Ancient Rome.

AFAIK Munich Police was already using it. Also, Danish police uses it in a custom implementation, ordered by “ChatControl 2.0 guy” Peter Hummelgård.

Same with me. I somehow didn’t register him in the teaser. As soon as the second trailer came out and I saw him, I concluded I won’t even pirate this one.

By the way, the NIN soundtrack is not good either. Quake’s is much better.

The European kind. Not the Extended Universe nor Eastern University.

My country? I am from the EU!

Let’s try not to be offensive.

From the entry for “zaibatsu” on Wikipedia:

Under the Allied occupation after the surrender of Japan, a partially successful attempt was made to dissolve the zaibatsu. Many of the economic advisors accompanying the SCAP administration had experience with the New Deal and were highly suspicious of monopolies and restrictive business practices, which they felt to be both inefficient, and to be a form of corporatocracy (and thus inherently anti-democratic).

The only difference? The zaibatsu actually diversified their operations.

Came here to say this!

I am not into crafting or upgrading at all, but the story, quests and simple but cool-looking combat kept me on it more than I am willing to admit.

Just be sure to take the second one, as the first one is a completely different type of game.

Ahaha sorry, Italianism.

Well, I started for “patriotism”, but damn am I happy I moved all my investments in EU-only ETFs years ago! Sure, the hit will be felt even here, but not nearly as much.

If you think that a theocratic country is gonna stop have wars, you have not clear what a religion is.

It is literally AI taking time out of of your life, I don’t see how that doesn’t make sense to you.

Sorry if this offends some US citizens, but seen from here this just seems a slightly louder and smooth-riding drift in the same direction the USA has always navigated towards.

What is really absurd is that their “fix” is a watermark. As if I didn’t learn to get watermarks out with some free program on windows in the early 2000s.

I suggest you watch his old Adam Ruins Everything videos

He has made this video with Dave Cutler. I strongly doubt there would be any reason for Cutler to give an MS PirateSoftware any free endorsement.

In Athens they also ostracized people the majority didn’t like from the polis, which is akin to what was once civil death.

Ancient Greece (and even less Rome, where I was born) are not at all my example of an enlightened society.

The question here is much simpler: Peter Hummelgård, Danish minister of justice and main author of the new proposal, is the man who got the Danish police a customized version of Palantir’s Gotham to “fight immigrant gangs”.

This is a man who recently said “we must break with the totally erroneous perception that it is everyone’s civil liberty to communicate on encrypted messaging services”, obviously lapping the peanut butter off Thiel’s genitals.

Lobbying needs to be better regulated, but especially people like him and everyone who voted for his party should see our fingers pointing to their faces in real life and online.

That’s how you fight this, by publicly shaming people for not grasping the fundamentals of Rights Culture.

You don’t need an organized group to have people who compromised on logic forcing their views on others. Sure, an organized group can be more efficient, but it is also more visible as a threat.

I wish! I would be happy to be their Lovecraftian abyss.

No, the problem is accepting uncritically anything that comes from a self-defined leader, and, even in the absence of that, accepting that any critical input in a social system should come from people that have compromised on logic and reason at some level.

Finally, I found another one like me. Prepare for a shower of shit in the comments, as most people here defend religion strenously.
