Wagner mercenary chief calls for armed rebellion against Russian military leadership by GiantSalt95 in worldnews

[–]grio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hugging part might be real.

These guards didn't hug to show support, they hugged to pretend to be friendly and save their own lives. There isn't anything a few lightly armed guards could do against an army.

The chance of that is non zero, but it's more likely the opposite - infighting, is happening.

If civil war happens, it will take a long time for it to get to central Asia. I think you will be safe from both sides for a long while, and that conflict might never reach you at all.

If there are local disturbances as russia starts splitting into parts, that would be another story.

I really miss big dungeons with multiple floors and zero objectives. by Altnob in Diablo

[–]grio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Screw objectives altogether.

Give us a lot of different monsters and a lot of good exciting loot reinforcing variety of countless strong build options.

That's it.

Tacking on artificial "objectives" where you do the same thing as in Diablo 2 but "in a certain order" limits play options and makes it a chore. This is why people hate Lost Ark, and this is one of the reasons why people will dislike Diablo 4.

Nobody likes to struggle under constant feeling of defeat. Add daily threat of death, and these feelings escalate tenfold.

Russians have been living in a state of suppressed terror for months now while both their invasion and their whole country goes to shit.

It's not surprising blaming games have already started, and soon escalated to infighting. This has happened countless times in history and it's happening now.

Realising you're a loser is poison to people with overinflated egos.

Too much noise for that with too little potential gain for russians.

Ukrainians have real time surveillance of the front lines and would figure out if something's off.

At most, this could be a russian ruse to give hope of quick victory to ordinary ukrainian soldiers, which would later prove false and increase war fatigue. But again, too much noise for that.

I think this is real to some extent.

Good.

The more they fight their own people, the less they can fight in Ukraine.

Is Conor's lack of leadership affecting his fighters' morale? All of his four fighters lost to Chandlers' fighters. by MosquitoAlvorada in ufc

[–]grio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like a typical drug addict. Talks big promises, deliver nothing, can't control emotions, can't focus on anything except the next dose.

An ugly, tired, bloated with steroids and substance POS. Time for this idiot to fade into obscurity.

More Than 30,000 Former Prisoners Have Returned To Russia From The War Zone In Ukraine by KazMux in worldnews

"If you thought living in russia was bad before, here are your THIRTY THOUSAND psychotic murderers and rapists to walk freely amongst you!"

This is an equivalent of spilling sewage straight into drinking water storage. What could go wrong?

Activists say the human rights movement is failing by lucerousb in worldnews

[–]grio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of these "rights" are just a different kind of oppression of majority by the minority with global censorship and abuse of soft-power, which is the opposite of what human rights are supposed to achieve. No surprise there's a pushback.

People want to live better. Any movement that hurts them will fail, no matter how they twist reality in attempt to achieve their goals.

So I loved this game but...WTF was that ending [Spoilers abound] by JackalopeKnight in Diablo

Diablo 4 writing is awful similar to the level of Diablo 3. Ignore it and it goes away.

Beaten and tortured to death for not willing to kill innocents. What a fucking country.

Intel to invest $4.6 bln in new chip plant in Poland by borgore01 in worldnews

Oh wow, that's GIGANTIC news. Moving production to developed countries instead of 3rd world should increase both production quality and economic prospects of both Poland and Intel.

Canada Population Expected to hit 40 million today by Logisch in worldnews

Baby? 60% of this "growth" are immigrants.

So it's most likely they would prefer Tofu or Khichdi.

That looked so easy and controlled. But in slow motion you can see how feet position carried him into a position so upfront that the other guy had to either clinch him, or get knocked out.

PC Gamer: Diablo 4 is desperate to not be Diablo 3, but too timid to move past it by Tifntirjeheusjfn in Diablo

[–]grio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Diablo 4 has some decent visuals and sound, but that only keeps you interested for a day or two.

It has no "game" in it. It's like a technical demo. You start playing and you see there's no thought beneath, there's no attraction, there's no fun. It's just "there", like an underseasoned steak. You chew and feel nothing.

Should I buy Street Fighter 6 or Diablo 4? by JoeisaBro in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]grio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What? No. Diablo 4 is a decent looking paperweight compared to established ARPGs. Even Last Epoch has more depth than Diablo 4.

I think in 2-3 weeks everyone will run out of content, become bored and move on.
