  • What I appreciated with the first Witcher is seeing the story from all sides and I dont recall it feeling black and white. Humans were shown as hating elves for their attacks, but then you get to the elves and learn their part of why they were attacking. The writing feels raw with hints of racism, vulgarism and the like. It felt right for the setting.
    The Botching story line (the barron) in W3 was probably my favorite in that game and that was a side quest. I didnt feel the same momentum going forward in the main story of W3.

    I never understood the hate for Loss (the original). Is it that it’s trying to evoke emotion? Is it because it’s a departure from the more gamer orientated content? Is it because it’s one sided? Is it actually cheap? I didn’t mind it.




  • It is a good thing to have competition. The hate is because they are doing things people don’t generally like. Exclusivity deals for one thing. Epic can’t really compete with steam because they are too far behind on features, so they resort to exclusivity deals which aren’t really good for any consumer. One could argue it is the fault of publishers taking them, but that is just looking at it from a purely business perspective. As a consumer, I don’t really care about the business side… I don’t profit from it. So I don’t really wonder why gamers are mad at epic for it.







  • Well, it depends.
    This specific application here is for usenet, so it is of no use to those who torrent.

    If you do casual coughs torrenting and search for your stuff once in a while and download on your main machine, then no. Theres no need for anything else.

    If you self host a media server, maybe a torrent client on the same machine, an arr stack can help out with it to the point that you will no longer visit a torrent site again. Once set up, instead of searching directly on a specific site, you would visit a self hosted page for say, movies, and search there. The search would be handled by another self hosted app which would search from a list of torrent sites you configured.





  • Easier than you think it is. Hard to keep at it. All you need to do is stop using a phone or computers. Death cert is only needed when you’ve been compromised and people are out to get you. Gold isnt really usable unless you stumble onto a secret underground society where all trade is done in gold. Realistically, you’d sooner be trading goods (or services) for other goods (or services).

    This level technically shuns technology and that brings its own challenges. Its like saying you cant have privacy with technology. I dont necessarily agree with this statement so I’d say don’t go to this level.
