I'm not clear that's true. In the past they have repeatedly acted to damage the political interests of the in-power President. With most of their military infrastructure destroyed, Iran may choose to play the long game and try to bottle up the Straits of Hormuz. The goal would be to damage the US economy and influence the next election. Democrats have shown more willingness to deal diplomatically with Iran, rather than resorting to force as redacted has done multiple times already.

New bug in Aunties Choice questline
The cynic in me suspects that because the game is largely played through Gamepass, there's less financial incentive to get the fixes out quickly, as "sales" aren't particularly affected then people can play it as and when. I hope that's not the case, but in this day and age, it probably is.

New insect/human hybrids
from what I Understand or from what I've heard besides the Mysterious Stranger there is another Secret Villain that might be connected to Dr.Tully or to Omiment at least ,so I thought what if this Secret Villain looked into Dr.Tully's other projects he's worked on , well specifically the Mant project and this Secret Villain decided they wanted not only to improve the Mant , but also wanted to make more Insect/Human Hybrids to use for world domination or something like that and I imagine other Human/insect would probably be more horrifying than the Mant I think a few Hybrids should be able wield weapons to make the tougher Improved Mant - an improved version of the Mant the Human/Ant Hybrid , the Improved Mant is smaller than the Original Mant , the Improved Mant is weaker than the Original one but it makes up for it with numbers and can wield weapons , There are Three kinds of the Improved Mant and they are : Crimson Mant - these are Red Ant/Human Hybrids they Wield Daggers Gloom Mants - these are Black Ant/Human Hybrids they Wield Axes Fiery Mants - these are Fire Ant/Human Hybrids , the Fiery Mant spits Boiling Acid they Wield Swords with Spicy effects Marachnid - the Marachnid are Orb weaver/human hybrid , the Marachnid has six limbs instead eight limbs that the Regular Orb weaver has , Marachnids wield Swords . Heetle - the Heetle is an Black Ox Beetle/Human Hybrid , Heetles have thick hides just like the Black Ox Beetle and are Almost as Strong as them too , they Wield big Hammers . Masp - the Masp is a Wasp/Human Hybrid , Masps patrol through the air Looking for the players , Masps Wield Rapiers . Lobo Marachnid - a Wolf Spider/Human Hybrid , the Lobo Marachnids Have Six Limbs instead of Eight limbs that the Regular Wolf Spiders have , they Wield Swords with a sour Effect or poison effect whatever works I guess . Aqua Marachnid - a Aqua Marachnid is a Diving Bell Spider/Human Hybrid , Aqua Marachnids Have Six Limbs instead of Eight limbs that Diving Bell Spiders have , Aqua Marachnids patrol the pond looking for the players , Aqua Marachnids Wield Spears . Blast Heetle - The Bombardier Beetle/Human Hybrid , Blast Heetles can spit out Boiling Acid just like Bombardier Beetles , they Wield Maces Onyx Marachnid/Boss - this is the Hybrid of a Black Widow Spider/human , the Onyx Marachnid has six limbs instead of Eight limbs that the Black Widow has , the Onyx Marachnid could be used as boss that acts like a guard for this secret villain that we don't know , the Onyx Marachnid wields Scimitars with a poison effect this would be the strongest and Deadliest Hybrid .

What are you Playing Now? Volume XIX: The New Beginning of the End of the Middle
I completed Atomfall after about 50 hours I really enjoyed it and I hope they make an Atomfall 2 and because the game exceeded sales expectations this is possible I ended up choosing the Dr Holder ending, I wont go into details because of spoilers but I was happy with the end result I have already mentioned what I liked about the game, the shortfalls dont detract from all the positive aspects of it So in summary its a well done open-world game lots of different quests and several different endings that motivate exploration Quests tips and updates are provided by notes you find and its a good way to progress without making objectives too easy clever mechanics like the barter system, skills advancement and metal collector as a way to find resources a good survival balance of having to find resources and how you find those resources. Its challenging but not frustrating Combat is fun and different skills and weapons matter A good and realistic fast travel system, you can use a rapid travel network which is basically an underground train that only takes you to a single location on each map. So it saves time but you still need to walk to specific locations on each map I decided to play the DLC Red Strain in the middle of the main narrative. You have to play the DLC like this because the game ends once you choose a final option. Red Strain is a worthwhile DLC with new weapons and a whole new map that ties into the main narrative around Oberon Defintely recommend this game and it scores a 70/100 on the highly respected " BruceVC game rating system "

Trump will want to end this latest conflict where he can claim a win which is why he isnt committed to regime change because that is unrealistic and would require massive US ground resources So a " win " to him I predict will be in 5-6 weeks where he can say they have destroyed\degraded much of Irans military infrastructure Iran will obviously accept any ceasefire because they fighting a defensive battle What it will mean in the long-term is Iran will be able to rearm and rebuild because the current regime is still in place with the same fundamentalist views Thats why these latest US objectives have always been nebulous and unconvincing, you can achieve an objective of ending Iran's nuclear objectives because the IAEA can monitor this agreement but how do achieve " Iran wont be a threat to the region " or other similar rhetoric And this confusion exists because the US has allowed itself to be influenced by the Israeli objectives

