RU Lieutenant General Deputy Commandern of Southern Military District has been slain in Berdyansk by Storm Shadow strike on a hotel used for accomodation of RU officer. It is rumoured, that he was not the only top cargo 200 in that hotel. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2023/07/12/7411020/ edit: Tsokov.

Yes.

Grilled. Made some chicken thighs with a white BBQ sauce but finished it with red sauce that I splashed some citrus into. Beef ribs with a dry rub in the pressure cooker because I don't have all day and finished on the grill with a brown sugar honey BBQ sauce. Corn on the cob also made a brief appearance. I thought I was making enough for at least 2 days but there are almost no leftovers

Will be limited to 300km, MCTR dictates that. France can ignore it perhaps, but it's not a good look, rules based order and all.

Noclip got their hands on some old tapes of game related media that were to be thrown out. They will be digitising and uploading stuff on a new dedicated channel. Probably worth keeping an eye on what they upload in case something interesting pops up. https://youtube.com/@NoclipArchive

If you are wondering, what happens, if you have guts to not lie to Gerasimov

Cracks me up you can have a paladin open locks and disarm traps Where's Keldorn when you need him

Nice portraits. Somebody needs to mod it in asap, since it fits the Overlord character as well. No surprise if it happens. I tried to play a little more of it, and the game crashed twice. I know the available version is old, but we all have seen this before and know how it is.

I was somewhat amused by the wording: Tsokov "died heroically" during the attack. I wonder how that differs from simply dying, given that it's a missile strike on a hotel, which doesn't really imply a battle to display heroism in. In January 1936, Ernest Hemingway wrote a piece called Wings Always Over Africa for Esquire magazine. This is part of what he wrote: "An Italian soldier can be so fired up by propaganda that he will go to battle wanting only to die for Il Duce and convinced that it is better to live one day as a lion than a hundred years as a sheep and, hit in the buttocks, the fleshy part of the thigh, or the calf of the leg, all comparatively painless wounds, he is capable of uttering the most noble sentiments and of saying, 'Duce I salute you Duce! I am happy to die for you, O Duce!' But hit in the belly, or if the bullet breaks a bone, or if it happens to hit a nerve he will say, 'Oh mamma mia!' and the Duce will be far from his thoughts. Malaria and dysentery are even less capable of arousing patriotic fervour and jaundice, as I recall it, which gives a man the sensation of having been kicked in the vicinity of the interstitial glands, produces almost no patriotic fervour at all." Indeed, even war poetry developed rather drastically from Rupert Brooke's The Soldier to Wilfred Owen's Dulce Et Decorum Est, with the former coming straight from the "died heroically" line of thought and the latter rather less so. But apparently the "died heroically" line is still going strong.

Ha! I was about to write how I don't understand why there isn't any Three Musketeer or Zorro game already. Well, not literally "any", but any other than this:

If Obsidian were to add mammals, reptiles, birds, etc they would have to add a whole new tier. Generally speaking these animals are far stronger than all insects. Insects have often weak and squishy bodies and their exoskeletons are nothing compared to the scales or tough skin of mammals, reptiles or birds. If obsidian added one of these animals they would have to add other equally strong animals to maintain balance and none of these could be insects because there virtually 0 insects that could take on a mammal,reptile or any other non-insect creature. our tiny selves would also realistically have a hard time taking down mammals, reptiles or birds. That’s why I’d suggest sticking to adding more insects and biome to the game like centipedes or caterpillars to preserve balance and a large pool of equally fun builds to use.

I know this idea has been thrown around in the past but I still think it’s pretty interesting. There could be a new biome in the upper yard where a cooler has spilled over simulare to the coal spill. There could be resources in this cooler that are unique to the biome itself like food items that drop only fresh or regular food items that haven’t gone Ritter like to one scatterd around the yard. There could also be unique bugs in the cooler like the Wooly bear caterpillar. There could also be a new boss like the Isabella Tiger Moth the adult version of the wooly bear caterpillar.Isabella Tiger MothWoolly Bear Caterpillar (Isabella Tiger Moth Larvae)

Obsidian should add a new part of the map called the garden where there will be a new garden snake boss that will be very strong and have a bunch more bugs.

You know when you accidentally make something you didn't mean to, or when you make multiple copies of one thing? Precious resources down the drain. To fix this, let's get an item recycler! Put craftable items in, wait a few minutes, and out come the raw materials. However, you can't use items that have been duplicated with the Super Duper or uncraftable items such as the Pinch Whacker.

There's already been a live action JoJo. Not by Netflix, but it looks like it's in the same tier as the live action Sailor Moon @majestic was watching.
