Well, if they're having fun, guess it's nothing too bad.

Have some outrage at Canada's vote here, apparently they abandoned Israel in her our of need or some dramatic bull****.

At least there will be an end to all the scare mongering about T90s in Berlin in 5 years or something.

No joy so far on pressuring the Republicans.

Wonder what Zelensky will come back from the US with, if anything.

His greatest role. https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/notes-from-the-tribes-3-rivals-playtest-its-fun-but-is-it-tribes Well, at least there's a 12v12 mode.

Still with RT3. Got a good economy seed in the Japan scenario, beat it handily. One last scenario to beat then I guess I can start playing another game, the last scenario is one of the annoying ones where you need net worth. I always forget to do stock buybacks (well that and I guess I suck at earning money to do so).

Doubt it will, even with all the doom and gloom lately - e.g. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-67667035 Biden will either cave or just compromise and get Ukraine their money.

Article gone, never mind.

At least the UNSC session is starting off funnily, Russian Federation representative just mocking Blinken and being very upset about destruction and devastation. Vetoed as expected. Sort of funny to see the US rep as the only one with his hand up

Guess Russia decided they want Gurkhas too.

Still failing against the Japan scenario in RT3 due to the demand at the destination being very weird - the price is lower than places with an abundance.

Could always take it and attack St Petersburg. The C-17 one is pretty much a non starter, production ended a decade ago and I doubt people are going to part with any, I believe. More theater I guess.

Man, even buying the game is buggy

It was a guy that wrote that article for PCG

https://news.un.org/en/story/2023/12/1144447 US might as well file their veto now

Got some force behind that

https://www.pcgamer.com/warhammer-40000-rogue-trader-review/ PCG's not a fan. Although not sure what PCG is worth these days. RPS seems a bit more positive https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/rogue-trader-is-the-first-warhammer-40k-game-ive-played-that-feels-genuinely-epic

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/12/05/israel-military-offensive-hamas-destruction-gaza/ https://archive.is/e1WnY "At least 5,000 Hamas militants have been killed, according to three Israeli security officials, leaving the majority of its estimated 30,000-strong military wing intact." https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/05/middleeast/israel-hamas-military-civilian-ratio-killed-intl-hnk Conricus added: “I can say that if that is true – and I think that our numbers will be corroborated – if you compare that ratio to any other conflict in urban terrain between a military and a terrorist organization using civilians as their human shields, and embedded in the civilian population, you will find that that ratio is tremendous, tremendously positive, and perhaps unique in the world.” Now that's hasbara.

5 years before you can get it 90% off

Yes, but the interesting part is the weighting people apply. Kissinger is an interesting exampe, see Ferguson's quote from earlier. Which is pretty bankrupt, but people run with it. In any case, people get really upset about statues of dead people either way, which is funny at least for the people that love them so as no one really seems to pay them much attention
