first episode of dune prophecy doesn't look like the most budget burning scifi show most character are not impressive or likable at least not boring yet

So after having to restart galaxy 34+a few times, I got to play for about 2 hours. I really dislike how UE it looks, had an out of video memory crash, but otherwise I didn't notice any glaring bugs, some clipping and weird cloth physics, though could be that dude had the badonkadonk of a neolithic fertility godess. The facial animations are true to Shadow of Chernobyl, spot on there. Had my usual trouble with mouse sensitivity settings and I made the mistake of turning off all the yellow paint before I made the choice of game difficulty, so they got turned back on. I restarted twice because of this, but turns out all I had to do was go into the menu in game and turn that off

I used to love alot of the commercials we had here, they were high quality then, and they didn't advertize booze, crypto, gambling or other scams which made it a bit more tolerable.

Ah ****, here we go again.

Yes. Now I'm missing out on some endurance bonus thingy, which sucks a bit, but oh well.

Well people are slaves to Steam, they'll Rise Up. Hate speech is pretty normal for gamers, though

At least three now, since there was another one today. Notable things about it include: US deputy Ambassador Robert Wood voting, again, not Thomas-Greenfield. Clearly they know it's a dreadful look and don't want their main (wo)man associated with it. 14-1 vote, US sole vote against, and brought to the Council by no less than 10 of its members AP article has slightly different tone from their one about Russia's veto. But I'll give them some credit for this quote even if it is after the usual mealy mouthed apologia: Indeed, they managed to put the same quote in the article twice. Shame they didn't directly contrast it with Robert Wood's claims that the US had to veto because: which is an incredibly bare faced lie even for a politician, so much so even the French UN ambassador called him on it.

Hmm I took a quick search of the gamedata in PoE1. There is a conversation where that variable is gets set that plays in the final dungeon. If you don't have him in the party at that point the variable is never set above 0. In such a case I'd assume when importing a save to Deadfire it will compares 2 other variables "n_Aloth_authority" vs "n_Aloth_autonomy". Which are incremented during several key conversations with him in PoE1. Whichever one is higher represents his decision at the end of PoE1. n_Aloth_authority is the higher number = "He became grandmaster of the Leaden Key-" n_Aloth_autonomy is the higher number = "He became dedicated to dismantling the Leaden Key-" The custom legacy creation choice doesn't need to set these variables. Likewise here I'd just assume that any negative number means Edér became sceptical at the end of PoE1. Though regardless of his opinion on Eothas, he doesn't agree with the persecution of worshipers of Eothas.

RoK has been reticent because they'd already been supplying Ukraine since 2022- via 3rd parties. Indeed, in the article I grabbed the quote below from their threat in response is to sell 7bn$ more equipment to Poland; above the 14bn they sold Poland in 2022, for example. Mostly though they're also now in yet another of their cyclic crap throwing (literally this time) contest with the north. (The South Korean claims are also not the same as those made by Ukraine, the US or the media despite many media claims to the contrary. Their claim was 3000 troops sent for training, not combat, increasing to 10k; but still with no mention of combat. Not 10k+ there and actively fighting. Which is closer to what I've been saying than to Ukrainian claims, let alone the 100k from some media. to whit: "South Korea’s intelligence chief told lawmakers Wednesday that North Korea has sent 3,000 troops, including special forces, to Russia for training, and that the North plans to increase that number to 10,000 by December.")

DPRK is the boogeyman if they are that important a target. But I had meant in Ukraine, I misread Bruce's "in Ukraine conflict". Saw some people saying the strikes in Bryansk were Neptunes, but doubt that. Zelensky does say they'll make 3000 next year. https://kyivindependent.com/zelensky-missiles-drones/ Screw the aid then, if they're not buying our stuff.

It's what the Jaws dude from the James Bond movies has when the sun is shining.

Is that the crow assassin lady The Zone has 100 extra FPS with FSR frame generation, 200 fps at FSR quality with 4k output feels super smooth. It's like a cheat button. Only smooth as long as you have a solid base to work with though. 60-80 fps or so. The zone still doesn't have girls. Not a one so far.

