That one doesn't make any sense, 'cause the word "terrorist" has a certain meaning.
Now you sound like the rat :LOL:
And don't forget, CTPAX still lives in Russia and pays taxes which goes to the army needs, which in turn indeed attacking my country for no reason at all (the original "reasons" were "denazification" and "demilitarization", both were proved multiple times to be false one way or another).
I live in america I don't pay taxes then I go to prison.

It has nothing to do with wanting to fund my army...I didn't agree with the war for iraqs oil....but I didn't have a choice.

I'm not defending russia's actions as I clearly said in the same post, but it has nothing to with pax.
actually it does.
If there were MORE open-minded fair people in Russia this war could have ended in one day with a huge people outrage on the streets of an agressor country. Government just couldn't jail 'em all. But those were scarce and few, unfortunatelly.
And I'm really glad that there were any at all, who oposed themselves to that government and those actions. Those are the decent human beings, period.
And you know what the other clown seems like, and you seem like right now? The exact thing your saying.

So close minded you can't see that being russian does not make you the enemy automatically. Your just as bad by thinking like that...truth.

That's the intro of Divi Dead, a 1998 adult horror visual novel and, to this date, the best game in that genre in my subjective opinion.
Ironically i just found a list of Steam games in that zone and I almost started giving reviews for them because most of the ones I tried were fucking terrible, even just the gallery...if you could call them that :LOL:

but I've been trying so many it wouldn't be fair reviews so I didn't...I am going to need to find this though ;)
The game can be found on F95 or played in a browser at The Asenheim Project - Nostalgic Visual Novels on-line. The game has voice narration (which is something most games of that time didn't have) and to play it in the full-screen, you need to change the exe properties - Compatibility - Run in 640x480
Ouch the screen size, quoted for the record though lol

Btw. I really like reading game reviews of all of you but I feel lazy to say "thank you" every time someone wrote something.

So, I'll give you my review without spoilers of the game most of you probably never played:

That's the intro of Divi Dead, a 1998 adult horror visual novel and, to this date, the best game in that genre in my subjective opinion.

Our hero is Ranmaru Hibikiya, who just got transferred into an exclusive and secluded elite academy run by his uncle. Ranmaru was very ill throughout his childhood but it seems he's getting better in the past few years. While he came to this elite academy in the mountains to study, he was also invited by his uncle as a sort of spy/investigator because weird things were happening in the academy.

As I said, this is an adult horror visual novel so there are lewd scenes and there are horror scenes. Music really brings tension and suspense to those scenes and although the game is 25 years old, you don't notice that because it's a visual novel and visual novels either have or don't have a great art style and good stories. While the story looks simple, NOTHING is as it seems.

There are also a few slightly negative sides of this AVN - the first is - you can't buy it anywhere (at least the English version) but there are a few places where you can play it. The second thing: the game was notorious for its 3 possible endings that you can't get without a walkthrough (at least not the 2nd and 3rd) and do you know how painful was to find walkthroughs in the 1998 era of the Internet? The last problem is translation. While it's not "All your base are belong to us" bad, it's obvious that translators didn't know how to translate some things so they either skipped some sentences or they felt awkward. So, to fully appreciate the story, you'll probably need to replay it 2 or 3 times or read some online reviews/explanations. But, since there are 3 endings, you'll probably replay it anyway (or save a lot). Also, if you're not a fan of reading, Visual Novels are not a genre for you.

The game can be found on F95 or played in a browser at The Asenheim Project - Nostalgic Visual Novels on-line.

Yeah, man! I played it once, almost accidentally. Just read about it in some anime forums and was interested in the story (and xxx pictures of course). Finished it only once, lost interested in it closer to the ending of a game. So thanks for the review!
Ps: it is well drawn, and pictures is good)). But maybe i lost interest in story because of the translation, anyway i can't really remember how it ended, except of series of death.

In the 1990s, there were several wars on the territory of the former Yugoslavia: Croats, Serbs, Bosniaks, Montenegrins, Slovenians, North Macedonians, Kosovars... They were all involved at some time.
And then, recently someone posted this on his Facebook.

Translation:
"I'm watching porn on PornHub and, down in the comments, one Serb and one Croat are arguing who started the war. For fuck's sake, guys, is it nothing sacred to you!?"

Me too. I have probably 1/3 of those games and, basically, I'm only interested in King's Bounty II.

Afterimage and 9 Years of Shadow are the two I skipped if anyone buys the prestige bundle and wants to work something out.

Afterimage isn't too bad at shops right now, I may just grab that there instead, thats why I skipped it in the first place...so I'm not concerned about that one particularly.

"we shouldn't follow blindly in love or "be in love" with theories, politicians or our own vision about the world but humanity themselves and we should think ourselves"

basically, don't follow bulshit that is meant to conquer u and use u be it preconcept, politics, laws etc, follow humanity.

most politicians will use a politic called bread and circus.

Nice review Silent, I remember the struggle we had in the past when we got stuck in the game and we hadn't youtube walktrhougs. We had some magazines with cheats and walkthroughs books (we still have nowdays).
if you needed help In 80s - 90s you could even call Nintendo Power hotline, there were operators could literally help you to beat your game. I never tried I think it was more an american thing and it was expensive call lol.

The Quietest Keyboards So You Don’t Wake The Baby annoy your honey 😏

Thats the title of a legit page I got a hit on (but I've edited the title for context here)

Yeah Im looking for a QUIET keyboard. I get yelled at coz someone can hear me typing while Im in game with them. I've tried tippy-toe typing, typing reaaaaallly slow & quiet, cutting my nails .. .. they still hear me.. yikes.

Now I understand WHY they get mad... but we're waiting for whatever in the game and I glance over to discord and type while waiting.. but yes, Im listening, yes you have my attention.. we're waiting .. and you're yelling at me 😔 (I quite often type notes to myself too but last night resorted to pencil and paper for fear of upsetting them any more.)

Im good at stealth in game but now I need to up my game in stealth typing. I sooo miss my keyboard that died a sad death due to coffee, but at least I was laughing while it died. I complain often about this POS flat HP keyboard Im using (who thought flat is a good idea at HP???) but its been a year and it has to go. For my own sanity as well as my honey's.

Open to suggestions from you all, tho I'd prefer:
MUST BE QUIET when pressing keys!! No matter how fast or slow I type;
ergonomic (yeah HP, listen up!);
wireless with maybe disposable batteries rather than it dying mid-sentence even better if it includes a mouse;
pretty lights optional;
not willing to trade my kidneys to pay for it...

Please, no lectures on how couples should tolerate each other. Im asking for keyboard suggestions. This isnt reddit.
