Mamoulian War

Somebody linked a Deutsche Welle article from 2014, which mentioned a lot of “accidents” to Russian appointed collaborators, after the Green Men were kicked out of Kramatorsk that year. Oh, and this one is really interesting as well

I have noticed it at some hunt givers already, yes. oh and for some reason, I prefer riding in a car on Automode, and listening to soundtracks, over riding chocobos. I even sometimes do not use autotravel to outposts, just to listen to some music, which brings me some memories from my younger age This is the best feature of the game so far that’s why it went up to 3/5 for me

I have read somewhere, that it is believed, that Russia has 174,000 troops right now in Ukraine, and I do not believe UA has as many active soldiers at the front ATM (they have definitely more soldier in total, but many of them are around whole Ukraine to defend the Belarus border and around Chernihiv, Sumy and Kharkiv). And they prefer the enemy to exhaust themselves impaling on their defense in Donetsk Oblast and HIMARS them to oblivion instead of full-scale attacks. Saves much more lives, and looking at the current number of Russian casualties, it works well. Especially, when there are now more and more rumours about power-struggle between Prigozhin, Shoigu and Kadyrov, which leads to a big amount of Russian casualties due to friendly fire Little bit explaining why so high friendly fire and so many bodies in this video

I got used a little bit more to the combat, but as you described, the best method to win, is spam Warp Strike and then hold attack button for second or two, followed by dodge/defend button and on Ignis technique, which name I do not remember, but it calls all the bros into the attack and it deals a massive damage to the enemy. Rinse, repeat, with occasional Potion use, and Healcast:Spell. Profit… Still feels to bland to me, but for now, my evaluation of the game increased from 2/5 to 3/5. But I am again feeling a lot of boredom, while running around the open world and finding absolutely nothing useful Finishing Chapter 5 btw

Few noteworthy news: Preparation for the war, allegedly began back in 2021. Russian appointed deputy head of Kherson administration had a smoking accident, while driving. Already confirmed by Saldo. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/11/9/7375620/ European Commision proposes 18 billions EUR help to Ukraine. Only Hungary is in opposition according to latest reports from news in local broadcast in Slovakia. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/11/9/7375619/ And according to UA officials, the news about UA being pushed to peace talks by the west, is just a Russian PsyOps, which the western media posted to get the clicks, as it is a very controversial topic. “They are not pushing us to enter into negotiations, but are simply saying that ‘it is desirable not to refuse the Russians so categorically’, so that Europeans can live more calmly.” https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/11/9/7375588/ Also, the speculations about lowering the funding if Republicans take over, most of the time do not mention, that most of them are in very close ties with Weapon lobbyists, and are warhawks. Therefore it is still possible, that the funding will be still the same, just with more oversight on weapon deliveries. Especially now, after some results are counted, and it looks like the “race” is much closer, than predicted

Just look at Marines and Zerglings, even the best of the best can be easily outmatched by incompetent if the numbers are high enough

Are you aware, that the Bridge over the Kakhovka Dam is in one of the red rectangles? And my image is from November the 3rd, where it was hit again, and there was a big fire exactly in the red rectangles… If they wanted to hit the Dam they would hit another bridge, the curved one which is on the picture on the left border, under left down corner of the green rectangle, which is considered the weakest link of that road, but “surprise, surprise”, they did not hit that segment once since start of the war. Exactly for the same reason, because it is the weakest link…

Well to me, it also seemed as an overstatement, but yesterday started to circulate letter send to Russian MoD, from Marines who were obliterated at Pavlika, south of Vuhledar front. After reading the translations, it seems to me, that the 60% might indeed be correct, as we have another confirmation, that Russian commanders on the Doneck front, are just a bunch of clowns, which are destroying their own army, with insanely stupid orders…

You are wrong, they did not hit the dam a single time. They hit the bridging of small water outlet area at the right bank of Dnepr River here you have the exact area, where all the HIMARS are landing… The fact is the Russia is last mont stealing, firefighting vehicles, ambulances, buses, and are sinking all of the boat in Kherson… Why do you think, they are doing it, if not as a preparation, for them flooding the area?

