I'm cheating a bit. My best friend during my university years was from Iran. He survived two years at the front in the war between Iran and Iraq, after which his family had saved up enough money to buy him a fake passport and ship him off to northern Europe. Awesome guy. Even better chef 🤤 He married a Danish girl, had kids, Danish beer and pork sausages was his own favourite food 😅 Shared a lot of stories too, about the clergy, the Shah, and what he knew about Iran from before those times

Interesting, I wasn't aware of that history of Iran

Iran once had an elected president, Mossadeq. Secular too. He was removed by the US and the UK, because he was more concerned about Iranian interests instead of US and UK interests. He was replaced by Rezah Pahlavi, being a good puppet to control the country. Unlike Mossadeq not objecting to the US and the UK taking ownership of Irans oil reserves. A bit like Allende in Chile. Can't have those elected leaders when people vote wrong! Reza was originally forced from power by the UK in 1941 because he was a Nazi sympatiser. Go figure, better get that guy back in power again instead of the elected one :P

Sometimes it can be really annoying to try to hit the little star next to a thread link to get to the latest post. Maybe it would be possible to just add the same link format to the thread title link? Would make it a lot easier to get to the last unread post. I feel like it's all what most people would want to do anyways.

It would be hard to imagine regime change in Iran in the same way it happened in Venezuela, remove the leader and the new government falls in line and starts reversing all the authoritarian policies and the country starts on a journey of becoming a real Democracy again Iran has never been a real Democracy and its spent the last 45 years creating a mindset that is opposed to the US and its " imperialist influence " Anti-American sentiment is ingrained into the psyche of most of the hardliners in Iran, its all they have ever known And anti-Israeli sentiment is even worse There are lots of Iranians who would love to see a better relationship with the US and the West and the country to just be a normal member of the international community But they not in power I would assume the US and Israeli objective is if you kill the Iranian leadership and keep bombing them then the new government would be more favorable to all the demands and objectives Its difficult to predict what will happen because we haven't seen this before with the Supreme Leader being killed I dont think we will see the political change we are hoping for with the new leadership but you never know ?

F-15 got taken out by a friendly SAM. I guess that doesn't count as a combat loss.

I was mildly irritated by the way the spider buggy in particular gets in your way when you're farming things, because they wander around and you end up mounting them by accident, so I thought it would be good to add a "go and wait over there" command, but this could be expanded to all sorts of commands - like "attack that", "fetch that", "stand on that pressure plate" etc.

The gaming division has been tanking of late and they are reducing funding. I wouldn't be surprised to see Paramount+ sell it off for the IP rights.

And more mutations please, maybe even a mutation that allows 2 charms with certain limitations like only 1 is active during combat

Writing here to suggest 2 things, first is a menu or feature that would be great to add, which is a to do list tracker, when you have a to do list that is really long you may forget to grab stuff when you only whent there to get that stuff, so i wanted to recomend a tracked HUD in the top right, that you activate and deactivate with your to do list, and it will scan and show you a picture and number needed of resources, obviously only able to track 1 or 2 at a time, and they will dissapear during combat, also could include an automatic tracking of that resourse on your map And the other suggestion is to add morr liberty or a setting to personalice your hotbar or even add multiple like the last games, cause when you bind a resource to the hotbar it can be tedious to change, and maybe add a way to place 2 items innthe hot bar, like equiping a torch and a one handed weapon or a shield and a one handed weapon at the same time

I also am having this issue and I'm playing Grounded 1. I create a shared world go into it everything is fine save. quit. Come back and the "Shared world" is greyed out. But my friend has no issue, if they start a game I can join no problem..... if they add me to their shared world it just never appears for me. Seems like this issue is still happening in Grounded 2 and I could not google fu my way out of this NO one has any fix and it appears the devs haven't even commented on it or suggested a reason why.

Hello! If its possible for me to also get a follow-up? I applied when applications opened for the core-tech engineer role!

Yeah, I guess I could see that. He did need to constantly reinforce his glamour on Celebrimbor and it seems his loss of influence on Galadriel is permanent. It seems unlikely that most men would be able to shake off that sort of influence though. The only real issue with that is that canonically he only really needed to subvert the eminently subvertable Ar-Pharazon to dominate Middle Earth. Which is in some ways a bit of a problem with the source material. If Sauron wanted to dominate ME, why send the Numenoreans off on what he must have known was a suicide mission to attack the Valar instead of just using them for the job? Because that's what happens in epic sagas, same as the perils of magic rings...

Netflix did not want WB's gaming division at all; their bid was specifically for studio and streaming assets. So it would have been sold off very cheaply or- probably, given its main assets are linked to WB IPs- shut down. Though it's unlikely Paramount specifically wants the gaming part either their offer is at least for the whole thing.

Hi there, DM sent.

There is no organized opposition in Iran and Iran's army and political structure is created to endure war, so regime change is unlikelly. I would guess it is more fear and terror that was goal so that other countries don't dare opposite US. Also it distrupts local politics both in Israel and US. Which allows unpopular moves like giving Oracle access to medicare data and allowance to use X's grok ai to use it as training data.

Looks like a pre-made MC and silly system requirements. I'd say "at least it's not UE5", but it is not a high bar to clear. The combat might be fine, but the visual noise is incredibly annoying. Thus, I might consider getting it for $5 in 5 years. Edit. It does look like TW3 and I strongly disliked that game. While TES VI is development, Ardenfall is closing onto the release date (the last I've heard, "early 2026"). Ardenfall on SteamArdenfall is an immersive RPG set in a world of intricate politics and ancient cultures. Explore flowing plains, rain drenched wetlands, and forgotten dungeons full of danger.

The description sounds appealing, even if their previous title was somewhat uneven. The survey: https://forms.gle/ibSV87UBjA9aYoXn8

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.
