General Chat

This week's News of the World dealt with Russia and dealings abroad in Greenland and Ukraine. They initially cheered when reports were out when US President Trump replied how determined he was to acquire the world's largest island for defense, claiming he was hurting NATO and relations. However, their glee was shortlived as a framework had formed without the US no longer needing ownership, this after the Davos, Switzerland meeting with NATO Secretary Rutte. And though Ukrainian President Zelensky said Post-War security guarantees had generally been ironed out, it is only for after the war and the Kremlin said there will not be any peace until all their territorial demands are met. Still, the first trilateral talks with the US, Ukraine and Russia were finally held after so many stalls to end Russia's invasion of its neighbor. In the United States, all eyes have been focusing on Minnesota. False claims were made of ICE using a child as bait when it was later revealed the illegal alien father abandoned the boy now reunited with his mother. Anti-ICE agitators raiding a church and causing havoc in violation of the FACE Act ('Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act' which protects clinics and houses of worthip), triggered the arrests of Nekima Levy Armstrong, Chauntyll Louisa Allen and William Kelly who led the charge. Alex Jeffrey Pretti became a casualty as he was shot by an ICE agent while resisting arrest and armed with a pistol and two clips of ammunition; though Pretti's gun may have gone off by accident as pundits claim his gun's model is prone firing accidents. All of this, the Trump administration is laying blame on Governor Walz and Mayor Frey of Michigan for inciting protestors. For this, President Trump demands they turn over all criminal illegal aliens currently incarcerated, that police work with federal authorities, and demand Congress pass legislation to end Sanctuary Cities. Violence escalates in Iran as protstors are gunned down. On video, militias are seen cutting down innocents with machine gun fire, this as trucks mounted with heavy machine guns move in convoys as they fire indiscriminately into the streets to suppress anti-regime protesters. hWere are Iran's elite? The wealthiest residents fled to Van, a Turkish province just over 60 miles away from the border. This for no place is safe in Iran as their Security forces raid hospitals, arresting anyone and everyone accused of protesting against the regime, even if they are business owners, lawyers and human rights activists. And all the while, Tehran makes claims that Israeli agents are agitating protestors to lure the US into the conflict. However, Iran has been agitating the US, forcing President Trump to issue firey orders if Tehran even made an assassination attempt. Canadian Snowboarder Ryan Weding arrested in Mexico after years on the run for drug trafficking charges, Japan scrambling jets to intercept Russian Bombers in response to its new US made Typhon Missile system, a hoard of Roman-era silver coins and precious metals recovered in northern Germany, New York Mayor Mamdani insulted liberal white women on "The View" while simultaneously condemning home ownership, sports fans in Australia demand a reporter fired for baiting American players with political questions targeting the US president, the Dow dramatically surges after the Greenland framework announcement, and more hit this week's news.

While the main functions of Ah-sung's Paperdoll works, DerVVulfman received a report that new characters added or remove had graphic issues when the paperdoll system is used while combined with Fukuyama's classic Train Actor caterpillar script. For this, DerVVulfman crafterd a patch which immediately appies the spritework on the fieldmap when the party gains a new actor.

Though your game's hospital staff may be filled, two more prospective doctors have Various RMXP sprites by Ace_V. But for how long will these two stay before they head out to White Castle? Based upon Harold and Kumar, you now have a lighter toned doctor with straight rising hair and a doctor with darker complexion and hair parted on the side.

Music and Audio

The sixty-second composition by DoubleX has arrived, and awaiting audiences within his vaulted Music Room. Entitled Completely Ruined, the piano work at the beginning expresses labours or deeds being wrought while a subtle play with stings and tom beats intrude, a means to suggest how one may not know that something is amiss from the start. Then came the use of a chorus replacing the piano symbolizing the realization that all the hard work was for naught, a feeling of distress for time and life spent.

Art and Design

While not one of the original characters within her gaming universe's landscape, the Trustworthy Heroine is a fan favorite and has once more entered Remi-chan's Neato Arty thread thing!. The veritable action heroine Einstein of Kangaroos, Tristy has been an active hero in Remi's 3.14 universe since Autumn, 2016, brandishing her trademark Techee-rang as she did those years ago when she faced the unimaginable, with even death being an inconvenience to her goal.

Well, that's it for this week.
