The All Things Political Topic
No it was never the situation, it was just your opinion where you believed Israel was censoring damage Iran was doing with its missile attacks. That was what we were discussing, Im not talking about other things like Gaza Do you believe Israel is censoring damage that Iran is doing with its attacks? And if you do how is this story being reported on? How can it be worse than Russia, Israel at least has an independant and liberal media that criticizes Netanyahu and the state on a regular basis? There is nothing even closely resembling Haaretz within Russia

[CLASS BUILD] The Bloody Parry - a fine cоcktail of tanking, casting and leeching health
That combination of Armor helmet cloak looks really good, with that greatsword....looks nice, planned to go with druid but this is tempting (Oh hey, both this character and Dergano Ploi are from Aedyr, what a nice coincidence :) Might play him in poe1 and switch to this in poe2)

Picture of Your Games the 17th
Clash: Artefacts of Chaos I had thought that they are individual characters rather than species. The hardcore water snakes swim though the ground. The lore dump (2 screenshots) It is a bug that was supposed to be fixed 2 years ago. The final boss Oceanwork

What are you Playing Now? Volume XIX: The New Beginning of the End of the Middle
The cat looks adorable. Also, I've just noticed that the screenshots are uploaded to a private server. Thought for a second that it was the game's. Finished Clash: Artefacts of Chaos. The "true ending" is disappointing. Otherwise, the game is as generic as it gets, excluding the visual style, which looks like something produced by a genAI model. While there are lore reasons, unless you consider it a completely symbolic abstraction, the practical aspects don't really work. The main gameplay loop is the usual action-adventure corridor with light "platforming" of climbing the clearly marked stone slabs (but not waist-high fences) and very explicit arena battles, with random loot scattered in the corners. The Night mode, which changes the time of day, offers mostly padding, unless one really likes the combat - everything met is hostile, but you are not locked into the encounters and can just run to the mini-boss, which I did. The only somewhat original quality of the combat is that the main means of attack is unarmed combat stances, while the weapons provide limited support (they break). The story of a stoic warrior who adopts the Chosen One child and realigns with his emotions (that are not apathy or rage) is not exactly original either. In terms of narrative themes, the "we create our own imaginary cages" message with the artefacts working only because all participants agree that they work (apparently, including the bees which are summoned by some of them) was spelt out by the lore-dump NPC and hard to disagree with. Social constructs exist only as long as the complacent majority go along with it. The "no laws without justice" sentiment is welcome as well. A relatively small detail I liked was that the enemies were able to damage each other, instead of clipping through. The OST was fairly unpleasant in-game, but fine to listen to separately (no idea what the language is). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyP-AOAjVYM&list=PLfuHaTW9nnaBWUou9bklAyOviDKz19yJ0&index=1 So, overall, the execution was lacking, despite the ideas. I have finished Oceanwork. The story is about a person sentenced to underwater mining for an unspecified crime. The pace of the exploration and upgrades is good and the environment is interesting to explore, despite the very few points of interest. The upgrades are visible on the character model and the UI is quite helpful. The game is free, so it lacks saving or rebindable controls, but it is also short and uses only WASD, E, and LMB (might be uncomfortable for the left-handed players). It also lacks subtitles for the intro and any visual aid for the approaching sharks which you can only hear before they attack. https://warrrkus.itch.io/oceanwork

does assassinate journalist count as media censor if so in the last 3 year there maybe more journalist censored at gaza than the rest of the world combine

The All Things Political Topic
Wasn't really a debate, you were simply told what the situation was. On average Israel censors more than 2000 (!) articles per year. That hasn't changed. Or if you prefer, and from the last couple of weeks: "Every reporter in Israel — and every member of the public — is subject to a military censor" Their actual censorship is more harsh than that of Russia. Maybe not quite as bad as Ukraine, since at least you won't get forcibly enlisted for breaking the rules.

Random Sales again
Both are great resources, which to use probably comes down to whether you're interested in buying from unauthorised keyshops or not. I'm generally not, and while I know you can turn them off in gg.deals, it keeps defaulting back to on.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/21/wounded-iranian-missile-strikes-southern-israel I remember the last time Iran launched missiles against Israel having a debate on this thread, I think with @Zoraptor , that Israel had control over the media and it was underreporting or censoring the actual damage done by Iran That Israeli media censorship doesn't seem to exist anymore?

