Altair • Sunbringer Season published a summary of Kafka for the beta 3.4 of ZZZ and warned that its features could change. As explained, the character would have a mechanic called Electric Arc: a strike that would bounce between a maximum of three nearby enemies, dealing 50% less damage for each enemy, scaling with anomaly mastery (AP), and counting as Disorder damage. The passive would grant 10 AP and another 10 points of a personal resource every time Kafka used his EX Skill. When an enemy affected by an anomaly attempted to attack, Electric Arc would automatically activate and deal 3% Disorder damage plus 500% of Kafka's AP, in addition to granting him three points of the resource. The passive would also increase the team's Disorder damage by 35%. The additional skill would extend Shock by three seconds and, when entering combat or when an ally caused an anomaly, would grant seven points of anomaly rate for every 12% energy recharge above 120%, up to a maximum of 140 points for 30 seconds. Altair pointed out that every fourth basic attack hitting an enemy affected by an anomaly would activate Electric Arc with 3% Disorder damage plus 500% of Kafka's AP. The powered basic attack would consume 80 points of the resource to deal area damage; if it hit an enemy with Shock, it would renew its duration, while against another anomaly, it would apply Polarity Disorder, with 90% Disorder damage and maintaining the anomaly. The EX Special would put Kafka in a powered state with three consecutive cuts and shots; not using it would result in losing 20 energy points. The final hit of the EX Slash would activate Electric Arc with 7% Disorder damage plus 1,200% of Kafka's AP against enemies affected by anomalies. Against enemies with Shock, the hit would ignore 20% of electrical resistance. Holding the basic attack would allow executing the cuts faster. The EX Shot would increase anomaly accumulation by 50% against enemies without Shock. Regarding the ultimate, Altair said it would not have a special effect, although it could be useful for applying electricity. As for the Mindscapes, he indicated that M1 would allow the team's Disorder damage to deal critical hits, with a 100% base critical hit chance and a 25% base critical damage; furthermore, Electric Arc would ignore 12% of electrical resistance. M2 would give 15% more anomaly accumulation and 25% more damage during the powered state, a benefit that would last eight seconds after exiting it. M4 would grant Kafka 150 dB when the team inflicted Disorder, with a cooldown of 10 seconds. M6 would grant six EX Specials for each powered state. Each use would give the following EX Slash and Electric Arc a 15% defense penetration, up to a maximum of 60%. Holding the basic attack would grant 200 ATK for 30 seconds, and after using the ultimate, the next six EX Specials would cost 50% less energy. Altair added that he would publish a visual guide when version 3 came out or if a hotfix allowed playing with Kafka beforehand. He also credited the artistic work to jeonghee1414. #Kafka #Gamer #Videojuegos (translated)

The author strongly condemned the escalating drone attacks in Sudan, saying they were appalled by the catastrophic toll on civilians. They called on all parties to the conflict to protect civilians and critical civilian infrastructure and to agree without delay to a cessation of hostilities. #Sudan #Civilians #Peace #SD

