@elfstone there are romantic lesbian stuff on those models' instagrams? (lily etc.)

There seems to be a shift in Ukraine's propaganda strategy. They are saying that the Russians are inflicting massive losses on them in combat (instead of the other way around).

military adviser "Arestovych estimated to Feygyn that the daily numbers for Ukrainian casualties were more like “200 to 300 die, no less,” but that the figures fluctuate." https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/06/11/russia-ukraine-war-putin-news-live-updates/#link-OZ7NMZ6OKNBQBNFIO4QEO7C5SQ another increase lol. minimum 1800-1000 Ukrainian casualties a day. minimum 54,000-30,000 per month. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oleksiy_Arestovych

Just watched the Fyke island quest. This one is great, I can see it being a good 1st episode of a Witcher HBO show (in an alternate timeline, sigh)

I am doing the Keira arc in W3. There are tons of references to the novels here. Also all the books found in the game are heavily inspired by the details in the novels. I think novel/game fans would have had their minds blown when they met Ciri for the first time. However the character jump for Avallach is a bit too abrupt. They would have questioned that. But CDPR tries to ease it in with their writing. Keira was a very minor character in the novels and her actions here mirror what was in that, except for a few points 1. they aged her up, as the game takes place around a decade later. 2. They made her more conniving, and like the author's view on what a sorceress is like. I think they aimed to make Keira a likeable but deeply flawed woman. One that can become a better person as she is helpful and can change her mind about things. In the novels, she and Triss are the "weaker links" of the lodge with Triss being the weakest link. They are the youngest ones. Also the ones that don't completely fit in and get condescended to by higher status members of the Lodge. 3. her face design is rather interesting. It is a face of young british mommy approx. age 30. Like one of those girls that you can kind of see as a future stereotypical mom with 2-3 children. So this face, and the charming voice attached to it is rather disarming. Then, in contrast to her superficial appearance, she is actually very selfish and opportunistic, and conceals a great many things to her advantage.

I am about 2/3rds through the novel and can see the film count of monte cristo (2002) in a new light. Approx. half of the film is moderately based on Act 1 of the book. However the second half of the film is almost completely unrelated to the sequence of events and characters in the novel. I think the film is great but it is barely like the novel. However the film had good casting. In particular Edmund Dantes and Mercedes are perfect and I listen to the audiobook with the actors in mind. It would have been cool if a high quality show was made to adapt the novel and starring most of the same actors. A 2 hr film doesn't do the profound book justice.

wow,the netflix CDPR anime. almost forgot about it!

haven't heard of any news except it is supposed to be about the "school of the lynx" and that Geralt's story is finished. There is no such thing in the novels so I have no idea what's going to be in the game. Have you played W1 and W2 ? I seem to remember you saying that you played W2 and tried W1 but found it too outdated.

The first letter and the first meeting with Yennefer requires playing the Witcher 2 to understand the nuances. Yennefer refers to Geralt as "friend" and this references a situation in the novels. It also requires reading the novels to fully understand Yen's later reactions. The meeting with Emperor Emhir is altered as well. The general's questions are all related to the Witcher 2, and Geralt's answers to them will effect relationships later on in the story. Also Geralt's great contempt for Emhir and the "black ones" hits very differently if one has read all the books.

I saw Noel Berry's leaks. She is physically amazing 1

Doug Cockle reveals in his video that CDPR advised him to base Geralt on Clint Eastwood. So much makes sense now..

you have a can of gas duster right? My old method was just to open the side of desktop and put a fan backwards (ghetto method) but it seemed to work. Then dust it periodically However it exposes the components to more dust than usual and isn't the best thing to do. you sound like someone who builds his own PCs - is that right?

The daily losses admitted by the Ukrainian leadership just doubled. So their minimum daily losses are approx. 1,200-500 KIA/MIA/WIA Minimum monthly losses are 36,000-15,000 plus. obviously they say this because they want more aid and weapons. So when will their claimed losses double again?? 100 to 200 Ukrainian troops die every day in war - President's Office - BBC News Ukraine

I'd probably like her before her nosejob. This happens to me all the time.

I am back in Velen as a "new man". This time with all the background knowledge. w3 is a masterpiece. My body is ready! fans of the novels/games must have been knocked out when they saw Yennefer for the first time.

i was more focused on her butt!

I've never installed the cooling system in a desktop. was it easy/safe for you? I was always afraid of screwing something up so I never did it.

this laptop fan is excellent. It actually makes the laptop turn from warm to cold!
