The United States set a red line and it got crossed. Takes a few years, but you can certainly trust the United States to follow through on promises. Once we've tried everything else.

We don't even know if a red line got crossed. We don't even know what happened to release the poison gas.

Until we know what actually happened military intervention over the issue is just insane.

Yay! Hero Academia is back! And will have an actual episode next week.

BOOOOOOOOO that it is a Tournament arc. (and believe me, I like tournament arcs)

Sometimes I feel like "Super Hero high" often focus too much on combat ability. Then again the whole entrance exam was based entirely on combat ability (well and a written test, but that was likely just to weed people out)

THEN AGAIN the last lesson of the first season was on Rescues in different situations... so it wasn't even about combat... And one of the top heroes is MOSTLY a noncombatant who focuses almost exclusively on disasters and emergency response.

So I think I am safe... the tournament might just be a sort of extra-curricular thing rather than a "This is how heroes shall be judged!"

Hero Academia was surprisingly good. I really like All Might as a character, doing everything he can to stay a symbol of peace while his powers fade.

Ugh, there were plenty of Trump supporters who said that Hillary would start a nuclear war over Syria.

Now we have Trump steering the USA into war with a nuclear armed North Korea.

I just knew that idiot would do something like this.

You can wrap a turd in gold, but it will still be a turd.

It is a coup that destroys any resemblance of democracy left in the country. It is the final point of no return. It is the destruction of the separation of power.

'No leads', it says, and then the article spends 75% of it talking about Dpeg's 'vision' and decrees on various stuff. I don't know if we're intended to read between the lines there.

The problem with Dpeg (and I'm attributing this primarily to him based on his comments on the forums, IRC, etc) is that he nerfs lots of alternative/niche styles under the guise of 'too easy' (when it seems to me he really means 'too many options'), while leaving the mainstream, big offenders of 'too easy' completely intact. From someone who's been playing Crawl since before Stone Soup was even a thing, I am looking forward to seeing someone else take over his current prominence in the dev team.

Agreed. This was my big problem with the direction DCSS went - a lot of interesting play styles got waved away as being too tedious/convoluted/whatever. There was a massive simplification that went on at one point which pushed it more towards 'coffee break RL', and I think it lost a lot of excitement and need for strategy.

I know I wasn't alone, and the community got increasingly toxic before I left. It's not gone bad or anything, I just think that it's lost a bit of it's charm by trying to simplify everything into being a sort of 'hack-n-slash RPG' instead of an RL.

Yeah somewhere along the way stuff was lost.

There were a lot of things that added FEAR to the game like item destruction, permanent corrosion and permanent drain that got removed. They were all replaced with mechanisms that just act as a force multiplier. Who cares about jellies or shadow dragons now if you can just whack em to death?

Item destruction was claimed to be tedious because people dropped all their stuff before engaging fire enemies, but I never did that so for me it only removed a source of fear.

And I thought the entire point of corrosion was that you had to put on an expendable set of gear.

This is the beginning of the end.

Remember when I said this? Yeah. It's not going to take four years I think. My prediction is that significant, dare I say damning, evidence that Trump used Russia to get elected will surface from Flynn. Trump will probably get impeached and possibly tried for any number of old timey word crimes. Sedition, collusion, whatever fits the bill best. Just my inexpert opinion.

Trump getting impeached means the Mike Pence becomes president....

I think Pence is actually a worse human being than Trump.

It also can happen with caseless ammunition. It's one of the main reasons caseless ammunition isn't used much.

Caseless ammunition also causes guns to heat up faster, since cases function as a heat sink.
