Has it really been six years?

The Japanese release of P5 came out in September 2016.

Russia aims to seize southern Ukraine and to open a route to the separatist region of Transnistria in Moldova, a senior Russian general says.
Maj Gen Rustam Minnekayev specified that Moscow would seek to take "full control" over the south in addition to the eastern Donbas region - the stated objective of the Russian authorities.
Transnistria is a small Russian-backed region that borders Ukraine.
It is unclear if Gen Minnekayev's comments were officially sanctioned.
Russian defence officials told the BBC's Steve Rosenberg that they were "looking into" the general's comments, which - if confirmed - offer the first insight into Russia's potential plans in the coming weeks.

Moldova has summoned Moscow's ambassador over the comments.
Meanwhile, a senior EU official has told Reuters that Russia is likely to intensify its attacks in eastern Ukraine and along the southern coast in the coming days, adding that the next two weeks may be decisive in the war.
It comes as the BBC learned that European Council President Charles Michel has highlighted Russia's "miscalculations and losses" in its invasion of Ukraine to President Vladimir Putin during a phone call on Friday.

A small Russian-speaking breakaway region, Transnistria borders Ukraine from the west. It claimed independence after the fall of the Soviet Union in a bloody conflict, but is not recognised internationally and officially remains part of Moldova.
A small detachment of around 1,500 Russian troops has been stationed in the region since 1995 as part of a truce agreement.
Gen Minnekayev, who is deputy commander of Russia's central military district, was speaking at a military event in the Sverdlovsk region.
"Control over the south of Ukraine is another way out to Transnistria, where there are also facts of oppression of the Russian-speaking population," Gen Minnekayev said.
Mr Putin made similar claims about the alleged discrimination against Russian speakers in Ukraine before launching the invasion on 24 February.
Ukraine's defence ministry denounced Gen Minnekayev's comments as Russian "imperialism".
In a statement posted to Twitter, Ukrainian officials said Russia had "acknowledged that the goal of the 'second phase' of the war is not victory over the mythical Nazis, but simply the occupation of eastern and southern Ukraine".
Later the Moldovan foreign ministry released a statement saying it viewed the comments "as unfounded and contradicting Russia's position in support of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of our country within internationally recognised borders".
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says Russia is planning on holding a series of sham independence referendums in occupied regions to create a series of pro-Russian breakaway states.
"If they ask you to fill out some questionnaires, leave your passport data somewhere, you should know this is not to help you," he warned.
"This is aimed to falsify the so-called referendum on your land if an order comes from Moscow to stage such a show. This is the reality. Be careful."
A spokesperson for the Ukrainian defence ministry said that referendums were planned in Kherson and occupied areas around Zaporizhzhia in the coming weeks.
Oleksandr Motuzianik claimed the polls will coincide with the forced conscription of some men into the Russian military.

I'm sure this guy will be "disciplined" for opening his mouth but it's not like people didn't see this coming with how Putin says the breakup of the Soviet Union was the greatest tragedy the world has ever seen.

Guess those mobile crematoriums Russia brought with them can't keep up with all the civilians they're raping and murdering. They'll probably blame Ukraine again for things that happen in territory that Russia currently controls.

We should be doing more to pressure Ukraine into finding a diplomatic solution, which would likely be surrendering a portion of Eastern Ukraine.

I see the reincarnation of Neville Chamberlain has entered the topic.

Play the two games and then ignore every bit of related media that came after because holy fuck EA/Bioware absolutely shat all over the story just so they could cash in nostalgia points for the TOR MMO.

Mu favorite Kawakami moment is when you run into her while going fishing.

She's like "Oh god these assholes." That "completely fed up with everything and dead on the inside" attitude is hella hot

She also gets embarrassed in that scene if you've progressed her Confidant storyline.

Imagine losing your flagship to a country that doesn't even have a navy

RIP Sakura Wars
RIP Armored Core
RIP Titanfall

In terms of force projection I don't think there's another country that could compete against the US in a conventional war.

Naturally he used the commemoration of this accomplishment to talk about how their goals in Ukraine are a noble attempt to protect Russian lives and how Ukraine is responsible for the collapse of peace talks.

Russia's actions have pretty much guaranteed that every country that was ever in their sphere of influence will want to join NATO, because the alternative is either being a puppet state or being invaded for refusing to be a puppet state.

