Russian bots were busy today. Over 40 signups when I woke up, dozens more throughout the day. They ebb and flow with the times.
Corona is quite annoying. Very mild cough, sinuses clear, but still kind of tired and cannot taste much of anything, except a faint hint of sweet things in the back of my tongue.
Hope you all are doing well, in this fun start to the new year.

Glad to hear it. How's the energy situation? We're having a thankfully mild winter so far, power bill is "only" $100 more than last year.

some places are worse then others, at least one city has to turn off some street lights to get the budget work this year in my country.

Higher heating and electricity prices now in Germany, luckily for me I am financially in good shape. Still annoying, especially since a lot of those price hikes seem to be cash grabs by the providers.

"Yarrick Is Back! Old Bale Eye and Other Legends Return as Made to Order"
Old Bale Eye still has some traitors and orks to kill before he joins the Emperor's side.
Though is that for the purposes of the game or for the lore? Creed for example in the lore is currently in Trazyn's museum, but he can still be played on the tabletop.

Better than people freezing. Do you guys have solar panels on your lightpoles? Started seeing them very often here, but they're not on every pole, or even every important one, which is weird.

Guess the Russian gamble didn't pay off
But yeah, certain products here are through the roof, dozens of times ahead of inflation, and either the supply chain is doing some weird cascade effect or producers are milking what little slack exists in the American budget. I straight up have zero idea how any "normal" person making average wages is getting by anymore.

I promised myself I wouldn't cry...
But yeah, clearly the game. Yarrick's adopted daughter will soon be introduced to take over, you see. Heh. Did reread the wiki on the Second War of Armageddon, what a lad he was. Could've sworn it used to go more into detail about his defense of Hades Hive.

You're not imagining things. Both the standard 40k wiki and the Lexicanum used to be a lot more detailed. I don't remember exactly when that changed, or the reasons why, but I do remember pages worth of lore and quotes and sources that were once there are now gone.

"It’s been a while since we made the first cryptic announcement of a return to the Old World in 2019. Many of you have clamoured to know more and now it’s time for Rob Alderman of the Warhammer Studio to explore the gripping setting of Warhammer: The Old World in more detail than ever before. We’ve hinted at the unprecedented amount of work that has gone into this new game and its setting. In candlelit secrecy behind the great oaken portcullis doors of the Warhammer Studio, the Old World team has dedicated countless hours to research and playtesting. Our goal was to create a game that captures the best elements of all the editions of Warhammer Fantasy Battle, but at the same time providing new and exciting rules, and fresh challenges to overcome.
The Old World: One of the most important aspects of Warhammer: the Old World is the setting itself. Obviously, this is the World-that-Was, a world of legend destroyed by the machinations of the Ruinous Powers of Chaos at the culmination of the End Times – an event that doomed the denizens of the Old World to oblivion and heralded the birth of the Mortal Realms and the Age of Sigmar. It’s important to remember, though, that even though the setting is returning, these events still happened, and that the Old World was destroyed. The End Times had long been foreshadowed in the background of Warhammer Fantasy Battle.
The Great War Against Chaos: With the end of the world well documented, the design team wanted to explore the earlier history of the Old World in more depth, to examine events in the history of Warhammer in more detail than ever before. But which part of its long and storied history should they focus on? Go too far back in time – to the War of the Beard or the time of Sigmar for example – and the setting would have become unfamiliar. This led us to events well known to fans of the Old World, the Great War Against Chaos and the Siege of Praag, two centuries before the End Times. More precisely, we decided to look into the decades prior to this legendary world-changing event. In those years before the Chaos Lord Asavar Kull led his armies south against the nations of Men and Dwarfs, the Empire of Man was not the unified nation that bravely faced the armies of Archaon that players of Warhammer Fantasy Battle will remember. Instead, it was deeply divided and ravaged by war following long centuries without the unifying presence of a single Emperor.
Anarchy in the Empire: Following the death of the famed Emperor Mandred von Zelt, the Elector Counts were unable to decide upon a successor and, when the Countess of Talabecland and the Count of Stirland mobilised their armies to claim the imperial throne by force, the lands of the Empire fell into civil war. In the centuries that followed numerous claimants to the imperial throne emerged, deepening the divides between the provinces of the Empire and prolonging the civil war. Thus, at the time Warhammer: The Old World is set, in the years before the Siege of Praag, the Empire stands divided – riven by intrigue and beset by internecine war. Of the many provinces that once formed the Empire, four stand tall, their mighty rulers pressing their claim for the imperial throne and hoping to reunify the fractured realm.
The Barony of Westerland: Ruled by Elspeth Magritta VI, Westerland is a wealthy province, its merchant-lords grown fat on the trade that flows through Marienburg’s vast harbours.
The Grand County of Osterland: Ruled from the great city of Middenheim by Count Sigismund Ulric, Osterland is home to the Wolf Emperors of the north, fierce devotees of Ulric.
The Principality of Reikland: Occupying the heartland of Sigmar’s Empire, the Reikland is ruled by the pious Prince Wilhelm I of Altdorf, a devout servant of the Empire’s patron deity.
The Grand Duchy of Talabec: The largest and most culturally diverse of the four provinces, Talabec is ruled from the great walled city of Talabheim by Duke Ludwig XII.
In Warhammer: The Old World, we discover an Empire weakened by centuries of civil war, vulnerable to the ever-present threat posed by rampaging armies of invaders. Beastmen Brayherds surge from the deep forests, burning and defiling all that stands before them. From the moors and mountains come roving bands of Orcs and Goblins, looting and pillaging, while in distant and forgotten lands ancient kings sit upon crumbling thrones, planning the reconquest of the lands of the living. Yet beyond these present threats looms the spectre of something far greater – the armies of Asavar Kull amassing in the north. While we know that the Empire would ultimately unify under the leadership of the great Magnus the Pious and turn back the armies of Chaos, at what cost will this unity come? There are many stories to tell of the years before the Great War against Chaos, and the desperate ruination of the End Times. Truly, Warhammer: the Old World promises to reveal much about the world that was, in ways sure to captivate fans of the Old World old and young…"

