Heh

Tina Turner, 83

Another exciting day of

And then murdered in your sleep. Island is a perfect trap, after all.

Burke's favour missions were was the most tedious. Was funny when the car I'd have to steal would spawn back at the same location I just picked it up from. The game got buggier near the end, got stuck at a black screen several times, mission triggers wouldn't work or the NPC would get stuck behind a door. 2 DLCs down, the CIA one was....not all that fun really, seemed very combat heavy and not much stealth. Culminating in a ridiculous boss fight, seemed like it was in the wrong game. One more DLC to do and then I can put the game to bed.

At least Ellish's song somewhat fits the plot of D4 with Lilith, so it's not that bad.

Can't wait to see ISW's breathless update today.

After F-16s, I think they'll ask for spare ICBMs.

F-16 discussion, on Twitter, sadly.

Was trying to give everything to Vito, he was the PC in Mafia 2.

This is a war of immortals, Russian generals resurrecting last year

Mafia 3 done, 55 hours or so. Fun game, didn't get the ending I wanted - Burke and Vito each had 4 districts, I guess the game flips a coin.

I approve of the music choice, if for nothing to troll people. Impotent nerds need their metal I guess.

https://edition.cnn.com/2023/05/18/politics/us-allies-f-16-jets-ukraine/index.html "Without the jets, Ukraine is having to improvise, officials say. Defense officials and congressional staffers told CNN that Ukrainian troops have in recent weeks used the US-made Patriot air defense system to shoot down at least one faraway Russian fighter jet. The Russian jets have largely been staying behind Russian defensive lines, making them difficult for Ukraine to target with shorter-range systems like NASAMs. The Russian planes the Patriot targeted were on a bombing run to fire missiles against Ukrainian targets, US officials said, which Russia has been doing throughout the past year to maximize civilian casualties." Interesting, would have expected more crowing. I like the phrasing "bombing run to fire missiles" as well, heh.

I just take the days off to bum around at home or do stuff for/with family. Meant vacation as in "go to some foreign place"

Congrats! Never been on a vacation ever, hah.

Something great was lost going from 6 to 5 anyway.

Insufficient Adidas levels in that

Hmm..
