Just like Balbagan from Infinite Undiscovery! JUNE 30TH, 2009: Why can’t we revive fallen party members? Diggs looks like a Viking mole, and I think he’s really cute. This game could have given you more of the awesome earlier on. JUNE 2ND, 2009: Why in the name of heck can’t we escape in this game? I discovered that characters can learn new skills during battle! I’m quite disappointed that several of the “main” characters are wimps! With that in mind, the VGJs I’ve enjoyed the most are Soul Nomad and the World Eaters and Silent Hill: Origins. But not all games, and therefore, all VGJs, are created equal. Have VGJs made me happier? To some degree, yes. Some gamers may be happier if they did VGJs. But there are good elements of the system that defeat the weirder parts. Mainly, it has to do with the not-really-real-time battle system. TLR has some elements that don’t make sense. He figures that if he can find three things, they may jog his memory. In unrelated (possibly) news, we have an ongoing quest with Jorgen, an amnesiac.

The spiritual oasis was home to an estimated 40,000 unofficial residents – monks and spirituality seekers – before the extensive destruction of the area and expulsion of a large number of monks since 2016. ![]() The anti-slaughter movement first emerged around 2000 from the Larung Gar Buddhist Academy, famous from photos of its red-roofed shacks dotting a treeless alpine valley in the Garzê region of Sichuan. The sentencing last June of 10 Tibetans, including two monks, to jail terms of between eight to 13 years and fines of up to £7,000 each for trying to block the construction of a commercial slaughterhouse in Sangchu, Gansu province, has largely silenced discussion coming out of Tibetan areas about anti-slaughter beliefs. ![]() The anti-slaughter movement is declining due to increased surveillance and repression that criminalises Tibetan identity Katia Buffetrille, anthropologist “My impression is that the movement is declining as a result of increased surveillance and repression that criminalises any movement asserting Tibetan identity,” says Katia Buffetrille, a French anthropologist and Tibetologist who has been travelling to Tibetan areas for more than three decades.
