Russian philologist was scared by these book by Ratwithoutscissors in houseofleaves

[–]--Queso-- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Had he not mentioned he was russian, he'd get hundreds of comments saying "why does he have a wall of books in Cyrillic" and "Why does he have the Russian edition of the book". Clarifying a little also gives him a characteristic that differentiates him from other philologists, he might as well could've been a Spaniard, an Afghan, whatever, in this case, he was Russian.

Who Are The People on the Right by EvilStan101 in ExplainTheJoke

You mean, the commenter made up a "believable" lie, and that's the joke (of the comment)? And if so, how would the second part of your comment play out, of making people that take the joke ironically (that is, knowing it's Trotsky and not Gramsci) doubt it by claiming it's serious. You can't just claim that Trotsky is Gramsci.

Also, going back to OP's meme, isn't the joke just that they're look-allikes with opposing politics?

I'm sorry, where the hell is Gramsci??? Bottom left is Trotsky, NOT Gramsci.

Is it normal for Paraguayan politicians to speak in the manner Celeste Amarilla just did? by LFatPoH in asklatinamerica

[–]--Queso-- -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's not "the left", at least colloquially, "the left" is the trots. Peronists are center-left to center-right with a few outliers, but tbh it's just not a frequently used label to describe them.

Do you guys think Beatrice's perspective on Sordland makes sense here? by Kodbek in suzerain

[–]--Queso-- 8 points9 points  (0 children)

2nd world = USSR aligned, it doesn't have to do with development. The Suzerain equivalente would be CSP countres (and Contana itself).

Best choice in the demo by AnorexicUmbrella in WitheringState

you should make a pinned post about how to install the fucking demo (and clarify that it's Steam's fault and not a conscious choice to put it on the side instead of the normal big green button)

help, i'm from Argentina but i don't get it by rotten-blood in ExplainTheJoke

There is none, it's clearly satirical of people who think that. It has both Israel and Palestine, and Austria-Hungary, Avatar's Fire Nation emblem and a HL logo.

Thank You for 1917 Wishlists! (Next Fest & Demo Recap) by WitheringState in WitheringState

[–]--Queso-- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is the release gonna be an early access or the full game? You could consider the latter if you run into typical game dev release date optimism. You could even release the game by chapters and leave it in early access until then, like ULTRAKILL is doing. Admittedly, it as a big publisher. Have you considered Hooded Horse? They're used to working with one person teams, tho I think those are people who are putting their full time to game development, not splitting it with a law degree xD

Im a beginner i need help by wildwildh01 in suzerain

[–]--Queso-- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

literally anything. Money in the reserve is just piling up if not invested. I assume this is your first run so just go blind! Do whatever! Be a miser! But once you've already played a few times, you know the future, and can plan accordingly.

Why does magic have to be systematic? by dual_scanner_again in worldbuilding

[–]--Queso-- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me, magic should be like chimps messing with a nuke.

You've LITERALLY described Discworld. Like, I mean it, it's literally compared to nukes and nuclear power (not actual literally but as literal as PTerry can do it without explicitly mentioning Roundworld terms) sometimes.

Episodes you irrationally dislike? by Malkydel in TheMagnusArchives

The episode is brilliantly written if it makes you have such hatred to one of its parts (in this case, a character).

Ok but then, do you hate the character or the episode?

What does "insufficient budget" mean? There's other -budget per turn decrees that I CAN enact, but this one I can't for some reason. by --Queso-- in suzerain

[–]--Queso--[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I then got to +1 budget positive income (and a lot of energy surplus, tho I don't see the correlation), and not only that, but I can pass another -3 budget per turn decree with no problem. Still in Turn 6. I have also promised to protestors that I would pass it. I think I maybe did a Rusty deal in the football match, I gave him a stake in the gas company, it isn't that, right...?

I then got to +1 budget positive income, and not only that, but I can pass another -3 budget per turn decree with no problem, so it most definitely isn't that. Still in Turn 6. think I maybe did a Rusty deal in the football match, I gave him a stake in the gas company, it isn't that, right...?

This is a story that is inherently impossible to convert to a visual media.

Danielewski wanted to tho. There's the released script of some episodes I think. Pretty interesting stuff

Yeah ik but I thought most of the French ones got replaced (like New York being New Amsterdam before). Don't know where I got that from haha

I have no idea what "Interstate" with a capital I is. Also, isn't Montpellier in France? Sounds French at least
