  • I never blamed the archer on the walls of Helms Deep. Waiting for the enemy to get all the way up to your walls was dumb enough, but waiting while having drawn your bow for what must’ve felt like ages for a human archer, is fucking rediculous. Terrible leadership.

    You don’t want your archers to be excausted before the battle even starts, just so you can look really unbothered on top of your wall.



  • I suppose a percentage based on multiple factors could work. Like, just spitballing numbers here.

    • 50% would be based off of ownership. If the ownership is completely european, the product gets 50%
    • 50% would be based off of manufacturing location. If 20% of the product is imported from elsewhere, then the product gets 20% of 50%, so 10%.
    • Final score, 60% european. Label the product with this percentage, and you’ll possibly have an advantage over your competitor if your percentage is higher.

    It would however be quite expensive to make the documentation for every single product sold, but Denmark already requires something more convoluted and detailed with construction materials and environmental impact, so I suppose it wouldn’t be impossible to implement. Just a matter of will.


  • Some of them are, sure, but the people working and producing the products in a different country will also pay taxes to that country.

    Even if we ignore the workers’ taxes, if I was to buy an ingredient for my product from an american company, they will pay taxes from the money I paid them. This is why what Salling is doing is at best a bit useless and at worst completely misleading. I will have no clue wether or not something has been imported and repackaged, had ingredients imported, or is 100% european produced with the labeling. In essense all it tells me, is that the person who sold the final product is situated in Europe in some capacity.



  • My biggest issue with survival games is usually the lack of a goal. If Jagex treats this game the same way as OSRS or RS3 concerning quests, this could very well be a really nice experience. It could also very well be a very generic survival clone that adds absolutely nothing new to the genre.

    It’s also not the first time Jagex has fucked up games. It often seems like they have absolutely no idea what makes OSRS and RS3 as good as they are, and at least for OSRS, the dedication of the mods seem to be the only reason the game isn’t dead.

    I suppose we’ll have to wait and see which direction they take it. I hope it’ll be good, but I absolutely expect them to shit the bed on this.






  • Sure they’re increasing their defense spending. But not really in the interest of USA.

    USA wanted european defense spending to increase for multiple reasons:

    1. To funnel european money into the american military industrial complex.
    • This isn’t happening right now. Europeans are prioriticing european contractors.
    1. To fight in american wars of agression around the world.
    • Fat fucking chance when USA is threatening wars of agression against NATO countries.
    1. To defend against Russia.
    • With Putin owning Trump, this is now against Trump’s interests.
    • While the threat from Russia is pretty big, they’re not in any way in a position to fight anything bigger than Ukraine.
