@AzdeusIf you are up for some recommendations, mine would be Redline.

What are you Playing Now? Whatever happens, at least we're out of that mudhole, Gilded Vale.
I liked all of them. Each had something new and fresh, but all of them suffer from the same end game issues, ie. boring endgame.

Drifting Home is a hard recommend from me. Best Netflix anime bar none.

Cobra Kai was such wasted potential. They either changed creative lead or they simply never knew what they had.

Finished Primal s2. This season really felt like a mix of the original and new Samurai Jack with a seasoning of Conan the Barbarian. Overall I would say it's good, but it felt like they were in a hurry to tell the story they had. Which leaves me wondering if there will be a season 3 or if they will leave it at that. I was not feeling season 1. May eventually give it another go.

Primal season 2 takes a turn in the direction of the series. Not sure quite sure if I like the direction. Now you got me interested in giving it a go...

I was under the impression Mandarin is a harder language to learn, from what I heard at least.

All I know is that if I had to learn one, it would be Korean. Seems really easy.- Anime and Manga - I won’t allow your bones to stay on this planet. I will banish your evil soul.
So what you are saying is that Japanese is basically just island Chinese.- Random video game news... may the dice be with you!
Played a lot of sins, but its end game was very very boring. Hope they figure it out for the sequel.- Random video game news... may the dice be with you!
So much hype for this game.- The TV and Streaming Thread: Summer Reruns

Feeds on children's blood from what I heard.- Ukraine Conflict - "There is no instance of a nation benefitting from prolonged warfare"
In that scenario I think they will become a NATO country (not even part of the EU) and will get a few NATO bases on the east front. Oh I 100% agree that will happen, I even said as much. I just do not know of how much help that will be for them. In the practical sense I don't think so, they will just exchange the boot for a leash. I mean yeah, the doors of capitalism and democracy will be opened to them, but I very much doubt that their corruption and mentality is going to change. (See Bulgaria and Croatia) One big question in case of an Ukrainian victory is what is going to happen to the Russian populace. I image it's going to be another ethnic cleansing like it happened in Croatia with the Serbian population, only that it will spill over to the surrounding states. Also what would happen to Kaliningrad. When it starts affecting their everyday lives, they will not care about political parties, only about the solution. People in the west are too used to comfort. @Elerond https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-09-08/most-accurate-us-artillery-shell-is-quietly-added-to-ukraine-aid To your point regarding only sending old weapons.- Obituary thread

Ok, but if Ukraine wins then one would assume the total collapse of the Russian federation and as such there is no more versus Russia. Again if you are saying "aid", that to me just sounds as people are going to be on their own. Again, what you guys are saying doesn't sound like much help to the regular folks. I don't mean this as an insult, so please don't take it as such, but I think you guys are coming from a place of ignorance. I will give you an example that I think is pretty similar to what is happening in Ukraine. Kosovo is a definition of a vassal state, they "fought" against Serbia and "won", they also worship the ground the US walks on (Clinton has a statue there). Nowadays the standard of living is probably worse then when Kosovo and Metohija was under Serbian administration. They get no help to improve their standard of living, the only help they get is military and even that is pitiful. EDIT: They are also such a small territory, that giving them help would be such a small effort. It would also help bring the Serbian populace in to the fold, but they don't care. I can think of a few more examples, but they don't exactly translate well. Point being that I know of a lot of vassal states (to varying degrees) and I am not impressed with the rewards they got. Do you think the regular citizen who reads the news and sees "10 Billion package of aid on it's way to Ukraine" is going to make that connection when the lights start flickering? He is addressing my comment regarding current help being stopped. I think 😄 - Anime and Manga - I won’t allow your bones to stay on this planet. I will banish your evil soul.