Translation of article by Russian Verstka newspaper, which is talking about how the conscripts are doing on the Luhansk frontlines. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/11/5/7375139/

Putin acknowledges with thiś that they do not have the means to enforce naval blockade of UA ports anymore, especially when Erdogan announce, that all ships will be transporting grain under Turkish flag. That’s why such a fast u-turn happened, as Putin finds it less embarassing for him, to backtrack, than to engage with Turkish navy, which has now upper hand in Black Sea Putin being concerned about third world is as much likely as him being concerned about casualties of his army

Chapter 3 of FFXV. Finaly something, which I liked. The Chocobo and Bahamut quest. Unfortunately it was just about 20-30 long. And more anoying stuff around. Imperial soldiers love to spawn at the most unconvenient places. I “love” this especially if I am in middle of a Hunt Quest, close to another beast spawn point. Fighting three big groups of enemies at once is really “fun” in this game…

And here is the link to the report on Youtube.

Another piece of puzzle uncovering the planned attrocities on Ukrainians by Russia…

Well, the journey so far sucks. If I want to do hiking, I’ll go out. Plenty to do around my place I expect from my games a little bit more, then what I got from FFXV. Sadly

So I have 12 hour clocked on Final Fantasy XV… If I would describe it in one word, it would be Bland… The Good: - Environment is gorgeous - Fishing minigame is relaxing The Bad: - Everything takes ages. Running around the map, story, sidequests, enemy encounters… - Most of the time “playing” the game, is just a waste of time and bland filler… - Because of the nature of the game, the subtitles are lost a lot of time to me. As a non-native English speaker, this is probably my biggest issue… After I finally get to the story, I miss some of the dialogues. It is impossible to pause them… - Lackluster and bland story. Story in Chapter 1 would be finished in previous FF games in around 30 minutes or so… Here it took me 10 hours… If I did skip all the running around for Hunts and Sidequests, It would take me probably 2 hours. Just because it takes ages to get to Objectives, which move you forward with the story… The Ugly: - Combat. Wait Mode is Atrocious, and real-time battle is chaotic… There is absolutely nothing good taken from previous games, to make the combat not suck - I have purchased Special Edition at the release of the game, which is just a waste of 120 EUR… Should have waited for discounted Royal Edition with all content for 15EUR…

I am planning to purchase ot, but, I am also Waiting for a pricedrop. Square Enix after their shift to live services and NFTs is on my deep discount purchase list.

Man, you are really delusional, you have absolutely no clue, how and when people are offended, and you talking bull****, that I did not care about what NATO did to Yugoslavia, and USA did to Iraq, is offending me to the max level. As much as it offends me, that someone tells, that I did not care what Milosevic did to Bosniaks, and what did happen between Hutus and Tutsis. **** is happening tens of thousand of years between nations, and dozens of wrongs in the past, still does not make what Russia is doing now, right. No amount of West blaming will wash the Ukrainian blood from Russian hands. The only one responsible for what is now happening in the world is Russia. Period. Because Putin attacked Ukraine, despite deal which has been agreed upon, between Ukraine and Russian ambassadors few days before 24th of February. The only thing what are you achieving with your whataboutism, is to approve all the ****ty unlawful conflicts of the past, because “no one cared” about any previous conflicts as well. And the same counts for all future conflicts. Whenever some idiot like Trump starts a new war in the future, everyone in the West, including their mothers, dogs and hamsters will be chanting “But what about Ukraine” back at you… so please, will all respect due, stick the “What about <insert random country>” somewhere, where the Sun does not shine, I am getting more and more offended by it…

Have you seen the report of FSB investigation, which was linked even here? It is a fairy tale on the same level, that the Iraq had WMDs…

The "funny" thing is, that the retaliation was planned well before Kerch Bridge incident. As soon as October 1/2, when Surovikin was appointed as the commander, as a show to appease the military bloggers and their ultranationalist followers/sponsors... Kerch Bridge was just a scapegoat. And it is as much possible, that it was not Ukraine, as it is possible that it was Ukraine, who did it

Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Collection giveaway on GOG.

I have finished Platinum Demo: Final Fantasy XV on PS4 to unlock Carbuncle Summon for the full game. I did not expected much, and still ended up disappointed. Big empty Open World, and clumsy real-time combat. I am not looking forward to play the full game.

Anglo-Saxons have published yesterday confirmation of their involvement in weekends Sevastopol incident at Crimea...

AFU scored a record on 29th of October
