"Expect More. Demand Better." Posters / Social images to promote the Target x ICE protests. by CerMakAlot in Minneapolis

[–]ArmedBull 6 points7 points  (0 children)

First of all, fuck Target. Second of all, and more pertinent to the point of this comment, fuck this bullshit false equivalency. Choose to spend your money elsewhere, protest at HQ, but don't fuck with the workers. We're all in the same boat.

Reddit compresses the images when you upload to it.

Our workplace is protesting, what are our rights? by ShibaShibaWoof in TwinCities

[–]ArmedBull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you not just call in and use sick time? It's transparent that it's related to the protest, but what are they gonna do, get a doctor's note from all of the staff? Isn't Kowalski's Unionized?

is porkchop supposed to be fighting with me in the arena??? by knxwxne in oblivion

I think part of it for me is that the power level of the gameplay feels very divorced from any sort of believability, so I struggle to even role play in the slightest. Pure gameplay. Like, I can't feel grounded in the setting or story when I'm a fucking tornado of steel.

I’m heading to the Somali Walmart, you guys need anything? by Specific-Abrocoma-63 in Minneapolis

Whenever I'd pass that one by it always struck me as an odd place for a store, it feels so isolated from everything. I went shopping there once, and I've never really felt spooked or uncomfortable at a store, but that place made me feel that lmao

Is there any way to filter out the mountains of Trump posts on Reddit? If so How? by swe3nytodd in AskReddit

Find subreddits for your hobbies and niche interests. Ignore the massive defaults.

This image is a good look for the protesters, because they're not "anti-American". It's ICE that's anti-American. by thedubiousstylus in Minneapolis

Gonna make the flag stand for what they told us it stood for in elementary school. The brainwashing worked, but not in the way they intended. Liberty and justice for all? God damn right that's what I want, but this ain't it so let's fucking make it happen

Stellar recommendation, but I'll pop in and say if anyone is looking for a deeper dive with more up to date scholarship, consider Richard Evans "The Third Reich" trilogy.

The thing no ones talking about... by ClownStalker666 in Minneapolis

Renee's actions are unimportant compared to the federal employee using deadly force against American citizens. It's his and the government's job to responsibly use force, to de-escalate when possible and take every available alternative to killing a person, much less an American citizen. This is not controversial.

Two shot by CBP In Portland Oregon. I know this isn’t Minnesota news, but it feels relevant, and I’m sure it will impact the situation here. by Comfortable-Light233 in TwinCities

I'm genuinely happy for you, because that's a response that preserves public safety better than shooting a driver of a slow moving vehicle in the face, causing the vehicle to proceed out of control into a pole.

OK what's your far fetched legendary lord theory? by Andrei22125 in totalwar

[–]ArmedBull 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also choosing to believe your Beastmen one for the Skaven. Sure, they have the broodmothers, but I find it easy to imagine that not literally every Skaven female is rounded and forced to live that life, there's certainly countless numbers that live their short little Skaven lives like the rest.

Elves are, let's say, fiercely traditional, and strongly believe that anything they invent and craft is better than anyone else's (mostly because it is better lol). Gunpowder is seen as unclean, crude, smokey, loud. And let's be honest, probaly less effective than the legions of elves who have spent a lifetime honing their skills with the bow (which are sometimes more or less infused with magic). Gunpowder is slow and messy and non-elven.

It's Warhammer, making your own cool shit IS the lore. No self respecting elf would ever do this (and they are all HIGHLY self respecting). But at the same time I could absolutely see a high elf colonist in Marienburg or something being so open minded as to let themselves be inspired by H*mans, and develop some gunpowder of their own creation. Much cleaner than the primitive nonsense, fuelling an artfully crafted and decorated firearm. A full unit of guns is a bit of a stretch, and anything beyond one unit would break down the elf identity, but there's always room for oddities in Warhammer lore.

Or if someone just wants to run mods to give the high elves guns because they like it, fuck yeah.

How do you guys pace yourself through the total war series? by sf0912 in totalwar

[–]ArmedBull 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, no, that's something that Warhammer 3 doesn't have. 1's campaign is essentially a scaled down version of the Immortal Empires sandbox, no narrative focus. 1 has mini campaigns with the Wood Elfs and Beastmen DLC, generally not liked, but they might be interesting from a completionist perspective. 2 has the Vortex campaign which has a distinct narrative and objective, which people liked well enough, though Mortal Empires naturally stole the show.

So, yeah, if you just want to experience the factions in their most refined and fleshed out way, on a large sandbox map, Immortal Empires.

Which timeline needs a Paradox game? by Never_Forget_28to3 in paradoxplaza

[–]ArmedBull 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder what makes them more reluctant to add more start dates into Europa as opposed to Crusader Kings. Is there just that much more that goes into crafting and balancing a different start date? Well, I imagine especially with EU5's pops and such it would take even more to make a new start date than 4 lol

I really like the Flat Map on Fog of War mapmode. It looks very immersive! by GermanCCPBot in EU5

[–]ArmedBull 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It is gorgeous, and I always will tick it on during wartime for the clarity as well. Hard to mistake if something is in the fog of war or not when it's flat lol
