So, once again there is this Tomahawk drama…
Czech media report that the Pentagon approved delivery of Tomahawks to Ukraine but Trump said he will not sign it.
Few comments calling Trump Russian bootlicker, Russian agent, and some obscenities. But iDnes for some reason doesn’t attract these kinds of people. On other media pages the whole thread will be full of such comments…
I played Baldur’s Gate III for like a third time but this time I actually recorded most of my gameplay. You can watch it on my channel but if you want to avoid unnecessary spoilers, watch my playlist below for highlights…
I would not be lying if I said I am enjoying this game. My three year contract has been ended and I have time to play. But hopefully I will finish it soon as it is eating into my other projects. I must say I still barely know what I am doing over there but my next playthrough will be pro. I promise! When I actually finish it, I will return to this post and publish it. This is because below you will find my BGIII highlights playlist that doesn’t contain many spoilers.
Baldur’s Gate III is a really good game with a very interesting grand narrative that the player is not initially aware of and your choices in the game, beginning with the character creation in the beginning affect how you will play the various encounters along the way. You basically peel away the secrets of this game in every playthrough and slowly become familiar with the story and the mechanics. At least I have it this way.
In this game it pays to side with the good side, unfortunately I don’t think an evil playthrough offers good enough options, or I am not playing the game alright. I have seen that only less that 10% of the players achieved the evil achievements on Steam. I am actually thinking of doing the Dark Urge as it is called in the game, and this time I will do it good. I normally side with the good side but I give preference to certain evil creatures too. I am also not always benevolent.
This game is woke, I mean in the sense of black hobbits woke. Like choose your own body type and genitals woke. And every male character that you can recruit is gay. In my sorcerer playthrough, Gale and Emperor wanted to hump me. Also, all the fighters in this game doing the hacking and slashing are female. I can kind of understand Lae’zel the Githyanki, who hails from a matriarchy outside Toril (the planet on which Baldur’s gate is located. The Githyanki reproduce asexually by laying eggs. And only the matriarch decides which female will reproduce. I have read some futurist that suggested something similar for humans (will write about it on this blog later). Karlach reminds me of a butch lesbian from my work. The only male fighter you can recruit is Minsc the Rashemi later in the game.
But given the way D&D has been going, we can be glad Baldur’s Gate turned out the way it did. D&D system presents another problem. Larian found it a challenge to implement the rules. In the game you can only reach level twelve but the amount of experience you can get would probably achieve few further levels. Apparently the higher levels were rather hard to implement for Larian to keep the game balanced. And the level cap is therefore understandable. But Act III without progressing your characters felt kinda weird to be honest.
In my opinion, D&D (or rather WoC and Hasbro) has been living off hype created by Stranger Things and Baldur’s Gate III. Meanwhile they churn out virtue signalling solidarity with the Trans community. Like anyone cares at this point. Wanna be trans, be trans, why do we even need to know?
😆👌
Climate change is not going to wipe out humanity, he argued, and past efforts that strive for achieving zero carbon emissions have made real progress. But Gates said that past investments fighting climate change have been misplaced, and too much good money has been put into expensive and questionable efforts.
This whole climate change propaganda is intended to extract more revenue from you for your bankrupt country. 😆👌I just farted, released some methane gas into the atmosphere, I feel ashamed for fucking up the planet like this.

The above video shows the reaction of ordinary citizens in Ukraine to recruitment officers coming to their town. It shows that if the government becomes too oppressive, the ordinary people can bound together and render the government powerless. Of course, the government has means to pressure the people but if the resistance becomes to great, the government becomes powerless.
Irony of this is that while the aim is to damage Russia, the biggest beneficiary of this will be Murica’s biggest economic rival, China.
Murica also tried to pressure India into not buying Russian oil. And this people is why we need to use other means of trade than the dollar.
A Dana is flying towards you. Let her wait in the salon. I am afraid this Dana will not wait in the salon chief.
So, the Czechs are doing a crowd funding for a Flamingo Rocket, and decided to name the rocket after Dana Drábová, an ugly deranged old lesbian that died recently. Before she kicked the bucket she attended pro-Ukrainian demonstrations. But even before that she was licking the butt of Russians that worked on nuclear power plants here in Czechia. Hopefully Russia shoots down Dana.
Theo Francken said if Russia attacks NATO, Moscow will be wiped off the map. To which Dmitry Medvedev answered that Russia has Poseidon and Belgium will disappear…
Honestly, why don’t Moscow and Belgium just delete each other?
Study graphic design with AI tools. AI like Chat GPT produces quite cool pictures that can be used in your graphic displays. This is actually something AI manages quite well. Graphic design was always rather corrupt. I never understood how municipalities could pay horrendous sums to graphic studios for artistically lame designs. Now AI is generating that. You have to be better than the AI.

I was reading Saifedean Ammous’ The Bitcoin Standard and would like to make a note of a definition. The key property of a good that leads to it being adopted as money is salability.
Ammous mentions several goods that were historically used as money…
“…gold and silver, most notably, but also copper, seashells, large stones, salt, cattle, government paper, precious stones, and even alcohol and cigarettes in certain conditions.” (The Bitcoin Standard, pp 4)
Salability across scales, space, and time. Scale means that the good can be conveniently divided into smaller units, salability across space is concerned with how easily the good is carried, and salability over time is concerned with how well does the good act as a storage of value over time. And these of course then play into each other. Can the good be divided to make for smaller purchases? Does it require some other instrument of division like silver coins to a gold coin? Does it require a special storage, does it depreciate under the elements and finally is there a risk of inflation of the good?
So you don’t have to…
I couldn’t help myself and paid $60 for Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion Remastered, and for several weeks I played it. I did it out of nostalgia because I remember I played and even finished the OG Oblivion on X Box many years ago. So I wanted to recreate some of that experience.
But I became bored of this game in a while. The dungeons are pretty boring. You have to present something more handcrafted in the current year. Also, the bugs in this game made some of the quests unplayable. And so I dropped this game. Cannot say I can recommend this, it ain’t that bad but it does not meet the standards of contemporary RPGs. I am waiting for Skyblivion.
