Few days ago, on a TV broadcast by RIA Novosti, Sputnik TV and Russia Today, one of a very poverful figure of Russian Ministry of “Defense” Prilepin, has stated, that the countries, which provide the most work migrants in Russia, should get Annexed. He named as an example Uzbekistan. Shortly afterward, the Uzbekistan president started first steps to derussify the country media space, and powerful Uzbek politicians demanded the arrest of Prilepin. Which Russia of course did not accept. Uzbekistan is thus starting to prepare for another Special Military Operation.

Morning Star has crush and pierce damage (uses the most advantageous against the enemy armor automatically) and also very good base Penetration of 9. So you seldomly need a backup weapon. Also the debuffing effect of Body Blows always works, even if the enemies are totally immune to the Morning Star's damage. But in the rare cases you might need a backup weapon I would pick one that does slash damage since that is the one the Morning Star doesn't cover. Also it should be a two-handed weapon because you will most likely pick Two-Handed Style at some point. For me personally that leaves Great Sword and Pollaxe. I woul pick Pollaxe because you can get Lord Darryn's Voulge (a soulbound Pollaxe) quire early if you wish. It has slash and shock(!) damage instead of crush so it's a perfect altenative to the Morning Star. And there are several enemies who are especially vulnerable to shock damage. Also the Soulbound makes the weapon scale and enchant without any resources (money, special gems and stuff) wich is great for a backup weapon. And finally the Voulge is a great weapon for a Barbarian in itself because its special additional lightning damage works with Carnage. It doesn't have the double hit feature for more crits though and no cool debuff effect like Body Blows. The Howler Konstanten is not only doing okay in melee for himself - he's also a great debuffer for the party because lots of spells and other abilities target enemies' fortitude (see several good Cipher, Druid and Wizard spells for example) and Konstanten can help your party land more of those more reliably. The only thing at which a Howler isn't so good at is raising his own accuracy. The Brute Force/fortitude debuffing cycle does help a lot - but having a Priest with Blessing and Devotions is very helpful for Konstanten to hit and crit more early in the fight and start having more impact right away. Merry Christmas to you, too! And to my other fellow forum members as well. Yay! Cooking some venison goulash for the whole family while I type basically... hope it tastes somewhat decent.

We did something different this year for Christmas lunch,we went to a really good restaurant called Simons at a Wine Estate called Groot Constantia, red wine was amazing. I had at least a whole bottle to myself https://simons.co.za/gallery/ It was an excellent Christmas buffet and one of my brothers has a daughter called Amelia who is 1 year old and she is as cute as a button with chubby cheeks 👼 But my sister bought me one of the funniest presents and completely appropriate ...a NK joke gift, she knows me well

Watched Die Hard and Lethal Weapon. And ate christmas food.

Get well soon Shady. Google keyboard suggested "swole" not well, but maybe that too.

Been sick since my bday a few days ago and am quarantining in the bedroom while everyone is partying downstairs.

Oh wow, you completely sold me on this. I love this game , there are so many synergies and possibilities. Konstentan Howler with this build it is then ! What would be his alternate weapon then ? A two handed sword or escoc ? (not as good as the morning star, but in cas he needs another type of damage) Thanks for the advices, I think I will come back for more on my team and builds 😁 Happy Merry Christmas btw 🎅

Actually the chant is also lowering might by 2, stackable with might affliction of course, so -4 fortitude on top!

we got a rotation o' ten or so christmas movies including the following: lion in winter, kiss kiss, bang bang, godfather, french connection, nightmare before christmas, rocky, white christmas, the hudsucker proxy, stalag 17, and the recent added green knight. nightmare before christmas and stalag 17 is guaranteed, but the others movies change. this year, christmas food is whatever we got in the fridge. am kinda convalescing at the moment. our neighbors mean well, but they are not good cooks. recent had the driest banana bread evar and am not gonna try and figure out what went into some beef stew we received. the christmas cookies has been a travesty. on the upside, one o' our neighbors who doesn't cook bought and prepared one o' those enormous stouffer's lasagnas, so we got christmas food for days. HA! Good Fun!

Happy nondenominational holidays! /woke

Well, last proper Bioware game was Dragon Age: Origins, so in that case, they are pretty overdue 😁

probably because they don't get to make Bioware games in Bioware anymore.

Happy Festivus!!!

My youngest brother is the family member with the bad back... he's 2m tall and of skinny build. His back was very fragile and he always needed to be careful when driving longer trips. Before anyone says you can't drive long trips in Denmark, he was very active in his medieval reenactment hobby (doing his own clothes and armour, creating replica 15th century plate and chainmail armour (as well as the cloth and protective leather insulation that goes with it). That meant driving all over Europe from Scandinavia to below the Alps. But before that, he was an avid motorcycle driver and spent a long time before he found a motorcycle that he could sit comfortably on, for long rides (without hurting his back). I no longer remember the exact model, but iirc, some1100cc 80's Kawasaki model. Very uncommon in northern Europe. As luck (or rather not) would have it, this particular years model came with a systemic weakness in the engine block and true enough, one day he was riding, one piston suddenly exploded out the side of the engine block. Engine was history and spare engines didn't grow on trees. After a few weeks of searching, he found a classified ad from a seller in southern Germany, offering an spare engine from a wreck. Slightly newer model engine, but my brother figured, with a bit of work he could make it fit on the frame. Since I had a car and a family member had a trailer, my brother talked me into driving to southern Germany. That was in the 90's, before google map was a thing. The only aid we had was an old version of Microsoft Maps (no kidding), from which we could print out the route we had to drive as far as Frankfurt. After that, we would have to wing it 😂 We started Friday at noon, drove all day and all night (taking turns at the steering wheel, the one not driving sleeping on the backseat). Stopped a few times for the "street food" (schnitzel 😋) at the stops along the autobahn and motorways. Saturday night at 2am, we somehow had made it to our destination in Idar Oberstein, got the engine on board the trailer and tied down. When we got closer to the Danish border, we stopped and loaded up the trailer with cheap German beer (there were still borders at the time). If we got pulled over and asked if anything to declare, my brother would show then the beer and declare that, hoping the customs agents would overlook the engine (import tax for that engine would have run up into a thousand dollars or more). Anyway, late Sunday night, two brothers arrived in back in their home town, with a replacement engine and a trailer full of beer 🍺 ...and two completely exhausted brothers. My brother managed to fit the engine on the old frame and got a few more good years out of the only bike he could ever sit comfortably on with his vulnerable back

It has been my very vocal contention for years that all the divisions we are presented with within Western societies (party, ideology, race, gender, age, etc.) are fake faultlines intentionally created to divide the public into manageable groups. The only real and meaningful line of division is the elites versus the rest of us, where the elites are the elites across all the supposedly-different political parties and factions, across all elite institions, and across all countries. And by their very nature they're all totalitarian.

Apparently they claim that a f16 shot down their su-34 and they shot down a couple of f16 in retaliation.

Help, Chaos is animating my weapons.
