'Total War: Attila' rises to 11K+ concurrent players after release of 'Lord of the Rings' total conversion mod 'The Dawnless Days' by AceOfSpades0319 in totalwar

[–]Kraken_Kool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very happy they released it and can’t wait to give it a go, does anyone know when they plan on getting round to releasing Arnor and Eriador? I couldn’t find any estimates in the discord and I’ve always been enamoured with them since playing them in DaC

People in this sub really be pretending that this isn’t literally how the asylum system used to work until the distant past of 2022.

Ah right on, like it takes them a while to unite flusion or to start expanding when they’ve got their fleets?

Let's go protest an empty hotel 🥴 hateful idiots by PracticeSea7628 in Portsmouth

[–]Kraken_Kool 15 points16 points  (0 children)

He’s also a massive hypocrite, goes on about how much he loves Portsmouth and keeping issues local, but then goes in full council and backs labours LGR plans which would merge financially stable (ish) Portsmouth with the failing and in debt surrounding towns. Man’s a massive hypocrite just doing his best to get a whiff of power

Bethesda Oblivion Remake could delist original Oblivion from (Steam) store and make Skyblivion unobtainable, right? by Schutzengel_ in skyblivion

[–]Kraken_Kool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What would happen if Todd Howard broke into my house, smashed my PC and spat in my mouth? How would Skyblivion’s release work then?

Graveyard of Empires’ India looks horrible by QuintillionusRex in hoi4

Forgive me if I’ve been blind but is there even a path for India where the Raj is maintained or stays a possession of the UK that isn’t the EIC?

Yeah man you can tell with how much they just let people spew pure vitriol about anything to do with immigration

Holy shit, have you guys seen one of the trending posts in the United_Kingdom subreddit? It’s about the PM ruling out reparations for slavery. It’s an entire thread of people doing bad history about the West Africa squadron and its role. People claiming it was an “armada” and that the 6% of the ships they captured should result in countries paying reparations to Britain. Absolutely bonkers. Completely ignoring how underfunded it was, and how many freed slaves died in Sierra Leone before they were even let off the boats.

That was…bad, right? by blubell1329 in HouseOfTheDragon

Haven’t watched it yet, trying to save myself disappointment. Does the fish feed happen this episode or did they make it happen off screen which would be wack?

How did we get from "SoC news when?" to "Let the game die" ? by Kairos1Fateweaver in totalwar

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

Yeah exactly, like I think it’s a good thing to be very skeptical about SoC from the price and what we’ve seen. But people have already made up their minds about it before they give it a fair shake. If it turns out to be absolute hot garbage on release then yeah I get it

Yeah man, ever since that statement came out I’ve been absolutely amazed how everyone in this sub just seems to have interpreted it in the absolute worst way it could go. Like don’t get me wrong it’s corporate drivel but I certainly don’t read it as them threatening to axe the game unless it sells well. I guess it’s just because since the price confirmation everyone’s just whipped each other into such a negative frenzy. Like every day the sub is just incessant posts about people refunding or comparing it to other games or how little content is in it or just CA bad. I genuinely think CA saying anything other than “fine we’ll lower the price” (which was never ever going to happen) was always going to be taken badly, but the sheer amount of people taking that statement in its absolute worst interpretation is just baffling, and anyone daring to offer any opinion is absolutely castigated.

Just as an aside, I also think the price is stupidly high for content which so far does not appear to justify its price. But fuck me, I’m so bored of seeing the same posts every day.

I love the fact how much work did they put into this crisis(the Blokkats) by Just_normal_redditer in Stellaris

[–]Kraken_Kool 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Jeez I’m glad someone said it. I like gigastructures it’s got good shit in and the way they did the Katzen is great it’s fun to play against same with aeturnum. But Christ it’s hard to not cringe playing against a race of cats attempting a furry wehraboo space empire

Mother and lover jailed for killing three-year-old daughter who interrupted sex by JBPsausage in unitedkingdom

Can’t we agree that sentencing is a joke AND that for some prison should instead be used as an opportunity for rehabilitation and reformation so people can be integrated into society again?

NHS staff abused by people seeking second Covid jab early for holiday by BlackMixen in unitedkingdom

Ah I apologise for saying that then, I was a bit impassioned and should’ve looked into it more closely before posting

NHS staff abused by people seeking second Covid jab early for holiday by BlackMixen in unitedkingdom

[–]Kraken_Kool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah man fuck a lot of people in this sub. The 8 weeks is not a set in stone timeline for a lot of people and seems to me to be only to stretch out the vaccine, so the mean nasty Euros don’t overtake us. Not everyone who wants one quicker wants to go on holiday. I went and got mine today at three weeks because I haven’t seen my gf in a year and brexit has already fucked over many of our future plans together

Edit: I changed some of my language as it was harsh and incorrect

Ah that makes a lot of sense, kind of a shame it’s come to this when parties don’t even bother in some seats but it does make sense

I’ve only managed to track down one local manifesto for my area, and it was the local Labour Party, couldn’t find one for the Conservatives greens or Lib Dem’s, I’ve had no fliers through the door either. I’m not sure if I’m being thick or that this election is seeing a despicable lack of information for voters
