The tension rises as never before, not only in Ukraine... Israel fights Hamas. The Myanmar junta collapses across northern Shan state. The RSF is attacking with the help of Wagnerites in Sudan. Eastern Syria is ready to explode. Tuareg rebels take more ground in northern Mali, the GNU & LNA are moving in Libya. Then there is conquest of Nagorno-Karabakh, one new separatist group in Ethiopia after another, and there is rumoured military buildup on the Venezuela-Guyana border. And of course Yemen... Have I forgotten something? When was the last time, when there were so many conflicts around the globe at the same time? This will not end well, if Europe will hesitate to prepare better for the possible war, which Russia started on our soil by spreading disinformation as a part of their Hybrid Warfare against the Europe more than a decade ago...

I have entered the post game content of the Star Ocean 5 for teh first time in current playthrough. The funny thing is, that you can unlock it, without beating the final boss 😁 all you need to do is to reach the last savepoint before final battle, and you automatically get into chapter 13 and unlock the post-game content. This allowed me to go little bit further with the equipment craftng for the trophy, as I was able to get some of the impossible to get items from the Ex Dungeon. I am over level 100 already, but I feel how much harder the game is on Universe difficulty compared to Galaxy. We’ll see how far I will be able to go into the Maze.Oh, and Horror Adventure - The Whisperrer is up for grabs as well. For 48 hours. https://www.gog.com/game/the_whisperer?source=newsGod of War and Uncharted collection is comming to GOG 🥹I have to do that some day as well. Shortly after I have purchased it on a release day, I played it a lot, but at some point, I just ended up playing Pazaak all day long, and then some new games have been released, so I’ve never actually finished it 😅Anyone here has some experience (positive or negative) with ATOM RPG and the standalone expansion Trudograd?Report from Avdiyivka frontline, Dmitri has in other tweet also a link to the source (if younknow Russian language). Interesting is, that it’s circulating on Russian telegrams a lot, also another interesting thing is a news, that UA destroyed troops deep in Donbas which were meant to reinforce the meat grinder, which was not reported so far by UA side.We’ll see in a month or so, if RU can sustain the self-inflicted destruction of their troops, and UA the number of shells shot at them. From what I have seen, IMHO there is a very high chance that Avdiyivka will fall, but the cost is beyond irrational, and if UA could hold long enough with favourable casualties, this could weaken RU army as much as banging their heads against the Kyiv and they might lose some territory again. But as she said, I am worried about the possible stockpiling of crusie missiles for the winter as well. But as always, they will probably shoot only at civilian targets, so UA troops should be safe. 🤷♂️OMG, man ends up longer at budiness trip, and someone already ninjaed his job!Well, "we" is correct in the context of Lithuania being part of EU, and as such EU made a promise, which is so far not fulfilled, mainly due to the Orban's obstructions 🤷♂️ And Lithuania together with other Baltic states made one of the biggest donations to UA in connection to countries GDP. So they fully deserve the pass, when criticizing others 🤷♂️Yeah Avdiivka, if Russia has enough meat to grind, will probably fall in week or two. Still Ukraine, with such terrible Russian losses during this offensive, has already achieved victory in this particular battle. And it will become even worse as they will have less "iron" to cover their troops. This is one more assessment from the front, from yesterday evening, before the situation has worsened according to Butusov.Well. I would agree about this assessment of yours, if Russia had unlimited personel. Which is not true. Currently Ukraine has more troops than Russia can possibly raise, as Putin is affraid to call for total mobilization, as it would made much bigger stain on his “election” as few hundred thousand corpses from Russian colonial provinces no one gives a crap about at home 🤷♂️ The other reason why I cannot fully agree with your assessment is that Russia helps tremendously to Ukrainians with their “brilliant” tactics, all we need to do is look at all the Russian “glorious offensives at Kyiv, Bilohorovka, Vuhledar and currently at Avdiyivka (etc.). All Ukraine needs to do, is to set their artillery at fixed points and load it as fast as possible as Russia is sending one meat battalion after another. And now Ukraine has cluster bombs which makes their job even easier. 🤷♂️ As Elerond said, Afghanistan won the war of attrition against Soviet Union, which ended up in collapse of Soviet Union, and Ukraine is playing out for them even worse in that regard. War of attrition is not won i. Two years though… So unfortunatelly for Ukraine, this will be very painful for them as well, but… I recommned you these videos as well for your research on the matter, which analyzes the attrtional warfare:That’s pretty nice gimmick… I do not remember such feature in any other game… ever 🤷♂️Yes, the Ukrainians should also do what Russia and throw thousands over thousands of soldiers, run them over with their own BMPs while dropping them of, and hope that at least one percent of the soldiers would not get cluster****ed so they could put thier flag in the middle of a destroyed wasteland. That’s how proper offensive looks like, right?I ended up in final dungeon of Chapter 12 in Star Ocean 5. I have almost finished the storyline, and I need to get down three more bosses including final one. But this walkthrough is my trophy hunting one, so I am slowly getting more and more of materials for various crafts and getting some Battle Trophies as well. These trophies are much easier to stomach than the trophies in SO4, and there are much less of them, but there is on ridiculous one... 1 million hits on enemies... And I have after 100 hours or so, around 180k 🤦♂️ we'll see how this one will fare...Nah, I know very well how that works, I am even willing to doubledip on some games. I get the game on release and GOTY after some time, if they offer a physical edition, and the game is exceptionally good. It's my personal way, how to reward the developers for their effort. I just loathe the Paradox way of DLC production, which Relic is a big fan of 🤷♂️ Myself I do not play their games, but I like to watch the let's plays. They do not sell it on GOG, so no sell for me. The issue is that most of the games are designed solely from the financial aspect, and they are missing soul. That's why I lately rather play indie games, even if they are flawed, because you can feel the very souls of the team put into some of them. Unlike the Triple A's 🤷♂️well, they are saying exact the same since they got the WH licence, and they are still making these DLCs. And I can understand, that all of the people get sooner or later highly annoyed by this tactics, as DLCs for this game is dirt cheap to produce, and guaranteed sale And I did not read Steam reviews. I have read some articles, and watched a guy, which I know, that he loves them despite these shenanigans, and I trust his reviews of TB content. But yeah, this does not mean, you or other people might not like it.
