Mamoulian War

The most tossed around date for the full deployment of fresh mobiks is February 2023.

I am wondering, how would you consider the actions of Russians on the occupied territories, which they are taking towards Ukrainian speaking population, if you are so much triggered by using the word “profane” connected to the use of Russian language in Ukraine

Goal number 27 achieved After a few days of chilling in the main game, I have started and finished the storyline of Final Fantasy XV – Episode Ignis DLC on my PS4. This DLC was so far the weakest from the three character DLCs. It took me 4 hours, but I wished few times, that it would end sooner. The combat mechanics felt lackluster, and for the counterattacking, you need even better reflexes, than for Gladiolus. Which sucks for an old guy with slow reflexes. I am not looking forward to the DLC challenges at all.

I had some chilling time with running around in FFXV and finishing the quests, which I did not finished before the endo of the game, and in the meanwhie, I had finally enough time to put on youtube my fight with Cor in FFXV: Episode Gladiolus

Not gonna edit it further, but we have experienced also for tankies and vatniks surely very strange things with refugees. In Slovakia, only very few people actually speak Ukrainian language. So the communications with refugees was handled exclusively in Russian language. The only complaints about this, which I have noticed in the last 9 months, were suggestions voiced by Russian speaking Ukrainians, which kindly asked our volunteers to rather rewrite all the Russian language signs and notices to Ukrainian language. And surprise surprise, they submitted this suggestion in Russian language. Surely that was also a sign of how very oppressed they were at home…

That is absolute bull**** Russian propaganda. Russian language was never penalized. Zelenskyi is Russian speaking Ukrainian, he started to speak Ukrainian only after he has become Ukrainian president. I have never met a single Russian speaking Ukrainian, which has in any way prohibited to speak Russian language... I had also taken care of two Russian speaking Ukrainian teenagers, who started to speak Ukrainian only after the start of the war, and up until this day they speak more often Russian than Ukrainian, I have Ukrainian colleagues from Kharkiv, who was also never forced to speak Ukrainian. It might be probably surprise to you, but neither of them are now speaking how the evil West is at fault for all the **** happening in their country, as you do... Hell even my country has more strict laws for speaking Hungarian/Polish/Ukrainian at the municipality or state level than Ukraine has about Russian language... Banning any church, which is openly collaborating with a country which is occupying you, is reasonably enough. EDIT: The Russian speaking teenage girl I was taking care of with my wife, has run away from Doneck Oblast. Her city was no bombarded at the time, but guess what. All of her Russian speaking family, including pro-soviet grandparents evacuated to Krivyi Rih. To the "evil" Ukraine, which "oppressed" them their whole life... They did not think for a second, that they would ever voluntarily escape to Russia...

Just tell me, if you sign some agreement with someone, and this someone pisses over your agreement and laughs into your face, would you still be heeding to your part of agreement, like nothing ever happened?

The reason for this, is that China has stated very loudly, that any state using Nuclear weapons for attacking, would face dire consequences. After this statement by Xi, The Kremlin did 180 with the daily usage of nuclear threats.

Yes, they should. That does not mean that West being ****, does justify Russia being bigger ****

As in case of Ukraine, Putin would just probably count, that the West would collectively piss on Baltics with Article 5, as much as he did piss on Armenia with CSTO defense pact Putin definitely has miscalculated the western response to his attack on Ukraine. And now he just reaps, what he has sewn If Ukraine would fall in the first week, how he has calculated, I would bet my underwear, that Baltics would be attacked in the next decade.

Well, says the person, who did cheat on Ukraine in the first place when in 2014, he shat all over the Budapest treaty, where Russia agreed to be a guarantor of Ukrainian territorial integrity

IIRC I had with sorceress mixed fire/ice build, so this might have helped. But Paladin had some issues with that Fist of Heaven build, as it was Lightning damage as well. But I think, it was not pure Lightning, as I was able to defeat the three barbarians as well with him. With a lot of kiting, but still. The only other class which I played outside of Normal was Necromancer, but with him, I have never gone for Hell either

Unfortunatelly for Yemen, they are not seen as a Fortress against Mordor with nuclear arsenal. Like it or not, This really helps Ukraine a lot. All the Eastern European countries, with the exception of Hungary, will gladly throw as much money at reconstruction and defense of Ukraine as possible, just to keep the Orcs as far away from them as possible. Is it fair? No. Do I like that some countries have bigger value than others? Not really. But on the other hand. If Ukraine manages to win some day, rebuilding it with my taxpayer money, will make my family lives safer for decades to come (not only from military perspective, but also Neonazis here will lose their funding from Kremlin, and with it, their political power). Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for rebuilding Yemen, Iraq, nor Afghanistan. And yes… It sucks a lot…

Hmm, I was able to finish D2 plus expansion on Hell with Sorceress and Paladin without grinding. Of course it was not Hardcore characters. The Paladin has even a silly Fist of Heaven build to mock all my “powergamer try-hard” friends The only issue I had, was the council at the act III which had on hell many members with lightning immunities.

And another smoking incident in Russia, about 1000km far from Ukraine. And this is another example, how Russia takes care of their mobilised soldiers.

There is a pretty big probability, that some longer range missiles have entered the “game” in Ukraine, and might bring some change to the shape of battlefield, as hitting the Wagner HQ Melitopol with HIMARS would be considered very risky move. Two candidates so far, either Vilkha-M newest UA made missile, or some Turkish missile, which name has eluded me.

D2 Duping was even easier in SP though IIRC We did it all the time, we played SP for few days, and went to local gaming café for few hours to exchange loot, with backed up characters of course that was like our most used reason to start MP game ever

Has anyone here played Encased or Atom RPG? How long are these games, and which one would you recommend more, and why?

GOG winter sale has just begun, with Ghost of a Tale giveaway.

Nah, different era is just an excuse to expand the MP crowd for more milking. Good quality SP games still sell like hot cakes in millions. It’s just less profitable for the stockholders

In that case, It might be different country by country, all people which I know, have been playing D2 day and night due to awesome possibilities of SP, I spent few hundred hours on it as well, and played maybe 1 hour of MP

Nah, they just cut the part of the game, which did not brought any income after initial purchase

@BruceVC not wanting do derail it any further, but because you asked, New Caledonia is a prime example of what you are asking. Indigenous Kanak(?) people want independence from France, but they will probably never get it, due to French and other Caucasians have majority there.