Re: Tali'Thread vas Clan Zorah nar BSN 6.0
Started a new seed in Valheim, since Mistlands is out and any major bugs have presumably been fixed. A lot of the romance of fumbling and learning is gone, now that I know full well the flow of the game and what to do and roughly where to go, at least in the beginning. On the plus side, playing with a friend, got a nice home built, crafting stations, and got the early boar/carrot farming cycle started. Bronze weapons and armor, small stockpile of building mats, a boat, not too far off from looking for some swamps. The additional recipes are nice, as well as some minor system improvements, though I swear the greydwarf swamp rate is higher than it used to be. No idea what the Mistlands will entail, but given how horribly lethal every new biome is at first, should be fun when we eventually sail!
Ah, fair point. Heard Denmark was doing super well with wind farms in the local paper recently, weird as it was to hear of it there. I still vastly prefer nuclear, but since certain peoples have made them, comically, radioactive, anything useful and cheap is good.
Oh! Glad to know I'm not losing my mind just yet then. It did feel like a lot of articles were way more succinct. Might be related to Warhammer+ and copyright issues with dumping source material, maybe.

"Inflexion CEO Explains How Nightingale Differs From Dragon Age and Mass Effect; Former BioWare general manager and Inflexion Games CEO Aaryn Flynn explains how Nightingale's story differs from Mass Effect and Dragon Age."
"Nightingale is an upcoming shared-world survival game where players seek the titular city across various realms, and it is being developed by Inflexion Games, a studio with former BioWare leadership including Aaryn Flynn. Flynn was the BioWare general manager during the development of games such as Dragon Age 2, Mass Effect 3, and Dragon Age: Inquisition, with production and engineering credits on prior titles in each franchise. Because of this, it is only natural that former BioWare fans look to Nightingale and expect great things ahead of its early access release on PC early this year. That doesn't mean fans should expect the exact same thing, however, and Flynn recently discussed how it differs.
One thing, Flynn discusses, is the setting. Whereas Dragon Age was "sword-and-board fantasy" and Mass Effect is "high sci-fi," Nightingale is an alternate timeline game with magical influences on its world, settled into a Victorian Gaslamp setting. Victorian settings in video games are seemingly becoming more popular, which Flynn previously explained in a Game Rant interview as something tied to how relatable it is. Nightingale's Victorian setting is infused with magic, but at the core of it, it's still a simpler time with tons of mystery that fans can immediately recognize and relate to, but that is also foreign enough to be enticing.
Story-wise, however, fans can expect Nightingale's story to not be as "sophisticated" as Dragon Age or Mass Effect's, per Flynn. He explained that Nightingale is a giant sandbox designed for players to live out their own stories, with perhaps a good comparison being Minecraft or Sea of Thieves rather than BioWare games, and that's because of the storytelling difference. When it comes to BioWare games, Flynn explains that each game had a "well-written story that had branches but ultimately all ended up coming to the same conclusion. Maybe there's a few variations there, but broadly speaking you're all enjoying a similar story. Whereas [Nightingale] is meant to be a sandbox where players are going to engineer and create their own stories and ultimately cohabit."
The emphasis above should also be placed on "cohabit," as it is meant to be a cooperative adventure, a digital "place" for folks to come to, and has no PVP as a result. Combine this with Nightingale's antagonistic Fae enemies, generated worlds through realm cards, and a home that players must build up, and it's clear that Inflexion's game is nothing like Dragon Age or Mass Effect, which can only be a good thing."

