Hey Smith, I'm fairly inactive too but doing good! Got one last bulk of academic stuff to do then I'm free for a year to make tonnes of games. I'm also considering downgrading my site a little + maybe changing the domain to something more reflective of the casualness of the projects it showcases.
ah ok. i couldnt get my hands on sin war so i started with the first 2 in the archive. if all goes well i should finish the sin war trilogy in 9 days. Diablo lore is quite epic.
I finished legacy of blood and the black road, and both were good. ima start on the sin war trilogy now, before i continure the archive. did you finish all the books btw? cuz im a bit confused from the legacy of blood pertaining to the Arcane Sanctuary and Horazon (wiki has no good info )
Anyway point from this was ty for mentioning the books, havnt actually read something good since LOTR trilogy from 4 years ago.
I prolly won't buy them, I'll borrow from the library or something, but I'm wondering, which order should i read them in, the chronological order (by story) or the chronological order (by release date)? If by release date, could you tell me how it goes? cuz on the diablo wiki they only list it by chronological by timeline.
Are the diablo books at all interesting? Or better yet are they at all canonical to the games? i don't want to miss somethign in the story cuz i didnt read the books, but im not sure if its actually canonical to the games.
Okay, so let's try to finish our matches ASAP. I added you on MSN before you even finished your matches with Vestras. I can play tomorrow at any time. Tell me if you can also play tomorrow.
I think there's always been a split in values. But now there's a split in what reality is. No matter whom you ask, they think a third of the country is insane and wants to destroy the country
I just don't think Trump actually understands how the government works. I'm not going to pretend like I can understand the entirety of government but in my industry he kind of caused massive fucking issues. Tarriffs and the international counters had a pretty significant impact on what I do, it was actually kind of interesting to see though. I live in Idaho so I'm not really concerned with it, it'll be R pretty much the entire way down. We do have ranked choice on our ballot this year though and I DO really care about that. But if we are going to have a federal government we kind of need income tax. They could abolish it and tax states I guess, but then states are just going to raise income taxes. It's not really viable without a very significant and holistic overhaul of how the federal government works, and that isn't something I would expect Trump to do.
Wealth tax would be a disaster. Imagine having to liquidate retirement accounts because you have a tax bill just for unrealized gains. Or your house goes up in price and you have to sell it to pay the tax bill.
we already have a wealth tax on our house, it's called a property tax. I'm talking about extending that to other income-generating assets like private equity, bonds and stocks.
I agree that the effect of that would be to depress asset prices, but I think that's a good thing. Makes it easier for hard working young people to grow their retirement income
Potential problem for a wealth tax for the US would be the ultra rich just offshoring assets in another country without a wealth tax. Those that would eat the wealth tax on, say, stocks, would be the middle class that puts money slowly into the market via the likes of funds.
