This is NOT a purity spiral
Right, because that’s exactly what people who are not in a purity spiral say.

At this point Putin’s goal is pure personal survival. He needs to not lose the war because that would make him look weak, which is very dangerous for a dictator. To keep himself alive and in power he is willing to throw any amount of Russian soldiers into the meat grinder.
All South Korean male citizens are required to perform 18-21 months of military service.
While this is true, the fact that war would be a bad idea doesn’t necessarily mean it won’t happen. People make bad decisions all the time.
it does seem excessively lurid to suggest, without direct evidence, that they have been raped in captivity for the past several months
But you’re just going to do it anyway?
Okay that’s something. I’d like more, obviously, but it’s nice to hear.
That’s great. Are they actually going to do anything about it?
Actually the battle lines have hardly moved at all since Ukraine withdrew from Avdiivka.

Lol, no one’s putting a gun to people’s heads to make them act bigoted. If your response to being accused of racism is “Oh, yeah? I’ll show you racism!” then you’re just showing your true colors.
Great. That always works out well. /s
Why not make it a full MMO, while you’re at it? Hogwarts Legacy 2 could be the WoW-killer we’ve been waiting 20 years for!
I’m not holding my breath. The idea that work=morality is too strong here. People working fewer hours would be seen as laziness no matter how much sense it makes.
Bastion, etc, are from SuperGIANT Games.
I’m always skeptical of any story about a bill being submitted. There’s a lot of steps between that and it even getting a vote. Is this really newsworthy? Let me know if it gets through committee, then I’ll care.
Anyone remember when they said Putin would never invade Ukraine just because it would be a terrible idea? Turns out politicians make terrible decisions on occasion. We’ll see what happens here.
“IDF said”
I should add that I’m using the GOG version
That might be your problem. For one thing, the tutorial indeed continues after you escape Privateer’s Hold, and among other things, tells you how to fast travel. You are absolutely not intended to walk places on the world map, even though it is technically possible.

“If you play using the “GOG Cut” release of Daggerfall Unity, please consider this version is now almost two years out of date and comes preloaded with dozens of mods. It’s buggy, slow, and completely changes how the game looks and plays. The Daggerfall Unity development team did not assemble the “GOG Cut” release and in no way recommend it to play Daggerfall Unity.”
For reference, the GOG Cut uses version 0.13.5, and you can see on that page that DFU recently released version 1.0.
Playing unmodded DFU, I do agree with many of your criticisms. The game is very punishing, the full tutorial still doesn’t explain many important game mechanics (like the need to rest regularly, or that you really ought to buy a cart asap), character creation is extremely obtuse, and the amount of freedom at the beginning of the game is a bit overwhelming. Still, I found that after I got to a big city, joined a guild, and started doing quests the game starts coming together. I’m still not sure how much I like it, myself, but there’s clearly a ton of depth here, if you’re willing to take the time to learn the systems.
Did you figure out that you’re intended to rest in dungeons to refill your resource pools? That was something of a revelation for me.
Wait, fallout 4 didn’t do the ending slideshow? That’s an iconic part of the series! I’m so glad I stopped buying Bethesda games.
