I dunno how this is supposed to go from shooting missiles to regime change and I don't think Israel and the US do either.

Netflix removed their bid for WB. It looks like only Paramount is now in play. Would this be better for the future of WB gaming studio, or not?

Looks like at least one Grand Wizard did not figured it out 🤷‍♂️

Perhaps just greater range? For example, he could almost immediately connect with Frodo when the hobbit put on the ring. With the rings he can manipulate multiple heads of state at the same time at a distances of many weeks' ride.

According to the Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2026/mar/01/us-israel-war-on-iran-ayatollah-ali-khamenei-i-dead-latest-reports "More details are emerging on who will lead Iran during a transition period, following Khamenei’s death. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, Judiciary chief Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei and another official from the country’s legal council will be part of the trio overseeing the transition, according to state television which cited Mohammad Mokhber, one of Khamenei’s advisors. Last summer during the 12-day war with Israel, Khamenei named three potential successors should he be killed. Reports earlier this month indicated that Khamenei had named four layers of succession for key government and military jobs, in an effort to ensure regime survival in the face of a US-Israeli attack."

I don't know about Xbox...but I am using numerous mods on PC.

I do suspect it will now make the job of the Secret Service more difficult.

There's zero chance of there not being a succession plan for Khamenei especially. He's old, and not in great health.

I think they are just extremely scared of crashing the market. They started the attack once market was closed, and it will be "completed" on monday no matter what, when market reopens. To me this is a clear sign that all the top stuff is controlled by our awesome billionaire class. You can do whatever fraud/ crime you want, but do not crash the market, and do not take their money. If your war doesn't influence the market, just do whatever you want. Remember how Bondi raged "the DOW is over 50,000!" when questioned about her running protection for pedophiles. Nothing matters except the market.

the current usa obsession with decapitation strike seem to be projection if it scare usa leadership it should terrify leadership everywhere

The recent reports is that the Iran government has a four person deep hierarchy for every meaningful position, which should mean Khamenei's death will either be meaningless or make things worse for everyone involved.

I hope not, since I dislike/have zero interest in Elder Scrolls (overall). Looks more like Breath of the Wild+other adventure-rpg mashups, maybe with a hint of Witcher 3 (but not like W3, mind). The world aesthetics, questing/exploration reminds me a little bit of Enshrouded vibe, too. Again, not saying the same, just kinda reminds me a bit. EDIT: the dev's other/most recent game was a MT online MMO or something (same engine). I have a feeling this is a non-MT/SP version of that, kinda. Or it'll be cosmetic MT's after release, or maybe new chrs, area DLC. Who knows tho.

Should be a turkey shoot, might as well jump in.

Filling that TES VI void.

They seem more confident they killed Khamenei

I know, I know, possibly way over-hyped game. Still. Single-player? In-house engine (not UE5 etc)? Possibly optimized well even for somewhat older systems while still looking pretty good (I don't think it's as uber visuals as some ppl think in that area, but it's way way more than good enough/nice for a 3rd person)? Giant open world? Visceral combat, mounts/traversal, exploration? Lots of puzzles and varied quests? Well, if the first early reviews are even 75% positive, I'm buying it to try it. Although the super spastic wind-blown trees kinda annoy me. lol. Also, pre-defined chr (main, others/companions to switch between later or something?) not chr creation, if one cares about that. A massive quest-y-story-adventure perhaps, vs. "serious rpg". Edit: also for those who care, its base price is $70 (USA). So not a cheaper side release.

What concerns me is the military objectives have changed from ending Iran's nuclear program to a rant about regime change That's Israeli influence for sure And this was 10 hours after Iran had apparently agreed to the nuclear terms in Oman So now its about an impossible demand, how would you ever achieve regime change in Iran without an invasion and a massive ground offensive and then long-term US commitment like Afghanistan or Iraq Iran is not anything like Venezuela where it was easy to accomplish Al JazeeraPeace ‘within reach’ as Iran agrees no nuclear material s...Oman's Foreign Minister says most recent indirect talks between US, Iran 'really advanced, substantially'."Iran agreed during indirect talks with the United States never to stockpile enriched uranium, said Oman’s top diplomat, who described the development as a major breakthrough. Oman’s Foreign Minister Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi also said on Friday that he believed all issues in a deal between Iran and the US could be resolved “amicably and comprehensively” within a few months. "If the ultimate objective is to ensure forever that Iran cannot have a nuclear bomb, I think we have cracked that problem through these negotiations by agreeing [on] a very important breakthrough that has never been achieved any time before,” Al Busaidi said. “The single most important achievement, I believe, is the agreement that Iran will never ever have nuclear material that will create a bomb,” he said. “Now we are talking about zero stockpiling, and that is very, very important because if you cannot stockpile material that is enriched, then there is no way that you can actually create a bomb,” he added. '

I known DJT likes to gamble, but this attack can set of a cycle of revenge retaliations. I can't see Iran responding with a token attack this time; they will want to deter future raids. The whole event appears reckless, unwarranted, and poorly justified. Did the administration even bother to notify Congress?

Finished Ender Magnolia. Behold, the best benches and the best sitting postures: Not a bench. On the path to the second ending.

If I remember correctly, there were 2 separate EU Steam regions previously, which were later merged into one due to a few publishers being illegally customer-unfriendly. https://steamdb.info/blog/steam-geo-locking-europe/ Finished Ender Magnolia. I've got the second ending and the last few achievements (which required a bit of farming in NG+; I think the bosses' movesets are slightly different there). I've also tried the Boss Rush mode, but not quite successfully - the setup is not possible to switch between the battles and the earlier bosses hit much harder than I remember. I could increase the difficulty and farm mini-bosses to unlock the gallery (sprites and concept art), but I'd rather leave it on a positive note. Overall, it is a delightful Metroidvania. Attempted to resume my playthrough of Absinthia. Realised that I do not like the RPGMaker combat (no positioning, etc.) and controls (the movement grid is very rigid), while there is only so much the developers can do about it. The story is fine - a group of teenagers from a no-name village go after a random bandit/cult leader after their village gets attacked.

Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates, which are waging proxy war against each other in Yemen and Sudan just announced, that they are joinining together military operations of Israel and USA against Iran.
