  • According to the article:

    But a former British Army munitions expert, who asked not to be named, told the BBC the pagers would have likely been packed with between 10g and 20g of military-grade high explosive, hidden inside a fake electronic component.

    I don’t know what the actual truth of the situation is, but something’s fucky. I can’t imagine how Israel could plant explosives in those pagers. And overheating batteries would burst into flames rather than literally explode, so that would probably be mentioned somewhere.

    Israel’s doing lots of fucked up shit lately, but I can’t see how this one would be their fault.















  • And also the concept of your collection of souls being recoverable from your last point of death.

    I know the “death bag” mechanic had been done before, but the disappearing cache is a core element of Soulslike gameplay that has been repeated so many times since then. It adds a sense of urgency and FOMO to the recovery of your stuff. If you die again, it’s gone for good.
