I only use praxis irl to piss off other people who use it, like when I tell people that smoking is praxis that builds class consciousness when I bum them to people

if you dump the garbage down river, the people in Cities:Skylines will continue to drink it up

they only seem to care about their commute

You have to dump garbage upriver to affect their water supply. Doi.

Anyway all I want out of Maxis/Firaxis is an HD edition of Alpha Centauri, and all would be forgiven.

Not at all. Civ. Beyond Earth isn't even properly a spiritual sequel because its factions are built around actually existing nationalities instead of ideologies. All the ideological world building is sequestered into an off-game wiki, and it's just not a very good game to begin with.

IIRC the rights to Alpha Centauri are split between too many parties to agree on doing anything else with the franchise, so an Alpha Centauri sequel or remake are practically impossible.

You got your good things
And I've got mine
Did Maxis make that one plastic army men game? I remember that being pretty sweet.

Also, I've only read the last page and scanned the OP, and for some reason PSL is the main link they have? Is this a Tankie-specific thread, or is the OP just a Tankie?

I can't even deny that there's a fair amount of blanditude, but the game scratches so many itches for me. It really needs some punching up though, for sure.

This was originally a thread for PSL that just became the generic leftist/tankie/salty about DSA thread

Maybe after 4 more expansion packs it'll be good

I dunno never played neither, why don't they just do a "spiritual sequel" like everyone else who can't get a hold of a specific IP they want to work with? :thunk:

On a side note, video games are the opium of the masses and we should steer away from them imho, that's my praxis right there :colbert:
