Kindles suck thanks to Amazon lock in, but I pirate all my books and use Calibre to convert/manage my library, and can easily use email to send books to my device. The main reason I stick with this one (paper white) is the battery life. I go a month or two between charges, reading heavily. My wife’s Kobo needs to be charged every couple weeks and she’s a much lighter reader than me.

I think this is their stated reason, or at least that was part of the dialog last time around.

I was just at an aquarium yesterday admiring this tomato-y boy, are you in my head?

I let shadowheart murder her in her sleep because fuck the racist. I’ve heard she’s a sweetheart if you give her a chance, but I don’t have time for that.

My son is 2 so it means I get to play with these and no one looks at me weird. It’s great.

One thing DA 2 did really well (though a deviation from the crpg formula) was making it feel like your companions had lives of their own. When doing their quests it felt like you were joining them on their own adventure, as opposed to just waiting in camp to follow you.

DE is probably the best modern RPG for giving you options beyond good and evil. Your build determines a ton about what your experience is, so even if you’re doing the same general choices for the game you’ll end up with a very different experience. Another big change will be you political ideology, which can be fascist, lib or commie. And on top of that you pick how you deal with your personal arc, which can be to stay drug/booze addled, clean up your act, or a few options in between.

“Evil” would probably be fascist + drugs, but there’s layers of nuance. The game is amazing and the writing is the best of the decade+. I’d give it a shot.

I mean, it’s clear that the Iraq war did have nothing to do with 9/11, but I’m guessing that wasn’t the point being made.

I agree that it’s a bit of a stretch. What I think they’re getting at is that individualism as it’s pushed by imperialist media creates the toxic environment that fosters the cultural traits that you’re referring to.

I signed up for Netflix years ago. When they decided to make it cost more to let my parents share the sub I pulled the plug.
