Quickest way to stop massive Russian losses: TURN AROUND and march your happy asses to Moscow, and have a few words with the shit bags in power.

Fuck, even just every soldier going home would cripple any ability to punish them for being AWOL.

Is it original? Not even a little.

But that's why we have come to expect it at least once in any game with waterfalls.

Honestly, I'm cool with it being an explicitly empty chest. Like put a journal next to it of some guy who looted it and left a note taunting anyone who thinks such an obvious place to hide treasure would remain un-looted. (and then let me track them down and stab them a bit for the taunt)

So many options, and all it takes is putting a lil something something behind some water curtains.

If your game has 10,000 I expect to find something interesting behind at least one. And as long as there's one, I'm content.

And I will still check the other 9,9999 even after being told there's nothing else.

Vanilla pudding in mayo jars.

Blue sport drink in index bottles.

They might.

Personally I mean the entire country goes back to pre-1948 borders.

exasperated sigh LOOK they're MENTALLY 10,000 YEARS OLD but only THE BODY is 12 OKAY???? IT'S TOTALLY NOT WEIRD ~~MOM~~ GUYS!!!1!1one!

Former Christian here: it is a cult. Full stop. You are throwing your decisions around based on a belief that there's some magical perfect happy place we all get to go.

Starting from that alone means we have VASTLY different goals. So many Cultists believe no matter what they do they're still going to paradise so fuck whatever happens here.

The staunch angry denial without a hint of reflection on how religion has undeniably damaged the world is very telling about what OP is willing to accept. I recognized religion has failed the world even when I was still religious.

No, I don't know there's nothing after we die, but I DO know there are things HERE AND NOW that need more ACTUAL FUCKING WORK and your prayers are worth the toilet paper I'll print them on.

And I am so fucking tired of "well they aren't TRUE Christians because we don't get taught that" any of the many, many, many, many, TOO FUCKING MANY TIMES when Christians, ÉN MASSE , do shitty things. No TRUE scottsman... My brother in education, you cannot keep saying your religion is peaceful when it rather spectacularly and historically is extremely violent.

This is exactly the dumb shit take from y2k.

I Still hear people go on about how "it was supposed to be this big thing and then nothing happened! Smart people are so dumb!"

Yeah nothing happened because a lot of smart people worked very hard to fix the goddamn problem, you fucking shitwaffle.

Here? "You dum dums got so worked up thinking it would pass and then it didn't, so the freak out was for nothing!" yeah it didn't pass because a lot of Europeans got very upset about their governments trying to spy on them harder than ever.

I'm not European, so I can't say how people talked about it openly on the metro with random strangers, but online? People were vocal and pissed. A PROPER government (lol can we have some of that functioning democracy please) listens to its people. This was them listening to the people.

The people's reaction was appropriate, and necessary. And shouldn't be lessened just because "lol you guys got so propaganda'd and it was obviously never gonna happen and I knew cause I'm so smart" is quite the take on things.

.... They left?

And here I thought they just gave authoritarianism a nice coat of paint and called it "law enforcement"

Weird how "law enforcement" always seems to avoid the places where they might get something more than a papercut.

Almost like they're cowards...

Imagine going back in time and telling the signatories of the declaration of independence that politicians in 250 years would be calling a "No Kings" protest terrorists and that they hate America.

So which is it, a safety issue, or a "political ideology" issue?

And since when has a group of people existing been a "political ideology"?

With every attack and infiltration, the rest of the world slowly dons more and more clown makeup.
