  1. To a certain degree that means that the next election's candidate from the other party will be better than the last one. Kind of an advantage with the two party system. Multi-party systems don't really feel so constrained to change and adapt.
  2. Trump is hard to understand, he's pretty incoherent regarding that: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-trump-idUSKCN11Y2EW At any rate, I always thought it was true when said that "Wherever the USA goes, you get South Korea, wherever Russia goes, you get North Korea. I want our country to be South Korea."
  3. Populism doesn't seem neither good nor bad. Roosevelt was populist. In Ukraine someone like Nadeja Savchenko can be populist. It doesn't necesarily mean the leader is stupid or that he's pro-russian. Seems like a weird coincidence that many populist leaders over the world are coincidentally proposing bad anti-immigration ideas and seem tied to Russia. Marie Le Pen, the Brexit movement with Farage, AfD and Pegida. Orban for a few years running now. All at the same time.
  4. Islam is not at fault. Most of those people were born in misery, violence and dictatorship regimes. The only way to change the Muslim paradigm is a cultural revolution that reconciles the diferend of Shia and Sunni. Islam is still by analogy in the Protestant v. Catholic war that never ended. Various extremists profit from that somewhere in the middle. The point is to have more Middle Eastern secular states like Lebanon, Jordan, Algeria, Tunis, Turkey. More or less that's the trend and it's a perfectly sane, properly dignified road for prosperity. Notice how refugees were always either Syrian or Afghani, Libyan. It's not a coincidence. And their behaviour is simply a mirror of the faulty country they lived in. We'll see a shift in the policy towards them after the elections of 2017 in major European countries. Good or bad. Alternatively repatriation programs when/if the situation changes. For example full control of the Libyan government forces over their territory is not far fetched. The agreement on a unity government is another topic altogether.
  5. If anything the fault in the excessive warmongering theory that the US meddles too much around the world - isn't sustainable. It was either too badly calculated, like the retreat from Iraq or weak negotiations and concessions when a strong position was required, point in case with Libya which needed strong support right away for a national unity government, Russia that only after 2013 was rightfuly blamed for passing every red line. It seems that the Clinton voters seek a new Ronald Reagan in that regard. What her "reset with Russia" means we don't know. However, realistically leaving the few places where the US is still involved with troops - i.e. Afghanistan, means compromising years of work towards trying to build at least a semi-stable government for regions, superstitiously thought to be doomed for eternal war, death and starvation. Ukraine that was always disadvantaged geographically, Georgia. http://www.kasparov.com/blog-post/how-is-russia-impacting-2016-race-msnbc-live-with-stephanie-ruhle-102116/ That's not to say Trump can't do good and create a little variety internally for the US. Problem is, that with such a candidate the hybrid war may proove its effectiveness and Rusians gain not just territory but caputre new minds. That cycle is dangerous and scary for me. Considering we're in the XXI'st century. Capitalist pragmatism isn't enough for such an existential challenge. It's been there for decades. But people get riled up when its not eastern european migrants but muslims, whom they can neither understand, nor sympathize with.
  6. It's easy to imagine. The masses are easy to sway in that regard. I disagree that banks, jews have conspiracies against us and are huge evil entites or something. It's ridiculous. If you take a credit than obviously it's the debitor's fault, not the creditor that he has to later force the debt paid. Society doesn't work in any other way. What's up with this utopia?
  7. It kind of matters foreign policy wise for Eastern Europe, but we can shoot anyway, thanks for the training. If Trump wins - a perpetual grindlock with Congress is in order. At least it's unlikely he'll win again if he does win this year because he won't be able to push through half of what he says I reckon. Let the best one win I guess. Good luck. Most likely for comparison purposes, it's going to be like this Brexit thing. Things don't change overnight. Btw, anyone remembers how nobody thought someone like Trump could be president back then? (Patrick Bateman in American Psycho 2000 )
  8. BTW cats react to humans in the same way as they would react to a cat. For keeping in line with the mood of TDM it would be good to have them have a sound cover of a mature cat, none of the kitty cute approach. If the models get finished.
  9. You're one of the few FM authors that updates missions beyond simple bug fixing. That's inspiring.
  10. Moldova, Russian styled tsarist 19'th century prison:
  11. No, he's asking only for information on questions pointed earlier in post #2.
  12. The size is a little over the top. Maybe I'm wrong but it looks unproportional to the body. At least if you look at it from the sides. Maybe texturing will fix that and make a better ilusion.
  13. Witcher 3 isn't the only one. Pathologic, Knock-Knock, The Void, maybe even Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines had some tangentials.
  14. MirceaKitsune - they're not realistic though. They are anime. It's directly opposite to the gothic approach of The Dark Mod.
  15. If it means that 2.05 takes longer then it has to, let it wait until 2.06. Otherwise one concession means a higher risk of gathering up unrealistic requests each time and getting release schedules into space.
  16. What are your system specifications? You'll go crazy each time until you provide data to work with I'm afraid..
  17. Have to disagree here. TDM is receiving massive improvements ever since 2.00 for the reason that work is being managed correctly! I know it sounds cliche but if a team can't coordinate and focus on what needs changes in priority than things won't go much in terms of keeping the public's attention. What TDM possibly doesn't do very well would probably be related to pushing out major updates rather than making each change available as soon as possible as it was tested - available to the public. For example it's a shame that the other 70% of the work for the next update has to be done first, before the long awaited EAX will become ready for the game. Today it's a lot more important to keep pushing updates regularly as a kind of a token of attention, rather than accepting unconditionally everything just for the sake of competing with AAA games. TLDR - limited resources means prioritisation comes first. There was no intention to offend. It's not yes or no, it's more about being realistic and serious about the project and its perspectives for the future. BTW massive respect for you and the team you have behind yourself for Bloodlines. I suppose, when considering that TDM is a total overhaul, it just doesn't have the same approach as the UP has for Bloodlines - which rather serves to compliment the main experience (possibly that's the reason for the rift in mentality?)
  18. That didn't go well. I think at the end of the day things won't happen over night. No point in this argument.
  19. You should be fine. It's not bad characteristics.
  20. Don't worry, nobody thinks about the logics of machineries. Especially considering it's Steampunk! And they look fantastic. Far too grand to think about trivial mechanics or architecture. A mark of a professional.
  21. That's a class description! Congratulations on the release. Will try it this month hopefully. Already now I can feel that you should be proud of yourself.
