I love how Tories harken back to the exact same rhetoric (and posters) used by Churchill against Attlee, when the Labour government that then won was the best there's ever been for ordinary Britons.2 points

Other than KOTOR 1 & 2 (without suggesting shite that's super heavy on fantasy elements), I don't know if I can suggest anything that's similar. But here's a few good games that aren't taxing on any computer. 1.) Papers, Please - you play the role of a customs agent checking passports. It sounds stupid, but it's a great game. 2.) Fallout 1/2 - these are more similar to Jade Empire in that they're RPGs; but that's about where the similarity ends. They're not easy games and they're VERY dated lol, but once you figure out wtf is going on - quality games. 3.) The Baldurs Gate games - classic RPGs. Warning: fantasy elements present.2 points

Nooooooooo! I completed Jade Empire already It's actually one of the very few games that I actually managed to finish; I usually abandon most of them after a while as it fails to hold my interest. But this one was a completely different case... Everything about it was perfect to me - the story, the gameplay, the combat, the dialogues, even the side quests (I know I said most of that already in my previous post but that's just how much I loved it haha). i love how easy it is to get into and there's no steep learning curve so it's easy for a casual gamer like me to just chill and enjoy it. The whole mythological angle as well as bits and pieces of eastern philosophy & teachings woven into the story were particularly great and the setting made the game pretty unique I think (but then I'm a sucker for East Asian mythology and culture). Seriously this was probably the first game where I got really emotionally invested in the story and actually cared for the characters from the start until the very end. Also Sir Roderick Ponce Von Fontlebottom must be the best side character ever The only negative - it's too short Took me 16 hours to complete the game (I definitely missed some side quests though as the necropolis with it's ghosts annoyed me a bit and I was excited for the main story to progress) and the ending felt a bit rushed so I'd say that the pacing is a bit off. I also suspect that for some the game might be too easy (many ways to "break" the game by using certain styles in combat) but I personally like it that way because I want to enjoy the story instead of getting frustrated at failing missions and losing fights again and again But that's just minor flaws really anyway. The major problem - now I want more And now I also realised that were was never a sequel or a reboot made Easily one of my personal favourites now. Actually on the top of my hypothetical list of my favourite games ever; I even liked it more than both KOTOR games. Really happy I asked @Dr. Gonzo for recommendation and even happier he came up with it but now I have a new problem - I want something similar...2 points

I like how they're using fear of "breaking up the UK" when the union's probably more fractured and likely to break up if Tories go ahead with Brexit.1 point

Mate, there is no such thing as a remainer that will vote Tory, not THIS Tory Party! What I mean by I have no idea what will happen means in terms of the final result of the GE. Right now it looks more like a Tory victory and I’m afraid that there isn’t a bit more time so Boris Johnson can fuck up some more which he inevitably would do. These Liberals won’t form a coalition with the Tories and there is as much point in asking them as there is in asking for an alliance between Tories and Labour or the SNP and the Tories. No point in the question as the Lib Dems have been digging even more into the Tories over the past months than even Labour. What pisses me off are tribalists from any side especially both Labour and Lib Dems. For months they’ve been working in tandem on social media as well as even pro remain journalists. Now this cat firght has started which is childish and extremely low in intelligence. Of course the Lib Dems cannot win an election and they’ve said that they can’t form a coalition with Corbyn, not the Labour Party although obviously that’s the term used. It’s Corbyn that they don’t trust as they’ve spoken to people like Starmer, Jess Phillips and a couple of others recently when it was in the air of an interim leader. How many Tories are out there that won’t vote Conservative because of Boris Johnson amongst a couple of others. There are a number of them, I even know a few.1 point

Didn't Farage say that he'd rather Remain than accept Johnson's deal? I think a lot of people are assuming that Farage will step aside for the Conservatives but I'm sure he'll want something from Johnson in return. It's a hell of a leap for Farage to go from being dead set against Johnson's version of Brexit to stepping aside to help his party gain a majority so that they can get Johnson's Brexit through parliament.1 point

Anyone else read/saw Weiss and Benioff's Austin Film Festival discussion panel? These two have to be the luckiest idiots on the planet. Didn't know what they were doing and were provided with million dollar budgets. Kept making errors and never got punished. No wonder the quality of the show nosedived once it went beyond the books.1 point

This picture of me was taken in my wife's Neapolitan town of Sant 'Antimo and I'm posting it because this was the moment of my reflection after voting to leave the EU and moving from 3 months in Galicia to finish my contrition in Italy. I had just finished conversing with the local mayor and priest of the town where they made me see I should never punish myself for something that isn't an error but infact a passage in my life to understanding reality.1 point

Basically a place for anything related to German football that doesn't fit in any existing thread and doesn't warrant a new one... Came across this stats overview thread on twitter today and though it's quite interesting:0 points
