WH:O was supposed to be like that, but gamers pursuit of efficiency led to it being trading, if I recall WoW PVP is also good for getting abuse by Gods that deigned to slum it if you don't heal them all the time. Shame these addons eliminate situational unawareness by people, I get primaried after first or second heal.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/03/13/ukraine-casualties-pessimism-ammunition-shortage/ "The situation on the battlefield now may not reflect a full picture of Ukraine’s forces, because Kyiv is training troops for the coming counteroffensive separately and deliberately holding them back from current fighting, including the defense of Bakhmut, a U.S. official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to be candid." “I get 100 new soldiers,” Kupol said. “They don’t give me any time to prepare them. They say, ‘Take them into the battle.’ They just drop everything and run. That’s it. Do you understand why? Because the soldier doesn’t shoot. I ask him why, and he says, ‘I’m afraid of the sound of the shot.’ And for some reason, he has never thrown a grenade. … We need NATO instructors in all our training centers, and our instructors need to be sent over there into the trenches. Because they failed in their task.”

That ratio seems to go up, was 5:1 last week. Seems it's a mix of everything there, Wagner and prisoners but now it seems it's VDV (where's Kamil Galeev now) and regulars. Ukraine's got TDF fodder and some better units like 93rd there. But who knows how many are left, maybe a withdrawal has occurred of all the heavy stuff and all that's left is infantry to book it out of there on wheels or by foot.

Also, if you don't pre-order, Putin wins.

Used to have them last 4-5 days, see people log in after work, out for sleep, repeat. Was a great experience though, battle would have ebbs and flows then ends on maintenance day, hah

WoW PvP is something else, after 17 years people still fight on the roads in AB, forgetting the lessons of their mothers and fathers. Damn, my WoW main is almost 18.

Strange to feel that way. But is interesting that they'll have 3 versions of the series running at same time. Maybe 3 will lose appeal, D2R won't, will have those committed to that as the be all and end all

Forms is better than doing this crap via Win32 anyway

This is ****ing rich from you. A lot of analysts are of the opinion that it's not serving that purpose now, Kofman if I recall said the losses are at parity now and the noose is tightening - basically that they should have pulled back two weeks ago. Not as if the country behind it isn't fortified, so not that devastating. But the idea Ukrainian command may err seems unpopular, heh, something to be said for marketing. An interesting claim by Kofman, incidentally, apparently both sides are so mauled that it's mobilized troops fighting each other for the most part.

Glad to read you're alive. Well, unless your killer is impersonating you..

And utterly dependent on NATO, too. https://player.simplecast.com/7d305e6e-a72f-402e-94e1-18ea5fad0880 Kofman visited Bakhmut apparently.

Somehow I think blow darts wouldn't be that big a deal compared to gunshots in the entire continent of Africa (as elsewhere except Antarctica..well maybe in Aus it's bogans). Just hide in a gated community, it'll be fine.

The UNHCR disagrees, naturally the UK will heed their words as they observe the rule based international order. You have to apply for asylum in the UK physically rather than at an embassy, no ?

As I said is sketch, not seeing anything new on it other than Western folk denying it and saying it's obviously Russians, etc. But incompetence isn't all that uncommon, theory is these aren't government agents after all. Read someone denying it as "if it were pro-Ukrainian it would have be done without these flaws", because I guess the side you're pulling for provides some innate competency. Guess we should wait for Sweden's report, though.
