Yup, PC, I have to crank down some stuff, but it runs well enough. How big is it? I have the internal memory and a 16GB card (for now) would that be enough or do I need more space?

Define "actively" I played some Warzone before eternal consumed my soul, and I've been thinking about jumping back into Warframe. I want to get into Destiny, but I don't know if there are any new players here, or people who wouldn't mind joining for some early game stuff (unless that doesn't exist anymore, don't know how it works nowadays ).

Business owners in Tamaulipas have said they'll stop paying taxes until the government listens to them. Meanwhile, in Coita Chiapas... They're chasing werewolves. Really. People are saying they have seen/heard a werewolf around town, some have actually grabbed their guns and machetes and gone out at night hunting for the damn thing. Of course they ain't caught shit, but that won't stop them from trying night after night.

Started a playthrough of DOOM Eternal in extra life mode (you run out of lives you have to start the game all over again), close to the end now. Finally managed to get the mastery skin for the super shotgun! \m/ \m/ I thought I'd be able to replay older missions and just farm extra lives there, turns out, this mode prevents you from playing through mission select. I'm sure it warned me about it and I just missed it. Thinking about starting Code Vein afterwards.

DOOM Eternal Mister Jack has already said most of what needs to be said, I'd just like to add: Read the lore, it's METAL AS HELL. \m/ \m/ I've already mentioned the bug I ran into, where mastery weapon skins would not unlock, that's kind of annoying, but ultimately not something that prevents me from loving this game. Can't wait for the DLC. \m/ \m/

With this getting animated, the community is once again going over and over a certain character and their involvement in this stuff, and I can't help but feel I'm among the few that don't really feel the same way. Anyway, with Camelot getting a movie, Babylonia getting and anime and now this, I kinda hope we get something for the Epic of Remnant stuff.

He wouldn't last. First time he wen't against the president he'd be "asked" to leave. In other news, this is going to be a thing: https://heraldodemexico.com.mx/estados/jalisco-pacto-fiscal-federal-obras-en-el-pais-tren-maya-enrique-alfaro/ The governor of Jalisco has said they're considering leaving the Fiscal Pact, what this means is that Jalisco will no longer send what they get from IVA, IEPS, ISR, and other taxes to the federal government, everything will be kept in-state, depending on the reaction from the federal government, worst case scenario is: after several fines, closing of federal offices and more, Jalisco is no longer part of the republic (I mean, worst, WORST, WORST, ideally it should never make it that far). The kicker is, other states have said the same thing, including Nuevo Leon, which, together with Jalisco amounts for pretty much everything that's made and sold here, you name it, manufacturing, food, medicines, essentials, cleaning products, cosmetics, etc. Those two states alone handle so much of Mexico's production that losing them would pretty much be the end of it all. Of course, the plan is not to go that far, simply to get the president to negotiate, what these states want is less spending on stupid shit, more spending on things people actually need*. Nuevo Leon also asks for a better share of what the federal government gives states, given that they're amongst the ones who provide the most tax money while receiving relatively little in return. *Cancelling or postponing the new refinery, the new airport, the train thingy, and some other stuff in favour of more hospitals, maintenance and renewal of the electric grid, improving roads, etc. How this plays out is going to be interesting, under different leadership we'd have a president who would be willing to sit down and negotiate, reach a compromise of some sort and move on. With this guy, who knows how it'll go, here's hoping for the best though!

Reading about this OPEP stuff and man... This is going to be fun. Given how the president said that it was by his decree that fuel prices had gone down, I wonder what'll he say if/when they go back up? In response to the lack of help from the government, the chamber of commerce and the national banks association have decided to draft their own plan, they'll see what to do in response to the pandemic and the lack of support from the federal government. The president of the chamber of commerce called for the removal of the president in 2021, though as I've said, his party controls congress and the senate so that's unlikely to go through.

https://blog.us.playstation.com/2020/04/07/introducing-dualsense-the-new-wireless-game-controller-for-playstation-5/ PS5 controller, DualSense has been revealed, not a fan of the colour, or the fact that it has built-in microphones, but everything else looks cool.

