france will do anything other than tax the rich while still posture around as great power of europe after finally losing their west africa colony

War is one of the few things Europeans are truly passionate about. Never underestimate human stupidity

Another round of protests in France. Starting to turn violent, as they usually do in France.

I watched Dr No in the outdoor cinema this year. I didn't remember how bad that movie actually was. But it made history. So many things in later movies were directly inspired by it, including the villain dying in a tank of liquid, with just the hand above the water as he dies.

Seem to be unarmed drones used to overwhelm air defenses. I don't think europe is crazy enough to escalate to an all out war, at least not at this point in time.

You can’t really lose a war if it’s still ongoing, can you?

Looks like a significant escalation could happen

I lost mine today exploring around. And noticed my hotkey was grayed out for it, went to fix and it's gone.

Unbroken/Streetfighter was just what I played while trying to stay below 50% health with the Streetfighter. I didn't mean it as a recommendation. +1 passive AR is great btw. Underpenetration malus is a sort-of multiplicative dmg reduction which pairs especially well with getting grazed a lot. Paladin is even better with AR, but if I plan to use a shield anyway and want a fighter for lots of engagement and increased speed while wearing heavy armor, I personally would pick Unbroken over Devoted any day. Just because of the +1 stackable AR. With a two hander (which I don't plan to switch much) that's another story ofc.

Does South Korea know we lost the Korean war?

With the upcoming Axl release I figured I’d jump the gun and drop this idea I’ve been thinking about. i think there should be a special crafting station for boss gear where you can build different variants of the armor and weapons for each archetype, all of the buffs/debuffs the equipment does would remain the same you’d only tweak the archetype it’s classified as. I’m not sure what you guys have planned, and maybe this is something your teams already considered, but I really hope you’ll do it, I think it’d give people a little more control over their builds and put less pressure on your team to make a different boss for every archetype.

Russian drones breached Polish airspace apparently, more than a couple Gerans.

an interactive fight, not a bad idea either

In time for the sequel. Though I actually have other stuff to play, so will probably wait a bit.

Golden Harvester Ant A very fast ant that’s the size of a red soldier ant, and goes in groups of 7-8 that are escorted by a couple Red Harvester Ants so they can climb grass flowers for grass seeds(their favorite food in irl too), but not get hurt. When killed they release a pheromone cloud that makes all other harvester ants go berserk. Red Harvester Ant They protect the colony, going on escorts, and staying inside the colony deep within. Dealing the damage of a northern scorpion, though they’re a little faster, and just like in irl they can inflict venom with their stings. They’ll bite, and sting while at low health. Black Harvester Ant Mostly found at the entrance of the nest, they are defense heavy, and you can’t deal stun to them normally. To stun them you have to break their armor with a bratburst or the other throwables in it’s category(this means you can only stun them once). Also, while at lower than 20% health they’ll try exploding next to you, if you kill them while they’re trying to explode, you’ll get black powder (~10-12). Striped Harvester Ant They have a crimson colored body with fading black stripes/patterns, and deal the most damage of all the previous ants. They’re unable to be stunned normally like the Black Harvester Ant, and are slightly slower than the fast Golden Harvester Ant. They also sting you while lower than 25% health just like the red harvester ant. These ants are the largest as well, found super deep within the nest. They can also have wings. Harvester Ant Queen(Boss) This Boss would throw lobs of venom, order ants to attack different players or allies, and attack viciously. They can leap onto the player to bite then dash backwards, swing their head, rally the ants to defend or attack, lob balls of "ant bread", that has a burning venom in order to splash it everywhere, and they can order more ants to come out of tunnels in the arena. And to prevent cheesing, the player would have building locked, with zones across the arena they have to go to in order to flick levers for disabling some tunnels for a short time, and the mysterious stranger from taking over the ants.

Works for me and I'm not even from the US. Great flick. @PK htiw klaw eriF I think you will like it.

Tainted Grail's "giant patch" finally came out today. And it's definitely huge - although ofc a lot of things are balance, bug, and small dungeon/loot/other type things. Still, it's massive. I'll probably wait for a little longer to see if there are any quick patches for the patch, but looks like time for a new playthru - or at least loading a save in early Act 1 perhaps. Also, transmog (at least in some crafting form) and NG+. So one can finally replay to get different loot re: such choices, all on one chr. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1466060/view/541115924558645329 But most importantly - will Cohh finally get back to his playthrough "soon"? That was his most entertaining/he seemed like he was having a grand ol' time playthru VoD's in years, for me (I don't watch twitch anymore but I check Cohh a bit more, recently, since he started dual-streaming to YT/leaving the Live VoD's up, vs only Twitch). I was sad when he put it on hold, wanted to see him finish.

I did trickster ripost tank a bunch of times already, I just wanted to experiment with something new (although I very much prefer to use Ryngrim's on tricksters nowdays over the defelction buffs). I wanted to do steel garrote a bunch of times, but always ended up on the conclusion that Kind Wayfarer just selfheals better. That's sort of how I envisioned it, with mid/high con, all the AR buffs etc. Death's Maw is pretty good idea, I always forget that helm exists. I'm a bit thorn on Unbroken. I love the idea, and thematically it's the subclass probably closest to what I like, but that +1AR is not all that much, and even on a build dedicated to proccing disengagement hits I chose Devoted instead (my last paythrough was devoted/trickster with Willbreaker). That said I used unbroken plenty of times, I just find that it could use a bit of a buff.

Technically, the US hasn't declared war since World War II, so we haven't really lost anything. These have all been Presidential actions, and unless Congress formally declares war you can't expect the full backing of the country or its economy. Hence the supposed lack of "victories". It has nothing to do with the name change. I shudder to think what would happen if little Trump takes the US into another (non-internal) conflict.

Video Shows UFO Get Hit by Hellfire Missile, Continues Flying Unobstructed Caveat, the article is from TMZ, but a pretty wild embedded video is in the link.

Been playing a bit of Star Trek Online and just finished another game of Rogue Trader. Nothing is really interesting me right now.

Images of Shoemaker-Levy 9 (or rather, its fragments) crash into Jupiter were one of the astronomy highlights of the 90ies. 's not always you get to see the aftermath of a 300 gigaton impact.

Canned tuna isn't so bad as ironically the cheaper tuna variants used for canning are less contaminated - probably should not stuff your face with thuna sashimi every day though. Don't see anyone making a case for tuna being a superfood (if anything influences would probably try to pawn you some omega 3 supplements). If you don't know, matcha is made by grinding tencha leaves that you're then consuming along with the tea. Now, as long as you buy high quality matcha tea and keep your consumption below three grams per day that should not be an issue. Cheap Chiniese knockoffs might even contain some fun pesticides as a bonus though. Spooning it into your breakfast bowl because some influencer told you it cures every disease on the planet? Yeah, probably not that bright of an idea. Not to mention expensive. To reiterate my main point, this is a case of cultural apporpriation that actually causes detrimental effects, with Japanese people complaining that Americans and Europeans buy up their matcha, leaving them with not enough for their ceremonies where making matcha is well beyond consuming the latest silly superfood hype. Unlike wearing dreads or wearing traditional Chinese garb as an American, where no one but the Twatteria cared. Well, and Fridays for Future, a youth protest movement complaining about the hairdo of people. WhenI was young, that used to be the favorite past time of old people. Just found it funny. Where are the sh*tstorms and cancellations?
