Well assuming that is to be taken at face value, they'd spent lives to take objectives, I guess ? Reminded myself that that genius Wesley Clark gave an interview this past week, sounded almost some kind of Wehraboo as he was trying to dump on Russia's military by referring to their reliance on their reputation from WW2 - which was unfairly earned as they just threw conscripts at the Germans and only won from Lend-Lease. Any moron can wear stars, I guess. Guess any use of one is not going to be a tactical one then - if one gets you the US in to kick you out of Ukraine, might as well punch as hard as you can ? Doubt it will happen though

Luckily no one cares that much. Something amusing reading that from an 'expert', heh. As for Russia not regarding it's dead as losses, have more backing for that ? In terms of individuals dying, maybe, but not too sure Russia will ignore loss of materiel and weakening formations. Besides, think said expert was talking at a more strategic level.

Well, the UK's not really like that, no ? Is interesting to note here how few people understand how it works - occasionally see some Canadians thinking we send money to the UK. Well that and the money we spend on the GG will mystically fall to zero when we get a President

Fanboy reviews I assume. Checked earlier and saw someone raving about it with 30 mins under their belts. Because I have more money than brains, I got it - can cope with the art, except in the close ups, just God awful. Shame they didn't make this sooner, passage of time affected the voice actors, Elaine most of all so far. Read a bit about the ending, Gilbert's being meta and clowning on the fans again apparently

Glowing reviews all over, although I find too many of them waste time on their nostalgia for the series. Wonder what the ending is, RPS said it "is going to be a bit metatextual in a way that tiny babies will get cross about" - I guess Thimbleweed Park redux ?

I dunno, the fact that he likes that art style makes me question his sanity...

Big leaks this week GTA 6 - https://www.pcgamer.com/heres-another-alleged-gta-6-leak-this-time-with-video/ Also 40 mins or so of D4 is leaked - https://www.pcgamer.com/now-diablo-4-test-footage-has-leaked-online/

Good reminder to get up and get a drink when one of those strikes. Well and maybe do some laundry, cook a meal.

Impressive show, that procession. Was an odd moment where one soldier just walked among the formation, like he was correcting people or something.

Weird to mention the frontline distance of all things, considering all the weaponry wank. I guess the campaign on infrastructure continues, doubt this is arbitrary, heh.

Got Farthest Frontier, very Banished like. Need a search tool for the buildings.

Example of the true crime of this war, god awful taste in music.

Can't see why they would want to downplay the boogeyman in the Gulf, though. In any event, shouldn't be a surprise that the drones can do work, not a silver bullet or anything. Also I guess helps sell Ukraine's demand for some weapon to counter them, from the NYT feed today, all of Ukraine's artillery is at risk. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2022/09/18/world/ukraine-russia-war

Surprised they are still attacking Bakhmut while all this is going on. The Iranian drones the Russians got are working well - https://www.wsj.com/articles/russias-use-of-iranian-kamikaze-drones-creates-new-dangers-for-ukrainian-troops-11663415140 Could just be a US media outlet overhyping the danger as it's Iran, heh.

Of course they will, the USA is a country of laws.

And they can charge for it at that time.

https://www.npr.org/2022/09/15/1123109768/migrants-sent-to-marthas-vineyard Wonder what the blue states can send in return.

You know what the Sahara is ? Same thing.

You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise...
