The enemy operates like Orks in W40K where killing the Warboss causes them to all turn on each other

This one NPC has more personality than entire holds in Skyrim.

I assume the light red indicates coups as opposed to outright military invasions (but even then, there should be a lot more of that in that case).

Also, border conflicts aside, China literally invaded Vietnam for the crime of overthrowing their puppet butcher in Cambodia. It also invaded South Korea, regardless of how justified that was or wasn’t. Not sure why that’s omitted since it’s still a massive discrepancy between China and the US.

AT-TE vs AT-AT be like

Tolkien doin cartwheels in his grave

I’ve never felt the need to watch a game stream until now.

Temple of Dibella, you mean? Or maybe you meant the Witch Covens.

People liked SAII for the “gritty” story but honestly I remember III the most for just going off the rails in a way that was unique from GTA.

Game was a lot more ambitious (and lewd) on the drawing board. There used to be a “Prostitutes” faction that was canned (alongside other minor factions representing professions that the player could engage in, like Bards and such) but the sprites (NSFW ofc) were left in the final release in random locations just because. Some of them made sense (like in Inns and Temples of Dibella) but others were… just there.

I still love the Daggerfall we got (the later versions cleaned up on UESP and released in Unity particular) but I sometimes wonder about what could have been.

Billions must read

Kinda gross (and expected) to see libs turn into mask-off “Not Stolen; Conquered” ethnonationalists whenever they try to reduce this situation into a “war”. Deep down they understand that nothing has fundamentally changed from the days when Imperialism was just taking off, but their solution is to just shrug their shoulders and act indifferent while trying to gaslight those who want better things.

Just save yourself the headache and get the Survivalist’s rifle, smh.

Saw a lot of the whiny gamer bros calling her a “bitch” for that exchange early on where she shuts down Carlos’ flirting.

Also, from some preview footage, for the crime of being rude in general to Carlos and Vladimir initially, two mercs working for the “We Love to Turn Children into Flesh-Eating Zombies for Giggles” Ltd.'s paramilitary.

Damn, I wonder what’s her problem…

As someone who’s also a fan of SS (both of them), Selaco does have a lot of ImSim elements even if it isn’t one itself.

Resident Evil 5 is good fun

Even when discounting indie games, Largely yes. There have been many great games in recent years that will be looked back on just as people look back at the “golden age” today. People are just forgetting all the horrible aspects of past generations, like the literal tons of garbage game released for the Atari or the tie-in license games which outnumber today’s by a large margin. Hell, quite a few series that were floundering back then have been on a renaissance lately (Resident Evil, DOOM).

That said, I really miss when RTS games (aside from maybe Total War?) were still relevant.

Your sound cards. Hand them over.

Still boggles my mind that Frank Klepacki was making bangers like this in his late-teens and early 20s.
