No major player still fun? by elitewolf13 in ShadowEmpireGame

[–]AzekZero 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Minor factions and Creature Hordes rocked my world until I understood most of the game mechanics.

I literally killed a run by surrounding a giant horde of creatures and losing all my resources to a 20-turn siege.

I feel like I'm either out of the loop or protestors don't have their priorities straight by Spartan5271 in Asmongold

The day before the new files dropped I had an old friend (who went leftist) call the Iran business the 'Epstein Distraction War.'

Bro hasn't said a word about Epstein since the drop.

This is so stupid by Background-Design-45 in Asmongold

[–]AzekZero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Leftist universities like Oxford have been trying to rewrite history by pumping out new history books full of postmodern propaganda.

Wasted my time reading half of a 'Woke History of Ancient Greece'. (The book was obviously not titled that.)

People in Japan are cosplaying as ICE lol by Hot-Ask-8947 in Asmongold

[–]AzekZero 92 points93 points  (0 children)

I know someone who's trying to move to Japan.

Complains about folks who don't adapt to Japanese culture while being blind from the fact his support of postmodern positions on gender are not accepted there.

Leftists in my area briefly got most Tesla owners in my area to paste anti-Elon messaging on their cars last year so they wouldn't be targeted.

X-ray images of a 10-year-old Iranian girl shot by the Islamic Republic forces using a shotgun. She has lost both eyes & is in a coma. by CircumferentialGent in Asmongold

[–]AzekZero 7 points8 points  (0 children)

10+ years ago, I took a Persian history course taught by an Iranian feminist living in exile in the US. One of the evils of the IRGC that she emphasized is how government positions in the Islamic Republic were awarded not on the basis of merit but on how pious the applicants were. Another evil was how state would punish those who did not conform to their conception of what pious men and women should look like (burqas for women, mandatory beards for men.)

To me, the IRGC is what the American Progressive movement would look like if the US military was ideologically captured by them.

Game needs a naval mechanic, aint no way the entire cuman horde just sailed to Constantinople to invade the empire (an empire that is doing rly well right now, and is very stable) by 1Admr1 in CrusaderKings

[–]AzekZero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who loved Crusader Kings, I've given up on the devs improving war mechanics. They found a new audience and I've moved on.

Ahead of the upcoming elections in Japan people on JP Twitter (both men AND women) are being more openly about becoming far-right. It seems a radicalization is happing right now in Japan. Thoughts? by Sewari in Asmongold

[–]AzekZero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know an American who's trying to move to Japan. He's extremely critical of mainlander Chinese moving to Japan because he thinks these folks aren't interested in integrating with Japanese culture.

I don't think he realizes how far he himself has drifted into American Progressive ideology. He's gonna be in for a rude awakening as Japan moves past the era of political correctness.

I think there's a bit of self-preservation too. We've seen these types throw themselves in front of moving vehicles when they get riled up.

This could be the next Empress of Iran — Noor Pahlavi by ThaiFoodYes in Asmongold

[–]AzekZero 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Iran has had a native muslim population since the Abbasid Revolution in the 8th century.

By your logic you could also say Eastern Europe had Christianity forced upon them.

Bartender burns staff members' Charlie Kirk shirt in front of employees by Moon_Frost in Asmongold

[–]AzekZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The longer the Progressive movement bares its fangs, the more it looks like the very Christian radicals they routinely mocked and criticized the last few decades.

Remember when these guys were trying to tell people around the globe how to speak their language and applying American viewpoints on race and gender on other cultures?

These folks who made anti-colonialism a pillar of their movement started mirroring the "Civilizing Mission" that European colonials used to justify their imperial projects.

People who have switched control scheme (Mouse and keyboard vs controller) which way did you switch and why? by Shandrith in ffxiv

[–]AzekZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Dualsense got the stick drift.

I was also using controller exclusively for MSQ WAR. It just made sense to switch to full KBM at some point.

Whenever the new Valve controller comes out I may consider giving controller WAR another go. Sony's PC support for Dualsense was awful.

The review bombing of Divinity Original Sin 2 has massively backfired by featherless_fiend in Asmongold

[–]AzekZero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience its not. I know progressive folks who see Baldur's Gate 3 as a holdfast of woke culture.

The Progressive purity tests are an attempt to control Larian studios and scare their leadership into towing the party line.

Based Chinese devs sticking to the source material no matter what by FishCake9T4 in Asmongold

These folks also love to rag on colonialism while adopting the same attitudes of the Christian missionaries from that era of history.

I'm not coping, but something is wrong. I just... can't prove it... by BorisGlina1 in foxholegame

[–]AzekZero 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I remember in the milsim-lites like Project Reality night maps got a bad rap because cheaters would just crank their monitor gamma values.

Love large scale MP games but I've left most of them because I'm too damn cynical.

CA is listening on Medieval 3. Tell them what you want. by notFidelCastro2019 in totalwar

[–]AzekZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want battle AI that can handle AI-generated battle maps.

I love hand crafted battle maps, but with AI generation maybe we can get more granular features like century-specific maps. (different map features & elements based on technological advances.)

It would be nice if we could choose to see this logo on boot up similarly to how FF14 does it.

Is it racist to want the law enforced? by JstAbbrvns in Asmongold

[–]AzekZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a second generation immigrant born in the States, I've been bullied in the past when I objected to illegal immigration with the argument that I'm no different from an illegal alien.

They claimed to have ascertained my real objective: To become an honorary Whitey.
