First 2 allied victories in the war, against a vastly superior opponent.

So we play as Serbia, or do we play sitting in trenches?

I would be interested to see the numbers on how much this war cost the West in dollar value and how much it cost Russia. Seeing how much bang for their buck each side got.

What is so stunning regarding that? We were under Ottoman occupation for 500 years prior.

Finished Children of Time and now on to Children of Ruin. Very much recommended if you like the Foundation Empire and zoology.

Your school was that far away?

I was a kid when I played this, I don't think I ever understood the games mechanics anywhere near enough. I pretty much learned it by trial and error, pushing buttons until I figured what each did. Although looking at this I think I went overkill with police and firehouses.

@Malcador Happy birthday!

Dota book 3. More of the same with the epic nob turned to 11. It got pretty convoluted, but I liked it overall.

Wasn't They are Billions a fairly good RTS that came out recently?

New chapter of Berserk. Such a big nothing burger...well not nothing, but a disappointing chapter either way.

I couldn't taste and smell anything, but it luckily lasted only a couple of days. Such a strange feeling, like having something stuck in your sinuses.

Maybe better for the funny thread now that I think about it.

They are also having cases of sabotage, so it could be that too.

I remembered a fairly old video from my childhood. Haven't seen any of the newer iterations.
