Europe's peaceful for some time (well other than the Yugoslavian wars that everyone seems to forget right now). Probably having failed states on your border like 90s Somalia or Afghanistan or ones in a civil war (CAR's is still going huh) would be much worse.

NATO sending more troops in - https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-65759214

I guess that was their vengeful response to the air attacks this week. So strange to see the media bleating about it here when everything gets intercepted.

D4 getting good reviews, it seems.

Well KFOR is meant to guard against the Evil Serbs, or something. Nothing is ever simple in the Balkans.

Ahh, I miss the old days of gaming

Back to trying to finish off all of Wing Commander 2, sort of sucks wingmen only die when the plot warrants it, but eh. The voice acting is...wow.

Strange, what's unpleasant about that? Well, maybe realizing the former headlines were mostly scare mongering for X weapons system, I guess.

Done Mafia 3, the bounty missions were boring but that's done. Now free to do nothing until D4, I guess. Or maybe something productive

Probably same as last time, 2013 ?, deal made close to the wire.

Still impresses me that HoMM 3 is the bestselling game on GOG after all these years.

Heh

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.
