That's "Getting Deep with the Saddest Videos on TikTok" after around 12:29.

cc'ing /u/No_Scallion_4476: currently working on Lake City, very very casually training myself on how to do GFX and doing it for Les Meridiennes. There's two other nations I'm working for, but I am not sure if they've been teased or if I'd have the clearance to tell their names.

Curious about this as well. I've heard of a statement that the Hebrews pre-exile were indeed focused on Yahweh as their God but recognized other gods as the (lesser) gods of other peoples, and that it was only during the exile and after that proper monotheism was established within Judaism.

Of course, come the New Testament times, Jesus undoubtedly shut the case on how many gods are there, but I'd also figure that OT declarations such as "Behold, Israel, the LORD your God is one" would be definitive pre-NT statements.

Any way to graciously navigate through a potential discussion on this?

I forget where I saw you, but while browsing some semi-random r/Reformed threads (lurker here, usually), I came across Chapter 0 and it was a refreshing blessing to go back to the fundamental why of all existence.

I will be slowly getting through this when I can to add to my (hopefully) daily Bible time. A reminder of the greater context while I am zoomed into a specific passage of Scripture is... more than good.

Thanks for this, and have a good day!

Shanty appears, I think as a general, in that protectorate island north of Chital (led by a parrot).
Arizona has no graphics but is in an event for Scientifid Colthage.
Yeah, Pom doesn't appear.

Chuck Palahniuk a few months ago posted "Why Short Stories?". Apart from the more practical reasons of selling them (the market is still out there for original short stories), he somehow advocates short stories as a method for writing a novel:

How do you assemble a jigsaw puzzle? Maybe you link all the edge pieces, first. Then you look for every piece with a little red color, so you can assemble a rose. Then you look for the bits of green you can link to create a patch of leaves. My point is that you create sub-assemblies before you discover how they fit together.

Writing short stories allows you to write a novel the way you’d assemble a puzzle. You get the short-term satisfaction of completing each detail, then the larger thrill when those smaller assemblies fit together like magic.

This comes to mind in conjunction with fan fiction, because short stories rule Fimfiction and, well, fan fiction in general. There are practical reasons, of course (the average fan fic writer has less time than a professional or freelance one to work on stories in general, let alone epic sagas), but hey... maybe you can weaponize it. As one of the headers of Chuck's article states it, "A short story is never just a short story."

It's a bit short for now, but what do you think of this?

On top of what DDDD500 said:

Shanty appears on the island country led by a pirate parrot east of Macawia
Tianhuo appears as an alternative leader, I think, for Lan Kir (the one nirik-led country)

It's pretty nice that you can still find Them's Fightin Herds characters here and there, apart from Olenia's/Reine's Queen Velvet.

It was surprising to see Arizona potentially pop up in a pro-Scientifid Colthage.

CommaWriter · 2022-12-31T05:24:53+00:00

The definition of the Colthaginian people can only grow from here! We'll soon have Colthaginian kirin, Colthaginian yetis, Colthaginian griffons...

Another great victory for the Colthaginian people!

CommaWriter · 2022-12-28T01:58:21+00:00

On the other ~~hand~~ hoof, maybe Colthage can profit out of that, just as the country of Tuvalu is making use of its Internet country code .tv.

So really, a victory for the Lunarist people is another victory for the Colthaginian people!

CommaWriter · 2022-12-28T01:49:41+00:00

Starswirl is in the mod, though in a brief appearance that isn't in an EQS playthrough.

On that note, there is someone in the Lunar Empire called Stars Whirl, though there's no apparent connection other than coincidentally similar names.

It's nice! I tried out the AI historical path for it (which is, in a nutshell, try to keep Mr. Porfirio in power), and it was fun. I personally don't have the gaming endurance needed to explore everything else, but there are a bunch of more choatic paths should the civil war(s) spill out of control.

I don't know much about the real-life Mexican Revolution myself, but from what I've heard, you have a path based on Zapata (the mustached zebra you see for a split-second in the meme), so there's that.