https://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/crude-oil The oil price is back in the 80's range. This is to be expected because the oil price volatility is only because of risk sentiment , speculation and supply chain issues because of Irans actions to try to deliberately cause economic chaos because they have no other effective military strategy against the US or Israel Its cowardly but also predictable The main point Im highlighting is the oil price will return to levels before this latest conflict because the fundamentals of global oil supply and demand haven't changed As I mentioned before I think we will see the US ending its military campaign in 5-6 weeks so this type of better oil price is good news while we wait " WTI crude futures held below $85 per barrel on Wednesday, holding a sharp decline from the previous session after reports that the International Energy Agency proposed the largest release of oil reserves in its history, surpassing the 182 million barrels the group released in 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine. Oil markets remained volatile amid mounting uncertainty surrounding the Iran war and shipping through the vital Strait of Hormuz. After Trump said that the conflict could end soon, US officials indicated that military operations were intensifying and the chances for diplomatic talks remained slim. Energy Secretary Chris Wright also mistakenly posted a message claiming that the US Navy had escorted an oil tanker through the narrow waterway near Iran, before the White House later clarified that no such operation had taken place. Major Middle Eastern producers have collectively reduced output by more than 6 million barrels a day as the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively shut. "

New bug in Aunties Choice questline
its.lady.adelaide replied to Jaimo150's topic in The Outer Worlds 2: Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)Im also having trouble with the VPs not showing up when I "Report to Head Office Tower" during the NOW HIRING: INVALUABLE DISPOSABLE AGENT quest, so I cant progress further at all. I cant go back a save to try and push it through either, so that sucks.

The All Things Political Topic
I'm wondering what the "victory" conditions are for this conflict? Is it a win if regime change is achieved? Are we looking for a Treaty on Iranian interests in Lebanon and Gaza? Is there a hypothetical conflict we're concerned about? Otherwise, I'm not clear what it accomplishes, other than raising gas prices and burning a lot of expensive munitions. We supposedly already destroyed Iran's nuclear enrichment and tore up the nuclear treaty. Seems like it's primarily useful as a distraction from Epstein.

No mission appears after the 'archive' mission
Playing public test beta. Got the burgl os chip from the archive. Then there's nothing. No missions beyond this. Did I reach the end of the playable beta or am I missing something?

Joe Robinson replied to Jaimo150's topic in The Outer Worlds 2: Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)Same. I've been exhausting all the other content and it's been a week since I first encountered this bug. It's absolutely game breaking and literally the most upvoted issue on the tracker. It's frustrating that it's still being "investigated" and not considered a "major" bug.

Well that sent me down an unexpected rabbit hole and I learned that the romances give buffs. Wenduag's is pretty good, too!- The All Things Political Topic
https://edition.cnn.com/2026/03/10/politics/iran-begins-laying-mines-in-strait-of-hormuz CBS reports they are planning to do it, so who knows. Trump's response is the usual - "If for any reason mines were placed, and they are not removed forthwith, the Military consequences to Iran will be at a level never seen before." They'll probably end up nuking Iran.- What are you Playing Now? Volume XIX: The New Beginning of the End of the Middle
I have finished Lyria part of Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tale. So far, I am enjoying it. Some of the puzzles are pretty challenging, and some of them can be still won even if I messed up some moves ☺️ Story is interesting and already had few plot twists. I hope after I finish this, I'll find some guide, which will say, what would happen, if I choose different options 😄- Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous, Part VII
Cammy is great. Oh yeah me love new forum software, long time Outside of trying to make your party Unfair viable* (as in playing on Unfair the whole time from start to finish), she's actually one of the better companions - Spirit Hunter is a really good Shaman subclass. Offers good support, decent martial prowess and hexes - and she doesn't run away when you go down the more evil paths of the game - well, of course she doesn't. *Not a problem of Camelia alone. The various patches of the game introduced sweeping nerfs to many mechanics that were, while broken, a staple to make some companions really good to use even on Unfair. Some survived the nerfs, more or less. Ember went from deleting endgame bosses in a single turn to "only" dealing upwards of 600 damage per turn, so there's nothing wrong with bringing her along, but others not so much. There's a hilarious exception in Wenduag - with the new classes she does really well as Sharpshooter, if you don't mind having to babysit her, like, a lot, and with Lann being a waste of a party slot in this day and age, that's a win, I guess. If, uh, you don't mind having Wenduag in the party. Good old times of double dipping AC gains, pet levelling being bugged, Crossblooded bloodlines stacking dragon element damage buffs, Greater Vital Strike damage being multiplied by critical hits, Geniekind stacking and Loremasters being able to pull the wildest feats out of their butts. The issue is not that you can't make companions work on Unfair - epsecially when you play one of the stronger mythic paths, an Angel with a merged spellbook will, even with all the nerfs, still pretty much win the game, but you need to get to that point, and the journey is that much less arduous if you take properly min-maxed mercenaries. Playing Unfair is an excercise in making the game as easy as possible on your patience. Can't really recommend it. Much better to just play on Core Rules and have fun with the game.- New bug in Aunties Choice questline
I have the same issue too, the VPs are nowhere to be found. I've gone and explored everything else waiting for an hotfix and I've now run out of places that I had not been to. I was hoping that a patch would come, but unfortunately I am now going to not finish this and move on to another game. Unless a patch arrives this week, it is unlikely that I'll get back to it, which also means that I won't bother with any DLC. Shame.- Anime and Manga - New Season
Chainsaw Man is ending in 2 weeks, so either a break next week or there are 2 chapters left. This weeks chapter gave me whiplash to the point where I'm sure that Fujimoto just got sick of it. Maybe there is a part 3, but after the train wreck that is part 2 I kind of doubt it. Safe to say part 2 was a mistake and I'm 99.9% sure that the last chapter cannot salvage it.
