I don't dislike your answer. If Diablo 4 is a good game and something you enjoy, great, and I appreciate you letting me know it's chill. If the Microsoft takeover goes through and the sexual abusers are fired, I'd love to pick it up myself.
Its a legit MMO, so its got the grind, which works for me.

Not sure the video link will work but I saw this and thought I'd share.
The only person I'm worried about with nukes is honestly Putin. I don't think he cares if he lives or dies as long as he gets to feel like a tzar for a while.
I don't think the Wagner group will be much of a global threat if they take power. Because even if everyone stands down to let them kill Putin, the oligarchs won't give up power without a fight, so no matter who wins this, Russia's gonna lose enough equipment and trained soldiers in the process that they won't be able to invade anyone.
I think it's likely that Russia will balkanize. At which point they're no longer relevant and the real threat is that China might invade Siberia for their oil.

Last post by Arthfach - Jun 24, 2023, 02:43 PMI don't think a lot will happen. Even the most insane dictators realize that by using nukes, you ensure the destruction of basically everyone. The whole MAD principle and all.

Last post by Prophecy - Jun 24, 2023, 02:34 PMUkraine is using this to retake territory lost in 2014. Putin is fucked, but I'm curious what happens when Wagner takes control of Russian nukes.