And I'm still Bloodborning. Eileen just died in front of me. Henryk killed her before I was even able to get to her. Now I'm missing out on the fight at the Cathedral. God damnit.

That would be terrible indeed. Everybody knows, that most hateful number is 7, because 7-8-9… I’ll see myself out now

anything can be dog whistle number 8 could be part of a dog whistle too imagine if they include all use of 8 as hateful too

It’s from someone from Virginia, who was citing the ADL report, which has said that 0,08% of all emotes on Steam are of hateful character… The most ridiculous about this report is, that half of the emotes, which they pointed to, were Pepe Frogs…

During last week destruction of few hundred of mechanized units in Kursk, UA has captured loads and loads of DPRK weapons out of the wreckages. No captured/killed soldiers yet shown, that’s true, but even if we hop on the western media hate bandwagon for providing “fake news”, the South Korean agencies and government , which have been very reluctant to report about anything similar in the last 2 and half years, confirming this information, makes this information pretty plausible…

some politician are trying to take down steam not sure how much of a panic this will stir up

Looks like the retraction was preliminary here as well. Today UA hit Kursk HQ with allegedly DPRK officers on board with 12 SCALPS/Storm Shadows over the course of less than 60 seconds. Must have been very high value target, if they decide to spend more than 30 millions on a single strike, while still having shortage of these weapons…

The Kursk only restrictions were inaccurate reporting, as the first ATACMS hit Bryansk Oblast edit: now I have noticed, that you already reported the info about Bryansk

Same, I lost about half my names when they merged servers way back when. I would have rather had KOTOR3

Today in Kyiv 24 TV has been broadcasted, that Biden has told Trump during their latest meeting, that he will approve ATACMS strike deep in Russia. Trump has not protested against this idea.

Historically the US has vetoed ceasefires using exactly the same 'logic' as Russia did with Sudan, ie it's an internal matter. It won't be the last time for either and usually resolves down to whether they think the side they're supporting is winning rather than humanitarian concerns vs respect for countries rights. Most recently the US were sole veto- and sole 'no'- on Israel/ Palestine ceasefire resolutions at least twice. Unsurprisingly, that wasn't a sign of US isolation, but US strength and unflinching resolve. If you were US UN staff, at least. That also doesn't count the (multiple) times resolutions weren't even brought to the table because their veto was inevitable. David Seymour is definitely a populist, not a fascist, though he'd happily have fascists vote for him. His bill has literally no chance of passing, it's a way for him to drum up votes. Irony being* his party is our 'no waste, no red tape!' 'libertarian' one (hence his stated reasons for the Treaty Principles Bill of vote equality) and he's insisting on advancing a bill with zero prospects and which will cost the taxpayer a minimum of 4 million dollars. *Well, the whole thing is an irony fest because both sides are riddled with first order hypocrites: Watching the same people who laugh at the US obsession with their 240 year old founding document and think its inviolability is silly so much later obsessing about our 180 years old one and thinking it should be inviolable and relevant forever. Cogovernance proponents insisting that that still has equal voting rights for everyone. Then being baffled when their explanations are clearly that votes wouldn't be equal, but it's a good thing they won't be, and that not convincing anyone votes will be equal but rather the opposite. Pearl clutching about 'war dances' in parliament from people who got upset at complaints about the throat slitting (it's releasing the spirit!) gesture in the All Black's haka and think the English should, ahaha, Morris Dance back rather than get upset.

I am inclined here to agree with Zoraptor again. The statement, that “We do not review bad games” does not hold water IMHO. As I can say, that I have played few games, which have been absolutely terrible/boring snorefest, which has got the rating of 7/10 or even above. They do review bad games, but they are afraid to give it proper evaluation. Newest Dragon Age is prime example of that IGN and Gamespot gave it 9/10 and Eurogamer even 10/10 FFS… If this does not show the current state of quality of game reviews, than I do not know what

Told a friend that if the game wasn't crashing every 30 seconds, HoC's launch is still better than SHoC's. They told me they couldn't even get past pre-compiling shaders, the game kept crashing, so okay, maybe it is worse than SHoC's.
