The Golden Leo, struck first on the 19th July, sinks off Odesa after renewed Russian attack. Grain carrier.

@DreHarrison101 Aston Martin upgrades: car

That's basically a new car at this point! "We've changed the handle and the broom!"

@finalgirlsonia *sigh* what the fuck are they even making anymore

WE’RE NOT MAKING IT OUT OF THIS GAME

In looking at the details of the Xenomorph from Alien Earth - something that I think has been lost in the translation of the Alien from Gigers initial work really is the MECHANICAL part of the BioMECHANICAL design. The Big Chap was so integrated with the 'mechanical' feel that he could have been mistaken for a piece of equipment on the ship - and often was hiding in plain site. The newer Xenos are just biological organisms. I love the idea of the Alien not only taking on its hosts genetic footprint, but also altering its appearance from its ENVIRONMENT. The reason the Xeno was BioMechanical was that it was born on a mechanical spaceship... its appearance altered to blend into its surroundings. I think it was the ALIENS Xeno that made them very organic, because the suits they made were for action sequences - spandex and rubber is easier to mold into organic shapes. And they other Alien designs have just sort of leaned into that. But a true BioMechanical Alien would be amazing.

@SomeGothGirl It's one of the best Missions in the game wdym No, I am completely serious

I didn't specify but I've specifically been playing the Gold edition and I gotta say, whoever designed that Thieves' Guild mission is a fucking dumbass, fuck this level

One of the projects we fulfilled a year ago. The equipment is working every day and building drone safety nets. Finding these augers with cranes, fixing them and delivering was extremely challenging. These are very expensive and the same super hard to repair and get into running state.

@lightspeed102 @CleanUpNick @mascotmassacre What good is there from a technically highlighy advanced AI if it simply doesn't work with the space it was given, or, alternatively, works far too well against the player?

@lightspeed102 @CleanUpNick @mascotmassacre They should focus on hiring level designers equally as much, if not more as well then. Big part of why Alien, and really any celebrated enemy AI turned out so well is because the spaces they inhabit are well designed for their purposes, and goals of the experience

🚨 Mob Entertainment is hiring a Senior AI Game Designer to create different types of enemy AI for horror. The goal is to make encounters interesting, challenging, and clever through systemic combat and narrative driven behavior.

NEWS: Zelenskyy replaces top Ukraine general in biggest military shake-up since 2024 President chooses 43-year-old Mykhailo Drapatyi to replace Oleksandr Syrsky in generational shift in Ukraine’s military leadership ft.com/content/500286…

Several of his brigade commanders praised his approach when he was OSUV Dnipro and Joint Forces Task Force commander. Instead of simply giving orders, he listened to their opinions, welcomed feedback, and asked them how he could support them. A common criticism from brigades throughout the war is that the General Staff doesn't properly support the units holding the front line or a sense that the General Staff doesn't have a full understanding of the situation on the battlefield, and gives orders with poor situational awareness. I suspect among the first things he will do is to ask Task Force commanders what they need, and ensure the General Staff supports them properly. I suspect this will have an immediate positive effect. 3/

As Land Forces commander, Drapatyi began to institute a series of reforms to improve the culture, including officers taking responsibility. Notably, after multiple Russian missile strikes on training areas, he submitted his resignation and took personal responsibility for the problem instead of deflecting. He set the example for his subordinates. 2/ t.me/Drapatyi_KSV/34

Drapatyi is an excellent choice. As OTU Kharkiv and Luhansk, OSUV Khortytsia/Dnipro, and Joint Forces Task Force commander over the past two years, he brings a wealth of experience commanding units on most of the front line with a good understanding of the character of the fighting. As Land Forces commander, he also has recent experience in mobilization/training issues. Both are critical as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.

“After Andrii Yermak resigned as head of the President's Office, Fedorov was among the leading contenders for the post. But Zelenskyy did not dare appoint him – Fedorov's reform ideas were too radical. Rebooting the State Bureau of Investigation, introducing a competitive selection process for the prosecutor general, replacing all the deputies in the President's Office – those were just a few of the sweeping changes he was proposing. Instead, Fedorov was sent to the Ministry of Defence, as he was the only person who "had a vision of the war". Zelenskyy believed Fedorov would act with greater caution and restraint at the Defence Ministry. It turned out he had no intention of doing so. Mass purges of personnel, shifting procurement to open tenders, a strict audit of defence contracts, a reluctance to automatically approve all General Staff requests, attempts to move military planning to automated algorithms and mathematical models instead of traditional "manual control" – all of this quickly turned the Ministry of Defence into a hotbed of conflict within the military-political leadership.” pravda.com.ua/eng/articles/2…

I'm running out of words. Almost every day, russians proudly post videos of their war crimes, and the world keeps allowing it. Kherson. Again. The perpetrators filmed their own war crime. Human beings are being hunted like animals, and nobody cares.

Ukrainian forces carried out a cruise missile attack on Russia's Lipetsk overnight, hitting a factory and setting it ablaze.

SCOOP: Zelenskyy proposed over the weekend to bring back Mykhailo Fedorov with an expanded mandate, according to people familiar with the matter, days after Fedorov’s removal sparked an uproar. A senior Ukrainian official and two other people familiar said that Fedorov wanted only to return to the defence ministry. ft.com/content/51dad5…

That is incorrect. Most ballistic missile targets are selected days, and sometimes weeks, in advance. While sometimes Russian can launch a few missiles in a rapid retaliatory strike within a day, attacks on this massive scale are typically planned and prepared over days or weeks

У Верховній Раді канікули, обороні міністерства без очільників, бо шукають без рейтингових валянків, а Росія готується до загальної мобілізації. Зараз кожен день важливий, бо треба готуватись до того, що після загальної мобілізації у Росії піхоти стане в рази більше і вони будуть знову атакувати. Але де там та підготовка… В Києві тривають «політичні консультації» та бесіди, і прорахунки кандидатів і їх рейтингів.
