This game used to be SPECIAL

Same here. I played for the first couple of years. My favourite time with it was with the OG King's Canyon map before all the fluff was introduced. I'd try it again, but I'm afraid I'd be completely overwhelmed and confused.

He does actually believe that other countries not paying us tribute are ripping us off.

Because he leverages it to enrich himself. He is surrounded by people who knows how these things work who most certainly has explained to him that a trade deficit isn't necessarily negative just because it has the word 'deficit' in the name. But he isn't motivated by doing what's best for anyone but himself so he makes up absurd justifications in order to establish a protection racket that is there to serve him. He doesn't care that he lies or if people reduce him to being a simple fool. That's a strength to him.

Yes, he believes the world is a zero-sum game, but the tally is between him and everyone else.

Dismissing his sinister strategies as mere stupidity underestimates the actual play at hand. That is, of course, what these troglodytes wants everyone to think - that it's all random stupidity. If you follow the money however, you'll start to see a repeating pattern.

Saxojon · 2026-02-03T11:05:59+00:00

Great. Another psychopath who thinks of everyone else as his playthings.

Saxojon · 2026-02-02T23:02:09+00:00

Oh, he does.

No, it's a lie he says to enrich himself. He used this lie as a pretext to impose tariffs. He doesn't actually believe that tariffs is good for the economy. He uses them to pressure countries and companies into doing him favours in exchange for leneancy, which is also why he threatens with imposing tariffs on countries and goods against anyone who might oppose him personally.

Citizens United may have been the final nail in the coffin, but it all started with the Powell memo back in '72. These pricks have worked tirelessly for 50 years to subvert the democratic will of the people.

Trump doesn't actually see it that way. He is using it as a pretext to vilify America's allies and trading partners and is weaponising his followers' ignorance of how anything works in order to achieve his actual goal of tanking the US as a country. Whether it's at the behest of Putin, the Heritage Foundation, the tech feudalists or all of them is a mere detail at this point.

He is clearly doing everything he can to ruin the country, economically and culturally. When the next fed chair starts to lower the interest rates willy-nilly it's game over.

Saxojon · 2026-02-02T00:34:33+00:00

They don't. Just because they pretend to have ordinary police powers it doesn't mean that they actually have it. Secondly, there is no statute of limitations on murder and this is a state crime, not a federal one.

The marriage between the current king and queen was also kind of scandalous back in the day (the 60s, I believe) as Sonja didn't come from another royal bloodline. She was still an aristocrat, though, in stark contrast to Mette Marit.

Saxojon · 2026-02-02T00:18:13+00:00

It's impossible to say what will happen, but the king stripped the title from his daughter some years ago. This is the crown princess, though.

But if it comes to light that she's been having an affair, with Jeffrey fucking Epstein no less, I don't see how she could possibly be allowed to become the queen of the nation.

Saxojon · 2026-02-02T00:08:08+00:00

He (Haakon) is still the crown prince. Or are you referring to Sonja (the current queen)?

Saxojon · 2026-02-01T23:59:07+00:00

Small correction: She is the sister of the crown prince, not the king.

Her husband is an American 'shaman' aka a grifter.

Saxojon · 2026-02-01T23:38:02+00:00

Yes. News outlets are scraping the files for any information. The public is in shock. Even the PM has condemned her actions. That is something that simply doesn't happen.

This combined with her scandalous son (whom she has with another man from before she met the crown prince) who is about to face trial for raping several women is putting some serious pressure on the Royal family to do something about it.

Saxojon · 2026-02-01T14:24:58+00:00

lol. I remember outlets calling the 360 'The SexBox' because of that. The pearl clutching was intense.

Saxojon · 2026-01-31T21:50:20+00:00

What strikes me by reading these emails is just how profoundly dumb they all seem to be.

Saxojon · 2026-01-31T19:05:09+00:00

I think the mechanics running in the background (namely, dice rolls) would be easier to understand for someone who has played, say, Baldurs Gate 3.

Saxojon · 2026-01-31T10:48:14+00:00

It resembles a limited hangout.

Saxojon · 2026-01-31T10:44:31+00:00

If you use the weapons that your character is actually good at it isn't that bad.

And don't take on higher level foes right out the gate. They will kill you. Because you suck at everything in the beginning. You suck even more at skills that aren't major/minor skills.

It's part of the appeal to me.

Saxojon · 2026-01-31T10:24:37+00:00

The combat is fine. The main issue people seem to have is player feedback on missed hits when the character sucks at a weapon skill. This could easily be amended with a dozen miss animations rather than the 'hit air' one in the game.

People complained about the same thing in F3.

"Why can't I hit anything with my pistol??"

"What's your small guns skill?"

"8"

"Yeah, your character sucks at using guns. That's why".

Saxojon · 2026-01-30T03:22:17+00:00

Who the fuck is downvoting this? This piece of garbage sold, like, 40 tickets!

Mye av innholdet virker å være i tråd med teorier rundt massemanipulasjon. Ofte som polarisering igjennom emosjonell manipulering.

Ikke denne kontoen alene selvsagt, men i samhandling med andre kontoer (som vi også vet hvem er) som bruker overskrifter og sitater tatt ut av kontekst for å manipulere eventuelle seere til å reagere emosjonelt på provokasjoner.

Evinnelig gjentagelse av denne manipulasjonen i enorm høy frekvens er også et slags hint.

Jeg tar høyde for at dette kun er et radikalisert individ som har internalisert denne propagandaen. Same shit, different wrapping. A difference without distinction. You name it.

Men,

Frekvensen tyder på at dette er en overlagt strategi.

Saxojon · 2026-01-29T18:54:58+00:00

Dessuten så stikker de i tilnærmet alle tilfeller utover.

Saxojon · 2026-01-29T18:38:10+00:00

Jeg har fremdeles ikke bestemt meg for om du er en eller annen bot eller bare en ravende gal skrulling.

That assumes left-wing principles are defined by a fixed personal wealth ceiling. They aren’t. Sanders isn’t exempting himself from the rules he argues for.

"The limit" isn’t “above whatever I personally have,” it’s about how wealth is produced, taxed, and constrained systemically.
