Returns was good, simple Shadowrun fun. Mismanaged funds, but fun game. Dragonfall was great Shadowrun fun. Hong Kong I got bored and didn't finish.

I got a free key through Shady from the giveaway thread and felt guilty for hating the game - feeling the key was wasted on me. I am beginning to understand that I sacrificed myself and saved someone else from playing it.

Possibly the best character creator yet. Which Saints Row already was know for, so it being an improvement over the previous, kinda makes it the best by default. The prosthetics were a great addition. I briefly considered restarting the game and making a young boss with flawless skin, and after each Insurance Fraud side hustle, adding bruises and eventually prosthetics, to reflect the results of the mini game.

Archmage: a mage arching his back. It's all about posture.

More Vampire Redemption. To quote the Clash: I fought the UI And the UI won I tried to click things But clicked none I fought the UI The UI won

I am through the mines in Vampire: Redemption and on my first mission as a vampire into the Capadocian haven. I fight the UI/gameplay more than the enemies.

Playing some Troubleshooter. Hadn't tried the second DLC, but it should be content complete now (you never know with these devs, they keep churning out updates). Haven't gotten the hang of Misty. As a stealth character I am not sure what role she is filling in the team. But it also added more side missions, upped the level cap slightly, and added new opponents apparently, so there is enough to do to justify playing again.

Venom is interesting, as his story obviously ties in Peter as well and overall works in creating a likeable npc who isn't all bad but has issues. The others you didn't miss anything storywise. Deadpool and Storm were forced into it. Neither really has anything to offer in their discussions either - you already have Captain America and Wolverine to talk to for the experienced old people, you don't need to rechew it with Storm. Morbius works well for the DLC story arc and makes absolute sense there. So for me the DLC was a 50/50 success with the additions. It doesn't help that I didn't like Deadpool's mechanics either and by the time Storm was added, was too indifferent to care about her mechanic, which on paper isn't bad. I could have done with a smaller roster as well. I felt Wolverine was just random fanservice. The avengers kinda work to create this Avengers vs Midnight Suns dynamic, but overall for me they diluted the midnight theme. I would have liked the game to have been more bold and not just throw everyone in who they hoped would get one more fanboy to play the game.

I enjoyed Palace of Ice. I think it was the most polished extra campaign.

Mind, the information comes from Israel, which has no good track record with truth and comes conveniently right after the court ordered them to let aid in. A certain level of involvement between any aid agency and local groups in any position of authority is always given. You can't distribute aid without the authorities being aware. So obviously UNWRA will have had dealings with Hamas. But that this suddenly means UN personnel were involved in the assault is a stretch. Israel made up a story of beheaded babies. They made up a story of Holocaust survivors killed in the attack. They made up a story of families burned alive. They made up numbers. And now that Israeli journalists are disproving one story after another and are raising questions about the Hannibal directive, Israel suddenly has information about UN staff having participated in the 7 October attack, to change the narrative and ensure people will starve to death. If they had information, they had it for months and didn't reveal it? Pull the other one, it has bells on it. It is also interesting how people keep saying "over 1200" when the IDF has revised a while ago the number to below 1200. (1173 if I remember correctly, which is still near enough to say 1200 for ease, but not "over")

That makes sense.

Also, note this day on the calendar, but I have to admit: Bruce was right and I was wrong. He said the judges would not be swayed by their national allegiance but solely on legal merits. I had serious doubts. In some instances, even the ad hoc judge from Israel voted with the majority. I did not see that coming. So yeah: I was wrong.

They ordered Israel to prevent killing of members of the group. Prevent bodily and mental harm to members of the group. To order its military to not kill members of the group. To order it's military to not cause physical or mental harm to members of the group. The group = Palestinians in Gaza They don't even differentiate between civilians and combatants. They ordered Israel to completely cease killing people without leaving wiggle room of "it was a terrorist so it was ok".

Actually, for a ceasefire to be ordered, there needs to be a formal war and two waring sides. At least many analysts say that, so apparently those of us who hoped for the words ceasefire simply didn't know we were hoping for something unattainable legally. The order to not kill members of the protected group though is a clear order that Israel must not kill any Palestinians. The US response, while "better" than the Israeli one, is still a ridiculous spin. Israel's accusation now that UN aid workers were part of the 7. October attack is preposterous. Blinken's statement that the US would now cut funds to the UN (specifically the UNRW or how it's spelled) so as to not provide aid to starving Palestinians, just demonstrates that the Biden administration is pure evil.

Not the verdict. That will come in years if ever. But the preliminary measures have no teeth if there is a ceasefire. The ICJ can hardly order Israel to stop bombing, if it has a ceasefire and isn't bombing.
