    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    Vermintide 2. It's not bad, but you're starting to see where they're falling into the hollywoodian trap of "MOAR". More special enemies, bigger explosions, etc. It tends to devaluate the experience in the long run.

    Gun Control

    And I don't care. This is what every gun control debate invariably devolves into. You expect me to follow your every argument and refute everything you link. No. I don't care. And I don't have to care. I've already wasted too much time on dead end arguments and it's frankly the whole reason why...

    Gun Control

    You seem to think that the only fights worth having are those you can win. We differ in this respect. Some lost causes are still worth fighting for, even if it means your death in the process. I would prefer it, yes. I refuse to be lined up and executed without fighting back. You also fail to...

    Gun Control

    I'd much rather die taking two of those fuckers with me rather than to quietly die. At least then they will kill no one else... People who commit genocide are not cartoon villains. They are your neighbors. The moment you start viewing them as merely monsters, you lose perspective. I'm at a...

    Gun Control

    Do you think nazis felt most at ease raiding homes of jews who had been previously disarmed, or the houses of those that potentially still had guns? People always reference tanks and attack helicopters, but the average jackbooted thug is just another guy with a gun. Just because that is the...

    Gun Control

    I assume you meant -western- democracy? ;) And I'm saying I disagree. Gun ownership an sich is rarely a meaningful statistics. Legal gun ownership causes little issues. Yes, you'll sometimes have a Breivik that goes off the deep end, but statistically those are outliers. They barely figure in...

    Depth of Field and Motion Blur. Yes or No?

    I tend to disable them whenever possible. I'm not adverse to the implementation, but the problem tends to be that it implemented way too heavy-handedly. Add to that to the fact that it makes your gfx work harder, you may as well disable it when you can. (Disabling DoF can create unfair...

    Gun Control

    Sure, but there's also examples of countries with far stricter gun laws with much higher gun crime. This discussion is about more than statistics. You're taking a shortcut there. I'd agree with less unregulated guns in circulation means less violent gun crime, yes. Again, you're falling into...

    Gun Control

    The average european gun safe can be opened without powertools. You merely need a pry bar. The safes are sheet metal with some reinforcement at critical spots, but sometimes not even that. Real heavy duty safes tend to be too heavy for most people to properly put in their house. (and putting a...

    Gun Control

    Sure it will. My safe will be opened in 5 to 15 minutes by any competent burglar. A safe merely delays. Yes, I'm totally going to take your random politically inspired news article over the fact that I know a teacher near the West Bank. You'd be surprised how many teachers have concealed carry...

    Gun Control

    I know you're joking, but there's evidence of just that. Israel had a terrorist & school shooter problem, up until they started to allow teachers and janitors to go about their job armed. After that? No real issue remained. Of course, it's horrendously simplistic to imply that such a thing...

    Stellaris thread, reviews, and opinions!

    I'm also disappointed how expensive the expansions (DLCs) have remained.

    Which ethnic and cultural groups have had it the worst on Earth?

    From your answer, I take it you're speaking historically and not currently?

    Fallout 1 Into redux

    NMA feedback tends to be rather painfully honest and straight to the point. There's very little sugar coating going on here. But don't let that demotivate you, you've already done a better job than 99,99% of the forum members would do. My biggest annoyance with your version is that it doesn't...

    Attitudes Towards Communism

    Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue either, no. But yes, it does quite aptly cover the issues that many people refer to as cultural marxism.

    Attitudes Towards Communism

    What part is anti-establishment? It has already become an ingrained part of the establishment in many places, so I don't quite get what you're getting at?

    Attitudes Towards Communism

    Everyone is unique, but cherishing your local culture is racist, especially if you're Caucasian. Everyone is free, but preferring a partner within your own race is racist, especially if you're Caucasian. Everyone is equal, but holding people to the same standard for a job because lives depend...

    Attitudes Towards Communism

    Nobody describes themselves as an idiot either, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. There's really nothing wrong with the term (other than the fact that it has no real link to Marxism, so the term is a bit of a misnomer in itself). It's simply that its meaning has become utterly warped and...

    Attitudes Towards Communism

    All attempts are creating a communist utopia have resulted in horrendously warped dystopias. (one might say the same for any other attempt of creating utopias, by the way. it's only natural, as one person's utopia is almost certainly another person's hell.) Communist regimes in Russia, China...

    The Guns and Ammo Thread

    At the start of the war, they were also "out of range" of ground based anti-air artillery and of many fighter planes simply because of the extreme altitude (for the time) the airships could reach.
