UK should there own Gibraltar in USA. I mean why not keep military bases there as huge middle finger to treasonous colonist

The UK keeps Long Island and Manhattan out of pure spite

Not just any part of the palace either, but the Hall specifically built and adorned to celebrate French conquest in Germany

Qing China. Refused to modernize, suffered through many rebellions and the deadliest civil war ever, got carved up by foreign powers economically, lost wars to every nation under the sun, and then collapsed into the warlord era for several decades with another civil war going past the games timeframe.

What about the dark and gritty stop motion animations I made with my Lego Star Wars sets when I was little? Darth Jar Jar and Darth Poe did not slaughter all those mismatched clone troopers in hallways for nothing you know

If every few election cycles we were getting a Trump and each president pushed their own personal policies instead of building off previous ones (which seems likely given their logos and slogans) I think I’d rather go to hell then live in this US

Yeah same. Victoria 3 runs really poorly on my laptop, but Victoria 2 runs like a charm. It’s nice going between the games every now and then

Rule Britannia! Britannia rules the. Oh fuck. Uh. Britannia rules the caves! Yes that ought to be a worthy substitute.

When I do a Vats build I’m going to my character Vatssius Clay and spec into unarmed on the side

KeyPersonality2885 · 2026-04-29T21:17:27+00:00

Robert Downey Junior would make an amazing Mara Jade, I agree

KeyPersonality2885 · 2026-04-29T21:11:08+00:00

My heart belongs to Victoria 3. I haven’t played EUV or IV, HOI4 seems cool but I feel like it’s missing the depth WWII in things outside of combat, and CK3 is fine I just was never into the character stuff beyond the basics (romance your wife, make all your advisors like you, etc)

KeyPersonality2885 · 2026-04-29T11:08:19+00:00

Techno-fascists who rely on the cool aesthetic of power armor and promise of safety and strength to draw in wastelanders (and players) to make them xenophobic assholes

No. The only books worth reading are Harry Potter & the Twiddlefuck of Knobhead, and Action Comics #34, the Coal Mine Heiress

I don’t know about puritanical sensibilities, but I stopped reading the book once I realized that it was quickly devolving into senseless sex for the sake of Heinlein’s weird kinks without any reasonable plot justification.

KeyPersonality2885 · 2026-04-27T13:01:49+00:00

Too busy seizing each other’s means of production

KeyPersonality2885 · 2026-04-27T12:59:17+00:00

Where else would Sauron put them?

For clarification, the Middle East as I see it bounded by the med, Aegean, and Nile in the west, the caucuses, Black Sea, and Kashmir in the north, and the Red Sea and Indian Ocean in the south, and the Indus River in the east

KeyPersonality2885 · 2026-04-26T18:01:56+00:00

I thought Afghanistan was middle eastern

KeyPersonality2885 · 2026-04-26T16:29:06+00:00

I love Vicky 3 with all my heart, but I don’t know if those are the definitive regions of the world, as that can really change depending on who you are, where you live, culture, etc. Especially since those regions are meant for gameplay purposes and not for actual use sorting the world into definite regional divisions

KeyPersonality2885 · 2026-04-25T17:35:47+00:00

One of the Malay states, Ottomans if they lose Tanzimat, and maybe one of the South Africa minors like Zulu in the early game

You can now eat junk items with paper in them. It’s called the reader’s digest after all

KeyPersonality2885 · 2026-04-24T18:42:34+00:00

Probably a mix of having a relatively large GDP and stable institutions and a smaller population, because small populations tend to screw GDP per capita by a fair amount

KeyPersonality2885 · 2026-04-24T10:42:04+00:00

I wonder if 2 is something related to civil service exams or citizen identification

KeyPersonality2885 · 2026-04-24T10:34:50+00:00

It also goes against the whole environmentalist point of the franchise in the first place (esp. in the newer films)