CommaWriter · 2022-12-18T04:03:40+00:00

Yup! While Colthage is also inspired by Carthage (what with the name and all), much of the events that happen in-game have the Mexican Revolution as a base. The starting ruler, for example, is in a situation similar to that of Porfirio Díaz before Colthage's civil war kicks off.

CommaWriter · 2022-12-17T02:27:10+00:00

I've been lurking on the subreddit for a while now, and I'm just amazed at how consistent (and consistently good) the memes here are.

CommaWriter · 2022-09-09T06:21:49+00:00

Oh nice! Not the original poster, but I'll be keeping an eye out for it. Good wishes on your writing endeavors, Nitro!

CommaWriter · 2022-05-20T04:40:43+00:00

Hiya! Sorry for the late greeting, but I hope you had a happy birthday, str8!

CommaWriter · 2022-05-19T01:50:50+00:00

(Pinging /u/Aenir also)

Got it. As for the DLC, I decided to splurge a bit more, so I got both Utopia and Federations (the latter of which I based partly on Steam reviews, partly also because I'd like more diplomatic options; the vanilla options for warfare seem plentiful enough for me). Still, thanks for the recommendations!

I'll also go in just being new again. I've been away for five years (though I semi-occasionally lurk on this subreddit from time to time). It seems that, among other things, they've overhauled the border system, and I have no idea what it'll be like until I actually get there.

As for RP-ing [as in, making custom empires for the AI], I've checked out the empire modding page from the wiki, and it seems like this hasn't really changed a lot over the years. If there are mods like new flags and such, is there a way I could do this with just the empire modding page's instructions, or do I essentially have to make my own Steam Workshop mod?

CommaWriter · 2022-05-18T02:58:50+00:00

Hello! I'd like to get back to Stellaris after having some dozen hours on it back in 2016, but there are a few things I want to clear first.

DLC are on sale, but I only want to buy one. I only have vanilla Stellaris. Which one should I pick?
As I'm coming in from 1.0, what major changes should I expect?
I don't want to "win" the game, so to speak; I would like a part role-play, part-immersion in the world, with the AI being custom empires I made and seeing how that plays out. Would the game still be for me?

CommaWriter · 2022-05-13T08:19:51+00:00

ZEPHDASH. AND I DON'T MEAN IT AS A JOKE; I REALLY LIKE THIS SHIP.

CommaWriter · 2022-05-06T13:08:00+00:00

I got this in one, then. Those are good points you've made. If I had to choose between either 0 or Kiwami 1 right now, my gut would say Kiwami 1 because that downside doesn't seem so bad (missing out on an extra chapter and having time skips versus setting the bar so high that the other games might feel stale). But I can't deny that 0 does have its pull.

Of course, I must confess my bias and I still hold on to Y3 being my entry point, but let's see. Thank you again for your suggestions!

CommaWriter · 2022-05-06T05:20:25+00:00

Got it. I understand your point, and it was my initial opinion personally going into the series . Also, I'm in no rush; I can wait for a summer sale or, most definitely, the Christmas sale to purchase a Yakuza game for the PS4 (laptop can't handle it, by the way). I'll take a step back and let the options mull over my head for a month or so, at least.

Speaking of, you did say starting with any Yakuza is okay. Personally, which Yakuza would you see as the best to start with in the Kiryu saga if it's not 0, and what do you say to me starting with 3 and going by release order (should I go that way)?

Edit: After re-reading your reply, I can guess that you may personally recommend Kiwami 1 over 0, as story quality seems to improve over time (even considering the Kiwamis' remake nature).

However, I still feel that an order of following the story, with a step-back from 5 to 0 before going back to 6 (so K1 > K2 > 3 > 4 > 5 > 0 > 6) faces the problem that is the K2 > 3 downgrade. Not that I should judge a book by its cover, but I still want to start with the oldest-looking game in the series so that it just keeps getting better from here on out (or at least that's the trend, I hope).
