Mamoulian War

I am planning to start DS2:SotFS playthrough, but I am still considering what build should I go for. How hard is it to defeat Fume Knight with melee? My reaction time is not, what it used to be, so melee will bring me some troubles. Is there a chance for a guy with bad reflexes to beat him, or should I go for Hexes right away?

Japanese lawmaker is considering to start an investigation against Ubisoft, due to the cultural appropriation and other cultural inaccuracies present in their latest checkbox simulator. https://nichegamer.com/japanese-politician-investigation-assassins-creed-shadows-inaccuracies/

Have any of you tried the Bonus HK Campaign? The pacing to me seemed a little bit better than in the OG HK campaign

I am with you on this one. The three Shadowrun games were exactly what I was itching for, when I have played them. They had some flaws for sure, but I still consider them brilliant masterpieces

Finally, I have uploaded all of my DSR NG+ victories to Youtube, soo, if anyone would like to see, how my first ever melee walkthrough of the game went closer to the platinum finish line, feel free to enjoy disclaimer: this old man still needs to git gud

From what I’ve read, the Gothic Remake was really bad. The question is, was it bad due to the PB, or Embracer? But it might give us few hints, why they have been closed.

Browsing the links at the Piranha Bytes closure I have found one more sad news, which I have completely missed in the past (march 2024). Embracer sold Gearbox to Take Two. With Homeworld and Duke Nukem as well Which means, we will probably never see this franchises again, or completely watered down with billions of microtransactions... https://www.gamesindustry.biz/take-two-to-acquire-gearbox-from-embracer-for-460-million

@xzar_monty Would you be willing to elaborate a little bit on this? Is this a serious newspaper? And how real/known/serious are these guys around Finland? https://www.iltalehti.fi/ulkomaat/a/0f398e0d-0324-4a15-b64d-96aa1d0b9087

A latest state of Russian economy from the quote of the head of Russian Central Bank, or whatever is the equivalent name of Russian FED

The First Templar as a new giveaway on GOG https://www.gog.com/en/game/the_first_templar

Because in comparison to all previous Soviet leaders, Putin, after spending more than year, completely isolated alone in his bunker afraid of COVID-19, is paranoid and completely out of touch with reality Not to mention his current lovey dovey with Kim, who considers himself God, that could press the button faster than him.

The issue of this statement is, that most probably, we wiped out Neanderthals as well, like thousands of other species

It did not take long, and the new collaborant government of Slovakia started its first political process. They started a case against former Minister of Defense Jaroslav Naď for donating Mig-29s and one S-300 system to Ukraine.

According to satellite footage, DPRK have available 5 millions artillery shells for Russia. And Kin Jong-Un is IMHO the only person insane enough to really go all in for the ability to build their own nukes. We’ll see how serious pickle it is, as soon as South Korea decides to give their response to the situation escalating on the Korean Peninsula. We might be currently in a world tension similar to the Cuban Crisis. Depending on what has Putin promised to Kim.

Russia signed a pact with North Korea, about defending each other and supplying each other with weapons. South Korea has responded, that they will be reconsidering arming Ukraine, which again lead Russia to spew empty threats. Oh and Russia has raised taxes by few hundred percent, in a historically unprecedented move.

Unfortunately the Russian citizens are out of money to buy more of it

According to the interview on June 5th 2024, Putin has indirectly said, they are suffering 5000 KIA per month. During 27 months of the war, this means 135000 fatalities. Which is in other words pretty much in alignment with the 500k casualties presented by various western/UA intelligence groups. math behind the 5k/month number can be found here (the plausibility is as always anyone’s guess )
