I can't help but laugh every time I see or hear the term "warfighter". Language is completely arbitrary, I know, but somehow that one in particular seems too absurd for me.

It's OUT. And it's not 100% what you think it is (another typical Boomer Shooter / Blood clone). What sold chapter 1 to me back then was the end of the demo, where suddenly the music stopped, you were crawling through a tight space with but your lighter showing the way. And the thing opened up into a genuine survival horror-ish setpiece... Apparently chapter 2 goes even more into that direction.

Unfortunately some of the abilities which used to work with the Long Pain and which I described do not work like that anymore. I didn't test in depth again which ones now work and which don't, but I guess we can assume now that the Long Pain does behave like any other ranged weapon and will only work with abilities and talents for ranged weapons. Anyway: the build doesn't work as described anymore. The Long Pain are still good weapons though. It's just that it doesn't synergize as well with all the other Monk abilities anymore which is sad.

Man, you guys just made me check if Malcolm McDowell died, but no, Hurlshot can't keep Admiral Tolywn and Chancellor Valorum apart.

He wasn't in it Malcolm McDowell was in the games, Warner was in that movie screwed up by Chris Roberts

The problem with the wording is really, really obvious. Though to be fair it isn't just Bruce burying their head in the sand about it. That clause is part of the first step which is meant to be implemented- hostage release- and it is not crystal clear about what is required when it has to be absolutely clear. Hamas will obviously read its intent as requiring a withdrawal, Israel will obviously read it as not requiring a withdrawal; and both will be right/ wrong, because it says both. Yet you cannot do both. So from the get go one side or the other will view the other as breaking the agreement. The net effect- and one suspects it's by design- is telling Hamas to give up their leverage for nothing except maybe some prisoners. And Israel can always administratively detain, ie kidnap*, more people later. The wording might not be a problem if the sides had trust, or there was an enforcement mechanism for Israel but as it stands it's set up to fail at the first hurdle and ideally- for the west and Israel- immediately after Hamas releases the hostages. *83% civilian, by Israel's own leaked stats. This is basically the Iraqi Provisional Authority/ Afghan Interim Administration of Gaza, and they had no problem enriching themselves or their supporters. Massive fees, no bid contracts for overpriced infrastructure projects (completion, optional), large wadges of dosh disappearing off into the ether, huge payments to Erik Prince's mercenaries for security. Just replace mineral concessions with selling beach real estate so Don and Bibi can sunbathe there without the AI generation.