We had/have this deep mine that runs underneath a mountain in the middle of nowhere, yet for some reason it had problems that made it unable to be used. I can't for the life of me remember what or why. But it seemed insane that _deep under a mountain in the middle of nowhere_ burying nuclear waste was this big issue that our scientists and government couldn't figure out. While Russia induced a nuclear meltdown decades ago, and managed to "mostly" seal it in with concrete and the bodies of braver men than the Soviets had in charge. Doesn't make any sense, but yeah. Free & clean > cheap and relatively clean > dirty and expensive.
Sounds like he's saying there ain't a story, and it's going to be _very much_ like Sea of Thieves. Which could still be fun, I suppose, but these days I buy games more for good narratives than anything else.
I figured the popularity of Victorian/steampunk aesthetics was because it looked nice and old but you didn't have to commit to the bit beyond a few colorful characters everyone can ignore. Which is about exactly how I imagine Tevinter will be in the new DA, vaguely pretty and Victorian, but also totally recognizable to modern sensibilities. I'm trying to think of any major production that has even attempted to do justice to a "period piece." Dishonored 2, maybe, kinda.

people are still scared of nuclear meltdowns even though every time it has ever happen in human history it is because of corruption and not punishing the people for not upholding the proper safety standards.

Archaon does have an impressive record for getting shit done, but I find his personality and motives to be boring. (Whereas his 40k counterpart is the opposite: Abaddon is a very fascinating character, but is constantly hamstrung in terms of decisive victories by the writing team) I’d actually like to see Be’lakor usurp Archaon for a while—it would be a nice mix-up for Chaos for a change, and they can always bring him back if need be.

I mean, the _only_ time it happened to a significant level required using an old, crappy reactor, pushing it too hard, having control rods tipped with _graphite_, purposefully shutting down safety measures, and still the actual damage done was "relatively" light. So yeah, any modern reactor should be safer than driving a mile down any road.
Granted, I don't know what the state of nuclear personnel is like either, but at the least, not having graphite tipped control rods is a big help.

My cynical instincts are telling me that they intentionally released the initial terms to piss everyone off, then backtracking it a bit sounds like they're totally listening to fans, but they also get to include some bad stuff because it'll be overlooked now.

Yeah, too late. They pissed off everyone in the RPG community. Let's see what Paizo makes of this moment with their ORC.

and should we continue to invest and research to improve nuclear reactors, they should only become better and better.

Ah, surprise work trip. Which is good, need the work, and the money. Bad because I'm still recoverin' from COVID, but hey. Annoying because the job itself, despite being in a $2.5m beach McMansion, is actually relatively tiny. Just takes a few hours for several days.
Your totally earnest comment is very true! A happy birthday, my friend, and to many more! Only a third of the way to the maximum!
But seriously, hope your day went well, your family treated you to a nice dinner, and you did something nice for yourself. I might be behind you in body, but in spirit, I've been an old man since I was young!
What I would hope coming from this is that the implicit trust in the stability of Wizards has been violated, so even if people forget/forgive, the general attitude shifts to Paizo's (potentially) better terms.
It's kind of hard to believe that in countries like the US, where public opinion is generally irrelevant, our leaders would listen to scared people on this one topic. Really makes you wonder.

it comes down to money, rich people would rather have normal people use gas, coal and oil because it is easier to make money on.
example germany pushed for the gas pipline here in europe so they could continue to run their economy as they have for a long time.

Re: Tali'Thread vas Clan Zorah nar BSN 6.0
Thanks for the Birthday wishes.
Been doing a couple things lately: 1) Playing Zelda ii Link's Adventure, 2) Learning Chopin's Prelude #11 in B major on piano and 3) Learning how to use my new Air-Fryer I got for Xmas.
1 and 2 are both kicking my ass and 3 is rather delightful.
