forgot to turn the game back from german for my blm leveling and i have to say, while ger gaius sounds basically the same as eng, the thancred voice actor did a commendable effort to sound a bit more sinister and deranged as lahabrea instead of just sounding like thancred

google translated speech under the cut if you're curious about the differences

Gaius van Baelsar: How do you think you'll do when the weapon unleashes all its energy? Let's find out! Gaius van Baelsar: You shall burn to nothing but smoldering ashes! Hydaelyn: Warrior! Don't bow down before the dark! Your faith in the crystal will pave your way to victory! Gaius van Baelsar: How… How can this be? Gaius van Baelsar: Argh… why doesn't the weapon have any effect? It's… the absolute weapon? Gaius van Baelsar: How can… an adventurer resist it? Lahabrea: By the power of light. Gaius van Baelsar: Lahabrea…! Lahabrea: Your opponent is protected by the crystal he is wearing. Gaius van Baelsar: And this light… gives him his strength? Lahabrea: That's it… Lahabrea: If you want to break through the shield of light, you need an axe of darkness… Lahabrea: And I give it into your hand. The Ultima Weapon's true power, which I have not yet revealed to you… Gaius van Baelsar: True power? What do you mean?! Lahabrea: Even the Allagans only partially understood it's power. At the heart of this weapon is the combined power of darkness: Sabik… Lahabrea: Incomprehensibly powerful magic lay hidden deep within her core for eons. Gaius van Baelsar: What magic?! Lahabrea: Something of incomparable power... The Ultima Magic! Lahabrea: Absorbing the Primals was nothing more than the reclaiming of their inherent power, the realization of their potential. Now the heart of the Ultima weapon beats! Gaius van Baelsar: Lahabrea! What are you getting at?! Lahabrea: I want...to raise the true God. Gaius van Baelsar: What?! Damn you, Ascian! Lahabrea: Unleash your power, Ultima! Let us catch a glimpse of the power of the only God! Lahabrea: Even the deepest pit of the Seven Hells trembles. Stand up! Let dark vortices make known your powers! Be unleashed, Ultima! Lahabrea: Hahahahah! Gaius van Baelsar: T-This massive... energy... was hidden in the Ultima weapon...? Lahabrea: Oh, poor Hydaelyn... You must have had your hands full protecting your hero? Lahabrea: Gaius van Baelsar! Here is the power you longed for. Lahabrea: Now fight! (laha out) Gaius van Baelsar: Lahabrea, you owe me some answers. Gaius van Baelsar: But first let me squash these lice here. Gaius van Baelsar: Well, which one of us will be better now?! (in battle) Gaius van Baelsar: Let us begin... The very last battle! Gaius van Baelsar: Marvel at the limitless power that destroys you! Gaius van Baelsar: That it had to come to this. Well, at least I wasn't wrong... you do indeed have a special gift. Gaius van Baelsar: A gift, but not the power of a ruler! I am the ruler! Born to power! Gaius van Baelsar: What?! The Ultima Weapon? Curse you, Ascian! Gaius van Baelsar: Lahabrea! Do you want to... again? Hydaelyn: The evil spell of chaos and doom... is unleashed once again! Hydaelyn: Feel the light! Don't let the darkness win! Otherwise our future will descend into despair.

From the Freedom Flotilla, April 27 2024:

On Thursday afternoon, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition was contacted by the Guinea Bissau International Ships Registry (GBISR), requesting an inspection of our lead ship – Akdenez. This was a highly unusual request as our ship had already passed all required inspections; nevertheless, we agreed. The inspector arrived on Thursday evening. On Friday afternoon, before the inspection was completed, the GBISR, in a blatantly political move, informed the Freedom Flotilla Coalition that it had withdrawn the Guinea Bissau flag from two of the Freedom Flotilla’s ships, one of which is our cargo ship, already loaded with over 5000 tons of life-saving aid for the Palestinians of Gaza. In its communication informing us of this cancelation, the GBISR made specific reference to our planned mission to Gaza. It also made several extraordinary requests for information, including confirmation of the ships’ destination, any potential additional port calls, and the discharge port for humanitarian aid and estimated arrival dates and times. It further demanded a formal letter explicitly approving the transportation of humanitarian aid and a complete manifest of the cargo. Again, this is a highly unusual move from a flagging authority. Normally, national flagging authorities concern themselves only with safety and related standards on vessels bearing their flag, and are not concerned with the destination, route, cargo manifests or the nature of a specific voyage. Just like when you register your car, the authorities don’t require you to detail to them every place you are going to go with the car. Sadly, Guinea-Bissau has allowed itself to become complicit in Israel’s deliberate starvation, illegal siege and genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. Israel is showing the world the extent to which it will go to deny Palestinians the aid they need to stay alive, in direct contravention of International Humanitarian Law, UN Security Council resolutions, and two orders of the International Court of Justice. [...] without a flag, we cannot sail. But, this is not the end. Israel cannot and will not crush our resolve to break its illegal siege and reach the people of Gaza. The people of Gaza and all of Palestine remain steadfast under the most horrific, unimaginable conditions. We take strength from their incredible, inexplicable ability to maintain their humanity, dignity and hope when the world has given them no reason to do so. It is our responsibility to keep that hope alive. WE WILL SAIL.

The Freedom Flotilla, which was set to depart from Turkey on the 27th of April with 5000 tons of life-saving aid, has now been delayed because Israel and the United States has pressured Guinea Bissau to withdraw its flag from the Flotilla's lead ship.

Seeing as how their tactics worked on Guinea Bissau, organizers now fear that Israel and the US will exert the same pressure on whichever country the Freedom Flotilla attempt to register their ship under next.

To help the Freedom Flotilla reach Gaza, please keep an eye out for further updates from the organizers. Right now, as of April 27th, they're asking people to help boost their visibility, and to donate to their member campaigns.

the legendary 2 cats in a trenchcoat routine

having replayed the first part of drk again but the good version this time, i feel the fact the wol can get a second pair of hands at will from level uh, 80 on?, is severely underrepresented in fics

everyone keeps making angst about briefly possessing your own corpse during combat or summoning a shield of darkness and fear, but what about the sheer hilarity and versatility of TWO OF THEM

the scions tremble before them