The contrast of Trump insisting that the Iranians are begging for a ceasefire due to their military being 2000% killed while 186% of their missile launchers have been destroyed and near simultaneously threatening to blow up all their power plants if they don't reopen the Straits of Hormuz is even more telling than usual. It's very, very obvious that he wants someone, anyone on the Iranian side to start talking to him. That he thinks they will having torn up one agreement than started wars with them twice, during negotiations, is perhaps the definition of hubris. Or stupidity. Maybe both? The Iranians, of course, have a long list of targets to hit in response. Which will really stuff up the region long term. No drinking water for Riyadh would be quite interesting, in a very Chinese (well, 'Chinese') curse sense. Would certainly be interesting to see the European reaction to the US blowing up power plants. While presumably not a war crime due to rules 1 and 2* differentiating it from Russia hitting Ukrainian power plants might be a tad difficult to get through to other people. *(1) someone we like cannot commit a war crime (2) someone we don't like cannot be the victim of a war crime

Yes, he adores the attention that being a world-class jerk gains him. Then again I can only imagine what many people's reaction will be when redacted finally goes toes up.

What are you Playing Now? Volume XIX: The New Beginning of the End of the Middle
Oh you. :D I didn't notice it while taking the shot because I was just staring at the SOFT KITTY WARM KITTY. Hehe. But yeah. It's not something you're going to notice in normal gameplay - typical 3/4 top down 3rd person - outside of photo mode or full zoomed in and spinning the camera. There is a 1st person view in the game but I think you cannot fight/combat while in it - it'll knock you into the overhead 3rd person. I have maybe 8 hrs of total gameplay and so far it's a mix of 50% "wow, cool, totally rad" and 50% "F! How annoying, how unnecessary, balderdash!" I can also begin to see that while you can technically free-explore probably as much as you want, and there are some things you can discover/do on your own right away maybe, many of the mechanic features and/or larger things to do are going to be kinda gated by main questline progress steps, at least in the first several "chapters".

An Instrument to unfold space and time bug
To the surprise of absolutely no one this gamebreaking bug still persists in version 1.1.1.0 as of March 2026, despite being reported numerous time - so even after half a year a bug that hardlocks your game has not been fixed.

Crimson Desert: Taming a pet requires "100 appreciation points" - you can only get 25pts per day (petting it). Dogs generally stay in place so you can return to a spot each day to pet it. The cats, so far, because you have to pick them up and pet while cradling them in arms, then put them down again, do not stay in place (they tend to run off) and if I return to an area I can't ever seem to find it again to pet it again. Hadn't seen a cat I liked much anyway so I was eh. Then I saw --- a sleek black cat! It reminds me of Mr. Black! I must have it! So I picked it up. But if I set it down again, how would I find it again? So ... I never set it down again. Made Kliff stand in place, doing nothing, for 3 "days" while I did other IRL things, petting kitty each day. Until finally: Forget anything else, this game is now a 10/10. Yes.

D&D 5e solo adventures (for beginners)?
It's great that you've decided to give Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition a try! 😄 I totally get where you're coming from—sometimes you just want to “test the waters” on your own first before looking for a group.

Attack bonus from Roach Rage, mostly collect them; I don't really want to use them.
I think the attack bonus from this accessory could be increased to 25%-30%. After all, at the highest difficulty, players must maintain a minimum health level where they can only afford one mistake (for gear combinations aimed at maximizing damage). If it only offers a 15% increase compared to other pure damage builds, players might as well choose other damage types to quickly kill insects. I think this low-health playstyle needs to offer a noticeable damage boost compared to other damage methods even at the highest difficulty, making the high-risk, high-reward aspect more apparent. As for the eyepatch, I think the design is excellent, but I still feel the attack bonus could be increased to around 15%, because an extra 25% damage when hit is actually quite painful, haha.

Armor Upgrades
I feel like the easiest thing is to split the issue in three parts: Allow a way to apply a different appearance to any piece of armour (Spend bug parts/resources to make X piece look like Y, but retain all stats and effects) Make the Tier be a separate path to upgrade. Upgrading the Tier could just use set resources regardless of armour (or resources specific to the class type or whatever), and improve the base stats of the equipment. Allow a permanent one-way "Link" upgrade to make a piece of armour from Set X count as being from Set Y for activating the set bonus. It shouldn't be cheap, but doesn't need to be crazy expensive either.

Bandage rework
Eh, with how easy it is to craft smoothies in bulk, I think bandages deserve a different function. My preference would be that bandages heal a set amount of health spread over a number of ticks, like 70hp in 10 ticks of 2-3 second intervals. Getting hit during the effect would simply pause the healing for the duration of 1 tick, but if you avoid being hit for long enough it keeps going again. I'd also make it so the healing effect is paused when you're at full health, and I'd give bandages 3-4X longer duration (but the same number of ticks). This means that they don't waste healing when you're at full health, and the healing resumes if you take a bit of damage (but the bandage still wears off over time regardless). That also means if you're getting hit all the time, the healing won't ever kick in, but in that situation you should probably be chugging smoothies for health recovery anyway. This way, bandages would serve better as post-combat healing, since using a smoothie to heal after combat ends means you're probably wasting the buff effect it has.
