That has to be one of the most tone deaf and evil (the banal greedy kind) of things I've ever heard.
While law enforcement can be good for citizens and society, Capone said, they can “threaten revenue streams for organizations that depend on doing crime.”
Same vibe right?
It doesn't have an auction house that automatically sells gear but, it does a an official website that allows you to list gear for sale. One of "Musk's" listings (Maybe the only? I don't remember) is a garbage crossbow for 18 divine orbs. That's an ass load of currency in SC trade, let alone HC.
Yeah I had one of these in the late 2000's. Had to wear a fanny pack to receive the data from it.
PoE is definitely a complicated game (probably too complicated for its own good) but there are some community programs that are almost necessary to play. Path of Building (the community fork) is essentially a required tool if you want to actually make anything resembling a build. I started playing in 3.21(I think, whenever crucible league was) and have more than 1000 hours of play time. A lot of that was spent in my hideout looking at PoB. And I think I'm just now getting a moderate understanding of the game.
Also the easiest way to understand some of the mechanics like heist, Jun, or any other mechanics you don't like is to simply not. I just ignore heist and Jun stuff completely.
Of course if you want a simpler game Last Epoch is really good as well and I'm excited to see what they do with it in the future. Also, it might be an unpopular opinion but I think Diablo 4 is in a pretty good place right now. I definitely don't get the longevity out of this season like I do with PoE but I did enjoy it.
I think the fact that he used scare quotes himself implies that they don't believe the US actually exports freedom either.
Because when the oil runs out they want something else to prop up the regime. This is the easiest way to do that because it's all just money based. They don't need to create or produce anything. Just spend oil money they already have.
