Re-reading the terror - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3974.The_Terror

This is a comfort read.

And also reading gridlinked - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/98046.Gridlinked

I've heard good stuff about the polity series. Looking forward to seeing the jain nodes in action.

It's like learning a loved one is sick again.

It's like working on a nintedo fan game, only announce it once you're done.

Killing innocent people will help save gay people. Dramatic logic.

There was definite political will behind those operations and at least tacit support from the western powers at the time. (But only for those nazis which they felt weren't useful to them).

I don't really see the same being possible with any country in the future. If there was any political will to do so, they already would have put pressure on them. And as far as I can tell, there's very little actual pressure on them.

So this isn't happening, unless the Palestinians are able to form a government of their own and get support from a major superpower with which their interests align.

Dunno but irradiating area seems like a problem to me as well.

Don't you know it's anti-semtic to call out Israelis justifying horrific acts because they can?

I thought I was the same, but I quite enjoyed hades. Though it's not a traditional roguelike.

It has a good mix of mindless fun that doesn't punish you when you lose and don't make progress. The story does heavy duty in making sure each run, no matter how successful it is, is fun/interesting.

I guess I still don't like rogue likes that much but I do like hades.
