Posts I've Made

  1. In Topic: The Russia Politics and War in Ukraine Thread

    Yesterday, 10:39 PM

    there's a single report that the current counter-strikes in Pokrovs'k are there to cover the pull out of the battered garrisons of the Myrnohrad-Pokrovs'k pocket.

    And multiple statements saying UAF's committed to try to hold it. Guessing things will become clearer soon.


    Meanwhile UralVagonZavod (the major tank and railway car producer in Muscovy) intends to cut 10% of its staff by february.

    LukOil's Volgograd refinery halted operations after yesterday's kinetic sanctions.

    3rd largest geothermal power plant in muscovy, Kostroma GRES, was hit last night. Not knocked off the grid, though. Several substations were hit as well.


    Dobropillya salient's getting rolled up, Deep State showing only a small pocket of orc control remaining b/w Shakhove and Nove Shakhove. But this won't amount to much, unless AAF can push S along the Kazenny Torets, which would provide clearer supply line to Myrnohrad, the approaches to which are still clear, unlike Pokrovs'k.

    Zelensky saying there's only like 60 orcs spread out through the northern quarter of Kup'yans'k is... concerning.

    Unless we see some drastic map reversals in the next few days, that'll be a very blatant false statement.

    I'd like nothing more than to be wrong on this, but don't have a good feeling on it.

  3. In Topic: The game I'm playing is...

    03 November 2025 - 12:36 AM

    Nine Sols has an easy mode if you use the talisman that explodes on its own after a while, without holding down the button. Then it becomes a medium-hard rhythm game.

    As soon as I unlocked that, I switched to it, and never looked back.

    Some really fun bosses in it.

    And yeah, the overall story is really messed up, once you get all of it.

    I don't say this lightly but Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is one of the greatest games I've ever played.

    The story, the music, the combat and gameplay mechanics, I am just totally blown away. It's one of those games that everyone should play and if you cannot play it, watch a playthrough of it.

    It'll be a tragedy if it doesn't win GOTY though I think Hades 2 could have something to say about that.



    Hell is Us is GOTY for 2025 when it comes to non-AAA games, sorry.

    (I kid, it's gonna be Silksong, b/c game journalists are as addicted to the hype as anyone else, and we'll both be disappointed).






    Is Hell is Us that good? I wasn't familiar with it until you mentioned it there. I'll take a look into it.


    As soon as I saw all the praise for Silksong I did have a similar thought to you that it'll win.


    Combat is meh, atmosphere and setting is bleak AF (it's a civil war inspired by the Yugoslav wars and Rwanda), and the overall story is.... bland.

    But the worldbuilding and the layered history you gradually uncover is top notch; dungeons have some really good old-school vibes to them, and yes, you WILL have to take notes to solve everything. 100%ing it is not super-difficult (I had to look up like 2 things that I couldn't spot myself when exploring the levels pretty thoroughly), but it does require that through, exploratory mindset. It's a game that wants you to work at piecing things together, and if you're not into that, it's gonna suck; but if you are into those things, then yeah, they did a very good job at making that type of game.

    Unconfirmed report of a Ukrainian counter-offensive beginning on the Kupyansk front.


    given they've now stretched 15 km along the Oskil (from initial crossing point at Dvorichna to Kup'yans'k), and only pushed out 4.5 km from the river at most, this is a long-overdue decision.

    cutting this stretch would completely halt the offensive on the city.

    I hope you won't mind mate, but I copied and posted that "poem" thing you posted on the West Vs Russian interest thread.. You know, the one that starts off about how pathetic Europe is or has become.. Liked it so much that I had to post it. Keep up the good work on reporting about anything new.. Peace out to you friend..