That'd be my main concern as well, what happens if he dies? I don't know enough about politics over there to know how it'll go, just hope it all goes well, if it does come to that. From what I've seen on twitter and some other parts, not many are hiding his disdain for the dude, so, yeah, reap what you sow, just don't take everyone else down with you. Considering El Chapo's lawyer said the cartel has orders to ensure his safety while he's in their territory... The best bet we have is the 2021 election (assuming we make it that far ), if we can remove his party from the senate/congress then there's going to be a real opposition that could just say "no" every time he comes up with some dumb shit. Failing that, well... Who knows how that'll go, resentment and anger is welling up in certain parts, and if he continues this way there's no telling what'll happen, though the pessimist in me thinks we'll just have to endure the whole 6 years, and then try to rebuild from whatever's left after he's gone, IF he wants to go. We can only hope, though I'm sure people will find a way to justify their fantasy of it not being serious, given everything else they've ignored so far, not to mention conspiracy theorists are having a field day with this. As for your second point, who knows. This president has used the good old divide and conquer approach. Everyone that disagrees with him, regardless of background, social status, country of origin, whatever is a "conservative/neoliberal/fifi/member of the mafia of power" that wants to stop his fourth transformation from coming to fruition and therefore wants to destroy the country. His followers eat that shit like there's no tomorrow, and while he's at his lowest approval rate ever, that seems to have no effect on him and his policies, for that's neoliberal data from neoliberal methods (his words). His followers follow suit, completely ignoring the world around them and going after everyone that disagrees. Every president has been corrupt, every single one of them, many don't even try to hide it, but at least some of them did some good stuff here and there to somewhat balance things out, yeah build a house of 200 million and claim it was 500 million so your construction company can pocket the rest, who cares, you also built and renewed some hospitals, schools and roads. Yeah you keep that property bought with tax money, after all, you also created the emergency fund that's meant to keep the country afloat in times of crisis. If this guy did some good stuff no one would care about his pet projects and whatnot, but every "good" thing he does comes with so many strings attached, or with so many baggage or outright negative aspects that it's hard to just let it go. My parents lived through the Echeverria administration and the Salinas circus, and even they agree this guy is pushing it.

You'd think he'd have better access to doctors and other caretakers than most, so the fact that he's in ICU seems quite serious. Hoping for the best. Meanwhile, our president: "3 months ago, before any other government, we were already warning people, telling them to take the necessary precautions, and leaving things in the hands of experts". This dude apparently doesn't know that everything he says is well recorded and can be seen at any time. He insists we all must pay taxes, but that there will be no help for businesses or business owners of any kind, because they are the "neoliberal conservatives" that are to blame for everything. His "republican austerity" measures include: 65 Billion pesos to PEMEX a failing industry, the result of corruption and poor management. But hey, remember that renewable energies are "neoliberal conspiracies" and that only national oil can save us. PEMEX will also receive further support in the form of less taxes, less audits, less fiscal "pressure" the exact thing a corrupt behemoth needs. All grants for arts, sciences, film, culture, etc. Will be absorbed and used to pay for most of his plans. Credit loans to all government workers that go from $794 to $2200 (so... nothing basically, and you HAVE to pay them back). His pet projects, are not only bulletproof, according to him, they will receive increased funding: An 8 billion (that's dollars BTW) refinery that is expected to operate at less than 50% capacity and has destroyed a protected zone An airport that will be constructed inside a military base, because the one previous administrations were building (meant to be the biggest and most advanced in Latin America) is a "neoliberal project" this new one is being built by the army, and it's budget is protected due to it being a "matter of national security". The "Mayan Train" a train that will cross through the Yucatan jungle, an environmental disaster as it'll destroy a huge chunk of the jungle, not to mention the long term effects of a train just passing by (but hey, he has the blessing of mother earth, so it's alright!) In Oaxaca, a politician who is positive for the virus went to a hospital, demanded preferential treatment, and when they denied this, treating him like any other patient (this is a public hospital BTW) he began coughing and sneezing on doctors, nurses and surfaces of the hospital. He then left the place running. Also this: In Tamaulipas, the Cartel del Golfo is delivering food and other supplies to families. In Michoacan, Los Viagras do the same. Aaaaaannnnndddddd.... Just as I was writing this I learned that CANACEM has ordered all concrete plants to close down, because theirs is not an essential activity. Obviously this did not sit well with our glorious leader, who won't allow anyone to tell him his magnificent works are not necessary, so now, per official decree all concrete plants, steel mills and other construction workers and factories are to continue providing services EXCLUSIVELY to the Dos Bocas refinery, the Santa Lucia Airport, the Mayan Train and a handful of other projects that our magnificent, wise and blessed leader has deemed essential. Who needs hospitals, medical supplies, doctors, nurses, or safety when you have a brand new refinery! Right now I'm just hoping that if/when something happens I get isekai'd into the world of Monster Musume.

