The discussion I've seen is that the final 20% was a bit rushed, and this shows in confusingly cut content and some rough edges. Hopefully they will be able to address that. I did find it a bit short, but that's mostly because it drew me in and I enjoyed the experience. It did last for fifty hours, which is normally plenty.

I find the story is comparable in quality to that of Drakensang: The Dark Eye. It's good enough in my view.

Finished Solasta. It was quite enjoyable for about 50 hours, but I don't feel like having a replay right now. Got my money's worth though. The three dimensional movement was certainly a unique mechanic, and one that had been lacking in games of this style. Perhaps others will try that now? Maybe I'll go back in a few years and give it a go as druid.

Well, if that's illegal then the US obviously went way too far in sending armaments to England prior to entering World War 2. Lend-Lease and Military Aid to the Allies in the Early Years of World War II

Putin will need this to be a short war. Modern military battles are expensive and the West can significantly outspend the mediocre Russian economy. Plus we're sanctioning their banks, so they'll probably need to print money to keep it funded (unless they get loans from China). The longer this lasts, the worse it gets for Putin.

Support options for the Ukraine include logistics, weaponry (physical and cyber), intelligence, communications, training, and private contractors. The West can choose to make this an unending and painful occupation for Putin, possibly leading to a change in government.

I'm still playing Solasta, and it's proven much better than I had expected. This is the most fun I've had with a video RPG since P:K. Hopefully they do some follow-up games using the same engine.

So much for nothing will happen, it's all a bluff. Right. My sympathies for the people of the Ukraine.

Normalize should be in quotes. Those demands are basically a Ukrainian surrender to Russian mastery. No country worth its salt would find them acceptable. Modern evil on display.

Goose step, Belgian version. I'm down with that.

That's your tailgater's wet dream, right there.

Well Faux News is available in Canada, so they may be having some of the same irrational influence up there. Besides, everybody can join the same forums on the net.

I picked up Solaris and I'm enjoying it thus far. There's a bit of a learning curve since I never played 5e before. The one oddity is that cleric spell preparation is handicapped by whether you have a free hand available at the time. There's no way to correct that unless you remember before long resting.

They took a dewormer to own the libs. Huh. Something to tell their grandkids, I suppose.

Ivermectin does not prevent severe COVID-19, study finds This isn't really a surprise as we've seen similar study results before. It's still not clear to me why the right became all "religious" (in the dogmatic sense) about this drug.

The Fourth Geneva Convention disallows bombings that are indiscriminate or in the form of reprisals against civilians. https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/ihl/WebART/470-750065 I believe Russia is a signatory. The question then is whether the Aleppo bombings violate those accords. If there were military targets in the bombed locations, then it might be found legal, if inhumane.

I wonder if we'll have a big tutu turnout next 2's day? (I.e. Tuesday Feb. 2, 2022.) Or perhaps a teutonic tutelage?
