Albinator posted:I mentioned this at the end of the last thread, but that obviously non-local-accent-having person may have been living there for decades. Once you've been there that long, having it as the first question you get when you meet someone new is tedious. I do recommend finding something better. First question certainly not. If I don't even know you're name I'm not gonna narrow my eyes and hiss-whisper "Geordie?"

Victoria 3 designer on why communism is OP: 'We just implemented the mechanics the way we understood them'quote:In the month since the release of Paradox Interactive's latest grand strategy game, Victoria 3 (opens in new tab), some players have struggled with one persistent issue: The communists are right. As entrenched conservative interests in their 19th-century nations prevent modernizing reforms—you know, like abolishing slavery—players start to rail against landowners, exploitative capitalists, and the Petit Bourgeoisie in rants that could have come from Marxists a century ago or today. woke video games

Kind of, you get embargoed by lots of people and probably also declared war on.

On the one hand I don't really like paradox grand strategy or their general development model of flogging you countless expansions. But on the other hand from what I've seen of vicky 3 it really does look like if you just implement a lot of the actual material pressures in a capitalist society, you end up at "communism imba plz fix" lol

Aside from that, they also seem to be backporting modern ideas associated with the ("woke") intelligentsia and applying them to their historical counterparts. Which is how you get the people who who came up with scientific racism to support a multiculturalism that's so effective as a policy that racism actually ceases to exist.

Political capital is expended by taking positions and actually doing things. The way to win at politics is to hoard political capital like Smaug until you retire from politics and all the political capital is instantaneously converted into real capital via sinecure directorships

Tesseraction posted:Yeah, definitely asking "where are you from" getting an English town and going "yeah no where are you really from, Negroid" with the italics part silent but audible, that's a different ball game to "ah nice, and what's your family heritage?" and if they aren't happy to say then shutting the gently caress up. As a non white person I hate this question because the my non-white mother is estranged from her family to the point I my grandmother was dead to her even while she was technically alive and I never met her once. So even when it’s asked in a well meaning way from someone who wants to talk about rich heritages or whatever I just have absolutely nothing to add. I feel like I’m supposed to say something interesting about the place but I got nothin. massive spider fucked around with this message at 15:21 on Dec 4, 2022 |
