As long as France, Canada and the US take all the people.

Or he could have meant that as in he thinks the offensive wasn't going to succeed in the first place. Probably was some political pressure to get on with it and it is a test of sorts for further aid, but I don't think they'd just throw the dice

Releasing a trailer for the offensive was also a great idea, hah

I believe they've dialed it back to reaching Tokmak, so there's that.

Seems to be a strategic thing. D4 made a lot of money. The new changes look positive, although scratch my head as to why they do it late, heh. Steam reviews on D4 will just remind me why I don't bother with them

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-neo-nazis-white-nationalists-go-on-pilgrimage-to-galicia-waffen-ss/ This whole deal gets funnier and funnier.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/02/haiti-un-security-force-kenya-gangs Well at least something is being done to help Haiti out. Concerns about abuses won't matter much, short term response will be ends justify the means and long term will be shrug

https://www.politico.eu/article/fight-against-ussr-nazi-waffen-ss-trooper-yaroslav-hunka-world-war-ii-soviet-union-germany/ Interesting take on whole kerfuffle here in Canada. Not sure why he needs to stick up for the SS veteran, weird to imply that thinking the Waffen SS were all evil is a naive thing, either.

Finally got to use "I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further" when updating a database table. Sadly, only one dev got it.

The sidequests are amusing, the one with the moron cops and the obsessive fan were the best. Just about to start the endgame of the DLC I guess. Will stick with Myers as hey, I took an oath. Also will piss off Johnny.

Hm definitely my stick then. Shame I didn't hang on to my older Wingman Extreme, only thing broken there was the fire button as opposed to one of the axes like I normally do. Glad I still remember the control scheme from a 30 year old game, good use of brain space

Suicides are always tragic

Replaying X-Wing. Having my displays break due to damage,while immersive and suitably punishing for getting shot up, is annoying. Also, maybe I need a better joystick, utterly awful fine control with my current one, wonder if it's just a DOSBOX thing with a USB stick, but given it's the el cheapo Logitech one might not be

Got the novelizations of Ep 1 to 3, good to read during meetings at work. Decent enough books, the novelizations of AOTC is a bit better than the film, RoTS' novelization is much better - Anakin turning makes a smidge more sense.

Well my rig can still run it, so that's something. Reloaded an old save to play Phantom Liberty, but maybe should start wholly fresh.

Also, the Waffen SS veteran invited to the House is going to cost the Speaker his job here, idiot couldn't get a staffer to hit Wikipedia.

Had the day off to take dog to rehab from his spinal operation. Also learned Russian music goes very well with weapons fire.

Will be interesting to read about this in, hm, maybe 2 years after the war ends. Maybe people were concerned about escalation, Ukraine's not worth a war with Russia and US. Doubt Ukrainians are as dumb as people online who want them to strike Russian cities with them. Then again they did kill Dugina for some reason, sort of not worth the effort. Wonder what next the Ukrainians will cry for though. Maybe an Arleigh Burke or three.

More realistic statement, to be honest, it will have to end with negotiation. Russia is the successor to the USSR, and when it come to making decisions to help the ANC, wasn't coming from Kiev. Also, suppose it matters how Ukraine has supported RSA or not. Ah well, no one's team ever commits a foul.
