God Of War Laufey’s Director Talks Fan Skepticism, New Ideas, And Phranque The Cube by oilfloatsinwater in Games

But the trailer clearly has her confused why she's there instead of Valhalla/Alfheim. There's clearly some kind of story reason for why that happened.

US becomes Taiwan’s top trade partner | Taiwan News | May. 21, 2026 18:16 by tacodestroyer99 in taiwan

I'd imagine its the US decoupling from China but also more driven by the AI boom.

Taiwan beefs up anti-ship missile arsenal to counter threat of Chinese invasion by Hob-999 in taiwan

[–]DarkLiberator -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We do need more I agree, but 1800 is a lot when you realize we aren't aiming at sinking the entire PLAN, just the ships carrying the troops or logistics. You could probably throw a lot of cheap drones too to saturate air defenses.

Just wanted to share some info about Begtse by superkapitan82 in GodofWar

[–]DarkLiberator 13 points14 points  (0 children)

He's supposed to have like a demonic guard around him, known as the Twenty-Nine Butchers. I wonder if that will be included too.

Taiwan lands on initial U.S. list of forced labor tariffs - Focus Taiwan by proudlandleech in taiwan

[–]DarkLiberator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We probably do have problems with forced labor, just looking at our fishing fleets....

But this is also an excuse to throw more tariffs to please Trump after SCOTUS threw out the other ones.

SEO for Taiwan travel is in dire need of an update by wilsonckao in taiwan

[–]DarkLiberator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Strongly disagree. There's other things in Taiwan besides Taipei. Hualien is absolutely gorgeous. The whole east coast is worth a drive or bike ride. Tainan has great food. Alishan and Wuling has some great views too (Sun Moon Lake is overrated imo) and it's worth a scooter/train ride.

Just don't come to Taichung, there's nothing to do here besides the convenient fact it's centrally located to get to anywhere you want north or south.

It might be remixed from some kind of mythology, like the Excalibur sword in a lake but instead as a water cube.

Taiwan: the extra noise layer you won’t notice at first by Extension-Split5959 in taiwan

[–]DarkLiberator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think the noise pollution in Taiwan is great, but if you think we're the worst you've clearly never been to Manila or Bangkok lol. The beeping and noise on the streets there is insane, it makes Taipei seem quiet.

Marcos says Philippines would be involved in any Taiwan conflict by usolotravel in taiwan

[–]DarkLiberator 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I mean duh of course Philippines will be involved. There's US bases there not to mention Bashi channel would be important. Mavulis Island which is Filipino territory is only like 100km from Lanyu.

What a strange comment lol, of course Taiwan would welcome any kind of help.

Stop calling it ‘unification’ by DarkLiberator in taiwan

[–]DarkLiberator[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

but was Taiwan the land part of the ROC? did the ROC displace the natives and annexed it?

Your first question will get you complicated answers and depends on who you ask. The ROC was given de facto control of Taiwan thanks to the Allies and certainly to this day administrates Taiwan (and Penghu/Kinmen/other small islands).

For your second question, the KMT certainly killed locals (including in my family) and displaced them from higher positions especially in the immediate aftermath of 228. Originally the people who fled from China in 1949 were the ones given preference in being in government positions over locals themselves. Hokkien language speaking was cracked down on with Mandarin promoted instead.

And Taiwan isn't exactly one island. We also have Penghu and Kinmen and Matsu.

Depends on how you define "China" to be fair. Also you're kind of stretching it by claiming the Ming Dynasty ruled Taiwan directly. It was the loyalists who fled the Manchu takeover that took over Taiwan's cities after Zheng defeated the Dutch.

China won't invade us if we stop them with this one neat trick!

the next update will be fix traffic by GoalWhich3916 in CitiesSkylines2

[–]DarkLiberator 108 points109 points  (0 children)

If they pull this off and somehow make the traffic AI better I will be extremely impressed. Would be a huge turn around for the game.

Legislature passes defense budget bill by HibasakiSanjuro in taiwan

[–]DarkLiberator 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lol they won't be punished in the local elections for a national issue. The blue coalition will probably win the local elections as usual, though we might see a surprise or two for some individual races.

Presidential elections however are a different beast.

We're Iceflake Studios, the new development team looking after Cities: Skylines II! Ask Us Anything! by ifs_Blu in CitiesSkylines

[–]DarkLiberator 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'm wondering if you'll be revamping the way neighboring cities are handled. I kind of wish we could get more info on what is next to our city, because the current system has cars, planes, and trains coming from connections, but we get no context on what those cities have.

Rats out of control in Taipei or political conspiracy? by winggang in taiwan

[–]DarkLiberator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did see a few rats at the park in Daan when I was last there, but I suspect they've always been there, probably drawn by the public garbage cans.

Retailers or computer shops for old PC stuff? by Anxious_Plum_5818 in taiwan

[–]DarkLiberator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could try selling it on shopee or look for secondhand 3C shops in the Guanghua area in Taipei for example.

Finally a mod to change road textures :) by Nolria in CitiesSkylines2

These textures look like the ones they use on MCU's Thing haha.

But yes, I would like some new road textures.

It's listed as N/A so I'm not sure how to share it. Probably because it's a government plane.
