I doubt they will actually disintegrate Europe over Juncker's shenanigans. They're just going to say ''lolno'' then resume their normal activites amongst the big boys while he shuffles around trying to look important.

And how's that going to work for him? If Merkel says jump, half the member states ask how high. France might be more encouraged by a stronger Europe, if only because of Hollande, but Juncker has as much power as the member states are willing to hand him. The article itselfs says that events do...

Yeah, the Institute not having any sort of plan really hurt the faction. I mean, the Think Tank was also doing science for science's sake, but that was the point, what they did was useless at best, highly dangerous at worst, because they were already assholes as human beings, and now they are...

Yeah, it's like saying the problem with the UN is the UN itself. Newsflash; the real power in the UN is the member nations, and especially the Security Council. Same way as the real power in the EU is the member nations, especially the wealthy ones like France and Germany. The EU in and of...

Yeah, it does seem like the talking heads of Brexit are jumping off the ship. First Johnson refused to run for PM, then Farrage resigns from his own party. It's possible they realized it was a big mistake from which they couldn't capitalize politically. Aeems like every UK politician...

Of course. Why should Britain face the consequences of its own decisions? Everyone should let them have their cake, eat it, and demand the cake's lunch money after all. That's how politics work, right? As you said, he's there to troll them. Maybe try to hasten the separation process by...

Well the Nazis were not voted into power. They were perhaps in a slow-ish decline come 1933 actually, but then Hindenburg's clique decided they had to nominate Hitler chancellor, thiking they could control him. Rest is history. Anyway, I think too many Britons thought this was basically a vote...

Thank you. That's pretty interesting. I note that almost half the disadvantages don't even apply to the UK, since they don't use the Euro and certainly aren't a poor enough economy that austerity can be thrust upon them, and really the cost of UE membership is a pittance compared to the massive...

Yeah, those are already more understandable reasons. The EU being what it is, I assume Britain also figured reforming it would take too much effort and time for what it's worth. Albeit a labyrinthian bureaucracy is, I think, pretty much inevitable when you're trying to juggle the political and...

One thing I just don't get is the whole ''Europe is a tyranny!'' thing. Britain wilfully entered it, has influence over its law and regulations thanks to the delegates it sends there, still manages all their internal affairs with not a whiff of oversight, and is able to exit Europe after 51% of...

One thing's for sure, the European scapegoat is gone now. Who's going to be blamed for all the country's problems now? Tories? Immigrants? Farrage? All of these answers? None? While I strongly doubt the EU was a perfect haven of sages who did no wrong, It really does seem to me that it served...

I doubt it's going to be all sunshine and roses for Britain now. Sure, the EU could be a bit of a PITA for them sometimes in regards to international treaties and economics, but in return they got unprecedented access to a wide variety of markets which the island (well anyone, but I think...

This is also reinforced by the fact that the Courier can convince Lanius, via Barter skill, that the Legion simply cannot hold both the East and West. And while Lanius is a knucklehead in most matters, when it comes to military and supply lines I'd wager he's better than anyone in the Legion and...

Which never made that much sense to me. Fallout being such a desolate and dangerous setting, foraging for supply is fine for an individual or small groups, but for an army as massive as the one the Legion fields? I feel it also strains belief. An organized supply chain seems absolutely essential...

Still doesn't explain why the NCR doesn't grab a Vertibird and firebomb their camp from above, or snipes their conspicuously dressed generals. I feel the narrative had to downplay NCR's capabilities a lot to make the Legion a match. Technological advantage is not just machetes vs guns (which is...

Yeah, they will definitely need to have some sort of mana mechanic, since baseline Gwent is just not a competitive-ready game. Strength 10 cards being as easy to play as strength 1 cards is a bit silly.

Yeah, Gwent was definitely the most fun RPG minigame since Pazaak in KOTOR. I registered for the beta, and will probably buy it once it's released. That said, from the look of the cards/interface it seems they will be making some changes to the rules. Hopefully not too many, Gwent's simplicity...

Very true. Thinking you can wash the blood away with more blood is exactly what led us into this very situation.

Yeah, those are the two things that turn me off Paradox games. The AI is often pretty stupid and/or suicidal, and combat is boring as hell. You just mash two sets of numbers together until the bigger set of numbers win. It's one of those games where peace is actually more fun than war, but I'm...

I'm not saying they suck or anything. Value wise, few AAA titles can match them. But I also feel that they squeeze every ounce of good will out of their fanbase, which swallows all of their PR hook, line and sinker and makes them into demigods of gaming that can do little, if any wrong. Oh, and...
