Do you get to romance the airplane?

Do you want to play Flight simulator 2024 at 4k or something

Art Fair was a disaster. Embarrassingly few visitors. For me it went well on the networking side. A number of people from the art scene now know my face. And at least one person, influential in the local art scene made a point of telling everyone that my art is what they should be checking out. Also, I think a lady may have been flirting with me. But I am slow on the uptake so I am not certain. She said we'll go for coffee though once I am back in Athens so I guess we'll find out.

Bruce has a point in saying it is disingenuous saying we are all equal but based on colour/gender/sexuality you are expected to have opinion XYZ. As Die Toten Hosen said in a song (before they jumped onto the warmonger train of German hysteria) "Auch lesbische, schwarze Behinderte können ätzend sein". That said, the specific judge is apparently part of a church with strong ties and funding from Israel, so not necessarily unbiased.

The tweet is a bit more of a sensationalised version of the statement made on the subject on Syrski's telegram. There's no 'soon' or other suggestion of a timetable from Syrski, all he's done is sign the paperwork so they can come. Rational and accurate takes don't always get the retweets, likes and upvotes so much as telling people what they want to hear though.

https://www.france24.com/en/europe/20240527-kyiv-says-talks-on-france-sending-military-instructors-to-ukraine-are-ongoing @Malcador It looks like that Tweet isnt even true, I must learn to stop falling for SM " news " ...I generally dont respond but I sometimes do

Military instructors is not the same as troops being deployed. There are US advisors and trainers in certain African and ME countries, like Green Berets, and thats not the same as the US deploying its military to these specific regions We will know when any country decides to deploy its military to Ukraine because they will have to announce it domestically or they will face serious political criticism if and when body bags come home And I think it matters we dont feed the exaggerated Russian propaganda that " Russia is fighting NATO\US" in Ukraine Russia is fighting Ukraine with military aid from the NATO\US Thats not the same as any NATO country deploying its military personnel to Ukraine

I have revering reputation with both iconoclasts and MSI. I have the Targeting module in my possession. I just finished deposing Graham and installed Sora as leader of the Iconoclasts. But then When I go and talk to Sanjar, and click the dialog option to suggest a truce, After he says that he doesn't see any way for them to work together, The only thing I can say in response is [1]Forget I said Anything. There's no way to tell him that Sora is the new leader, or make any other suggestsions. Have a missed a trigger or something? Did I need to do something specific for Sanjar to make sure that the option would be available? Please help. I have read elswhere that I need to have read Sora's employee report, and I've done that. I'm playing with Spacer's Choice Edidition.

The green shield bugs appearing in the first two Ng+ spots can sometimes spawn inside walls, I've linked a screenshot of one of them. The other one was stuck under the house but still accessible enough to be killed so I didn't think much of it. The one shown in the screenshot though is inaccessible, checked around and it doesn't seem to have been reported. It's no big deal but still sucks having one less bug I can farm.

I watched it without sound on reddit originally, and that was what really sold me. If he manages to get a studio backing, then obviously that would be a a big win and the sound would be handled by someone else. Although I thought the narrator was a good campy choice for the clip. Reminded me of the snake for The Jungle Book for some reason. Or maybe Skeletor:

I think we should add a new type of mite. An explosive mite. Dynamite! So here is what I was thinking for my idea: You make a stick of dynamite from some red mite fuzz and web fiber and explosive material. Next, you stick it to a mite. Then you can hold the mite in your hands and throw it at an insect or an object. If the mite misses your target but lands close to it, then it could crawl or leap up onto it and its fuse will burn. Once the fuse is burned up, then BOOM! DYNAMITE!!

It's probably the uncommitted troops on the northern border giving them conniptions rather than the relatively few actually committed. That was always going to be the problem with the RDK and pals' raids, not like all those Russian troops could be relied upon to just sit there twiddling their thumbs waiting for a new incursion. And since the strategic initiative seems to have shifted to Russia in at least the medium term they get to decide where and when to attack. There being NATO member countries' military personnel in Ukraine already was more or less confirmed by Germany last year (?) as their justification for not sending Taurus was not wanting to send any personnel themselves. Even if France sent people it'd be no actual change, if they're just instructors and not the Foreign Legion or whoever. Plus, the obligatory Soon™ for when they'd get there, (albeit that seems to be editorial and not from Syrski from what I've seen).

Finished There is no Light. Tried to do the true ending*, but the 2 stages of the final boss were not particularly inspiring (the first one was timed and had to be repeated in case of failure later on). Overall, I am not unhappy that I have played it, but the game is not good due to the story/lore, level and encounter design. I will try to write a proper review some time later. *it required completing all side quests. The one where I repeatedly led the local military to be slaughtered by me, while they were trying to murder random civilians, was funny. The quest giver at no point suspected the MC of killing his subordinates.

He's really going to need a new audio guy/gal, the whole thing was nearly brought to its knees because of bad audio mixing and the sound effects being badly timed and put together. Hell, even the overbearing music kind of sounds like it's underwater, it's all weak and muddy. Oh, he didn't have an audio guy/gal in the first place...uh, I guess he REALLY needs a new one, then, . Woof, nothing like some really bad audio to make you consciously realize how important all the major aspects of a production are, even in just a short piece like this...it can be tough when you're a one-man (or nearly) production and a certain element is just not your specialty. Though I don't know if the creator really intends to try to sell this as a concept to a studio - from the description, it doesn't really sound like it, but maybe you know something I don't. (e): I just looked through the comments and I guess he might try to do just that, and I also wasn't surprised when he said he took inspiration from Tartakovsky's Primal for it.

This little short got me back in the mood to play Conan Exiles.

Pretty excited if this becomes a thing. Like and subscribe, this guy needs numbers as he negotiates with studios.

I did end up finding a temp fix. You just need to try to sign in to the crossplay and even if fails your save will load normally.

ya'll crazy.. and whomever decided how to number the versions is probably crazy too. I don't care what you call the system.. it's a terrible system if later versions of the game can have a lower number than the previous one. I just rechecked.. the game version is 3.7-and so on.. patch is 3.4-and so on. Sensible people don't do this sort of thing.. and certainly don't invent a system in which this makes sense, because that's just organized insanity. ya'll crazy.. every single one of you. Just ask Maerwald, he'll confirm it.

Guess things must be going rough for Ukraine, I guess conveniently is all the benefactors' fault. Can't really see Kharkiv as the impetus for this, RF has been doing more damage via air raids and such for a while. I assume all the big talkers in the Baltics and Poland will now send some as well.

Yup. I make a decent living, but don't spend much on myself. And no kids. So I'm glad to find something I can spend my hard-earned money on that will bring me a lot of joy and happiness.

Nice Kanie, very few things better than a nice new gaming rig

According to a recent Politico story, the "allow" side is winning in the vigorous internal debate within the Administration on this issue.

Btw, I finally got that deal I've been waiting on for my new gaming computer. It gets to me June 11th. Soooooo excited! I can finally start playing the big new games!! 14th gen i9 14900KF processor (24 core, 68 MB cache, 2.4-6.0 GHz thermal velocity boost) RTX 4090 GPU (24 GB GDDR6X) 32 GB memory (DDR5, 5600 MT/s) 2 TB SSD

I'm waiting for (and need) many, many mods for BG3 to make it even remotely playable for me, beginning with a 6-person party mod.
