It's not a strange question, really. The war has an economic dimension. And also it wasn't equating anything beyond what the US and others are giving Ukraine and Russia spending. Strange to turn him back, why give up free bodies.

Almost near the end in Andromeda, sort of disappointed finding one ark is in a side mission but oh well. Some of the banter is a bit funny, like asking why we're whispering after a stealth mission has gone **** up already. Understand the gripes about open world syndrome - dumb grindy quests and wandering all over the place. Really is best to handle it like a single player MMORPG (reminds me of playing TOR, somewhat). I should have played a melee or shotgun/melee character, seems like it'd be fun to be an assault marine type with this combat system. Definitely not going to replay this for quite some time, heh. Characters don't really seem like anything worse than we got in the main series to be honest, either. At least considering it's one game vs three. After this, think I'll waste my bonus money on Farthest Frontier

Going to be hard to translate dead and wounded into dollars, so I think the Russians are probably worse off.

This will probably suck.

Another $3B in aid from US today. Don't think anything sexy in it. Massaro probably upset they are not donating a Nimitz class.

Never seemed worth more than a sale price to me. Probably still is though

Ah that sucks, majestic.

The weaponry fetish in this war is hilarious. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/aug/22/russian-security-service-accuses-ukraine-over-darya-dugina-killing Estonia is next, obviously.

Japanese corporate culture is pretty crap yes. Good to know about that particular boss, though. I've been lucky, never had bad bosses - well was the one drunk that'd complain about working until 2100 when he came in at 1200... - just really awful management in some places. The former makes every day a sucky experience, the latter just draws out the misery over time

Or just warped by NA corporate culture. Complaints are more on duties rather than hours, which is fine, I think - hiring support but making them do DevOps work is a bit much. Good way to get free things like kudos and praise, at least. Sounds like something a **** boss would have on their door, heh.

Settled all the planets in Andromeda. Must have settings wrong but the game blinds me a lot - go to menu and come back to sunlit scene, white out. Disappointed to find a giant worm in the desert and just have it be background scenery though.

Best theory so far

Always found it interesting how they never seemed to show For a Few Dollars More on TV as near as often as the other two. As if they wanted to cover it up or something.

At least there's something to make wild ass guesses about now.

Strange to try to kill Dugin, no ?

Just anticipating deductions about Russian society and people at large, hence the amusement.

Will be interesting to see the extrapolation that goes from this

Well for me it's no wonder I got the grades I did. I talked to myself in the comments, pretty sure the TA's thought I was schizo..

Well he says he expects the West to turn over the needed goods soon. Who knows. Surprised it wasn't some scare tactic to get some new weapon.

Footage in that first Twitter post hurts my head. But at least there's trucks there. Also the workers were told to take Friday off, nice of the Russians What's causing you to whine about this ?

Pharaoh did add the roadblocks I think, which is a big change. Half the fun of Caesar 3 was wrestling with the weirdo AI. I still feel pride at using warehouses like some sort of waystation to get around market ladies' food priority

Pretty impressive mod.
