I don't care what we learn in school, Cleopatra was black :Kappa:
The really sad thing is that Jada Pinkett Smith special actually dragged a friend of mine who's an egyptologist in there, but I don't think she realized what the overall special was about or she probably would have kept the hell away from it. She rabidly hates disinformation and would have avoided it like the plague had she known it was afrocentrist.

A number of times I've heard her say (in fact, insist) on pointing out that the Egyptian language seems more SEMITIC than anything else. It's quite notable.

BTW, tho not infallible, egyptologists are severely well-educated in their profession and around it. Egyptology's a profession that doesn't fuck around: there are no bachelor's degrees in Egyptology, no Masters degrees in Egyptology; you go hard or you just go home; PhD all the way or nothing. Until you've busted your ass and solidly learned what there is to be learned in your subfield and got your doctorate, you ain't nothing but a scrub.

Yet many of them are happy to push a narrative they know to be untrue because it would severley discredit the region and everything they want you to believe.

Zahi Hawess anyone?

It's pop-culture ancient Egypt. No real resemblance outside of superficial visual and name elements to the original.

It is worth noting that if you're looking at Egypt in Cleopatra's/Ptolemaic Dynasty times, you're actually looking at very northern Greeks, because her entire lineage was Macedonian (tho there's apparently some argument on the Greek side as to whether or not Macedonians should be considered Greeks, despite the Greeks I knew reflexively claiming Alexander as their own: this was a major point of contention for some Greek friends of mine, in the past).

For a certainty, unless you want to see everyone, men and women both, shaved of head and wearing wigs, you definitely don't want to go authentic ancient Egyptian. :rolleyes:
Yeah i know, i love history and watch a lot of videos on youtube from like Kings and Generals, History Marche etc.

That guy just can't keep his hands out of the pie, from what I've heard. He also seems to like blocking potentially useful research projects that are not particularly invasive and could forward really cool ideas.

Mind you, I've never been told anything directly, and I hadn't actually asked: I didn't want my friend to potentially get herself in trouble for ticking off the guy with all the leverage.

There's already enough flack, from what I understand, for her being female in a male-heavy field. Last I heard she already retired.

Tbh i don't think any kinks would be off the table at this point, the dev already make Zaton pretty much accepted anything that throw at him from s&m, sharing or feet worship,...

Yeah, I agree! But, just remember that some of these kinks things you are pointing about Zaton are optional, and he only accept it if you choose to do so.

And talking about kink stuffs, lets say I am curious to known why Zeta city has no "whorehouse" or "brothels"? I mean, it is too much obvious that in a pos-apocaliptic world, people will do everything to survive(including the women). So, where are the prostitutes? There is a women(Rue) in the Raider camp that are whoring herself, but I doubt she is the only one in Zeta. So, I ask where is located the famous "Red Light District" in Desert Stalker?

I don't known if ZetanDS is planning to add this kind of stuffs in his game, but, I think he should considerate about it. I mean, he could give a path in the game where Zaton would run a brothel or something like that, just like he runs the Raider camp as boss. And, as the boss, Zaton could make missions in order help his girls and in order to recruit more girls for his brothel property.

Hmm...Will this recent release change from beta, to complete for this update? As I noticed this went from beta to alpha, then back to beta again. Just wondering, as I would like to replay from the start...just to remember the past content I've forgotten.

Regards.

Desert Stalker releases in this way: 0.16 BETA. 0.16a, 0.16b, 0.16x, and so on...

0.16 BETA is not the same as 0.16b. There might even be a 0.16c coming up, if you look at the dev logs posted here.

OK, thanks...I'll wait a bit longer so my replay can benefit playing a more solid release (bugs ironed out).

Regards.

Which is absurd. More DP options during sharing scenes would add to the spice.
I totally agree. If the sharing option is there, why not DP? As long as it makes sense for the story. I think that if the scene had Shani instead of Katerina people would complain. The scene would still be hot as hell, though.

I agree with you! A game that let you explore options and give you options for all variety of fetishs, should be considerated one of the top games. I known not everyone is into DP sex, gangbang, orgy and such things, but mostly of the top AVN around has something spice as this.
If there´s a game where those kinks make sense it´s this one. A society where sex is present in every corner and treated so mundanely makes the perfect excuse to have characters just go at eachother.

Can you recommend some, please?
I know and I get it, but if it´s done right, it can be very spicy.

The whole city is like a Red Light District.
