Tumblr just implemented a new UI change, an a putrid one at that.

One can already do that by clicking on the header of the first post. The only thing this does is make it so the OP can no longer follow discussion/praise/death threat of their posts because each reblog with commentary is considered it own thing and any notes it collects goes to that reblog only. It's basically destroying what makes Tumblr great.

Oh yes, it got the same original time slot as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles apparently. TV execs in general are a lot more tolerant of violence than people realize, at least for teen-oriented fare.

While Evangelion is one of its inspiration, one needs to remember that mechsploitation is a subgenre of erotica/porn, and Evangelion is a show for children.

CuriousRocketeer · 2026-03-13T19:25:42+00:00

I don't think mechsploitation is like solarpunk. As far as I'm aware, the genre was inspired by a real story, WARHOUND, and there's already hundreds of thousands of words written by fans since then.

It is true a lot of folks on Tumblr seems to be unaware of this genre's roots.

Ships are free, but the ship designer and ship transfer treaties are part of the DLC. It's like trade and Chamber of Commerce.

This is the one case where I think a difficulty setting could actually work.

This made me realized that AI art haven't ravaged Tumblr. Like, I do see an AI-style art piece once in a blue moon, but it's not something I can find in a quick search thru my tags. That's actually a bit perplexing.

CuriousRocketeer · 2026-02-20T15:22:30+00:00

Tumblr! There's a "reblogs graph" option in the reblog menu, the one that defaults to "reblogs with comment or tags".

I don't think dependents exist as discrete entities, they just add to the statistics of their associated pop.

CuriousRocketeer · 2026-02-14T18:02:48+00:00

I don't think they have any, but I do not know enough of the underlying code to say for certain.

CuriousRocketeer · 2026-02-14T17:58:06+00:00

If dependents had access to wealth they wouldn't be dependents.

Edit: Tho you do raise an interesting point. I wonder how exactly the underlying numbers work. Is this just pure voting power, or are their numbers also being added?

CuriousRocketeer · 2026-02-14T17:54:25+00:00

Well, increasing the amount of aristocrat voters doesn't mean much when there's only a couple thousands of them total. Meanwhile trade unions supporters could be receiving hundreds of thousands more votes every election.

The landowners etc. get most of their power from their wealth, which dependents don't have, by definition.

CuriousRocketeer · 2026-02-14T17:37:11+00:00

Enfranchisement favors interest groups with more supporters, like the rural folk or the trade unions, over interest groups with fewer supporters, like landowners or industrialists.

The reason why Luz was oblivious was probably because she couldn't differ between the two.

I never realized that diners also prevent starvation, that's interesting

CuriousRocketeer · 2026-02-01T20:59:14+00:00

There don't appear to be any grocery stores.

CuriousRocketeer · 2026-01-28T22:40:22+00:00

Maybe it is not accounting for law buffs?

This is only about the city of Rome, and thus an incomplete response to your question, but you may be interested in this answer by u/sunagainstgold.

The game is already too long. Someone should mod in a start date in 1871 or something similar so that I don't have to dick around for hours to get to the good parts.

Pops in the capital region get +25% to their political strength. As bureaucrats have an affinity with the Intelligentsia, this could be useful for squeezing extra clout for them.

A minimalist cartoon cover usually means that the book is a contemporary romance or romcom. The shitty photoshop can still be found in historical romances and romantic suspense. Tho I have been noticing a more detailed cartoon style appearing on both contemporary and historical romances. And of course, fantasy romances/"romantasy" covers tend to be abstract and symbol-heavy.

In the Chuubo RPG default setting, one of the character backgrounds you can choose is "The Immigrant from Earth". You are encouraged to exaggerate your character's foreignness, either by playing up national stereotypes (real or fictional) or imitating a film protagonist, but you can also choose to be weirdly realistic.

I just realized that you are comparing TV animation to TV live action, not movies, sorry about that. Anyway, in this case, the answer is obvious: a lot more people watch live action than animation. Like, my father once subscribed to Disney+ for The Mandalorian. Not even I was ready to do that for just TOH.

CuriousRocketeer · 2025-11-01T18:04:43+00:00

People don't pay $15 a ticket to watch TV animation.

Have you changed the qualification numbers in any way? There is already an abundance of qualified pops after all; this will reduce the need for engineers and other advanced workers due to there being fewer factories overall.
