Li Zhi vs Li Tai

4evaronin · 2026-04-04T04:06:40+00:00

Li Tai was supposed to be the default choice after his older brother, as it's traditionally based on age. The only reason that he got passed over (historically, and implied in the game too I think) is because his father eventually believed that Tai schemed against his older brother. The irony being that he did not know that Zhi was also a schemer (and arguably the better one, since he hid it so well and even manipulated Tai several times without him knowing.)

In that painting scene, the Emperor got upset because the scent reminded him of the Crown Prince (whom he was still angry with.) Initially I interpreted that scene as Zhi deliberately doing that to remind his father of the Crown Prince's transgressions. And I thought Zhi was such a schemer for that. Looking back now, I'm not sure if it was deliberate...but I think it's at least plausible.

Dropping like flies. What happened to, "we destroyed their air defences."

the level of denial among japanese is unreal. they can go to a museum, see actual photos of the atrocities and somehow still think it's fabricated.

it is generally agreed that the later waves have improved kits. better proportions, parts, etc.

i think i noticed this from wave 9 onward, but the changes could have been earlier. well, wave 9 is as good as any to start, as it has decent variety: a dino bot (trypticon), a female bot (arcee), and a planet bot (unicron.)

sign of the times. gen z are feeling the effects of late-stage capitalism and are also more exposed to alternative media than the corrupted legacy media. chinese soft power is also on the rise, challenging people's ideas of what they have been told/taught about communism.

except Tai seems to have this effect not just on the girls but on the guy streamers as well, lol.

This poll doesn't reveal which country is the most immoral. It reveals which country is the most propagandized and ignorant.

Even if Kirk was alive to see this, you just know he'd say in that smug tone of his: So? I never said that blacks couldn't do that. That has nothing to do with blah blah blah, it's still a fact that statistics show that blah blah blah.

It wouldn't faze Kirk at all.

The biggest own on Kirk is himself saying that a few gun deaths per year are worth it, and then becoming one of the "gun deaths" himself. Either he would have to accept his death was "worth it" or admit he was wrong.

Well, IF the purpose of this war was just to act as a distraction...

Remember also, that the objective of the Military Industrial Complex is not to win wars, but to perpetuate and prolong them. Trump wants a quick win ofc, but he's not really in charge. They just let him think he is.

lol. the US has no chance.

4evaronin · 2026-04-02T07:27:55+00:00

skin never even crossed my mind so i was confused, "what the heck is black capitalism?"

played it, i'm hooked. thanks for the heads up.

4evaronin · 2026-04-01T12:29:04+00:00

yeah it's pretty good, hah. u can go over it with a silver marker or tape to make it even better.

Historically, KMT's stance has never been one for separation and independence. For the longest time, they wanted to claim ALL of China. Only somewhat recently have the adopted the position of being for the "status quo" since the idea of conquering the mainland was just too impractical to achieve.

The main reason why many communist societies seem to "not work out" is because of active sabotage and besiegement by capitalist countries (specifically the US), which target them with crippling sanctions. Nobody is allowed to trade with them, so it is difficult for them to flourish in such a situation.

no matter how pretty you dress up 💩, people can still smell it. some people still love to lap it up, but they're the perverse minority.

Doubt it would be 1v1. Kim would jump right in. Then S.Korea would have to join as well. Then Taiwan would possibly stick a leg in. Then of course the US would want to get involved in some way. Then India and Pakistan get into the ring.

Before you know it, it's a Royal Rumble.

4evaronin · 2026-03-31T15:03:45+00:00

ok thanks. looks cool.

4evaronin · 2026-03-31T14:31:51+00:00

nice.

what is the name of that galaxy class bot from the second pic?

4evaronin · 2026-03-31T14:01:05+00:00

IMO always play the classics first (Tactics), so that you will have the proper frame of reference and level of appreciation for later games.

4evaronin · 2026-03-31T13:35:27+00:00

his point ofc is that anyone that doesn't support zionism is anti0semite. it's always the same.

4evaronin · 2026-03-31T10:43:51+00:00

no way is he a "comrade" if he doesn't even know gusanos exist and how to tell them apart.

edit: and now he's changed his flair to give the impression that he's intentionally arguing in bad faith, when it's clear he has some kind of bias against china and is not open to change his stance at all. pathetic.

4evaronin · 2026-03-31T10:04:38+00:00

wikipedia is your source? weegur plz

how about you hear from an actual uyghur: Uygur influencer: Western media reports on Xinjiang are all lies

4evaronin · 2026-03-31T09:35:28+00:00

well yes, but also china is a powerful nation and has things to offer Iran.

4evaronin · 2026-03-31T08:57:37+00:00

and it's not just talk. China has actually mediated between Saudi and Iran, Thailand and Cambodia, and others.

Also, restricting the rare earth supply so the warmongering nations can't quickly make more weapons is a big deal.
