Randommer/Interestinglier/Weirder - now more of everything for the same low price!
A lot of Europe has AC, there isn't an apartment in Serbia and Balkans without it. Italy and Spain are probably the same deal. The issue other countries north are having is that their summers had gotten hotter. I imagine that it's a couple of idiots that are yelling that are being amplified by the government, probably due to infrastructure that would collapse by mass AC adoption. Energy is in a precarious state in EU, no dirty coal, nuclear is not popular apart from France and gas is no longer cheap and readily available.

This channel is one of the best yt military analyst around. It's in Serbian, but there are subtitles for some videos like the one above. This one is also great but sadly no translations. He analyzes in details the what happened in invasion of Kyiv, along with the losses.- What are you Playing Now? Volume XX: It all Begins Again
Zero Company is much more cinematic, so the story should be better. Performance is palatable. It's not good, but it's playable, especially considering that I am using the highest settings and native resolution. I'm still early on in the game (or at least I think I am) so I'm reserving judgment. Oh and I found out you can change the action wheel in the game settings.- Randommer/Interestinglier/Weirder - now more of everything for the same low price!

I do not like that they picked the worst type of turned based, the one Larian uses. Why not use grid based movement, especially because there is nothing in the environment that would benefit from that style. Controls need some polish as I find myself picking the wrong action 50% of the time, also sucks that the action selection is fixed around the character instead of being fixed to where the camera is. I'm also fighting the camera often. Apart from that I'm making progress, waiting for the game to open up a bit.- randoM videO gamE neWs...

Really like Menace, it has its flaws but the gameplay is very good and the variety is outstanding. Story is just there as a flavor, but it doesn't detract from the game. The only knock against it is that it's on the harder side to get in to, the tutorial is non existent and some gameplay things are not obvious. For an example, I upgraded a section of my ship and I though that I could upgrade the whole tree in that module, turns out that you can only pick one branch and there is no warning to say, hey you will destroy the previous upgrade and lose all the resources you used on that upgrade. By the time I figured that out, I already lost the save and even if I hadn't I wouldn't have wanted to reply that much. The game is still in EA so stuff may improve, but so far it's good.- randoM videO gamE neWs...

US C-17A Landed in Moscow today and there's this video too. Will be interesting to see what comes of this. Probably some deal regarding support for Ukraine/Iran. edit: Appears to be John Ratcliffe CIA Director.- randoM videO gamE neWs...

Lanterns. First episode feels a buddy cop formula, but it's good enough to give it a shot.- What have you done lately?

Saw The Odyssey. It's a good movie, I would put it on par with the Oppenheimer, but there is definitely a downward trend with Nolans movies, for me at least. I wouldn't compare either of those with Inception, Interstellar, or even his Batman movies. The music in The Odyssey is definitely the weakest from all his movies so far. I don't know if he has started to sniff his own farts or maybe his brother is missing from the formula, but there is definitely something missing from his recent movies. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing in particular against his rendition of the The Odyssey, apart from the already memed scenes, but for someone of his caliber I wasn't wowed. I loved the practical effect, even more so when I know how he did them, but it just wasn't enough to take it to that level where I was wowed. Maybe I am at fault for expecting him to one up himself, or maybe it's not an original story, whatever it is I somehow doubt he will change anything going forward. - Youtube recommendations, let's beat the algorithm
