I'll tack on to this, the Bond series should be a perpetual 50's and exploration of that world tangent in all things. OF COURSE, that will never happen because perception control is a found basis of their work and any alternative lifestyle with higher propensity of standard of living would be killed off.
But man, what a great series it would've been to enjoy.
yup. remember senior, established gold miners/silver miners if you need to play the spot price of precious metals. otherwise if you want leverage, use the junior miners etfs like SILJ or GDXJ.
never trade the direct, paper price of any metal, way too ((manipulated)) by Goldman Sachs and the other commodities desks.
Matt, you just conflated being pro-masculine men & pro-teminine, beautiful women + anti-Censorship in videogames with the stance that prostitutes & pornstars should be allowed & praised at the RNC. Shame on you.
Every issue in its own avenue. There should be no pornstars & prostitutes being uplifted with porn as their speaking credential into positions of perceived legitimacy in the halls of power.
The answer of winning multiple battles against DEI, Woke ideology, and Marxist-Feminists ISN"T the IMMEDIATE return to 1998 Full Christian Puritan pearl-clutching in the social/entertainment sphere as misled Christians do exactly what was just being pushed back against. Censorship is NEVER the way, design games that exemplify Christian values and the Heroic, Knightly way.
Demonstrate by right example, and by comparison to other titles you will show the path forward. Otherwise you allow the agents of Satan to continue to play both sides as master manipulators that they are.
My Brother in Christ, this is the exact wrong way to go about asking such a question as you truly wish.
We are all flawed, perpetually seeking to reforge & anneal ourselves as we become better Men in seeking apoptheosis. Yet there were and are Christians, taking literal arrogant "holier than thou" attitudes that you just fell into with this post. It happens to often with recent converts, and especially with Evangelical protestants.
I will attempt to provide you with the Traditionalist Christian answer:
- Holier than thou" attitudes. Protestantism .. Modern Christianity, while fiery & passionate has alienated too many by taking the "born-again" attitude and joyous zeal to then use their presumed salvation in a manner to preach, chastise, and punish those who have not heard the Good News. We are called to spread the Good News, but it is through righteous living - good form - discipline, and brotherly conversation. Not through fiery pulpit beating, public scourging, & brimstone oration. I'm not a trained apolopgist with verses at hand for every statement, but immediately -
Luke 6:41-42 Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye but fail to notice the beam in your own eye? / How can you say, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while you yourself fail to see the beam in your own eye? You hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
James 4:11-12 Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. And if you judge the law, you are not a practitioner of the law, but a judge of it. / There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able to save and destroy. But who are you to openly judge your neighbor?
Romans 14:10-13 Why, then, do you judge your brother? Or why do you belittle your brother? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat. / It is written: “As surely as I live, says the Lord, every knee will bow before Me; every tongue will confess to God.” / So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God. ...
"The ultimate gift the Lord gave us was free will, the Freedom to Choose is the Freedom to make the Wrong Choice". Focus on yourself and the family you were granted dominion over as the responsible head of the household of, let God judge in the final days.
- Modern Protestant Judeo-Christian water carrying for Zionism. "Christian-Zionism".
With the rise of the European Protestant movement the turn of the century American Evangelism & the falling to swindlers such as William E. Blackstone, The Bush Family, the Dennis Pragers, Ben Carsons, etc. Modern American Conservative Christian Leaders are Protestant & Pro-Zion Talmudic Judaism.
This was one of the greatest subversions of Christianity, on par with the Spanish Judaic-"Conversos" that infiltrated the Catholic Church via the Jesuits and are responsible for the mistake of the Second Vatican Council & destruction of the Tridentine Mass & Roman Catholic Rite. There exist other poisonous roots, such as the rewriting of modern Bibles via comprimised publishers to remove "Pharisees" for Priest and "Jews" for "the People". As well as certain passages.
One of the reasons John F. Kennedy was maligned & eventually killed was the fact he followed in his Father's footsteps as was staunchly on guard vs Rabbinic policy & was the first Traditionalist Catholic President. He was also the last, and Biden doesn't count as we all know him being a meatpuppet.
Orthodoxy and Traditional Roman Catholicism, the twin trees of the Church both were staunchly on guard versus Judaism till modern times. Please consult:
St. John Chrysostom's "Adversus Judaeos" & St. Thomas Acquinas' "On the Jews"
For Christ's sake, look at how many American Christian advertisements siphon money toward Israel & Africa, as well as missionary work. Instead of helping build up their local communities and policy.
- "Love thy neighbor. I bring not peace, but a sword". Ancient truths misused to push modern ecumenical policy.
Modern Christianity has been subverted by chasing the modern audience. One only needs to look at the prevalance of Pride flags, BLM flags, the fall of the Episcopalian Church, homosexual priests & female deacons further pushing Feminism & Destruction of the Nuclear Family. Too many modern Christians pursue temporal pleasures and forget what balance, moderation is. On the flipside, we have our glorious leaders channeling zealotry & passion for restoration into self-conflagaration in the public sphere, alienating those most needing the core Christian message. Yet subversion is used for very passages against those who understand the spirit of the message but are plagued by doubt:
Mark 12:31 And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
This was supposed to BE YOUR TRIBE. Your neighbor, your community in those times were those tribes, your blood. You are not beholden to sacrifice your family & tribe for the hostile, foreign stranger. The Good Samaritan is the answer, momentary respite and succor -- not in perpetuity. Not a full welfare package as you are replaced.
I could go further, but these three will have to do. It is not easy being a Christian and many will be aligned against the principles. Furthermore you have to balance love of the divine with your responsibilities of the physical. Finally, those who worship in the Synagogue of Satan, directly or indirectly will always attempt to use words, actions, and lawfare to mislead, defame, and subvert as they can. Ultimately - be the example you wish to see, and that shining light will draw others to emulate you. Too often many attempt to use that shining light to burn those that need saving.

lol no, this isn't the normal rightwing Christian Gamers that have been fighting against liberal, woke censorship. Please be aware of well poisoning & false flag accounts. Please be aware these "Christian" purity posters happened right around the time Trump was elected & multiple woke entertainment projects flopped. stop falling for this.
What is extremely worrying .. is how bad the potential for PC Gaming scene to get when Gabe reaches the end of his path & dies. So few people with merit & principle exist at that stage of control and I do think there will be a subtle bloodbath to control the major hub for western vidya entertainment.
After all, the Feminists & Marxists captured the high ground in physical book publishing for SF&F and destroyed Masculinity in the printed scene since 2009-2010. Lord of the Rings, Foundation, Starship Troopers, and Wheel of Time would not be published as a series under these overseers.
08th MS Team is a classic if you want Universal Century, small unit mobile suit combat in Vietnam. Gundam Thunderbolt offers a newer side-story look for Universal Century. I've always loved Gundam Wing & Endless Waltz, but if ihad to choose a non-UC ... mmm you could try the Mercenary Kids of Iron Blooded Orphans. However Gundam Wing remains the nest non-UC imho.
On a side tangent - want a kino space anime with great combat & story, check out Outlaw Star.
