  1. I completed Sons of Forest after about 55 hours, it was an excellent survival game with somethings better than Forest 1 and some things worse What was worse than 1 is I found myself not having to build a single house or structure to survive, I just used the tent And then I love and appreciate no hand holding and having to explore to progress the narrative but this game forced me to consult game guides about what caves you suppose to explore first to find critical items like the spade, I find it almost impossible to believe that anyone can finish this game without dozens of hours of exploring just to work out what to do next? Its too "hard" around trying to work out where you suppose to go next Once you find laptops then its obvious where you must go but finding items like the pick axe and then the ancient armour werent clear to me and I randomly found them. Maybe I missed some papers or documents? But good game overall and it gets a 70/100 on the globally respected " BruceVC game rating system " and if you want an incredibly difficult survival game to play, without getting tips, this is for you
  2. Its sounds very effective and if you noticing a difference thats all that matters
  3. Nice, great news. What exercising are you doing? I have changed my cardio routine from a brisk walk to jogging, I hadnt jogged for 4 years so I started slow and didnt want to push myself but after 5 days I can do my whole route without stopping Its amazing how quickly you can get back into fitness but I was walking fit but its not the same as jogging fit. I run through the CBD and then a park and I love the route and early morning activity Its about 4.5 km and I will expand the distance the fitter I get and I have been jogging for about 21 days
  4. Yes but this was always the reason for the Israelis attack, it was legitimate people actively involved in planning attacks on Israel that they targeted but you still cant attack an embassy
  5. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/house-vote-foreign-aid-bills-ukraine-israel/story?id=109429499 The US Congress through the House has approved the military aid to Ukraine with 311 votes for the aid and 112 against They also voted for aid to Israel and Taiwan Marjorie Taylor Green is outraged and her and other GOP members will definitely call for a vote to remove Johnson But he should survive this with help from the Dems, I like Johnson. He seems to understand the importance of compromise and bipartisanship so that Congress can function
  6. Okay fair enough Its a bad example and anyway it was 30 years ago and my view is embassies should never be targeted I remember during the Cold War and US or Soviet spies or citizens just had to make it to the embassy and they were safe. And thats how it should be But not all countries respect that, Ecuador recently raised the Mexican embassy to find a suspect https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/why-did-ecuador-raid-mexicos-quito-embassy-2024-04-06/ And there justification was " Ecuador, which requested Mexico's permission to enter the embassy at the start of March to detain Glas, contends the asylum offer was illegal, because under international law, people facing charges should not be granted asylum " Serious irony there considering how Assange was allowed to hide in the embassy in UK for years?
  7. Here is an exception to my rule, its an upcoming Vampire themed cRPG porn game called Vampire Syndicate. The developer is active on Codex and he is a really nice guy, very friendly and I sort of committed to buying this game when its released. I dont have to buy it but I dont like to say things and not mean it and its an indie game and his revenue is tight So Im going to buy it on principle, you and others might also enjoy it ( NSFW website ) because its going to have RPG elements and lots of Vampire Lore similar to the Vampire Masquerade Universe with clans and all that https://amemoryofeternity.itch.io/vampire-syndicate-gangs-of-moonfall
  8. https://www.politico.eu/article/robert-habeck-wants-germany-to-rebuild-ukraine/ Interesting story about Germany helping to rebuild Ukraine Some people might be cynical about this but obviously reconstruction projects have to go to someone so why not include Germany as one of those countries?
  9. My bad, it was the wrong link. That was another attack on US forces but Iranian proxies were responsible for US embassy attack and they acknowledged it , to quote your link " A pro-Iranian group calling itself the Islamic Jihad Organization took responsibility for the bombing in a telephone call to a news office immediately after the blast. The anonymous caller said, "This is part of the Iranian Revolution's campaign against imperialist targets throughout the world. We shall keep striking at any crusader presence in Lebanon, including the international forces."[8] The group had earlier taken responsibility for a grenade attack in which five U.S. members of the international peacekeeping force had been wounded.
  10. Its not that complicated to understand the sequence of events In summary Israel attacked an Iranian embassy in Syria : Iran is outraged Iran attacks Israel with missiles and drones : Israel is outraged Israel attacks Iran : Iran is outraged But all these are limited attacks in a reality of Iranian proxies attacking US interests and destabilizing the ME like the Houthis and the Red Sea terrorist attacks Also an attack on an embassy doesnt mean you " have to respond because its the same as an attack on the sovereign country " In 1983 the US embassy in Lebanon was attacked by Hezbollah\Iran and dozens of US citizens were killed and the US didnt attack Iran because of that. But saying that an attack on any embassy is unacceptable and embassies should always be off-limits https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_Beirut_barracks_bombing And the international arms trade is a legal business and every country in the world has the right to buy military equipment, I dont think there is a single country in the world that doesnt have some sort of military budget Its not the selling of weapons thats an issue, its what states and governments do with those weapons thats a problem
  11. https://missouriindependent.com/2024/04/17/u-s-house-gop-rolls-out-aid-for-ukraine-israel-votes-planned-on-tiktok-border-security/ I see the House will vote on Saturday on the Ukraine package and other aid I dont know if the aid was ever guaranteed because this type of funding always needs approval from Congress and the political vacillations of representatives can delay or change things And thats influenced by American citizens so very few things are " guaranteed " unless the US is actively involved in its own war But the whole inconsistent MAGA ideology was part of this delay and pushback at least for some of the GOP Anyway we still need the vote to happen so lets see how that goes
  12. Yes I agree but for me I have never played a porn game before, Romance in games is different to this and its part of expected party interaction if you on some epic quest to save the world. I always think of Conan and his interaction with women on various quests . Thats typically how I RP my character and its CG if you compare it to D&D alignment If I want to watch porn then I will watch legitimate adult movies, I wont use a game for that but I realize everyone has different interests
  13. https://apnews.com/article/ukraine-israel-house-republicans-3f6f6af81c860eb8ce4104e61728a0fb So it looks like US Congress is finally going to put the various aid packages to the floor for a vote and this includes the Ukraine $65 billion Johnson is not worried about threats to remove him because he will survive a vote of no-confidence with Democrats help
  14. Im have no problem with savescumming when its necessary because of bad design or because of laborious respawn mechanics that force you to repeat the last 1-2 hours Time is limited in this world
