I want everyone in the game to just stop moving their hands and arms while talking. Arm gestures are uniformly awkward and immersion-killing. However, the limitations of computer animation continually rear their ugly heads. The writing is actually remarkably good, and by and large so is the voice-acting. Not the sort of beast I'd want to drink vodka with, but one of the most interesting characters in the game so far.Ĭutscenes loom large in The Witcher 2, and I'm still of a mixed mind on them. On the other hand, the drunkard troll at the bridge was a great deal of fun. No matter how lovely The Witcher 2 may be, I did weary of some of these quests. I've said it before, but the nature of side-quests in most RPGs - especially the "Kill Five of X and Return to Y" grinding - is tiresome. The side-quests serve something of a tutorial purpose, and help strengthen Geralt, but offer little else. The more interesting quests involve the main storyline, however. This can be done by finding a book on the subject of your hunt. Before setting out to kill off monsters, you first must learn something of their lore. The quests so far have been slightly more in-depth than in many RPGs I've played. In chapter one, this tension ultimately results in a riot in Flotsam, a bloody pogrom against the non-humans. Bands of outlaws live in the forests, running something of a guerrilla war against the humans, while the uneasy peace between "elder races" and humankind results in bloodshed in the human settlements. Dwarves and elves are second-class citizens, confined to ghettos and reservations. In the first chapter of the game, we're introduced to the racial tensions that undergird Temeria and its peoples.

Why would anyone believe that the US government - or any government - could be an arbiter of what is true and what is false? A brief trip down recent memory lane ought to disabuse people of such faith.ĭwight Eisenhower lied about U-2 flights over Russia John F. Twitter The Nazi propaganda effort was headed by Dr. Nina Jankowicz will head the new office within the Department of Homeland Security. The Daily Mail reported Jankowicz “shared misleading tweets about COVID-19 masks, claimed Trump presidency would ’embolden ISIS’ and praised British spy behind the debunked Russian dossier.” Didn’t Jankowicz spread disinformation about Hunter Biden’s laptop, which she said was a product of Donald Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign? Wasn’t it Jankowicz who joined fellow Democrats in claiming Trump “colluded” with Russia to help him win the presidency? The new office will be headed by Nina Jankowicz, who styles herself as Mary Poppins on TikTok (a social-media platform owned by the Chinese Communist government, a font of disinformation, which should be alarming). Now comes the announcement of a new office within the Department of Homeland Security to police “disinformation” and “misinformation.” Some critics are comparing it to the fictitious “Ministry of Truth” in George Orwell’s novel “1984.” Josef Stalin successfully used propaganda during the 1940s. He and his successors used jamming devices to keep information from Voice of America, Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty from reaching Russian ears. In the Soviet Union, Joseph Stalin employed newspapers, Pravda and Izvestia, and TV “news” shows to lie to his people. Most soldiers who listened on their radios treated it as entertainment. American forces could listen to several women they called “Tokyo Rose,” whose Japanese propaganda was aimed at demoralizing troops by telling them they were losing the war. The Nazi propaganda effort was headed by Joseph Goebbels, to whom the term “The Big Lie,” meaning if one tells a lie often enough people will come to believe it is true, has been attributed. Germany and Japan had their own propaganda machines to advance an evil agenda. During World War II, American propaganda was considered a necessary tool in the pursuit of victory in a moral cause. North Korea bans tight jeans, dyed hair, other trends with ‘capitalist flair’: reportĪs with many things, propaganda can be used for good or for ill, depending on who dispenses it. Social media is creating radicalized killers - and our government is allowing it Putin’s state TV propagandist says ‘World War III has already begun’Ĭhina’s propaganda ranks highly on Google, YouTube searches: study This will mean they will take your blitz action up a lot, though when you combine that with Horns, just a single assist against most players give you 3 block dice. Minotaurs aren’t as reliable as a Centaur due to having Animal Savagery. This does mean you are just short of that fourth reroll, though you can fit in an Apothecary instead. Similar to starting with a single Centaur and four rerolls you can switch it up a little bit and get a Minotaur instead of the Centaur. You could swap the Apothecary for a Hobgoblin, though protecting the Centaurs is more valuable. I don’t like doing this as the Chaos Dwarves are both slow to skill up and the more Block players you can start with the better. If you want to get that extra reroll then you need to trade a Chaos Dwarf for another Hobgoblin. You’re just a tiny bit short of getting three rerolls from the outside, but you can fit in an Apothecary which offers some protection for those pricey Centaurs. It also means less of the fragile Hobgoblins on the pitch. You get both of the Centaurs and all of the Chaos Dwarfs which maximises the MVP falling on them. This is probably the most commonly taken starting roster for Chaos Dwarf teams. They also let you be a bit more liberal with your blocks and to also try and feed touchdowns to your low agility players when there isn’t too much risk of losing the ball if the hand off fails. I find the extra rerolls are helpful for moving the ball around whilst I wait for the Hobgoblins and Centaur get some skills. The rerolls cost 50k back then though and have since been put up twice so the above is perhaps a bit more sensible for more players. I played Chaos Dwarfs a lot years ago and always liked to get a lot of rerolls taking it to the extreme of no Bull Centaurs and five rerolls. QTYĪnimal Savagery, Frenzy, Horns, Loner (4+), Mighty Blow (+1), Thick Skullīadlands Brawl, Favoured Of…, Worlds End Superleague As of now though the roster from the Teams of Legend document gives a very familiar feel. Whether we see Games Workshop alter the team at all in the future, time will tell. Chaos Dwarf teams haven’t changed from the previous edition as far as player and reroll pricing goes. One issue the notch definitely has been causing for some users is that it can cover up elements of the menu bar (opens in new tab) if they stretch towards the middle of the display. Even if you don't agree, in my experience you stop noticing the notch a few minutes after you start staring into the gorgeous Liquid Retina XDR display. In my experience, macOS does a pretty smart job of tucking the Menu Bar into the thin ribbon of extra screen space on either side of the notch, so it ends up feeling more like I’m getting some extra screen space where the top bezel should be instead of like the bezel is jutting down into my display. Perhaps it’s just that using an iPhone has inured me to the toothy look of a notched screen, but I like how the MacBook Pro’s display pulls back on either edge of the notch. The notch is one of the most controversial design decisions Apple’s made with this new Pro, and after spending some time using one as my daily driver I can tell you the notch has grown on me. But that’s not counting the new notch, a rounded black rectangle that houses the Pro’s webcam and juts down about 0.4 inches from the top bezel. The 100% recycled aluminum chassis has a flatter lid than its predecessor, with vents carved out of either side in service of an improved cooling solution and a redesigned 6-speaker sound system inside.īut the biggest changes are hidden until you open the lid, at which point you’re greeted by a big, beautiful 16.2-inch Liquid Retina XDR display framed by bezels that are just over 20% thinner at the sides and roughly 60% thinner along the top. It measures 14.01 x 9.77 x 0.66 inches and weighs 4.7 pounds (4.8 if you splurge for an M1 Max model), meaning it’s roughly the same size and just a smidge thicker than the Intel-based 16-inch Pro it replaces. The 16-inch MacBook Pro 2021 has been redesigned in subtle but significant ways.
