Mamoulian War

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 🤷‍♂️

Resident Evil Bundle just landed on GOG. RE1 already playable, the other two are for preorder, released in 2024 https://www.gog.com/en/game/resident_evil_bundle Original versions, not the remasters.

ICC issued warrant against Shoigu and Gerassimov. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2024/06/25/7462498/

Adrenaline overtake on Brands Hatch in ACC GT4. Almost impossible to overtake on this track, so I have to share it 😄 https://clips.twitch.tv/GlutenFreeDarkSquidMingLee-6RAbF5lXq53JKh9m Unfortunately impossible to embed

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.

The question of recognizing Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism has been opened at US senate again, after Putin’s lovey dovey with Kim. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2024/06/21/7461906/

And a first Giveaway of the Summer Sale: https://www.gog.com/en/game/shadows_awakening

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 🤷‍♂️

USD and EUR stopped trading at Moscow Exchange, after Russian Central Bank intervention, after newest sanctions, which led to spiraling out of control as panic buying started. Both currencies are currently sold for up to 200 rubles per 1 USD/EUR. https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20240613-russian-stock-market-suspends-dollar-trades-after-us-sanctions

Unfortunately it will be in the form, which can be cancelled if the new president of USA decides so. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2024/06/13/7460543/

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 🤷‍♂️)

Are there any settings directly in the game or maybe external mods, which will change the graphics into less C64 style and more into 286/386/Amiga style? The setting really is interesting to me, but I am somehow not very fond of the pixel art style of this game 😞

Which means hard pass for me. From the looks of it, the theme of the setting changed from extremely dark, with a little way how to affect the whole world in DA1, to another save the world theme park, like every other RPG. Anyway, this will never be release on GOG, so there is no need for me to get any hopes, that I might be wrong about my assumptions 🤷‍♂️