Put your dukes up

More people died in the firebombing of Tokyo in March 1945 than those killed by the second bomb dropping on Nagasaki.

Revan destroys the Great Emperor as a redeemed Light Side Jedi for example

Please don't talk about anything related to the utter dogshit that is SWTOR and its books.

Having mary sue Makoto at top tier is the key to having a shit tier list

Just a reminder that criticizing the invasion can now get you 15 years in prison for discrediting the Russian military, so pretty much any poll numbers are purely propaganda

I'm hesitant towards any story alterations ever since TOR and its associated books absolutely shat all over KOTOR's characters and lore. It reminds me of how the first thing WotC did with DnD 5e was go out of their way to shit on Baldur's Gate.

I mean the flip side is that a Tauros-equipped Laura or Sara can one-shot almost any enemy in the game with their S-crafts.

You're very lucky that they cut out a bunch of the filler quests in ARR and the 2.x segments because it used to be so, so much worse.

They abandoned the colony back when the Garlean Empire invaded Ala Mhigo, not during the Calamity.

The most annoying thing about Mednafen is multi-disc games, if you didn't set up an m3u file beforehand you have to rename every single save to the name of subsequent discs for it to recognize them. I ran into that when emulating Sakura Wars.

Who was the host of Hrist, was that ever revealed? I've completed the first game fully and got half-way through the second one.

It's in 2 but it's probably the most obvious "secret" in the game, it's Leone and Silmeria knew the whole time

Imagine getting another Valkyrie Profile and yet Hrist still hasn't gotten her own game.

iirc the Ukrainians need the old migs as that is what they are trained on

Poland would be giving them planes they can actually use, we should use this as a chance to reinforce both countries as Poland would have time to train on the new hardware.

Polish MiG-29s are also modified to integrate with NATO systems, so any given to the Ukrainians would very conveniently happen to be able to receive information from the E-3 AWACS aircraft that have been hanging around across the border over the past two weeks.

Is that a T-80?
They still run those?

T-80s are the best they have, the T-90 is just a T-72 with a bodykit and there's like 10 Armatas in existence that are only good for parades

Duncan please go back to making Pokemon topics before you say something really fucking stupid and get stuck in Purgatory again.

Also Russia won't hold Kyiv anymore than America held Saigon or Kabul.

If Russia can't hold Kyiv they'll 100% flatten it, they've been deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure since this war started and it's only going to get worse as their forces spread thinner.

They're really going all-in on becoming a hermit state, huh

Muv Luv Unlimited/Alternative is sci-fi isekai

Yeah he already said the day before the war started that Ukraine has no right to exist as a sovereign state, I don't think they really give a shit about any new threats he makes because it's already clear he wants to wipe them off the map

Russian army would never target civilians

I wanna know what reality these people live in, Russia's idea of a successful resolution of a hostage situation involving its own citizens is to slaughter both the hostages and hostage takers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beslan_school_siege

Russian state TV is also claiming that the airstrikes on civilian centers is a false flag by Ukraine, it's honestly pathetic how far they'll go to blame the west for their own actions.

This isn't shocking given that China's first aircraft carrier was literally just another unfinished Kuznetsov that they bought years ago

Just a reminder that TC is of the "NATO aggression is responsible for Russia cluster bombing Ukrainian civilians" mentality

Stiffer than expected Ukrainian resistance and Russia's own logistical missteps have bogged down Russia's advance, US and western officials say, sparking a fragile optimism. The US has also continued sharing downgraded intelligence with the Ukrainians, including about Russian military moves, in an attempt to help Ukraine on the battlefield, two of the sources told CNN.
But intelligence and defense officials closely tracking the Russian campaign say that Putin still holds a number of moves in reserve that could devastate the Ukrainian resistance.

"From a purely military/tactical standpoint, Russia has the manpower and firepower to take Kyiv. No question," said an American source familiar with the intelligence. "And no matter how much resistance the Ukrainians put up."

My copy and paste isnt working but this is from CNN this morning.

Welp I guess Ukraine should just surrender now and let their territory be carved up by Russian interests because that's better than fighting back against a wannabe Stalin, yes?

Gganbu posted...
Shut the fuck up. Putin said on a national broadcast that Ukraine has no right to exist as an independent state and your take on them resisting is that's they're being influenced by "western elites"?
