The USA was never going invade Greenland, that was just the expected sensationalism and SM drama with this story. There were comparisons to the regime change in Venezuela to how Greenland was going to be annexed and they not remotely the same thing for various reasons that include how Congress wont support any military action over the taking of Greenland despite the rhetoric from several of Trumps spokespeople. Would they declare Greenland an example of narcoterrorism Trump initially tried the threat of economic bullying to try to take Greenland through tariffs and now he was dropped that idea We dont know what this " framework " deal is he suggested and I doubt he even knows. But yes the EU and Canada stood there ground and it was good to see some backbone but its what you expect because as we discussed this was about the future of a sovereign territory that is part of an EU country and they had to draw a line

That would be classic Trump "negotiating" at work: rip up the agreement we had, bluster and threaten, get the same deal or a little better or maybe even a little worse (at the cost of a lot of good will), announce to the world how brilliant he is and that he got what he wanted. -

TallyBrines started following Wasp greaves

Hi, I am on the PTB. Me and my friend have killed a wasp and a wasp drone, yet we cant make the greaves for the wasp set. We have the chestplate and the helmet, just no legs. If its a pickup somewhere then please tell me where.
-
I can't craft wasp greaves. I see the Helmet and Chest. No greaves. I have killed both a wasp and wasp drone, and have lint rope. Xbox if that helps.

Pretty much. Apparently just talking first isn't Alpha Male enough.

Once again this sounds exactly like what they can do already right now.

I am playing this game every day now (v1.0.6.0), I do try and resist it, but it keeps drawing me back, with me unable to resist the siren call! I am retired, now, so this is how I have the time to invest in this game (and the ROI is remarkable...;))--and I struggle with a real guilt complex I have developed because I haven't written nearly as many wonderful, gushing posts about this game as I feel it deserves! I can't though, because that would wind up having the opposite effect! But everything in it--the artistry, the music, the dialogue, the voice acting, the GRAPHICS--are just great--first-class entertainment all the way...;) I love the plot(s), the humor, the amusing and thankfully under-done sarcasm and wonderful satire--it just all works together so well. And this game richly rewards exploration and discovery like few other games I've played through. (I haven't finished this one yet--no way am I rushing this experience. It's too rare in gaming. I shall s-t-r-e-tch it out to the max!) If there were Oscars for 3d games, then this game would carry most of the awards, I'm confident. The game is non-stop content--so many aspects to so much! Ok, I love the game, if that hasn't been apparent thus far! It's a tour de force in all respects! It seems if intriguing things are hidden under every leaf and rock, and when you turn a few over you will see what I mean! Let the game pull you into one new direction after another, and you will be delighted you did! Savor every moment the game delivers, because there are a ton of them...;) OK, with that out of the way, let me advise 9070 XT owners to please INSTALL the latest 26.1.1 WHQL Adrenalins under Win11! (I play under Win11 build 26200.7623, 32GBs system ram, 7800x3D running stock, several NVMe's--nothing out of the ordinary, really. I run at 4k, full screen, all eye-candy on, with all RT options maxed with HDR maxed! This game utilizes all of it--and sometimes I just look around and get absorbed by my environs! That's so rare in gaming, you know? But I feel like the hardware is finally getting good enough to convey what the artists see in their minds when they draw and paint and sculpt inside their game environment.) The read.me with the newer drivers states that they've done something to get the drivers working well/better with aspects of the Unreal Engine 5.x, and although it didn't mention TOW2 by name, it's easy to see that the game is benefiting from it! Whereas even with the 1060 patch I would get hitching in motion every once in a while, just often enough to draw my attention when it happened--OK, today, I've played for hours and so far I haven't experienced ANY hitching! (I play at 4k at 120Hz with Vsync ON AND also with AMD VRR support ON, as well as AMD's Freesync Premium now working fine--not a single Arkansas crash thus far (I'd love to get the story on that little naming convention...;)) SO NEEDLESS to say (but I will say it anyway), I am extremely happy with all things TOW2! And one last plug: the combination of this 9070 XT plus this Philips Evnia 42" OLED is the best yet--the best I've ever seen. If you are interested, highly recommended! Keep it coming, OBSIDIAN!

