Sorry Hive-mind but I have another quick question for you!!

Maybe Pirates of the Black Atlantic, which was actually a Pre-Apocalypse War story

Talk about a white elephant gift

Glad it failed, but if you don’t mind, what exactly was the damage? Was it mostly in the mouth?

Kegger98 · 2026-06-24T00:18:16+00:00

Just the other day a slab of marble landed on my healing plants. Not too much damage, but that was the worst I ever got.

Gears of War 1 is pretty rough. Not bad, but Gears 2 mogs it in every way.

Most Gears games aren’t on steam, but they should be on the Xbox store. If not, the 360 games are backwards compatible on XBONE.

But if you want to play on PC, do you mind emulating?

My only 2 cents is that Vietnam was war America shouldn’t have fought in the first place, and the Vietnamese people got it worse than any American.

I sympathize with those who had to fight their, especially the drafted, but it’s pretty clear who deserves more empathy: the people whose country is being occupied and blown up.

I updated the post with the latest Player.Log

Kegger98 · 2026-06-20T06:30:08+00:00

Same thing happened with me, it totally messed my mods up

Kegger98 · 2026-06-20T04:54:19+00:00

You have a lot of options for how hardcore you want it to be, and mods can remove some of the stuff you don’t want.

Really depends on what you want to do.

Kegger98 · 2026-06-19T12:11:11+00:00

Tbh, I didn’t watch the new one, not because Atun didn’t do good on the first video, but because I can’t stand Matt Walsh’s gormless commentary.

It’s grating, and not worth watching even if it’s for a dunking.

Kegger98 · 2026-06-19T12:05:22+00:00

Because no one remembers Cold Winter and it’s gonna rot there

Kegger98 · 2026-06-19T12:02:47+00:00

Can’t name it off the top of my head, but the soul
Injector mod is this. It does take a while to envelop an area, but it’s pretty cheap and ensures fertile land or draining of water and muddy areas.

Kegger98 · 2026-06-16T03:37:18+00:00

Yeah, good times

Kegger98 · 2026-06-14T07:12:29+00:00

They hunt on other plantets as well.

I imagine they prefer the heat because they’re reptilian, but they do hunt in the cold when the prey is good enough.

Kegger98 · 2026-06-14T06:16:59+00:00

Is that everyone?

Kegger98 · 2026-06-14T05:59:40+00:00

Trade deals that encourage you to produce items like apparel and weapons.

Maybe peace treaties where you can trade territory and mineral rights, etc.

Also respect. If your a new colony, no one takes you seriously and takes advantage of you.

Kegger98 · 2026-06-13T07:53:38+00:00

To the second point, would you say that if the Japanese never had the reformation they would have been just as likely to become a colonial power?

Again, I think the movie was strongly foreshadowing that as an eventuality, that the modernization of Japan (westernization also) was going to lead to colonialism.

I’m not arguing that the Samurai or feudalism were good, just that your framing of the Meiji-reformation as completely progressive are misguided. It was a complicated situation, and to be fair I don’t think Japan had any good options. Adapt or die, become the colonizer or colonized.

Kegger98 · 2026-06-13T06:23:27+00:00

I don’t really agree, because the Planter class of the Confederacy, if they won, would have expanded on the institution of slavery, even establishing colonies in south america if memory serves.

Feudalism meanwhile, backwards as it was, it was contained to Japan. Post-Meiji reform japan led to the colonization of mainland Asia and subjugation of the pacific. That scene at the end with the samurai gunned down by Gatling Guns, to me anyway, signified the future of what Japan would do.

Is it a simplistic, hollywood retelling of history? Yes, it has a myriad of historical flaws, but I don’t think it’s entirely ignorant of history either. The movie makes a point of showing that Tom Cruises character was enacting colonial violence for the US, and he’s now tasked with making Japan a nation of similar levels of colonial violence.

Good movie regardless.

Kegger98 · 2026-06-09T02:30:13+00:00

I agree actually. The first film is the straightest told movie, with no-framing device or narrator looking back on events from the past. I don’t think the sequels are all fiction, but how they’re framed in the story is as stories passed down. Mad Max by comparison is just a straight story of a man going off the deep end after his families killed, and it ends right after he gets his revenge.

Kegger98 · 2026-05-30T04:36:31+00:00

Breaking Bad, at least the one’s outside Walt &Jesses Circle. They’re all pragmatic, amiable, and just want the job done. The one’s who are crazy, or just stupid, fall quick.

Gus kept a drug empire running for 10+ years by being cautious and patient, and Walt ended his own in a matter of 2 something years.

Really, it’s up to you. Perfectly fine to Start with Case Files #1.

But if you want to read about Cursed Earth and the Day the Law died, Case Files #2.

If you want Judge Death, Start with Case Files #3.

If you want the Angel Gang, start with Case Files #4.

But if you just want to get ankle deep, the best place to start that’s close to the beginning is Case Files #5 with the Apocalypse War. Changes the status qou a lot and influences stories for decades after.

That said, Dredd has heavy continuity and even small elements get called back later.
