That was the point of Space Force, this shouldn't come as a shock. This will be a thing in a superpower war if it comes to that.

Gukesh currently #5 at 2783

Champion status shouldn't reflect rating IMO. They measure different things (your ability to perform in the highest pressure tournaments, versus general skill)

He can change this by continuing to win more and lose less. To reflect being #1 he needs to take #1 from Magnus. That is probably the hardest challenge he will face in his career/life.

Depends entirely on if BN retains any stake in the franchise, and if so if they are willing to negotiate with Nintendo on it.

Considering Nintendo, I doubt it.

No, they don't know how to make a quality Monopoly set based off 3rd party franchises anymore, it's always that abbreviated board with cheap cardboard tokens and weird rules.

Maybe a good thing in a weird way, at least in testing? Helps you plan for the unexpected

This Autism has already breached our defenses...

You've seen what it's done to our colleagues!

And worst of all, it could be any one of us...

It could be in this very room! It could be you! It could be me! It could even be-

So you're telling me you abandoned your kids, your greatest personal priority, during a moment of crisis Mr. Vance?

And you think we should trust you with the country?

That's fine, we'll beat the next one too. Fascists be damned.

Radeon HD 6570, bit humble. Still not very powerful, I only have a GTX 950 at best, I don't PC game much these days

There is a lot more to this way than just the hostage situation - Israel has been in control of Palestinian territory for a long time (they consider it theirs) and they have been fighting with the Hamas organization for years now. This is the single worst escalation of it.

Hamas doesn't want peace. The status quo is domination of Palestine under Israel government - erasure of Palestine effectively if they laid down arms and disbanded. They want liberty, and payback for hardships.

There isn't reason to believe Israel will stop the attacks on return of the hostages, as they have gone overwhelmingly above and beyond the total damage done by Hamas (even comparing women and children victims vs. the concert raid that started it all) and given Netanyahu's far right government is at the helm, so your second point has merit.
