The only dialogue that sounded unnatural was Panam & Saul, but that's just because the natural way is so poor. That said, "nova" and "preem" get my teeth on edge a bit

Well its destination would probably be in Russian airspace, they've been doing that for the whole war.

Up to 15 now https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/gunman-opens-fire-school-russias-izhevsk-russian-media-cites-local-police-2022-09-26/ Rookie numbers for school shootings in Russia.

Sure, that's one interpretation I guess. For infrastructure targets, I didn't see the reason for outrage, others have done it and it was okay then. As for incendiaries, eh, everyone has fainting spells anytime a weapon of that class is used (amusing when I recall US media thumping a bit on thermobarics during Afghanistan/Iraq). If they were smart they'd use WP, then get the dodge card everyone else plays, heh. That and well, everyone says it's a war crime everytime, assuming every village is chock full of civilians in the 20 second clip.

Back to Farthest Frontier, food spoilage is a hassle, for now just brute forcing past it. Game really hates me being a farmer, endless disease and pestilence even when I leave it fallow for 2 seasons. Still is fun though, even if it's just Banished but a bit deeper.

Surprised none of the usual people are bleating whataboutism at you Saw that drone video, if it's the same one anyway, 36 seconds long is a good springboard for sure. 1 KIA it seems, but 2 others also get wounded. Ah well, is why war porn isn't really worth watching, no matter what excuse for it one drums up.

Rained a lot, so spent time clearing storm drains with a rake. Probably looked weird to everyone

Given they don't recognize Crimea...big deal ? Consider the precedent set if they did Hm, given the mobilization, next thread will be "wollt ihr den totalen krieg" ?

Return to Monkey Island's ending is crap, but to be expected. Game was very easy, I'd thought the keys puzzles would be harder, one part is just carrying a document over and then getting one just like that. The last puzzles are a bit tricky but are decent enough. Should have refunded this and got it on a sale, $30 was too much to pay (yes, yes, the SoMI quote..)

Consider you're not seeing literally everything, though. Seen Telegrams of regular looking people in decent spirits, others with trash or very downbeat people. The video of one guy with a rusted AKM is funny, though. All said, probably just too late.

Part 4's not harder, just more tedious. They sure did Elaine poorly in this game, no spark or anything, bleh.

Reached Part 4 in RtMI. Game's really easy, which is a shame. But at least no really out there puzzles, I guess. Still not all that funny, chuckled maybe once so far. I did enjoy the sequence on the ship. Apparently part 4 is the good part, though, so we'll see.

Hitting Odessa of all places with the Iranian drones.

So soon ?

News cycle moved on from wetting their pants over the reactor.

Speaking of, they crossed $500 M in funding recently

Have to co-ordinate your putts - sink one to move a mechanism so the other player has a path to the hole ?

Some of the Azov may go to Turkey to sit out the war though

Yes, I believe that is the scare tactic pitch. But had meant new stuff - Abrams, ATACMS, F-16s, etc. Then again, I find retired US generals blather on a lot and are of dubious value, at least the ones that pop up on CNN et al. . Clark and Flynn got stars right ?

Hm, with this Ukraine shouldn't need any new weapons sytems regardless then.

Skeptical of his statement, "We have long supported and permanent seats for countries in Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean.” Also for a chuckle - “As we manage shifting geopolitical trends, the United States will conduct itself as a reasonable leader. We do not seek conflict, we do not seek a cold war. We do not ask any nation to choose between the United States or any other partner. But the United States will be unabashed and promoting our vision of a free, open, secure and prosperous world and what we have to offer communities of nations.” As per Guardian feed, at least. Watched the speech, impressed he mentioned only using the veto for critical issues.

What would NATO's aim be there - expulsion of Russian troops from Ukraine ? Or further to police the use of nuclear weapons. Probably better if it's just a separate coalition I guess, don't have to bother with it being NATO's business that way.

Kofman's comments, fairly reasonable. Wish he'd use Medium or something, though.

Didn't say I was active. But okay, the culture war bull**** pervades many threads it should not, but anyway, Putin will denazify the Codex after Ukraine hopefully.
