After the Kerch bridge accident, While the Russians are destroying grain, wheat, barley and the oldest cathedral in Odessa, Ukraine destroyed two of the largest Russian ammo warehouses behind the front, thus hampering supply of frontlines, which already caused notable reduction of activity of RU artillery on Zaporizhzhia front. 🤷♂️ -
So I have run a long Tales of Arise marathon with breaks after each hour played, and I was able to clear all of the Rifts and some Ultimate colosseum solo fights. 4th rift was the reminiscence of Tales of Zestiria, on top of the mountain, where one big dragon was living. Fifth was homage to Takes of Berseria, also on top of the mountain, where Magilou has said final good bye to her teacher. The last rift was for some reason called Vesper Rift, but it was part of the Tales of Xillia 2. Namely the last battle arena in the Land of Canaan, where you have fought final boss. The hardest battles for me were Abyss and Berseria, but I was able to successfuly defeat all of them and I have finished all but one quest. The game is 89% complete. Although to 100% the game, there is needed part of the New Game + to get some items. We’ll see if I ever go for that. The goal for now, is Platinum Trophy 🙂

Finished first three of the “Otherworld” cameo areas in Tales of Arise and defeated their bosses. The Spirit Forest from Tales of Symphonia really resembles the look in the original game. Unfortunately I can’t remember the Oracle Snowcap from Tales of the Abyss area at all It should be somwhere close to the end of the game, but my memory is failing on this one. The first area was from Tales of Destiny. Still waiting for the game to get full english fantranslation for DC version, to play it for the first time. So I have no clue where from the Caverns of Fate are as well 🤷♂️

Well, the Girkin situation is pretty interesting, as he openly condemned Prigozhin’s mutiny and voiced support of Shoygu and Gerasimov. And despite that, it is him, who ended up arrested. This might trigger some “russian patriots”. Oh, And the Article on which he was arrested is used a lot to get down political opponents. I am curious how this turns out.

International Human Rights Court has struck a case against Ukraine about oppresion of Russian language speakers. And blaming Ukraine for destruction of MH17. Russia ignored all requests by the court for “clarifications”, so the court “dismissed” it. I do not speak lawyerish, but this looks to me more as technical verdict, although with it, it has dismissed cases, which are not covered by other applications. Although, it is also written, that the court found no grounds relating to respect of human rights, to pursue in further examination of the case. https://hudoc.echr.coe.int/app/conversion/pdf/?library=ECHR&id=003-7706301-10639634&filename=Russia v.

During all of the kerfuffle around NATO summit, it have been pretty much lost, at least around here, that France will provide their SCALP/EG missiles to Ukraine (the same missile as Storm Shadow). I read somewhere, that unlike Storm Shadow, which has shorter and longer range variants (UA got the shorter range variant), these are manufactured only with the maximum range of 550km. Is this information correct, can’t find anything about them in a language, which I understand.

RU Lieutenant General Deputy Commandern of Southern Military District has been slain in Berdyansk by Storm Shadow strike on a hotel used for accomodation of RU officer. It is rumoured, that he was not the only top cargo 200 in that hotel. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2023/07/12/7411020/ edit: Tsokov.

Are you aware, that few month ago CDPR fully implemented ESG? 😅

This is made me chuckle. UA Naftogaz has started cases on US arbitration courts against RU Gazprom, that during the time, when they shot videos how the EU is gonna freeze, they did not move contracted volume of gas through Naftogaz pipelines, and are demanding compensation for breach of contract 🙈 Of course, Russia is already whining 🙈 Naftogaz has already won few billions from Russia, as a compensation for lost assets and revenue in Crimea. So I hope they will be successful with this as well. Nothing hurts Russian mobsters more, than losing money. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2023/07/7/7410322/

And I was able to defeat last of the 4 big Spirits who came with light from Lenegis in Tales of Arise! The Sylph was the hardest of them all, and I have spent loads of items to stay alive. The reward was my 20th artifact, and the trademark Hot Spring Event 😆.

More Tales of Arise post game. Defeated “Night Blossom of Nevira” and Ultimate Zeugle super bosses. Built “ultimate” accessories for most of the party and cleared little bit of Training Grounds. I am missing last Super Boss (the wind spirit) and then I will unlock some new quests and grinding to max level 😩 We’ll see how “enjoyable” it will be in this game.
