Well, I didn't interact with anyone bar rezzing a dead guy, I didn't find it too bothersome but it was the early access beta and when I played it was hard to get in so maybe was just a reduced population. Had trouble with one boss, but was just me not dodging attacks and probably not apply vulnerabilities. Only got to lvl 14 with my rogue before the window shut, so not the greatest picture. Seems fun enough, the world building is nice, the writing is acceptable for Diablo. There's another beta period soon, will make an effort to try the dungeons out.

Whoops, wrong Tweet

Another glorious weekend of cleaning. At least the front end for my grocery DB is coming together, should use WPF instead of Forms though, maybe that'll be the next project

None that I could see, was wondering why some random elite was yelling at me, was an event I walked past and didn't see.

Truly they are totalitarian.

Early days in D4, memory usage is kind of nuts and I do get stuttering, but 8 year old machine so. Is pretty much what I'd want from a Diablo game so far, kill things en masse. Only had one crash/disco in about 2 hours so maybe luckier than most

That's nothing to do with what I wrote though, but carry on.

Well, they granted the ICC jurisdiction in 2014 https://www.icc-cpi.int/ukraine "Ukraine is not a State Party to the Rome Statute, but it has twice exercised its prerogatives to accept the Court's jurisdiction over alleged crimes under the Rome Statute occurring on its territory, pursuant to article 12(3) of the Statute. The first declaration lodged by the Government of Ukraine accepted ICC jurisdiction with respect to alleged crimes committed on Ukrainian territory from 21 November 2013 to 22 February 2014. The second declaration extended this time period on an open-ended basis to encompass ongoing alleged crimes committed throughout the territory of Ukraine from 20 February 2014 onwards." Is sort of funny regardless in a "Doesn't matter until it happens to me" kind of way.

Seen people complaining about memory leaks or at least high memory usage anyway. Well, guess this is a proper beta, heh.

The fact you think Kissinger, Bush and others would be there only on "ideologically biased" reasons is gold.

Debatable, they don't seem to do it that long. Neat bit of detective work

Just parodying some comments of people that seem to think handing GSC money is going to win the war. Company's response is fine. The reception of the game will be interesting to see, though.

A Russian drone getting knocked out of the sky ? I guess the same whining we have now and not much else Russia had a pilot get shot down and didn't nuke Turkey, after all.

Rebel Galaxy is also fun, if you've not tried it, and cheap to boot. Not really a space game as you're rooted to a plane, and it's not got immense replay value but should provide a fun 10 hours. Edit : I think I spent way more than 10 hours in the game, but point still stands, you'll get at least 10 😛

I think they were just screwing around with the drone, rather than wanting to down it. And shooting up US hardware is probably an escalation in things.

WH:O was supposed to be like that, but gamers pursuit of efficiency led to it being trading, if I recall WoW PVP is also good for getting abuse by Gods that deigned to slum it if you don't heal them all the time. Shame these addons eliminate situational unawareness by people, I get primaried after first or second heal.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/03/13/ukraine-casualties-pessimism-ammunition-shortage/ "The situation on the battlefield now may not reflect a full picture of Ukraine’s forces, because Kyiv is training troops for the coming counteroffensive separately and deliberately holding them back from current fighting, including the defense of Bakhmut, a U.S. official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to be candid." “I get 100 new soldiers,” Kupol said. “They don’t give me any time to prepare them. They say, ‘Take them into the battle.’ They just drop everything and run. That’s it. Do you understand why? Because the soldier doesn’t shoot. I ask him why, and he says, ‘I’m afraid of the sound of the shot.’ And for some reason, he has never thrown a grenade. … We need NATO instructors in all our training centers, and our instructors need to be sent over there into the trenches. Because they failed in their task.”
