05:52:18 MJ: Oh right, the PM game, was quite fun, I do feel like you could die maybe a bit too quicklly, but I also got hit by two differnt teams at the same time.
05:53:22 ER: rockets will really hurt if you enter range and have grouped up units
05:53:31 ER: and heavy might be op, honestly
05:54:11 ER: rockets have 3 range and cannot move+shoot, so anything with more than 3 range can avoid them mostly
05:54:19 ER: provided you know where they are of course
05:54:46 MJ: Can't stick around too long, but that book did come in todya
05:55:10 Devastator: well, hope you like it.
05:55:15 Devastator: I got yours from the library.
05:55:46 Devastator: haven't read it yet. Next few days.
05:56:04 Devastator: Sequel ended up pretty bad, so.. enjoy that one. ;-p
05:56:25 MJ: I
started reading a bit of it, I like it, definitely captures what brothers are like~
05:56:52 Devastator: yeah, there's some of that.
05:56:58 Devastator: you the cold one or the crazy one?
05:57:15 MJ: I'm the cold one, my twins the crazy one.
05:57:39 MJ: And my little brother is if you took the two and mixed them together.
05:57:45 Devastator: I'll have to call you Khandri, then. ;-p
05:59:07 MJ: I will. I hope you enjoy Red Knight.
05:59:47 MJ: out of curiosity, what's the cover look like?
06:01:18 Devastator: horse guy pointing stick at dragon.
06:01:41 MJ: Ah cool, same one I had. That means it's got the little pictures at the beginign of each chapter.
06:02:11 MJ: Horse guy pointing stick at a dragon
06:02:42 Devastator: for Master Assassins.
06:03:27 MJ: Two dudes running away from a dude with an on fire fist riding a giant cat thgin
06:03:40 Devastator: Same one I read, too. ;-p
06:04:07 Devastator: Anyway, upon further thought I've had the series recommended to me from other people before.
06:04:14 MJ: Whole reason I picked up that book honestlly, I thought the cover looked cool on the red knight.
06:04:17 Devastator: I have faint memories of reading an overall plot summary.
06:04:52 Devastator: although I don't know where the horse came from.
06:04:59 Devastator: maybe I t hought he was riding the title.
06:05:41 Devastator: yeah, I think that's it.
06:05:53 Devastator: brain added it to the scene.
06:06:46 MJ: I picked that book up when I was in England actually. We were in this small little english bookseller and I wanted to buy something that I hadn't seen before. Turns out the author is American but eh~
06:07:17 Devastator: I heard it's hard buying books in America sometimes.
06:07:47 Devastator: Like.. ther'es not as many bookstores around up here, from when I was a kid.
06:07:55 Devastator: but I heard it's much worse down there.
06:08:11 MJ: Yeah, there's not a ton. I guess most people use amazon these days.
06:08:36 Devastator: Not for me. Every book I've ordered I've ordered through the local bookstore.
06:08:54 Devastator: If I can't afford it I check the library.
06:09:17 MJ: Yeah, there's really only like one local bookstore aorund here. A couple of chain bookstores though.
06:09:26 Devastator: That's about the same as here, then.
06:09:40 Devastator: When I was a kid we had two.
06:12:49 Devastator: although thinking back, a retro console shop opened where it was.
06:23:07 Devastator: anyway, enjoy the book. I think I'll flip through it some tonight.
06:25:09 Devastator: oh, they made the michigan lawyers show up for their sanction hearing today.
06:25:42 Devastator: Couldn't listen, but I followed some nice legal commentary on that.
06:26:08 MJ: Cool, apperently Cuba has a bunch of protests against...well Cuba just kinda falling apart for the last 50 years or so.
06:26:14 Devastator: well, we basically know which lawyers are genuinely bad actors, and which ones are just dupes.
06:26:42 Devastator: I'd need an expert on Cub to talk about that.
06:27:51 Devastator: I mean, it never was as repressive as say NK or the old Soviet Union, but I still don't know how common protests or unrest was.
06:27:56 Devastator: to know if this is normal stuff or unusual.
06:28:27 Devastator: also I didn't know it happened, so don't know how big it is.
06:29:00 MJ: From what I've read the scale is apparently pretty rare.
06:29:10 MJ: But I don't know much beyond that.
06:29:15 Devastator still wants to find an expert.
06:29:36 MJ: Just an interesting thing happening in a part of world I like close to I suppose.
06:31:05 Devastator: I was wrong about Belarus. Although only partly.
06:31:58 Devastator: Litvinko did end up holding on there, although his government effectively collapsed.
06:32:31 MJ: Yeah, They also got a bunch of Russian support IIRC
06:32:42 Devastator: his effective ability to collect revenue is now very close to zero.
06:32:51 Devastator: was a puppet before that happened.
06:33:40 Devastator: It's just now everyone in his country knows it.
06:34:11 Devastator: I bet propping up Belarus is the reason why he didn't end up taking another bite out of Ukraine.
06:34:18 Devastator: it's probably sucking up a lot of resources.
06:34:57 MJ: I know Russia economic situation is weird.
06:35:36 Devastator: It's hard to judge how strong they are overall, though.
06:36:09 MJ: Yeah. Seems a fairlly standard thing for dictatorships at any rate~
06:36:31 MJ: Anyway, I should get to bed. I have a bladerunner style test tommorow.~
06:36:34 Devastator: Some you can pretty much tell.
06:36:41 Devastator: staring into a visor? ;-p
06:36:47 Devastator: no, that's not quite how it works.
06:37:14 MJ: Heh, it's essentially this test where they just ask a bunch of questions and your supposed to pick how you would responsde.
06:37:33 MJ: It just reminds me of that scence where harrison ford is just asking the replicants questions
06:37:57 MJ: Yeah, I keep half expecting one of the questions to literally be that question.
06:39:00 Devastator: watch out for any unicorns.
06:39:25 ER: sleep
mj, don't get distracted~
06:39:41 MJ: Heh if I see a man in a trench coat I'll be sure to take off running, may as well make my death cool looking.
06:39:51 Devastator: it was the title and the cover image.
06:40:08 Devastator: why my brain added 'horse'
06:40:31 MJ: Oh I see, yeah I could see that

08:01:05 Devastator: "Plus if we refuse, there is a chance Dane would kill us, possibly by shoving a stick of dynamite the in our throat and lighting it and running, waiting for the explosion, then dealing with the train himself. We have a better likelihood of surviving if we don’t piss off the man with explosives"
08:01:25 Devastator: Whatever world NG lives in is not this one.
08:03:27 Devastator: That said, you do have
syv outvoted, so you're going headlong into this!
