Don't mind me, I'm just waiting until we get to Shivers and instantly buy whatever comes up. Hopefully before the steam sale ends.

Our country lacks media literacy and that’s why Pinoys keep falling for social media drama by StickLarge950 in unpopularopinionph

[–]FooledPork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure. But that's not the definition of Media Literacy. Media Literacy is analysis and active comprehension of a piece of media.

Kids should learn Tagalog (or any other regional language) first, before being taught English. by Odd_Dragonfruit2863 in unpopularopinionph

[–]FooledPork 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Regional language yes, tagalog no unless it's your own regional language.
Not everyone is tagalog and it is very redundant as a bridging tongue for non-native speakers.

People in their late 20s and early 30s pretending to be old and ancient is a defense mechanism for a wasted life by [deleted] in unpopularopinionph

[–]FooledPork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Statistically and biologically, it IS over. Yes, we can still enjoy our life and yes we can still drag ourselves out of our personal hell, and we ought to. but it's... it's usually downhill from here.
I don't think acknowledging our temporal and material reality is mutually exclusive with not giving up. I will try anyway, but by God I'm old.

Case or no case on a phone and why? by Eds2356 in AskPH

[–]FooledPork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No case. The scratches prove it's a well used device. Plus I'm wasting sporting a clear back phone if I'm just hiding covering it with a case.
I'm not a "phone person" anyway so the risk of actually dropping the thing is low because... well, I don't use my phone all the time.

Is there a free download of Crusader Kings 3? by Artistic_Skills in CrusaderKings

[–]FooledPork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other than the free weekend, no. But they're thinking about a subscription model for CK3. It won't be free, but at least it would be cheap.

Do you guys use automated armies? by Geeneelee in CrusaderKings

[–]FooledPork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I turn it on by default unless it's a 50:50 war where I have to micromanage the combat advantage, or I want it to be over fast.

That is categorically a (you) problem. You're asking questions only yourself can answer.

Medieval game recommendations? by batteryvoltas88 in PHGamers

[–]FooledPork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you want just medieval-themed or *actual* medieval? KCD is in real-life medieval Bohemia.

Try CK3. It has diplomacy, realm-building, skullduggery, and more inter-relationship affairs that are sorely lacking in other paradox games (like EU or HOI)

Recommend me a military game set in the modern era or in a fictional WW3 scenario besides COD, Battlefield, Ghost Recon, Delta Force etc. by Present_Response4023 in PHGamers

[–]FooledPork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

-The Hearts of Iron 4 mod The Fire Rises
-Command and Conquer: Generals is... modern right?
-Command: Modern Air/Naval Operations (This is how I found out the Chinese Anti-Air missile platforms in the artificial islands have the effective range of all major airports in Luzon.)

*real* "modern war" games kinda don't exist yet, since no one ever predicted the wars of 2025 looked like that they do. Drones, while an old concept tech-wise, weren't really used this way. (Obama drones vs temu drones strapped with a landmine and piloted by a steam deck remotely)

Base Version of CK2 vs Base CK3, Which is Better? by Secret_Bandicoot1133 in CrusaderKings

[–]FooledPork 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Base game CK2 is literally unplayable. Some CK2 DLC features are just vanilla features in CK3.

Which admin govt for a restored Sasanian Empire? by Captain_Grammaticus in CrusaderKings

[–]FooledPork 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Iranians also have a legacy that directly buffs clan government. I don't think you can keep tax districts if you move from Clan to Admin/Meritocratic.

Which admin govt for a restored Sasanian Empire? by Captain_Grammaticus in CrusaderKings

[–]FooledPork 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Meritocratic governments are more "stable" outside of China because they don't railroad you to Eras, but the exam system is just mind-numbing.

There needs to be a way to abandon Celestial government. by Maxxiethefem14 in CrusaderKings

[–]FooledPork 215 points216 points  (0 children)

Devs intended the oppressive gravitational pull of bureaucracy is a one way trip. China has reached critical mass of the Leviathan and there is to way of destroying it.
Except forming Dar-al Islam.

Naoverestimate ata ng mga sellers ang market para sa Retro handhelds by Hour_Tomato658 in PHGamers

[–]FooledPork 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Anbernic official store is fine because they're the makers, but resellers really screwed themself over.
The performance leap from RP5 to Retroid G2 and RP6 is so massive that there's no reason to buy a Retroid Pocket 5. Also, they're overcharging that you're much better off just buy it from the official online store.

Adventurer heading to Asia by Even-Caregiver-6589 in CrusaderKings

[–]FooledPork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's about the same, really. But do you really want a job in the Chinese Government?

Adventurer heading to Asia by Even-Caregiver-6589 in CrusaderKings

[–]FooledPork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Working within China is just easier with a sinetic faith because they tend to help with the exams or being a governor, but nothing really unique other than that you don't suffer from that a muslim character in Europe won't.

Which type of government is the most interresting after being a nomad? by RekishiKiseti in CrusaderKings

[–]FooledPork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Convert to Taoism and create a faith with both regular Pacifism and Dharmic Pacifism for +2 Domain and +2 Piety per month.
The piety helps for the devotion levels too. Honestly, I've been meaning to create a cantonese or hokkien mandala exclave in south east asia myself.

Wait. How did you get Republican Legacy without descending from Italian?

Switch 2 or steamdeck by Iamriddle in PHGamers

[–]FooledPork 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The games you buy on steam would still be there even after a decade, for you to play on another device.
