Delicious in Dungeon final chapter. What a satisfying ending.

Putting it in Spoiler tags, as my family history isn't game related
My father was the secretary for the left wing youth organisation during the military dictatorship in Greece.
It is a bit weird when you are a teenager and your mother goes "you are old enough now for these things. The friend who is visiting is the one who jumped in front of the knife on that occasion and got stabbed instead of your father."
When I was in my twenties and Golden Dawn (the Greek Nazi party until recently) got stronger, we got fairly regular notifications from the police that my father should cancel his book presentation or appearance at public events because there were credible death threats and they couldn't guarantee his safety. Which would then mean my mother would tell me I had to cancel plans because I had to watch the crowd for suspicious people...
And then the threats stopped. During the golden dawn trial we found out because he had gotten put on their "no kill list" of people too public, who's murder could be detrimental to their image.
And now he is old so his influence is not what it used to, so nobody wants to murder him anymore.
I have this memory from when I was 7 where I was waiting behind the door with a big Jesus statue, ready to bash the man who had appeared at the front door and was threatening my mom. She was scary enough on her own and didn't need a hobbit to save her
anyway, now you got the rundown on why I react strongly to certain subjects
Here they would send you to "Goli Otok" to smash rocks if you were a credible threat to the party, or if not the police would just beat you. If you were a threat, then you would have a car accident in which you hit the only tree on a side of a 100km long road.

The "get a new phone" experience sure has improved in that time, at least there's something to be said about being stuck in Apple's sect-ish ecosystem. A quick bluetooth coupling, some minutes of copying the setup and files and you're done.
Not really unique to apple. Android has the same thing. Now going from one to another is a different matter entirely.

Maybe you were dreaming that you were dreaming inside a dream, so then the rules don't apply.

@Bartimaeus That will teach you for ridding a bicycle. Get an electric scooter like everyone else.

Such a disappointment of a game, the worst way to lose... That 3/4 lost us the game and it was completely on us that we were scared to shoot. Sadly we were missing the Dobric who got injured at the start of the game.

Germany showed up, but that last bad pass cost you the game. Well at least the "EU" can handle a B-C US team.
We have a joke here. This is Angela Merlkel's team.

On to the finals. Again our second half is not good, but I think that it's not impossible to beat the US team (if they win against Germany). We have a good bench, we just need to play with more confidence and concentration in the second half.

It's technically pro-Maidan and anti-Maidan and they didn't all die, the vast majority survived the incident. I used anti-Russian to mean they want to be part of the West and not under the Russian sphere of influence anymore. Though I'm sure there are plenty of those that are racist against all Russians, especially now.
There are a lot of sketchy and questionable things about the incident, even on the wiki page.
When people want to kill each other there isn't much that you can do to stop them
I don't know why I wrote all, I meant disproportionately the pro Russian side had died. Either way, I am not defending the Russian side, my original point was that Ukraine is not innocent in this either.

Especially with foreign influences stocking the fires.

I mean there being anti-Russian protests in the first place does not paint a good picture. I also find it convenient that the pro-Russian attacked first and subsequently all died. I've seen this exact thing happen before, I have absolutely no trust in the news sources from any side and can see that this war was planned and pushed for.
On the one hand I hope it blows up in the face of the forces behind it, but on the other hand I do not because that would be a shortcut to disaster.

This is the incident all my Russian in-laws reference though the facts, as I've been able to find them, don't match up with their claims.
How so? I'm pretty interested.

Poor Italians... It wasn't going to be pretty after their loss in the previous game, luck of the draw I guess.

Won against Lithuania convincingly, although the last quarter was atrocious and the game was low scoring. All of which has me concerned. The whole time we were leading by 20 I had the feeling it was by 2, I guess one you get burned on milk, you will blow even on yogurt.

Right??? ! Like, what was she doing in that place alone late night with so much make-up and shorty short miniskirt?
Apparently setting fire to a building full of Russian civilians.

To be fair, it wasn't precisely a myth. One hadn't been destroyed by enemy action until whenever that video was shot, just one destroyed accidentally by the Brits themselves.
(OTOH, them surviving getting hit by
eleventy billion70 RPG rounds in Basra always seemed to be about as hyperbolic as, well, calling 70 eleventy billion)The amount of action it has seen is a big contributor, to say nothing about believing UK reports. But I guess we will see if this is a fluke or not. Also I find it pretty funny how much PR the German tanks have been getting lately to counteract the bad press they have received so far. This war is one big commercial, but then again I guess any war is.
1 hour ago, xzar_monty said:The support that comes down to you saying fairly explicitly that you have "nothing against" Russia in this[*]. That just seems to contradict rather sharply with the other sentiment you just expressed, the one I responded to. As for your second question, you're quite right: nothing that we express here either helps or hinders anything.
I'm pretty sure I never said that. I am not on any side in this, but I do not think that Ukraine is innocent in this whole thing either.

Why the constant support for Russia, then?
What support? Either way how would supporting anyone here help?

What was the first?

There goes the myth that a Challenger was never destroyed in battle.

Ukraine insists that Russia exploded drones in Romania, while Romania insists no such thing happened and on the other hand you have claims from some Russian sources that drones were launched from Estonia. If this whole ****fest doesn't blow up in the world face I think we can count ourselves as lucky.

I doubt it will happen twice. The US is still the favorite by far. The biggest surprise for me was Spain, who knew Canada had it in them.

So in a big upset the USA lost to Lithuania, which makes us losing to Italy actually lucky. We get the easier side of the bracket. Still have to beat Lithuania which is easier said than done.

Kagurabachi chapter 1, from the author of Hunters Guild: Red Hood (that guy who did a meta ending of his manga getting the axe). Strong first chapter, but then again so was Red Hood.
