Stated as a fact with no emotion or judgment related to it. So that excludes mourning for it, which was the point I was making in my reply which was more than clear enough.

And I'm sorry, but I find it incredibly ironic how you're the one saying reading comprehension isn't that hard after failing to understand both Nietzsche and my comment.

You suggested them to read Nietzsche and from it you got he mourns the decline of religion through all of his works? Maybe you should also get a re-read.

The decline of religion is stated as a fact, killed by men's rationality and evolution. As any evolution it has opportunities and risks, in this case the bigger risk is the loss of morality.

But the only thing he clearly advocates for is overcoming religion and God because they are not needed anymore. The new Man should make its own meaning and rules.

It's the whole concept of the übermensch which is the single central point of his all system.

The quote is not supposed to be his opinion (not directly at least), it's a character in a story.

It's like taking the stance of Cephalus in the Plato's Republic and say it's Plato's opinion, while it's clearly just a tool to let Socrates speak.

I love how people here try to put this in practical terms like "when you need to pay something 100 is better". It's infinite. Infinite. The whole universe is covered in bills. We all would probably be dead by suffocation. It makes no sense to try to think about the practicality of it. Infinite is infinite, they are the same amount of money, that's all.

Oh, then I'm glad I've been helpful! Of course it doesn't stop the yeast completely, but it hinders it.

About the oil, that's interesting. Maybe it's different in other countries because of different availability. Here in Italy it's always used (similar amount to salt but 1~2% of the flour weight more compared to salt) Of course only extravirgin olive oil, not sure about the results with other oils

I usually add it last, after flour, salt, water and yeast.

Some pizzas also have some fresh oil on them after cooking, but dipping is too daring for my weak traditional heart.

But if the results aew good, that's all that matters

Is there a reason why you're not using oil for the dough? Also (probably you already do but I'll say for people reading) never mix salt and yeast directly, one should be added only when the other is already absorbed and well mixed. Salt contrast yeast chemical reactions. A simple way is to melt salt in the water beforehand

Never. Not being started is its definition itself

Unless you make it relative to something else. Now is the future of before, and before was the future of a earlier before

That's not really how it works. If someone can evolve the standard he's totally free to do it and nobody would object. Standards are by definition collaborative, they can be evolved.

I think the matter was around forcing a proprietary cable, which was also worse and expensive

Mix it with tobacco and plenty of idiots will take it and smoke it

Liked the story better than EoD, even if it was dumb to see the commander keeping his "secret" without a second thought after jormag and onis

And they still overuse >!deaths of new characters!< way too much, it doesn't have any weight when done like that

Anyway the story was different, no dragons, overall with a good pacing too. Also finally some new lore, and no magitech

So I still enjoyed it more than anything since PoF and S4 times

Also I'm interested in seeing the rest of it, especially if we end up "crossing over", that place looked great

The maps are nice (nothing too great but enjoyable), rifts last the right amount of time to avoid becoming too boring immediately, the masteries fill up quick enough too

The vault system left me with a positive impression, it's clearly something new to patch up (more dailies to choose between, mix between the games modes) but it shows potential. And they added gemstore items and gold to it, this can't be appreciated enough

Relics were frankly a disaster. Almost all of them are boring, no more summons, interesting effects were removed, especially for condi builds there is basically no choice. For many builds not equipping a relic or equipping a bad one makes realistically no difference compared to equipping a "good" one

The idea to separate the bonus from the runes was good, but there was no reason to change the effects, especially not like that. They need a complete relics overhaul ASAP

The armor sets were nice but lacking variety. Also it has to be seen how annoying the legendary armor grind will be

I haven't tried the strikes yet, so I can't really say much.

All in all, I am satisfied. There are some things to fix but it looks like a step in the right direction

Well, both HoT and PoF final fights weren't turned in a strike so it doesn't really mean much.

Also where did they say they the strikes will be part of the story of the first 2 maps?

Of course it can't spoil anything from the third map, but it could also be a rift enemy, for example. Or a meta boss like the boneskinner

Especially for the first map, we could have no big boss at all during the story

[–] nefonous 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, it's not.

But as far as I know is an industry with a very strong make majority, isn't it?

And they would probably have said the same about a man

I'm not saying they are or aren't sexists, I'm just saying that that post doesn't prove anything other than they were idiots.

They are giving us enough reasons to hate on them without guessing reasons that could or could not be true
