Last night I was talking about the base to a friend and he said they should livestream the base for when the Israelis hit it as proof, I told him they could probably flatten the whole base on camera and get away with it.

They've started live testing server meshing and its hilarious because when it actually works you realise they didnt design any facet of the game for more than 20 players at a time. There literally arnt enough habs for people to spawn in, way to little elevators and screens. Everything is diagetic but in such limited quantities that when they did the 1000 player test (Which only got to 750 before crashing) people had to form actual queues to use the terminals to spawn ships. Unlike a lot of people I'm pretty confident they'll eventually release a proper game I just dont think it will be any fun at all. They just keep making the game more and more tedious in the name of "realism".

If they can reverse engineer IRN BRU then I believe they can do anything

Yeah but its not like October 7th would happen in 2024 NI, Loyalist support of Israel is simply a reactionary stance brought on by Nationalist support of Palestine. I think the reason is more that he is, like many people here, incredibly adverse to paramilitary violence. It's easy to see how a person with a Loyalist background with a "civility" mindset could be shocked into returning to their traditional Right Wing Loyalist roots when seeing the Left wing Nationalists support what they see to be a unforgivable act of violence similar to the Troubles.

Then again who the fuck knows maybe he got converted by Facebook or is just being opportunistic, maybe he recently got married or divorced or a million other personal things that lead to these kinds of changes.

Except the Anglos will be the last to suffer from this, when it comes to this sort of thing the order of getting shat on goes Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland and then England. In NI right now the NHS has already collapsed effectively, even vital stuff like cancer treatments are now at the point where people are dying on the wait lists, all its going to take is the introduction of privatised A&E and it'll all be gone.

Me and my friend are from here and even he didn't realise where it was, so I can see how it might trip people up

For the purposes of HRT, regardless of application, there are two main estrogens to consider; Estrone (E1) and Estradiol (E2).

Estrone is a weak estrogen in the body it is derived from cholesterol. However, in its most common form of medication, Premarin, it is derived from the urine of pregnant mares. As a weak estrogen that is also not bioidentical (Premarin's chemical structure differs from organic estrone) , it is not as effective as Estradiol in the role of HRT.

Estradiol is the major female sex hormone and as such in it's synthesised ester forms such as Estradiol Valerate it is often considered the most effective form of HRT. It can be derived from diosgenin found in yams, or stigmaserol usually from soybean oil and probably some other plant precursors Im not aware of. It should be noted that most sex hormones can be derived from these methods, stigmaserol for example converts to estrone before it is chemically altered to estradiol.

I've been on a binge of 90s games this year and its really impressive how well they still hold up, Half Life 1, Deus Ex, Morrow wind (I think it says alot that Morrowind still has a thriving mod community and a completely rewritten open source version), Just last week I found out they made talkie mods for the first two Monkey Islands, so I'm playing through those too. It's crazy that my 2023 GOTY was the System Shock remake. Point and clicks really are the pinnacle of game design tbh, all the games that have stuck with me over the last through years from Norco to Disco Elysium are essentially just point and clicks.
