Thanks for doing some homework on behalf of lil ole me!

Got a link to the quoted article, by chance?

Ah Paradox is finding their model of releasing unfinished games and getting around to solving it later less appealing!

That is a little disappointing, actually, as Paradox made some damn good games this way. Crusader Kings 2, Hearts of Iron 4 and Stellaris were all made like that.

With their actions in Lebanon? Ugh, you might be right…

“May you live in interesting times”, eh?

Thank goodness the program told me I have value after Tyler stopped replying once I showed him my asshole.

That marks the start of World War 3 tho

I would like some loose change, Mr. President

I thought we weren’t allowed to use cluster munitions?

Buddy if I buy Panther Marten lures off Ali Express or from Dicks they come from the same factory in the same packaging at the same quality, but one costs $1.12 and the other $7.99.

It’s being manufactured in China anyway, I’m just avoiding the beak wetting Dicks and Walmart do to pay their shareholders.

Plus it ain’t like the US actually has any qualms with slave labor, just look at all the industries that take advantage of prison labor in the States.

Bullshit! I wanna buy cheap fishing gear for a tenth of the cost at Dicks.

Better get some rods and reels en route before this goes into effect.

Sec scenes are common in modern games?

Y’all I’ve been big into Armored Core 6, Stardew Valley and Factorio lately what have you been up to?

Edit: I’m being flippant, the idea that an actor could have such a thing sprung on them is awful and I hope they get the protections they deserve.

Yanno that’s a good question, I do think if the USA says something about the internal politics of a South American country I tend to believe the opposite is closer to the truth.

I’m not saying I trust Maduro or anything, but the US making a statement makes me very suspicious about the truth of that, just based on history.

The US weighing in removes credibility to the claim that the election was tampered with.

No, I’ve just seen this kinda thing happen again and again, specifically with Venezuela. Sadly, the nation is getting used as a political battleground, so of course America and its allies are on one side and their rivals on the other.

Plus, the US has a long dark history of meddling in the politics of South American countries, this is absolutely the kind of thing it does to extert power.

I’m on an instance that doesn’t allow downvotes and it kicks ass.

But people are goldfish when it comes to politics. They forget how the US tried to secretly arm groups supporting Juan Guaido so they could put him in charge like just a few years ago.

The US wants to open Venezuela’s natural resources, particularly lithium, to the West.

The USA has tried to make coups happen in Venezuela like half a dozen times or more over the decades, I just cannot trust anything America says about the internal politics of Venezuela.

Not that it matters what I think, America will do whatever the fuck it wants.

This is a surreal thing to see. I still don’t quite believe it’s real and seeing more evidence it is, makes me question reality.

The Pope and the Church aren’t friendly to the LGBT community?

Color me shocked!

I think you should try it. I think an hour is appropriate for a lot of the story beats if you have a decent memory, though maybe an hour and a half would be better suited to some of the more involved parts. A lot of this is affected by your reading speed. There’s a lot of reading.

For what it’s worth, I also played it in bursts, but probably something like 2 hr sessions. There’s a lot of rough, serious material in that game and I found it a lot to process at once, so I took breaks between sessions fairly often.

I’m not so sure I’d call myself a “tankie”, but I’d like a $12k new car and if it were an EV, even better. I recently paid more for a used car! Cars, like everything else, have gotten so stupidly expensive. It would have been nice to see one thing actually become more affordable because I know wages ain’t gonna increase accordingly for a long time.
