I don't know but I will go with this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tP8VPkWXOfU (Wagner's Mutiny - what it means for Putin's Russia (and Coups 101) Perun)

I am not sure coup is the right word either because it didn't seem to me they had a plan on overthrowing Putin. While RF may have had trouble stopping Wagner's advance, what could Wagner actually do if they made it to Moscow?

While they may be mercenaries they are paid and directed by RF, so I think mutiny is probably more accurate even if not technically correct.

Maybe in some cases for some things but overall I would say no In my experience. I've been to India 5+ times and spent a lot of time with locals. The healthcare situation for many in general is really bad. As my friend said to me, "If we get something serious there is no hospital for us, it's direct to graveyard." They get sick, they suffer, they are not superhuman immune-wise at all. The better I got to know one particular group the more I discovered that most if not all of them had an untreated medical situation that they just lived with "I have some problems in my body." This was 10 and longer years ago so perhaps things are a bit better for some in some areas now.

Or on occasion, the Supreme Court decides that Fla votes R for them.

I am surprised no mention of Mint yet. As far as beginner-friendly Linux desktop Mint is one of the better ones and it is just very nice overall. To be fair I have not used it for gaming but I would not think there would be any more issues with that than any Linux distro.

Crawl issues I am sure but also user experience issues. Google is sensitive to sending visitors to sites where metrics indicate users do not, like bounce rates etc. I don't use twt but if it is the case you have the be logged in to see anything now, a non-logged in user will click a link from Google hit a login page, and use the back button. I would assume Google will see that as a bad search result and use it less.

I've played D1 and D2 in the early days and loved them. I am not sure they'd hold up today. I looked at D2R and while it hits the nostalgia part hard, I just could not get excited to actually play it. If you are really interested to know what it was like and it would mean something to you to play it, I'd say it could be worth it. My best Diablo experiences were unquestionably with D2.

I got into D3 very late and while I enjoyed my time with it, it didn't hook me. I feel like I got my money's worth for the time I spent with it but it didn't hold up for me very well.

From my point of view, I think picking up D4 would be money better spent for what it is already and will likely become over time. D4 is pretty decent and while I have to admit I am a little bored with it it does seem to have a lot of potential. I did feel a bit bad about giving the company my money but I could not resist.

Surprise Rs have no principles.

Fear and an unwillingness to try new things.

For example, some of the complaints that people had about Mastodon early on were just odd to me. They made such a big deal out of "you have to pick a server, no one understands that" or nitpicking UI interfaces between Mastodon and twt. They didn't have logical arguments IMHO it was them just not being happy about change and not being honest about that.

Deleted my account during the AMA. Reddit is dead to me.

I agree with you on Asheron's Call. I can't say it was my top pick but I played it quite a bit and thought it was quite an interesting one. I belonged to a guild of some sort. My roommate got hooked on it too and so the social aspect of it really made it for me.

I go way back to the early days. I played some of the Ultima series on a friend's computer, Atari 2600 stuff, C=64 etc. Zork and some of the infocom games. First PC game I played I guess was one I typed in on my Atari 400 and saved to casettte.

The first game I played till the sun rose was Populous. 1989. IIRC I had a 286-16.

After that, my great love affair was Ultima Online, which I played on the Baja shard from just around beta. I got a little taste of the dread lord days and into the rep system etc. I lived for that game. Moved on to EverQuest and WoW which both never really captured me as UO did. Spent some time with Ashron's call.

I'd have to give an honorable mention to Total Annihilation and Warcraft and I am sure many others I can't recall.
