Random video game news... the critical eyes have it

Goal number 8 has been finished One more game gone from backlog. GOG copy of Deep Sky Derelicts: Definitive Edition has been beaten after a little bit more than 40 hours. I had a decent amount of fun during the whole playthrough, but the last three Derelicts and Mothership have been more or less pain in the ass. The random nature of combat due to deckbuilding base of the game has shown some flaws and caused few Game Overs. Including the final bossfight, where I was completely obliterated during the first attempt, and had almost no issues fighting him on second one. I am just glad, that I was not playing on Hardcore, as I would be pretty pissed-off right now ๐ .

Playing more Deep Sky Derelicts. I have reached the Max Level with all characters, and I have found the way to the Mothership During the voyage, I was able to get some very rare achievements, but missed one, which I wanted to go through And I am not able to find a way how to find last missing quest, which is required for it. Well we'll see how it will go tomorrow. I will give it one more chance, and if not lucky, I will go to the Mothership to follow the story.

Analysis by Slovak security expert, who is specialized into interconnection between Russia, politicians and security services in the country. Radovan Branik. Translated by DeepL. It is pretty long waal of text, but one of the most interesting parts is the last few paragraphs, talking about the second plane, which landed in Moscow after the crash of the first one.- Ukraine Conflict - conflict continues

The plane crashed in Tver. The rumours are flying around in Russia, that the Prigozhin and Utkin were ordered to be assassinated. If they indeed were on board, weโll see soon. But some RU pro-invasion Telegram personas are already getting very very angry, and are predicting very bad outcome for the person, who ordered the assassination, as the mood in the army is more in favour of these two ****.- What are you Playing Now? - What doesn't kill you, gives you XP
After few day of break, I went for more Deep Sky Derelicts. The game has due to it's nature strange difficulty spikes. Sometimes after a lot of easy-peasy encounters, you get obliterated in few rounds in the next one. Especially when you encounter Soulmorphs. I got first two station defense encounters, and the second one was really problematic to win. Definitely needed more than 5 attempts to win it. Still having fun, still feeling sometimes repetition. I have unlocked 3rd tier of derelicts and spent 22 hours with it so far.- Ukraine Conflict - conflict continues

Looking back at the info presented, it was not about all of the fires that broke up at industrial facilities, but about explosions and fires, which significantly impacted the function of sites affected by fire. I have no clue on what statistics was this information presented, I have presented it as it was shown here. I do not believe, that Russia has such transparent official statistics as New Zealand, which is available for anyone to look at, so that we or anyone else would be able to present it in the manner as in your link. ๐คทโโ๏ธ IMHO also even if Russia has more population, that does not automatically mean, that they have more factories. As their economy is primarily producing raw mined/extracted materials for exports, and is falling back behind the rest of the world in the industrial production. In that regard would be More relevant comparison with Venezuela.- Ukraine Conflict - conflict continues
It is needed to be taken with grain of salt, but Prigozhin himself has stated few weeks before his mutiny, that more casualties for wagner has been on the side of his โeliteโ soldiers compared to convicts. and here is the summary by UK defense. Every 48cm of landgrab by wagner cost them 1 casualty (KIA or WIA)- Ukraine Conflict - conflict continues
@xzar_monty IIRC, you have been wondering about number of fires in Russia before and after the start of the SMO. Today I have read in local media, that before 02/22 the average was 20 fires at industrial sites per year. In 2022, the number of reported fires at industrial sites is more than 90.- What are you Playing Now? - What doesn't kill you, gives you XP
I am slowly moving forward with Deep Sky Derelicts. I have cleared 7th derelict on Sunday, and it takes much longer to get through, than through the typical roguelite game. I spent almost 4 hours in the last derelict. Much longer than getting through full other roguelite game ๐ So far, I am having enough fun to continue further, but it sometimes feels little bit repetitive. Hopefully I will be able to finish the game, before I start to have that bad feeling which I do not appreciate in this type of games ๐- Ukraine Conflict - conflict continues
A counterargument to the latest Kofman analysis about Bakhmut battle. TL;DW Ukraine might have lost a lot of quality solidiers, but as a result, they completely eliminated Wagner from UA battlefield, and have been the big spark of Wagner mutiny. And this result was worth all of the sacrifice. He laso talks about the timeline, that during the phase about which is Kofman talking, the all of the convicts were already dead or pardoned, so Wagner had to use their most experienced soldiers for last two months of meat assaults as well. And that there is ongoing academic feud between Kofman and OโBrien (spelling?), who both has opposite views and neither want to admint, that they might have been not correct about their previous predictions ๐คทโโ๏ธ- Ukraine Conflict - conflict continues