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/21/us/politics/trump-greenland-threats-diplomacy-force.html "The announcement followed a NATO meeting on Wednesday where top military officers from the alliance’s member states discussed a compromise in which Denmark would give the United States sovereignty over small pockets of Greenlandic land where the United States could build military bases, according to three senior officials familiar with the discussion."

So I'm guessing he backed down completely. Claiming victory for something he could have gotten with no effort. I think Europe and Canada discovered that it feels empowering not to be a bunch of pussies. They would do it again.

I do not doubt for a second either, that if Greenland didn't have friends and connections, ICE would march in and relocate the Inuit population to some tiny reservation in the Florida glades, for their own protection of course, while Greenland is being strip mined. Painful colonial past does seem preferable to a painful colonial present

I guess no one plays games anymore? Nobody has commented since Sunday! I've been playing Stoneshard. It's pretty close to done, and there is a ton of content to explore. I love the art style in this game. I've also been thinking about another run of JA3 but I'm having trouble deciding on a starting crew.

Thanks, its important to get collaboration with this type of feedback. I am going to share what you guys have mentioned with my family because we currently discussing Greenland and what the US wants to do and my SA family dont know any Danes to get personal feedback so forum feedback like this is important Its interesting you and @Gorgon mentioned Danish Colonialism because its not something I was aware of. In all the discussions and research I have done about European Colonialism its almost all around Africa so Denmark was never mentioned. But I see there was 1 Danish colony which I had never heard of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danish_Gold_Coast Just for the record I have watched lots of interviews with Greenlanders lately and none of them seemed to have a negative opinion of Denmark and they all prefer the current setup to being annexed by the USA Its probably because the anxiety of becoming Trump's latest "win " is much more real than what happened in the past and Denmark has made amends as Gorgon mentioned?
-
I think Gorgon covered the most important bits really. Disclaimer: I was never a nationalist to begin with, having lived more of my adult life abroad than in Denmark and I believe money is something better spent before you can't use it anymore. So no hoarder of wealth either. What I do remember from my early years, thinking about Greenland and The Faeroe Islands, can be summed up as "they are". They were part of the realm. Different people, different cultures and interesting history. But not a sense of "ownership". More a sense of bewilderment why anyone would want to live in such cold areas Do I think of them as "my people"? I probably does on a subconscious level, i.e. never thinking of the people living there as "foreigners". Just fellow citizens with the misfortune of living in a cold climate. I also know that, Greenland in particular, was not a happy story and Denmark was no benevolent colonial power. Like the Australian Aborigines, the Inuit people were subjected to abuse, atrocities and mistreatment. Eugenics programs, forced sterilization of young women (we are talking modern history here, 1970's) and generations of kids forcefully removed from their parents. Very similar to the Australian "stolen generation" programs. If the people of Greenland resent Denmark, I wont blame them. i still think both parts would benefit of keeping status quo as it is today though. Greenland minding its own business in most aspects, represented in the Danish parliament, the country subsidized by the government in Copenhagen because the living standard is not affordable by the local economy. Iirc, Greenland also has the right to do its own business with investors about the resources they have, so those minerals etc. are not disposable income for the government in Copenhagen.

^The Rip was pretty good. -
I stopped watching Trumps speeches at live events about 14 months ago and I just follow highlights But my stepmom was very angry and asked me to come watch "what Trump was saying " So to be polite I watched about 20 minutes of his Davos ramblings and it was the predictable waste of time with him going off script and peddling revisionist and selective " facts" He megalomania is getting worse as he gets older, he did make me laugh because he makes such inaccurate points about history and world events

Good job picking this guy.

Forgive me if this seems like a super obvious question, but have you crouched and then jumped into the vent? I don't remember where the vent is positioned, but I find that for vents that are positioned high on a wall, I have to crouch first, then jump in (often after jumping on top of some other furniture). If you've already tried that and it hasn't worked for you, could you specify what platform you're using, and what game version you're seeing on the initial game menu?
-
So basically what we all knew from first day on. The real question is, why are they pulling this out of the hat now? Why do they need a fall-guy now? Is just this another attempt to silence the Epstein files that are still not released, over a month since a judge said it all has to be released?