The closest thing is: Bringing back that stuff for the DLCs would be cool though.

Ran into a bug that's locked me out from getting any of the weapon mastery skins. I have the mods, the upgrades and the mastery stuff in the arsenal, but if I check the milestones those are still locked. Everything else has been fucking awesome so far. \m/ \m/

Well, this is... a video. Turn on captions.

Been working on this for the last few days, took a long time just to get the outline, and as you can see it's still missing a ton of details and proper colour. Still, not bad for me. Original can be found here: https://slayersclub.bethesda.net/en/media#wallpapers A ton of zoom in, zoom out, draw tiny line, zoom in, zoom out, erase, zoom in, draw line, etc. I wish Krita had a better reference image tool.

People from a Axochiapan in Morelos threatened to burn down a hospital along with its director if they accepted any coronavirus patients. The country is living one of its bloodiest months ever and it's likely to get worse over the coming days. The president and his allies keep downplaying everything. Salinas Pliego, one of the richest people in the country and owner of one of the biggest media conglomerates has ordered all their tv/radio stations, web pages, etc. to spread news about how this is not a big deal, that people should go out and work. He's also a close associate of the president. His banks are refusing to help people in any way, on the contrary, they're "asking" people to pay early, lest they incur in serious debt or foreclosure of their homes. ????

Servicio de Administracion Tributaria. In short, the tax office.

"Stay home and listen to Death Atlas" That sounds like a plan! \m/ \m/

So... We're officially in a health emergency, which means that all nonessential activities and businesses are suspended until the end of April (at the very least). The problem from what I've seen, is that they declared an emergency NOT a contingency, which means that all the laws and systems that are meant to protect workers and businesses aren't in play right now, funny loophole that one, eh? So now business owners are asking for help, with taxes, with financial support, with other stuff, saying that many of them apparently don't have enough to keep paying salaries during the time they have to close down. In some cases, this may be true, I know some people who started a small business and they're barely able to keep afloat in normal circumstances, others run small companies that will be hit hard from this. Still, some other companies probably don't have the same excuse. Workers are also asking for help, so far, only a couple of states have said they'll allow people to pay electricity and water at a later date. No word on other help though. SAT is like "we don't have money to help anyone, so ya'll better pay your taxes!" Nuevo Leon has also announced they'll stop sale of alcohol starting on April 3rd, resulting in a ton of panic buying.

Way ahead of you. I don't know how to selfie though...

The governor of Hidalgo, where I live, has tested positive. He was near the president not long ago. Suddenly, the narrative goes from "No big deal" to "Stay at home people, don't go out, this shit is serious, we'll start testing everyone, buying as many tests as necessary, just don't endanger anyone around you!". The president is also refusing any tests, and even got angry when they tried to take his temperature before boarding a plane (he uses commercial flights). ? Some doctors are reporting that several deaths have been marked as "atypical pneumonia" with no tests being performed on the patients. A senator: "We now have to remain home for one month. Unfortunately, there were people who were already staying home, because of irresponsible individuals who instilled fear in them..." The government is the gift that keeps on giving.

IT'S HERE \m/ \m/

DOOM 64 Because you can never have too much DOOM in your life. \m/ \m/ Thought about getting it on PS4, but it turns out the Switch version is way cheaper.

I don't know about e-shop prices over there (is there a way to see this? Web and console only show me Mexican prices), but Fate Extella and Fate Extella Link are 700 pesos each, which is $30 at the current exchange rate. If you like the Warriors games, or games in that style I recommend those. Mind you these are the digital versions, don't know about the physical versions.

DOOM 2016 Hesitated to include this because I had already finished it before, but this is the last of the DOOM games I own since my order of DOOM Eternal got (understandably) delayed, so here it is. It's still awesome, can't wait for Eternal, though I'm worried about how skill-shot focused it seems to be.
