It's pretty popular, both DoW and DoW 2 are fun in their own way, you just have people that bitch too much. I did eventually beat the game, more or less cheese the boss by using Cyrus to spot an orbital strike. Just seemed odd in some cases as my troops would get shredded but in others just tear everything up. I largely still cannot use Thaddeus, poor guy just dies all the time.

I suppose a more pessimistic view will be that things are pretty bad if this is warranted (probably not).

Started the sequel to The Peripheral, Agency. Gibson sure name drops a lot big names (at the time) in Tech, heh.

Replaying Dawn of War 2, finding Captain very difficult for me, although I beat it at that level of difficulty back in 2012. Now, the answer is they patched the game to be harder or I just suck. The answer is obviously the former.

Hooray for Yeltsin. Great legacy, although I guess the alternative might have been worse ? It's at least amusing to watch, sometimes. Also, don't talk to masonry, folks

Will have to look around , curious how their fortifications are but I doubt all the OSINT types are going to be sharing that information.

Maybe we'll have a state funeral for him

Must be a sign the city's going to fall soon if ISW is saying this

Bishop.

No world domination https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-congressional-intelligence-chair-warns-serious-national-security-threat-2024-02-14/ "Two sources familiar with the issue said Turner's statement was related to Russia and operations in space, without providing further details on what was described as a highly-classified matter. House Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters at the Capitol there was no need for public alarm. "Steady hands are at the wheel. We're working on it and there's no need for alarm," he said."

Avdiivka looks like it's lost, probably. Shouldn't be a huge problem if so though.

It was a good novel, I finished it, got to see the credits twice - was a bit funny. Was expecting more based on some screeching about it being woke and anti capitalist. A cyberpunk adventure where corporations are scumbags. The shock. The horror. Really liked the setting on an abandoned space station and the world building was enjoyable. Now not sure what to play, maybe will go on to finish Wing Commander 2 fully, need to do the expansions. I have the talkie version of WC2 off GOG and good Lord....

Maybe we'll get a Jar Jar TV show as a result

Doubtful it'll get past the House - https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/02/12/house-ukraine-johnson-senate/ Surprised it's still not done yet. Also, points for creativity, I guess

Now I am curious as to why we have AAA ratings at all. Finance? Beef?

I feel old now

YouTube giving me gold today Worth it just for that awesome photo of Tito

Got new eyeglasses, so that's the excitement for the year.
