a Tithe to the corporate lord making money on creations made by dead people. I Could go on for ages really. Here I discuss some of these dynamics, in relation to videogames, specifically CP 2077 Also, Corporate Democracy is an Oxymoron, the corporation is a totalitarian institution.

I have played it too, albeit quite a while after release, so I assume most kinks were ruled out. Project Warlock was designed by an 18 years old if I am not mistaken; honestly in context it's pretty fun and cool, as long as you don't expect anything innovative though. Can't find anything on that link, that link shows Valorant Stuff.
