More amused than anything else, especially as I was so out of wack with my chronically terrible sleep that I got too sleepy and actually went to bed at 8 so I didn't see the game (though I did just watch the highlights after waking up a little bit ago), so while it's certainly another horrifically embarrassing and painful playoff loss (bonus points for being against the Bears!), I did at least have the good fortune of not watching it live. Deja vu of three weeks ago against the Bears but somehow even worse this time: 25 points given up in the 4th quarter? Yowch! It's been a very Jekyll and Hyde season for the Packers, but really, the Packers have been having these sorts of horrific playoff collapses under LaFleur since he got here, wonder if he's now in real danger of being let go after that. This Packers team did not have the legs to go the distance after losing about half its starters, most of them late into the season, but I did think there was a real possibility of them knocking off the Bears. Whoops. To fumble it like that is pretty inexcusable.

I see the Mercosur\EU trade deal has finally been implemented It has enormous trade potential for both the EU and the South American countries involved I understand the concerns about cheap goods but reduced tariffs can help both sides @Lexx @Elerond @majestic @Gorgon @Gorgon and other EU members Any opinion, do you support it?

am lighting a candle and saying a prayer for the soul o' @Bartimaeus following the improbable packers v. bears playoff game. is only a few games we recollect with so many wtf moments. Matt LaFleur 'not coaching for his job' vs. Bears per Ian Rapoport hmmm. HA! Good Fun!

Eddington (2025). It got maybe just a little over the top towards the end there, but overall, it felt like a very wonderful, horrible look into the disaster that is the United States of America and its many crises, new and old alike. Very stressful. Probably don't watch it if if you live in the U.S. and having to think about the current state of this country and its future might push you over the edge.

A far more realistic, if now slightly dated take. Far more that the three letter acronyms want the Shah- and, of course, and quite possibly more importantly, SAVAK- back; and the western media is laundering their opinions. It's basically like me calling for a mass demonstration at Eden Park and the press saying how important I am for getting 50k people out (having picked the day of a NZ/ South Africa rugby match, or an Ed Sheeran concert). Very, very far from the first time media has laundered such preferences too. Indeed, picking someone who is deeply flawed and will divide a country is a tried and true formula for making sure a country stays stuffed up, while exonerating yourself from the blame. Doesn't matter what Iranians may or may not want- and it's pretty clear they don't want the Pahlavis, they got rid of them twice- it's far more important to get someone pro west and pro Israel in there who can be relied upon to crush dissent and sell out natural resources to the US.

A friend got me into this vocaloid bullcrap last month. This particular one, Kasane Teto, is the first one I've heard where I seem to actually like the voice. Now she's been using it as an excuse to send me a bazillion different songs of extremely varying quality and styles...but I like this one. Honestly, I used to have a really diminutive view of vocaloids, but ever since generative AI became a thing, they just seem so silly, tame, and harmless in comparison.

Great Ideas! Awesome game! My suggestion is to be able to reset or change how building pieces are supported to make renovation easier. Keep up the good work!

At first it would crash within a few minutes of starting the multiplayer and other players joined but now it doesn’t even let me start or go into a lobby for multiplayer game

thank you President Drump

Enshrouded: After a bunch of unrelated exploration/resource collecting/dungeon crawling etc I finally got around to making some "cold biome" wear. So between base-comfort rating, clothes, and new hand-warmer I can now stay in super-cold for about an hour. But - I could live with the top, but the hat and pants, no, just no. Thank goodness for transmog. I went back to my original "look". But at least I can live in the high snow for more than 40 seconds. Also learned that if one is relying on base-comfort frost bonuses, teleporting to a TP-only flame altar removes it because it takes on the TP-altar's zero frost bonus, when you get there. >.> so one has to make any base near winter/snow the same frost-comfort level.

Exploring. Wonder what happened to them? Hmm, death by frozen pond. Poor lost souls. But they don't need that anymore - I'll take it, thanks. Stopping for the night.

Western media sure pushing Pahlavi as the hero of the revolution, WSJ saying he took a risk calling for action.

It's the same reason Putin has a deranged Chechenian with an LMG strapped to a cybertruck patrolling Moscow. They aren't a treat to the regime itself.

The Varangian Guard would like to have a serious conversation with you

Hi! Why do you choose thundercrack pistol instead of scodeos trophy?

This beautiful game missed out on some amazing companion opportunities. I would have traded any of my given companions for rangers Dorso or Bellena, Ygwulf, Aelfyr, and a couple others. The first two games had companions with more character, attractiveness, emotional resilience, and more dispositional or ideological diversity. Here, you either feel alone in some of your most important moral choices or you feel like you're in an ideological echo chamber, depending on the mood you set for your play-through .

I notice that if I want to select an arrow type when I first select my bow, I cannot open the arrow radial with “r” until I have fired an arrow. I am playing on PC. It really is annoying sending an elemental arrow into a weevil, because it was the last one selected before using a different weapon.

Thank you so much, I'm on gamepass and going to the stronghold and switching her back in fixed it.

I didn't mean to say Fo4 was better than Ow2. I said a game hasn't consumed so much of my time like Ow2 has since I played Fo4. Fo4 had a ton of issues, not only technical ones. The story had so many plot holes it would be hard to even call it a cohesive story. Yet, I'm a big fan of the franchise so I kept playing it while trying my best to ignore those issues. Ow2 doesn't really have any serious story/writing problems except for the Initiate Alva quest. (you're supposed to investigate and prove innocence but you find absolutely nothing that identifies the actual person who did the bad stuff and yet the quest just points a finger at someone no questions asked) - thought that was pretty badly set up, but aside from that. Yeah, from a story perspective, Ow2 is leaps and bounds better than Fo4.

our best friend half joking keeps telling us to avoid home depot for the foreseeable future OST Seeks Answers After Tribal Members Taken Into ICE Custody she might have a point considering our post retirement wardrobe makes it appear as if we raided john fetterman's closet. HA! Good Fun!

ice are now shooting more people obviously the lack of consequence had embolden them guess there will be more than 1 shooting per day from now on

It certainly wasn't the actual reason for using Oreshnik. However, that definition of 'everyone' also agreed that Russia blew up Nordstream. Which, now, pretty much everyone agrees wasn't Russia. A pretty large proportion of that 'everyone' also decided that Russia blew up the Kerch Bridge as a false flag as well, which also wasn't Russia. (As per usual there was a certain amount of hilarity watching media report Zelensky's "may he perish" Christmas speech; then a few days later acting as if Zelensky trying to hit a Putin residence was just unthinkable. Gold fish have longer memories)

Maybe, would have expected it now. Definitely would get a kick out of that though.
