Isnt bg3 simplifing DND to bring it to a more mainstream audience? Players definitely do not want deepass crpgs. Crpgs go very deep.

The lord needs to help these people. They’re cooked.

I hate this man so much.

Because you’re playing the right games. When you come across these type of games its so jarring. You open the game and the first thing you see is an ad then a link to the store.

I know but I still disagree with her comments and policy/position on many issues. The greens are to far to the left of me which means they’re probably way to far left for vast majority of the country. What she is saying is dumb and if it hurts the greens thats good but if that spills over and hurts labour then thats terrible for the economic and social trajectory of the country.

To me, every party except labour is harmful to the country.

The greens are so cooked. I hope to god they dont drag down labour. Right wingers constantly say “the greens and labour” even though labour has nothing to do with the scandal and opposes that green policy.

They have such bad optics with every age group except genz.

Its a cancer that is spreading across the world. My dad thinks covid isn’t real but also ivermectin is a wonder drug that the government tried to hide for some reason.

My point is not that there is no where else to buy the products. My point is that there is no point in the government stepping in and deciding that nz businesses now have to pay extra.

The US tariffs dont hurt us much. We can sell elsewhere and likely still complete in the us with the tariffs. However if our government tariggs us goods it will hurt us a lot. Extra costs on our top 3 US imports would make everything more expensive here, make our exports less competitive and do all this at a time when market capital is uncertain and liquidity is low.

These devices all do final stage manufacturing in the US. Switching out a system can cost a fuck ton. If I had a John deer tractor system and I had to switch it to a Chinese one there would be a ton of things that dont work together and require buying a new thing. Thats wasteful.

Nzers have more than enough reasons to boycott and avoid the us. I dont think it is a good idea for the government to make the decision for us.

Why do I have to be specific, the point stands on its own. Why should our businesses pay an increased price for American good? Our businesses will move away from American goods without the punishment of tariffs. Nz is not in the economical position for tariffs. We are already moving to create free trade agreements in Asia and the EU which is enough hurt to the us.

Our 3 biggest imports from the US are agricultural machinery, ICT goods and healthcare goods. So I’d say those are hard and costly to replace especially with vendor lock in.

Edit: Im trying to correct the record on this because I saw somewhere people were also calling Hipkins a spineless coward for saying NZ shouldnt launch reciprocal tariffs.

A lot of what we import from the US is machinery, im assuming its specialized machinery that is designed to work together with other products from that company as the US is notorious for closed eco systems. If we tariff the US then we are forcing our businesses to pay extra for those machines or pay the cost of refitting their entire fleet. Doing this at a time when markets are crashing and uncertainty is high is in my opinion supremely stupid.

I’m all for trying to hurt the US but nz returning the tariffs doesn’t hurt the US since the cost is paid by nz buisness. The US hurt themselves already by putting tariffs on us. NZ can chill and do its own thing, we can weather this storm pretty easily. The US has stabbed us in the back and even without tariffs I can bet that NZ businesses will be looking for non US suppliers where possible.

I actually fully agree with the decision to not return tariffs. Nz can find other markets for their exports and probably still complete in the us with the tarrifs. However NZ businesses would get destroyed by a 20% tariff as a lot of the goods we import cannot be replaced elsewhere.

My main account has sudo rights and I type the password in whenever making root changes. I far prefer this to the windows model of admin changes only requiring a yes click.

Most stuff I install doesnt require admin anyway. Its only system updates.

What the fuck is game bar?

We don’t have the political will half our pop is already infected with this cancer. People trying to shut it down will get labeled woke and have half the country try and bring them in line.

That looks insane. The features are so unique. Video to in game dance? Camera mimicking your facial impression. Thats going to be wild if the multiplayer gets made.

The ai object feature looks good if it works.

I hate how socialist has become mixed int9 political discourse. You don’t need to be a democratic socialist or regular socialist to implement social policy. A democratic socialist is redundant because socialism is democratic (correct me if I’m wrong).

How the fuck does one of the biggest governments in the world with access to a top tier it department think the upgrade is starlink and not another fibre cable or more access points. Whatever the problem starlink for a city building is not the solution.

Our immigration blocked her then some higher up over turned it. Honestly fuck the Free Speech Union.

This is the kind of thing that should be open source. Its straight up anti competitive when one large company can embed themselves in all these games.

Why the fuck are Americans calling their officials czars now? Russia really got their claws in.
