Anti-Face Weapon

That would lose the high ground in a very important way. Calmer minds may yet prevail, if we are fortunate.

Look up project brutality or brutal doom. Those are great doom mods with a lot of fun gameplay. I used to play that for hours.

The Anno series is pretty cool. It’s like playing crack. I’ve been playing 1800 recently and it feels like an instant classic.

The elder scrolls games are great for this. The further back you go the more replayability there is IMO. Morrowind is goated.

Dungeon keeper 1&2 are both a lot of fun, and have lots of custom maps. The original dungeon keeper even has a full engine rewrite which is really good.

If you want to try map painters, Crusader Kings 3, EU4, and Victoria 3 are all excellent and in depth games, with a lot of replayability stemming from all of the different ways to build up your nation in the sandbox.

Rimworld, dwarf fortress, etc. Have fun!

It’s really not as complicated as you might think. If you just start playing you will understand the basics very quickly. The game also mostly drip feeds you the new mechanics as you play and unlock them, and you start with a single planet so it’s not overwhelming at first.

The only thing that gets really complicated in my opinion are the ship armament matchups. But if you autogenerated or specialize your ships you don’t need to know much about it, just look up a basic fleet comp for numbers of frigates, destroyers, etc.

The only time that really matters is if you’re taking on the end game crisis or sleeping empires or whatever, because specializing your craft against that threat will give you at least double your fighting efficiency or more. Feels fucking awesome.

I recommend you dont play a hivemind or robots on your first playthrough. I really enjoy interacting with the different species and cultures as my civilization expands, and you can do that with an iron fist or with an open hand.

These numbers should be taken with a grain of salt, and the fog of war makes exact numbers fuzzy regardless. The ballpark should likely be accurate though.

That is an insane amount of tanks destroyed. Wow.

Yes! Why did it take them so long?

If the US pulled out of NATO, Russia would not have the resources or ability to attack NATO.

Things are changing, if slowly. People are paying attention, and they are pissed at Biden.

I’m afraid that in our current political system, voters would get a fresh choice of candidates who would probably still send weapons to Israel. Somehow we need deeper political change.

I guess he litterally sending both drones and bombs, but I meant that Trump would order a direct strike. But you’re right, that’s not much different in the end, is it? The main difference is that Biden maintains some plausible deniability. “WE didn’t kill anyone! We didn’t know they would use these tools for genocide!”. Maybe in some sense that IS worse.

Biden isn’t sending drones to bomb Palestine, to my knowledge. I’m saying that Trump would do that. If Trump were in power, it would probably be worse.

Not to excuse Biden, and his complete apathy for this ongoing genocide. It is unexcusable, and no one who tolerates genocide should be allowed anywhere near politics.

There are a lot of reasons to be suspicious about trump when it comes to colluding with foreign powers, and there is even some evidence. I agree that people often take it too far, into the conspiracy theory territory. But I don’t think it’s quite comparable with QAnon, either in feasibility, or in scope, or in the problematic effects that it may have.

Also, the American system is, at best, only semi-democratic. The politicians are the ones who determine who is in power, much more than the people who actually vote. Are the citizens really responsible for what politicians we have? Am I responsible, as a man who votes conscientiously, who has campaigned during important elections, and yet does not have any real influence in who gets elected? Is the average person, who is just barely getting by, really expected to change the system by themselves?

We need systemic change, but we have no class consciousness, and we are not likely to get there. These facts are manipulated by the people in power.

Trump would probably bomb the shit out of Palestine.

Honestly, most mid range phones are not built to last. When I spend hundreds of dollars on a phone, it needs to last for years and years.

We are never done

The reason the m4 is a smaller cartridge is that its predecessor had serious over penetration issues. Ideally the bullet will stop inside of the victim.

The XM7 will have seriously worse performance due to over penetration and other ballistics, not to mention heavy and limited ammo. Maybe it will fare better against armor, which would be good in a hypothetical matchup with a comparable enemy, but that is unlikely to occur any time soon.

Yeah. It’s stupid and crummy, but it’s a new key to bind. But then again, have you ever really used the context menu key? I have not.

That is so true. I never thought about that.

CMUS! I’m surprised more people aren’t using this. It’s very cool, ultra lightweight, and easy to use. Maybe I just like stuff that runs in the console.

Fair enough. I disagree about it being worth spending money on like that, but your opinion is very well thought out, and I respect your position. To be honest 7 dollars is a pretty reasonable price. Thank you for sharing!
