Had my first encounter with the Heart of the Spire today. It did not go very well :DD It was my first successfull Watcher run, so I have "ascended" (not sure if it counts without defeating the heart) every role one time now. Have to say every class is fun to play, they did a decent job designing this. Also with the experience from other classes I have to replay Ironclad, I wonder if that will feel different now with the experience from the other classes under the belt.

>She died in WC2, right? Sadly, I not get far in WC2 yet.

Yeah, she did, she committed sudoku in the Heaven's Gate-mission when she crashed her fighter into a Kiltathi base, because she believed her fiancee was held captive and tortured there.

>I not get far in WC2 yet.

I also struggled a lot with WC2, I think it is considerably more difficult than WC1. The fact that I played it on PC and that the rendering sometimes stuttered didn't help either.

>and at least in edition I played added voice acting that for me changed personality of main hero

There's a voice acting version of WC2? Or do you mean WC3 with the movie elements, where Mark Hamill played Blair? Also: Based Tom Wilson who played Maniac, same guy who played Biff in Back to the Future, and he did a great job both times!

>And whole plot start: destruction of tiger claw, nobody belives our hero it was not him, and then passed 10 years - It was kind of weak in my opinion and lame

Yeah, that sucked. All that fighting to save the claw, just that it gets destroyed off-screen. Kinda de-valued everything you did before.

>I think first canonical death was Bossman in Secret Missions 2? It was kind of out of nowhere but welp, this happens in real war all the time.

Could be, yes, I think no one dies in WC1, although it was kinda hard to keep Maniac alive, because he was shit :DD In WC3 he actually was decent, despite never doing what you told him. So it was just "break and attack" every single time.

Also: I can't even describe how much it rustles my jimmies that everytime I google for "WCx something", I get only results for Warcraft games. This is just wrong!

>Are you sure that's not just selection bias based on your dad's educational and class background?

lul

> I don't know why any of us bothers trying to talk directly to some American considering there's only a handful of us here but it's routinely wrong and the assumed person is somebody else.

lol I am not RAC. Wait a minute are neither one of us RAC? Lol.

Anyway these were just my personal observations out of a very small pool and yes indeed it could be that partly because of educational biases however I would also like to point out that the Indians acting trashy I have observed have been just as likely to be educated and like I said they act like they have a chip on their shoulder or something. Desi girls are awesome btw. As a white dude who knows next to nothing about these living cultures and probably I'm just adding fuel to the fires here north Indians or whatever they are actually do look pretty Aryan in the Persian sense to me whereas south Indians--the ones who act like everyone is dirt beneath them almost in a caste sense for having climbed the US citizenship hierarchy--look much more like idk some kind of Polynesians or non-Asiatic looking Pacific islanders.

But like you said it could be just because half my interactions were in college so it's biasing me towards Desi types and well educated Pakistani men, including one friend I'm thinking of in particular who had this really sauve almost like idolizing a James Bonde villain tier thing going on where he clearly appreciated Western culture although in retrospect I suppose part of what I found so likeable was the fact he had a lot of supreme arrogance in the educational sense and it wasn't being directed at me. There is a difference between like an IT professional or intellectual or scientist being arrogant because he knows he's surrounded by a bunch of dumbasses, and class or identity or other arrogance where it's totally unfounded and directed outward and you're just being an ass. That one friend for example even if he was a little arrogant was extraordinarily polite and well mannered, as opposed to some south Indian technician who clearly expresses how shit he thinks everyone else is.

You can, in short, reign in your own base proclivities and that is what's known as having class. It requires a certain amount of restraint and self awareness.

I'm also really confused and curious as to why Indians loathe ice water. They act super offended when you give them water with ice cubes in it. Clearly I am speaking from multiple different perspectives and positions in life here despite the fact I've not personally known a ton of Indians and Pakistanis but have interacted with them enough at enough points in my life to start forming some anecdotal pattern recognition, which is an unfortunate perceptual bias

I am also really sad to have seen one store in the area go down. That old man was super nice but he lost his business for some reason and I always deliberately went there and only there for mu tobacco until he was forced to shut down for whatever reason.

Pretty nice of them to "remedy" this issue after two fucking months during the fucking enrolment procedure, but whatever.
I'd have been pretty fucking mad if I failed to enrol because of an undiscovered bureaucratic error. (That slipped past like three layers of bureaucracy.)

I woke up at 8 o' clock and had a small breakfast and then just lounged around the house. My sister went to pick up her new textbooks, and after she left, I immediately set to make lunch, only to find it's still only 10 o' clock.
So I went and picked up my package. They misspelt my name on the package. I guess it happens when you have a long name with a slightly archaic spelling.

I think I now own every book of interest from this press. (Except for maybe their Mongolian-Hungarian dictionary, but I'm not particularly interested that much in the Mongolian language as of yet.)
Got a copy of the Bhagavad-gita, a collection of Chekhov stories, a small collection of Mongolian myths, two short poetry volumes by the Japanese poet Ryokan, a book on Ming-era furniture, and a small volume of travel sketches from two Hungarian poets who travelled to Shanghai in the 1930s. I've never heard of Zoltán Nyisztor, but Sándor Weöres is probably one of my favourite poets. He's one of the best 20th century poetry has to offer. He was also a prolific translator, and his translations of Chinese poetry and the Daodejing, both of which he made with the help of now legendary Hungarian Sinologists are still widely read today.
I had no idea he ever visited the far-east.
Apparently the two poets were on the same boat at the same time, both of them writing their own travelogue. (Weöres knew that Nyisztor was on the boat while Nyisztor didn't acknowledge Weöres's presence, because as a radically conservative Catholic he probably cared little for an up-and coming poet publishing in a liberal/reformist journal like Nyugat. At least this is what I gather from the afterword.)

Autumn is just around the corner. At least based on the constant, gentle wind that I feel and see whenever I go outside.
I'm going to miss reading in the garden.
