I've only heard good things about Old World, best Civ game since Civ 4, that kind of thing. Well other than the babies crying because it was an EGS exclusive

What are you Playing Now? I name all the operations that go down in Taipei.
Hardspace is fun, although pulling myself at 20 m/s into a spaceship and dying from the cracked faceplate was a goof. The experience of working for uncaring bosses and doing menial, repetitive tasks is a bit too close to real life to be entertainment, though.

Ukraine Conflict - "History never looks like history when you are living through it."
Well the BHD incident was also a screw up. If Trump were President, they wouldn't have been there in the first place Canadian troops murdered a couple of Somalis, infamously tortured and killed Shidane Arone, which made people take a look into them closely and the entire regiment was disbanded as a result. If I recall the rest of the army here sent problem children to the regiment - proof of military intelligence if there ever was any. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somalia_affair

Yes, and didn't actually tackle those militias until later, and they failed at that when they tried. But at least they made a good effort and avoided having atrocities (aside from usual US collateral damage..) unlike Canada, heh.

Poor solution long term in the Somalia operation, not to mention the US ****ing up so much at the end - gunship strike, incompetence of the raid that scared them off.

Media here is banging the drum that they are outgunned and on the verge of collapse again as well.

https://www.pcgamer.com/starcraft-2s-veterans-left-blizzard-to-make-stormgate-the-co-op-rts-of-their-dreams/ Meh, really.- The All Things Political Topic - A politician needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year.
