No one likes a religious extremist Hurlshot ....think carefully about that decision

You have to factor in Romance outcomes in games like this so I get what you worried about with Nasty, I made the difficult decision to finally join the Berserkers in ELEX 1 I liked their magic and their view of the world but I thought they were a little naïve around their rejection of technology. But thats another reason why I love PB games, you really have to consider choices around factions

Sure, end of the day I would support buying gas in Rubles if the EU has no choice That should be obvious, in English we say " you dont want to cut off your nose to spite your face " But here is another concerning metric of the deeply damaged Russian economy, the Russian stock market has still not opened properly....over 1 month since the invasion https://finance.yahoo.com/news/russian-stocks-fall-again-moscow-094646223.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall

Their arent many things more laborious and stressful than having to move...packing all your things up and then unpacking And its not like you can pay someone to do it for you so I can empathize with your pain

Gorthfuscious !! Thats a terrible thing to suggest, how do you sleep at night

As long as you doing the DIY yourself thats the most important thing ...you dont want to bring in some contractor to do the work !!!

Cynical but funny But on a serious note. I would argue since Trumps election their has been more accusations of political dichotomy and disfunction than ever before in the US I would regularly hear comments on the likes of CNN that " the US is a politically divided nation and we need to heal " But this Ukraine invasion has demonstrated that you can absolutely achieve bipartisan support in the US and it does matter if you think of the effectiveness and level of the US sanctions against Russia So for our all American members, things are really not that bad in the US and outside of the Trump theater they never have been You just need a real threat to the US, or its historical allies like the EU, to see unity and Congress working together So well done to the US Congress for working together and supporting Biden where necessary during these dark times of Putins War I have said this before and I will say this again. Putins War has had the unintentional outcome of uniting the EU and NATO. Im just sorry its been at the loss of Ukrainian lives But if Trump has been president I shudder to think what would have been the US response ?

That looks like it has huge potential, I like games set in a Western theme and I like the whole choice and consequence outcomes I see you can create temporary ghost towns if you wipe everyone out

https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/germany-g7-rejects-russias-demand-pay-gas-rubles-83718683 Their is nothing amusing about Russia trying to worm out of agreed on contracts for gas payments Thats why the G7 rejected it

No, thats very unreasonable The US has been involved in much more important and positive conflicts ,and I would say are indeed morally proper, than negative conflicts. And we wouldnt have the freedoms we have today if it wasnt for countries like the US and their military contribution Think of WW1, WW2 and the Cold War....can you imagine the hell of living under Communism like the USSR ?

Did they spread and believe misinformation mostly for not understanding the national and ethnic reality of Ukraine or did they do it because of more ideological reasons and some being anti-western and Russian apologists or did they do it for other reasons? And I realize this doesnt apply to everyone, I am just interested in your observations

Interesting, I have never heard of The Council but that looks like exactly what they doing in Swansong Its looks fun and has more traditional RPG mechanics than Coteries which was great but thats a " real " narrative RPG

This quote below will go down in military history as one of the worst predictions ever made

Yes but I want to see a ceasefire but its not happening now

The military success of the Russian invasion has definitely gone against them in several areas but its still better to reach a complete ceasefire IMO than one more Ukrainian has to get killed

Keep us updated of your Elden Ring exploits and adventures ....no major spoilers of course

Putin did lie its true but now Russia is in a different and much worse position than 2 months ago where Putin miscalculated on several levels that include he underestimated the Ukrainian military resolve he overestimated the Russian military effectiveness he didnt think NATO and the West would be as united or be able to implement the sanctions they have been able to do he underestimated the damage done to the Russian economy by the Western sanctions he doesnt have UN support or even the support of his " friend " China. The CCP is taking the warnings seriously from the US and it allies about not supporting Russia in certain ways So I can believe Putin and the Russian military want a way out and I can also believe this statement about not using nukes is sincere

This is an important story and a good news story despite all the suffering the Ukrainian people have endured Thanks for posting

Good news, Russia said it will " drastically reduce military activity " in Kiev Hopefully this bodes well for the end of Putins War

This type of false narrative from Putin is so clearly spurious it almost makes you think " its an insult to the intelligence of anyone with an interest and access to free information that Putin could expect anyone to believe that " But this propaganda is aimed at those Russian people who can only watch the state controlled media so it doesnt need to be believable because it wont be heavily scrutinized by the intended audience . Its similar to that video you posted about the Russian solider getting lambasted for just wanting to recognize Russian military deaths. But many Russians dont believe a word from Putin but they still live in Russia so what can anyone really do when it comes to a autocratic state happy to use the full might of its security forces on its own citizens who disagree with the state? The CCP are worse though with their public statements like " only 4.5 k people died in Wuhan from the virus in the beginning " ...like anyone would believe that the first variant , where we had no knowledge of how it spreads, would only kill less than 5000 people. Tell that to the people of NYC, Spain and Italy who went through that initial terrible carnage of Corona deaths due to the world not understanding much of Corona

But once again if Putin wasnt obsessed with trying to recreate the Soviet borders and hadnt invaded Ukraine we wouldnt be in this mess So Im not convinced by the argument " shame, Putin is a victim of the evil Capitalist, West and he had no choice but to invade a sovereign country "

The economic consequences and real sanctions that are going to be with Russia for years is what will prevent them from doing it again I know some people see this invasion in a military sense and " how many civilians the Ruskies can kill...man they winning " but wars and the sustainability of any government are about the economic reality and the funding of those wars And the long term economic consequences to this war havent even been felt yet by Russia. That will be the main reason for Putin pausing the next time he decides on an invasion of a sovereign country to recreate the Soviet borders as an unnecessary buffer to " NATO expansion "

Interesting update, I removed some duplicate mod versions and confirmed all rules were consistent and now its stable so it looks like Im good to go

The most accurate test of " is this the real Hurlshot " is simple. If he uses corporal punishment in the game its not Hurlshot

Why you using such big words, dont you mean links ?
