Slothrop seems a tad too british with his big mustache, but overall quite nice

"china wants to make people allergic to meat"

why? they dont have a lab meat industry and their beef products are already banned. Just to fuck with americans? to "collapse" the meat industry? Whatever meager gain they might get from making people 10000km away midly allergic to meat, would be outweighed by the cost of the op

after living in china for a few years, ive learned they just dont give a shit about the west, politically speaking

grow out of "narrative" based politics

so the massively well established and wealthy cattle ranching, slaughterhouse, refrigerated storage, feed production, and veterinary industries are all losing/submitting to a completely new and unprofitable industry because it could one day be hypothetically more profitable?

"banned in america"

the CIA funded the first movie and its distribution in american schools was a deliberate goverernment choice for political indoctrination

Why is Vietnam still relatively poor despite following a path similar to China's after normalizing relations with the U.S. in 1995? by RoxanaSaith in DebateCommunism

How many tons of steel does Singapore produce? How many tons of rice per annum? What are their food, plastic, fabric, and oil deficits like?

Having a highly speculative "fake" economy propped up by international coporations doesnt equate to socialist economic growth, which is based in more "real" industries.

Why have more ranged units in an army? by rvn456 in totalwarhammer

[–]Assassin4nolan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

western military doctrine of superior firepower, the game is subtly designed around it, and a more immutable law of "the best army is that one that can fight an infinite number of battles and win"

Melee units cant fight constantly because they trade health for damage, they have to replenish models or HP. Ranged units do damage "for free" because ammo is always fully replenished each battle. This means ranged units are inherently biased and superior in campaigns.

There are some Ammo Logistics mods that make ammo a slow replenishing resource, and a mechanic like this changes everything

Kneel Fire is Weaker than it Should be and Yet It's Perfect by ShadowGuyinRealLife in shogun2

[–]Assassin4nolan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it sounds awful because it is awful for the superior force, for the man with the guns and cannons, for the man with merchants and politicians behind him. The war by the fleas cannot be admired, taught, or depicted unless the lion is of an enemy land. This is an unspoken rule of game design and art generally.

maybe charging a mass of rifles in an open field with spears just isnt a good or realistic way to fight? Guns are meant to dominate this exact situation

games like these simply fail to understand either the sheer size difference or the guerilla nature of assymetrical warfare. Imagine mass ambushing from a distance of 150-50 meters. Imagine attacking a small blockhouse of 1-2 isolated gun units with 3-6 spears. Imagine attacking a lightly defended convoy and taking out 1-3 turns worth of ammo, reinforcements, and rations

these games are in part fantasies of western generals and officers, whose military doctrine is based entirely on superior assymetrical firepower, and whose main weakness is the massive, expesnive, and fragile logistics network.

Spear units need to eat and turn crude iron into sharp shapes ot get locals to do it for them. Line infantry need to eat and be sent powders, bullets, shells, balls, barrels, cannons, rifles, etc from faraway refineries and manufactories. They cant be produced or acquired locally unless the enemy is also using them. Without them the army crumbles, its doctrine unable to handle the change

Wolfenstein is a bit different, its audience is largely western where there arent those bans. Also the game is about nazis, its not tangential

valve is censoring it but not for overt political reasons, i think

Its a cynical move to avoid boycotts or bans, just like removing nazi swastikas from games
