Xenogears & Xenosaga writer Soraya Saga announced her retirement from video game writing:

- I had been taking care of my grandmother (passed away at the end of 2024) for five years.
- A member of my family who has been going through a difficult time for the past 10 years needs my support for now. Given my tendency to immerse myself in writing too much, I ought not to write yet.
- With the success of Xenoblade Chronicles, Takahashi's solo writing seems to be widely acclaimed by the fandom. I don't think I should ruin it.
- As for my health, I'm doing well. Thank you.

If you've ever used iLovePDF, then you should be grateful to Marco Grossi, the brain behind one of the most successful websites ever created.

Interestingly, Grossi got the idea to create the website, which now has over 30,000 visitors every minute, in 2010 when he needed to cut and paste a PDF.

He realized that it was a very simple task and he could actually create it himself, and he did.

The website has since been free for over 99.9% of users, and it generates 80 to 90% of its revenue from 0.1% of users who pay $4 per month to use premium features.

Grossi rarely grants interviews as he prefers being low-key and leading a normal life.

He is a graduate of Multimedia and Photography at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia, Spain.

Agree, but in this case still dominated from extreme weather. I assumed percent of contribution from rainfall:environment = 80:20 because of this data. Total rainfall around 1300 mm during latest 2 weeks recorded in Agam, west Sumatra. Just one sample. Others could received more.

[Prof. Dr. Erma Yulihastin @EYulihastin]

Pray for central Tapanuli flash flood. This devastating flash flood is triggered by extreme rainfall (229 mm recorded in Tobing station on 24 November) which associated with development of tropical storm 95B over the Malacca Strait around one week previously.

[Malik Ar Rahiem 🇵🇸 @malikarrahiem]

Dengan atau tanpa pembalakan liar, kalo satu DAS kena hantam curah hujan 229 mm, kayak di Tapanuli Tengah sekarang (data curah hujan dari postingan Prof @EYulihastin), maka mudah saja terjadi longsor dan banjir bandang.

Jaman Junghuhn aja banjir bandang itu kejadian rutin.

Not the best way to celebrate the championship, but this is racing. Today we’ll fly to Madrid and the doctors will evaluate everything.
Please, no hard feelings towards Marco, nobody does it on purpose.
Thanks for all your support ❤️🙏🏼

Freeport has declared force majeure at Grasberg — and with good reason.

This will shake both copper and gold balances. Let me explain why.

Grasberg is a giant. One of the largest mines on earth, producing ~1.7bn pounds of copper (≈2% of global supply) and ~1.6Moz of gold pa (≈1.5% of global supply).

Think of it as a vast underground city: 28,000 employees, 250 km of tunnels across dozens of levels. Each year, 35–40 km of new tunnels are added — roughly the length of Switzerland’s Gotthard Base Tunnel (57 km), the world’s longest rail tunnel.

At its heart lies the Grasberg Block Cave (GBC), which accounts for ~70% of reserves and output. Other sections include Big Gossan and Deep MLZ.

On Sept 8, disaster struck: ~800,000 tons of wet material suddenly rushed in, flooding multiple underground levels. The mud hit GBC directly — the very core of Grasberg’s production.

A catastrophic failure. How was this even possible?

Block caving itself may become central to the story. Out of more than 12,000 active mines worldwide, only ~20 have ever used block caving — a handful do so today - El Teniente in Chile; Oyu Tolgoi in the desert in Mongolia; Cadia East & Northparks, both Australia; Palabora, SA; who else? That’s <0.1% of all mines.

None do so or did in the past within a similar rainy climate as Grasberg does.

Block Caving is an extremely rarely applied mining method, reserved for very large, low-grade underground ore bodies which themselves are exceptionally rare. Most mining is open-pit, stoping, or cut-and-fill.

Block Caving has economic appeal — low cost per ton — but the geotechnical risks are likely immense. Once caving starts, the process is essentially an engineered collapse of the mountain. What could possibly go wrong?

That’s why this accident isn’t just a local disaster IMHO. It could become a case study for the entire mining method. Perhaps it wasn’t well understood how block caving behaves under Indonesia’s heavy rainfall and complex geology? I don’t know — but I wouldn’t be surprised if that proves decisive.

My view? By year-end, Freeport will be fortunate just to understand the mechanics of this accident. Until then, production forecasts are pure guesswork.

Such a failure should (a) have been impossible, and (b) means operations can only restart once it’s crystal clear why it happened and how it can be prevented from happening again.

Analysts say full recovery is likely by 2027. That’s total nonsense. Nobody really knows. A true “known unknown.”

What is known: any company with less strength and brainpower than Freeport McMoRan would likely go bankrupt from this. Think Victoria Gold — a minor heap leach pad slide sank it within weeks.

Mining companies get hit twice: revenues vanish while capital costs to fix the damage soar, and regulators delay re-issuing permits until safety is proven. And this accident involves death. It’s a total nightmare.

My view? This is no quick fix. With infrastructure damaged, safety paramount, at least two confirmed dead and five still missing, investigations ongoing, potential class actions looming, and permitting hurdles ahead, the road back for Grasberg will be long and uncertain.

The only good news: Grasberg adds too much to the GDP of Indonesia to not fix this nightmare.