GRANDPAS' ELECTION GAME So, what caught my eye were the recent ALREADY public statements by trump that new attacks on Iran are being prepared immediately after the elections... The fact that preparations were underway had been known for some time, but personally, I was surprised that he started making this public right before the elections. Because for a long time, he himself had been bullshitting about how exactly after the elections, they would be seeking an agreement with Iran. And EVEN more importantly - fuel prices were supposed to go down after the elections! It's all bullshit, obviously. Just lying to the voters, BUT... why start talking about continuing the war right before the elections, when the majority of voters don't want either the war or rising prices at gas stations??? I think it's worth remembering the fact that America has the most corrupt president, and his actions are influenced not only by the fake tsar from russia, but also by another old man from Israel. That is netanyahu, with a large Jewish lobbying network in America, private deals with the kushners, witkoffs, and trump himself. In Israel, as we know, elections have already taken place, and netanyahu failed to get his pre-election fireworks out of trump, but it's worth explaining what he was trying to achieve: netanyahu starts bullshitting again about Iran's atomic bomb. On October 21, he once again publicly started talking about how those guys are DEFINITELY DEFINITELY making that bomb AGAIN right now. Then he posted an atomic explosion in Tel Aviv on social media (he probably learned how to post from trump by now). And, of course, he AGAIN tried to tell everyone that the only way to eliminate the threat is to destroy the Iranian regime. Again, I'm not saying Iran is run by a bunch of good guys. No, no. But I simply don't believe the jew who has been telling us for about 35 years that Iran will DEFINITELY DEFINITELY have a bomb next week. And + every now and then he also suspects other neighbors of developing those bombs. Those atomic bombs are really in fashion in the Middle East. Personally, I trust USA intelligence more, which very CLEARLY said even before the war, earlier this year - NO, they are definitely not making a bomb and there is no such THREAT as being portrayed. Israel and USA have recently intensified air military exercises over Syria. A new Iranian attack was being simulated. And at the same time, Israel, taking advantage of the situation, repeatedly sent dozens of fighter jets with an aerial refueling aircraft through Syria, across Iraq, directly toward Iran. So that it would look as if they were flying to attack. And then, right near the border, they turned around. In other words, they were provoking Iran, hoping that Iran would see it as a threat and attack. Moreover - USA has ALREADY delivered new Patriot air defense systems and a replenishment of missiles to Israel. AT THE SAME TIME as supplying Ukraine with barely two missiles per month, even when the Ukrainians have made actual missile purchases. Cash in the pocket has a lot of influence, and the Jews, as I already mentioned, don't spare money when it comes to trump's family. Why is all this being done? BECAUSE netanyahu wanted to provoke an extension of the conflict before the elections and take advantage of it. After all, only he can protect Israel from an existential threat. BUT... a) Iran did not fall for the provocations. b) Even the Israeli army chief publicly clashed with netanyahu because he refused to launch military actions before the elections. c) trump also refused to launch an attack before the elections taking place in America. And that's how it turned out, netanyahu's existential threat stories no longer worked in the Israeli elections, and the elections ended with neither side managing to secure a majority. So now intense negotiations are underway to form coalitions. The bloc controlled by netanyahu, which also includes super extreme radical parties, has 53 seats. And the political opponent Gadi Eisenkot's party - 48 seats. And then there are the Arab parties, which unexpectedly gathered as many as 19 seats. So there are some nuances there, but to put it simply, if the Arabs form a coalition with Gadi, then Israel will have a new prime minister. So WHY does netanyahu now need to renew the war with Iran so badly? @ To maintain and strengthen the coalition with the radicals. Well, because netanyahu somehow needs a political majority, and to achieve that, it just so happened that in recent years he had to unite forces with extreme parties led by radicals of VERY questionable reputation. @ To divert attention from the investigations into the October 7, 2023 hamas attack. BECAUSE recently there have been huge protests in Israel demanding answers as to WHY security failed to work the way it was supposed to. And netanyahu has been dragging out these investigations for a long time. @ The fact that public support is expected in the face of a threat, but this is already such an outdated and overused trick that it simply no longer works even in Israel. So, here's the situation now: 42 days are given to form a coalition. During this time, netanyahu needs to launch new attacks against Iran. This time, WIN, meaning actually overthrow the Iranian regime, thereby strengthening his leadership position and convincing other parties to join his coalition. And THEN netanyahu will remain prime minister. And I suspect THAT is WHY netanyahu is pressuring trump to launch military actions sooner, and that's why trump may also be starting to prepare the public for new fireworks even before the elections. And it's also important to understand that Israel CANNOT start a war alone. BECAUSE they simply don't have the capabilities to do it ON THEIR OWN. It's critically important for netanyahu that USA starts first and netanyahu acts only as a supporting ally, rather than the one escalating the war. Well... because public opinion, coalition, and so on... you understand. So the whole pre-election interesting part now is that trump, I repeat - EVEN BEFORE the elections, starts talking about war, when this is completely unacceptable to American voters. And that automatically reduces the Republicans' chances of securing a majority in Congress. And then there is a possibility that the Democrats will be able to disrupt trump's military actions. And then the already SUPER small chances of defeating the Iranian regime become even smaller. Of course, it's likely that trump will start attacks anyway, because he is simply committed to Israel (don't look for some personal 5D masterplan by trump here, he's not capable of that). And then finally netanyahu may be able to retire, and as a result, the influence of Israel's radical parties will weaken. One way or another, after this whole story of election games, it's worth mentioning that Iran also already has plans for a response, and if necessary, it will not only cut the internet cables in the Strait of Hormuz, but also shoot back pretty hard. AGAIN across the entire region. And then, obviously, the whole story of rising fuel prices will drag on for even longer. And obviously, even more Patriot missiles will be used up, which will then be begrudged to Ukraine. That's all for today about the delusions of old farts trying to change the world. P.S. Hey, follow me for more interesting geopolitics stories.

Helder Floret assigned Pedro Emanuel the responsibility for the lineup of Vasco against Flamengo and criticized the decision to rest players. Although he said he liked the coach's work and that the team had not performed poorly collectively, he stated that the club's priority should be to avoid relegation, not the Copa do Brasil. Floret said that the chosen defense had never played together and that the defensive line showed little intensity. In his assessment, defensive errors decided the first half, while in the second half, Flamengo retreated and took advantage of individual quality to win the game. He also stated that it was up to the board to set limits on the coach's choices. The author compared the decision to points that, according to him, Vasco had already let slip against Remo and São Paulo for thinking about the Sudamericana. He said that a good result could boost morale for Sunday, but that the team would now enter the next game in a bad environment, after the enthusiasm generated by the victory over Corinthians had dissipated. Floret added that the clubs fighting against relegation were competing in the championship at the limit and criticized Vasco for entering a classic match with a mixed team. For him, the Brazilian Championship required seriousness and should not be risked in this way. #Vasco #Futebol #Brasileirão (translated)
