  • Yeah I’ve noticed this in ESO as well. I’ve been playing since the beta and people have constantly complained that the endgame content was too easy. Cue some cycles of power creep where your character can get progressively more powerful with better gear followed by more difficult dungeons, and now there is content that the average player just can’t do anymore without min/maxing. I was in a Vet dungeon with three other experienced players and couldn’t complete it after around 7 hours worth of attempts, and our gear/setup was good and we understood the mechanics of the bosses.

    There’s no way that Meemaw who picked up this game to casually play as a cute Khajiit and questing would be able to beat it.










  • The first time I heard about Brave it sounded sketchy. They replaced ads on websites with their own ads. That doesn’t seem ethical to me since they aren’t in the normal advertising chain of relationships where the website owner has an agreement with that specific advertising firm to display ads. Brave gets the revenue instead of the website owner, while the website displays content that they didn’t agree to. And the user has no say.

    Very sketch.

    And that they say they are sooo focused on privacy when everything that they do seems to indicate otherwise.



  • Where did I say that all Republicans are Nazis? Look closely, I said no such thing. I am saying that Nazis hide in the Republican ranks. There are openly white supremacist factions within the Republican Party (i.e. “Christian Identitarians”) that hide behind a veneer of civility. These groups have far greater influence in the Republican Party than ideological extremists on the left have with the Democratic Party.



  • Why then is extremist, explicitly Nazi rhetoric so pervasive within the Republican ranks? A good example of this is the United The Right rally in Charlottesville. The Nazis present were not condemned by the leader of the Republican party at that time when it would be the easiest thing for him to do. This tacit implicit support emboldens them for future action. Any sensible President would have denounced Nazis and their actions, especially as a woman was killed as a result of their actions.

    Calling such people Nazis is counter productive and only inflames the current issues at hand.

    If they talk like a Nazi, act like a Nazi, or sympathize with Nazis, I’m gonna call them a Nazi. There’s no room to be tolerant here, Nazis have zero place in our society. And those that are Nazis are right wing and hide within the Republican party. That doesn’t make them any less of a Nazi, and we should call them out on it.
