I was gonna hold but i fear we must post obituary ..

The invincible praetorian got killed by a giant amoeba while swimming just after reaching lvl 10 on the 4th stratum below Nyoshwukas the legendary gunsmith.

One moment you're happily trotting around, .. the next you're gone, permadeath ...

why generation ABC(the one past Z , ask "dont learn ABC ask jippedee!") wont have Gateses , Zucks and Musks ?

this one wont have Wozzes or Dougies, the previous one probably no Turings or Einsteins , entropy flattens everything out after all , soul gets diluted, the world decays

time, which has not been proven to exist, after all IS the observation of changing (mostly decaying) energy states

B/c im not ILL NEVER PLAY THIS GAME AGAIN but

OMG one little mistake ... (i actually was ready i stood on the steps to move up when things go below 40% but i pushed down once after a kill and got surrounded and the exit got blocked)

There it came to pass that while swimming in full armour, after enduring so many battles and surviving so much bile and gore, dehydration, famine and disease ... the mighty legionnaire got killed

by an amoeba ...

Had about 800 drams worth of water in storage

the biggest problem not getting more but not finding containers to store - when going to the merchant carrying the loot you simply cant b/c you can only store 4 or 5 drams more and no one in the explored map is selling more containers b/c i bought them all

no idea but i assume since im only 6tiles explored (fully) for all but the 4th stratum and below of that particular dungeon

the equipment wasnt supreme tier 20 gear yet ...

On the first of shwut Ux ... may he rest in piece, such a dishonorable death for such a tough character lol.

O as for the world ... im sure everything will sound the same as last months news or gaza in the 1980s ... but there's ronde van vlaanderen so none of that matters ... im sure the new five-government fixed the economy and i bet they're already planting army-propagande to justify the money in the middle of "news" items ...

it would be "just as usual" we dont really need to watch it all for that ...

As for gen-ABC ... (well what comes after Z ? its the end of the Sumerian era so i guess nothing noteworthy anymore - seems unlikely there will be a recovery like after the last great flood (which happened somewhere at the dawn of the sumerian era so if waterlevels rise again who knows, the thing is with dry mines it seems unlikely there will be any recovery at all)

dont wanna look down on those poor mistreated molotov throwing and/or initiative-less kids who alraedy have it hard enough today
also : i dont think Jobs is much to talk about i alway mention Woz .. the americans and their culture might lift Jobs up for being the supreme salesforce but we are not impressed ...

Thing is for your kids ... i understand you cant just change all that b/c sociological change takes generations, culturul probably a century or multiple ... things is tho :

taking facts only : if chinese kids get 1 month off a year and during that uncle Xi decrees : NO MORE THAN 30 HOURS OF GAMING and everyone abides ... and yours here still divvy up in semesters because its already hard enough

regardless the "o that should not be" and bla -

how do you expect to compete with that ?

also ... how do you calculate "we can get 36 billion by ripping of the 30% below the poverty limit" if they dont even have the 12 billion for defense while propagating the very useful usefulness of having an army today b/c the russians might be here in 106 years

we cant get the numbers down

but it matters not

...

shall we try ... its like i dont wanna try the same praetorian , but on the other hand i only was 6 tiles far (that b/c of the meticulous and obsessive hoarding playstyle that nets us 800 drams and lvl 10 by then, did only one quest ...)

... besides :

KOERS!

nothing else to say
