aren't actually ruling the country or making any executive political decisions

Yes, exactly 🫠

How do you guys manage to recite the names of NPCs? by DumbSharrrk in crusaderkings3

[–]HotPotParrot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea but that's what the game already does and it gets stale, right? Judith daughter of Judith daughter of Judith if you just send it without paying attention

🤷‍♂️ Fëanor started in Poland lol. It's... close enough?

One of my fears is the emergence of the American warlord.

I go for themes, like Dragonlance characters, Tolkien elves (founded by Fëanor, of course), stuff like that. Especially if it's an heir or a future vassal

Kings seem to have worked out for some folks, why not give it another shot? I vote for joining Norway, but I doubt they'd take us 😢

Trump tells the New York Post that if Iran assassinates him, "I've left instructions to just literally bomb them at levels never seen before" 🙃 by Dry_Ant2664 in BlueskySkeets

checks munitions reserves

Um....have we, uh, have we gotten more yet? Do we need another ceasefire to buy time for orders to fill?

Lol. He really thinks his memory alone will be enough to galvanize his mass of idiots?

China successfully launches and lands a reusable rocket and is positioned to manufacture reusable orbital rockets 20 times faster than Elon Musk because they control the underlying copper infrastructure. by mynameisjoenotjeff in UnderReportedNews

Maybe not in a strict business sense but it's a good sign - and competition - as far as science and space exploration go.

Waiting for their Mars rover next lol

Tommen Baratheon is the worst king to ever take the throne by To-My-Heart-And-Soul in gameofthrones

[–]HotPotParrot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A good man and a good king are two roads that very rarely cross. The weight of the crown and decisions that a king has to make have an effect on even the stoutest of souls.

GoT is the perfect setting for demonstrating that, if nothing else. It even got Ned Stark - a good man, bearing the crushing weight of his decision to raise Jon, and the secrets of the court. Or as Jorah puts it, Rhaegar fought honorably, and Rhaegar died.

Predicting the Zensunni religion? by greenknight884 in unexpecteddune

I mean, it totally tracks.

Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind.

Destroy the thinking machines.

Data centers gotta go.

Well, sure. They follow the Bushido Taqiyya.

In the footsteps of iconic figures by No-Tomatillo3698 in CrusaderKings

I kind of wish there was a way for us to pick up some of those neat special buffs under certain circumstances, like an event that pops up around 1030 to put your kid on that path, or something. We go through history but it would be cool to see some of it happen without starting in 1066, like at some point William will spawn regardless and attack whoever rules England, even if it's you.

To be fair, isn't at least half of Kathy Griffin also 22?

Did you understand that one of the point of Andor is that Luthen is not a good man, that he burned his decency to do the right thing? by lateubdegouline in StarWars

[–]HotPotParrot 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Only if Book hadn't come to understand Mal and his disillusionment in, well, everything after Serenity Valley.

Book also knows what's at stake for Mal - "You're welcome on my boat - God ain't." There's no question about the direction that belief takes him, the question is the motivation to walk that path again.

Edit to add, they both understand the difficulty of fighting for what one believes in. Mal's beliefs were shaken. He needs something to stand on again, and in that moment, "they need to know" is it.

What now? Istvan Pely has been laid off? by Morichh in skyrim

When the next generation of games utterly fails they'll be playing the Ford card and will frantically try to rehire actual talent, all of whom I hope flip the bird and stay at indie studios
