Half a million people dead, more than that wounded, many irreversibly disabled. Hundreds of thousands of lives destroyed for absolutely nothing.

History has no shortage of idiotic wars, but this one surely has to be near the top.

[Janis Kluge @jakluge]

A group of hackers published classified data on Russian soldiers killed in the war, from Russia's statistics agency Rosstat. In late August, the total was 450,100 (around 100k per year). It is in line with other independent estimates. There is also a regional breakdown.

[OTD: Russian Revolution 1917 @onthisday1917]

#OTD The capture of the Winter Palace, where the government sat, completes the takeover of Petrograd. The MRC announces the revolution’s success.

The Second All-Russia Congress of Soviets opens with 650–670 voting delegates (about 900 present):
•Around 300 Bolsheviks plus fellow travellers.
•Up to 190 SRs, split into two factions, with the Left SRs stronger.
•Around 70 Mensheviks.
•30 Internationalists.

At the First Congress in June, SRs and Mensheviks held 600 of 830 delegates. The change reflects younger, more working-class delegates replacing the middle-class intellectuals and officers who dominated in June. Over 500 back the seizure of power.

The Congress elects a 14-seat Bolshevik presidium alongside seven SRs, three Mensheviks and one from Gorky’s group. The Right SRs and Mensheviks then walk out.

Trotsky tells them:
“You are pitiful isolated individuals; you are bankrupts; your role is played out. Go where you belong from now on — into the dustbin of history!”

A new CEC is elected. The groups that walked out may send delegates on a proportional basis.

[Sean M. O'Brien @TeamsterSOB]

Teamsters General President Sean O’Brien here. Just voted in the State of Florida for the first time, and very proud to have cast a ballot for @SenAshleyMoody. Sen. Moody has been extremely helpful working with the Teamsters to protect workers’ pensions, defend good-paying jobs, and support well-funded union apprenticeship programs. The Teamsters look forward to working with Sen. Moody in her role on the Senate HELP Committee to pass the Faster Labor Contracts Act and get this critical legislation signed into law to protect American workers.

🇵🇱 Poland's pro-EU Prime Minister, Donald Tusk, has ordered a raid on the offices of the Constitutional Tribunal in Warsaw, prompting President Karol Nawrocki to turn his plane around mid-flight.

The court is responsible for ensuring that parliamentary legislation complies with the Polish Constitution.

@DroidLiberator The fact that there's *any* kind of organised resistance on earth is laughable

[SpaceSoviet ☭ 🚀🌃 @TheSpaceSoviet]

People saying this was a good opening proves the ultimate victory of 'hype moments and aura' over any kind of good storytelling.

[SpaceSoviet ☭ 🚀🌃 @TheSpaceSoviet]

@DroidLiberator If you want to make your game about saving the Earth, you can't put the Reapers on it at the very start unless you want to make them look incompetent. By the time the Crucible is built, there should be nothing left to save.

And that's just one of the issues with this opening.

I don't believe it. Lula not only won, he did so with a better margin than in 2022. Incredible.

[SpaceSoviet ☭ 🚀🌃 @TheSpaceSoviet]

I know I'm going to be crucified for this but, while it is true that bad management from EA was a major factor, BioWare had a fundamentally unworkable internal culture that was bound to blow it up sooner or later.

It's a massive loss, but one that in hindsight seems inevitable.

[SpaceSoviet ☭ 🚀🌃 @TheSpaceSoviet]

@OriginalRizzler "A game that was so simple that anyone could pick it up and then was simplified even more? Sure, let's give it to a studio known for making you use spreadsheets for character builds. That'll surely go swimmingly!"

[SpaceSoviet ☭ 🚀🌃 @TheSpaceSoviet]

Giving DA to Larian would be a horrible decision. We're talking about a studio that folded and rewrote (for the worse) significant parts of BA3 due to fan "feedback".

Can you imagine them having to deal with a fandom as "passionate" as the DA one?

[Wesley ✨ @wesleytypes]

If Mass Effect and Dragon Age can be sold, I hope they will be.

These would be my ideal picks:

Mass Effect ---> Owlcat Games

Dragon Age ---> Larian Studios

The problem is, I'm not sure why two busy thriving studios like these would want another IP they didn't create themselves, especially ones that have likely been rung dry of any remaining juice. Larian has actively removed themselves from something like this already by leaving Baldur's Gate for their own Divinity.

As terrible as it is, if either of these legendary IP are resurrected, it'll most likely be by a huge passionless entity that only sees dollar signs.

[✧ 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐡 ✧ @dalishlavellan]

still so so glad EA pushed so hard for BioWare to turn from the single player RPGS they were renowned for and try and move towards live service games instead, like genuinely what the fuck were they thinking

[SpaceSoviet ☭ 🚀🌃 @TheSpaceSoviet]

@DroidLiberator It's still pretty bad imo, but it's unquestionably the best of the prequels (and the only one that personally did not make me grind my teeth in frustration).

[SpaceSoviet ☭ 🚀🌃 @TheSpaceSoviet]

It's because people in 2005 still cared about things like "plot" and "characters" instead of hype moments and aura.

[Rock Solid @ShitpostRock]

I actively refuse to believe Star Wars fans watched this in 2005 and thought it was straight pungent slop dogshit

[SpaceSoviet ☭ 🚀🌃 @TheSpaceSoviet]

It's true that saying this while having a ✝️ in your bio is pretty funny, but people making fun of them should also understand that a lot of modern mainline Christianity is (from an atheist perspective) much more reasonable than astrology.

[Archy✝️ | Richard Nixon Democrat @ArchysLife]

Astrology is bad not because it is "sky eugenics" but because it is an incorrect belief system, and thus leads one to incorrect conclusions about the world. Holding beliefs proven to be incorrect is bad in and of itself.
