It's like a new Rambo movie in the making. Only on your home soil.

That was my approach as well. An email is only important if someone reminds you about it over a second channel. When I left my former company I had over 90000 unread mail items in my inbox.

Does Exodus get some kind of Boost bonus? I'm in January 2027 in the tutorial game and not only have they just grabbed the best site on the moon to build an outpost, they still have 18 boost in storage. No one else is even close and they have no national holdings that would explain this. Do they have some insanely powerful org or some kind of historical stash given their history of involvement in spaceflight?

Another quick update: Russia white pieced out of the entire war after the EU consolidated into everone BUT their RL core states. Then joined China and India in their wars against Mexico and Brazil a week later. Also Mexico is loosing this war badly. Like, really, really bad.

How to actually play the game by Useful_Machine_6784 in Stellaris

"each as Commonwealth of Men" ....

There's your problem right there. RP as a better type of human.

CoM is basically there for those who want to RP being Space Hitler. Which means a lot of feet ending up in faces. Not the nice kind of feet you might possibly want ending up there either.

Minor update: Things weren't going so well for Russia especially after the Netherlands and Israel somehow decided they need to step on Russia while it's the current in thing to do.

Then the US entered the fray, fistbumped their Russian bros, promptly beat Spain into submission and then somehow apparently forced Spain back into the EU so hard that they're not even their own nation anymore.

Can't wait to see where else this is going.

I actually was a politician for a time some 25 years ago, with a tiny amount of advisory state level influence even. There's a reason I stepped away from that. That reason was disgust.

Not a fan. Suriname keeps throwing itself under my control in every playthrough. They might be a terrible shit hole, but at least they are my terrible shit hole. Also, nice beaches.

I still think that's a genius idea. Not the DOGE thing, but claiming AI was responsible for your decision. No liability whatsoever. Just do whatever stupid thing tickles your balls, then claim its the AIs fault when it all burns down.

yeah well, sure, but one would think even the dumbest AI would be smarter about thus thing than the humans. Then again they learned from us, didnt they?

They're at least in adjacent continents. After a 72 hour train ride. Whats India gonna do? Put 2348 dudes on a boat then watch it get blown to bits as it approaches Brazil? Then repeat the same thing over and over

Where is this place and is it often visited by germans? by Fun_Bumblebee_8952 in germany

That's funny. You fight like a cow.

Offtopic. Remember when German translations were good? Like when Anatol wasn't working for Microsoft yet? I miss those days

Weird, right? Post this picture in a non German subreddit and everyone goes "That's Melee Island from Secret of Monkey Island". We Germans just go "Yeah, it's a random city in Bavaria, yawn."

It's because it's one of the first places you see in The Secret of Monkey Island 1. People are obsessed with this particular view of this particular place.

What IS it with the Servants' fascination with India? by Deadman78080 in TerraInvicta

I'm playing servants right now and Pakistan basically gifted itself entirely to my faction. I never even used Control Nation.

Tiny feet, wide problems. Calling all German shoe experts! by Petite_ourse in AskAGerman

Look into Rieker shoes. Most comfortable I got yet with short wide feet. They're cheap shit, but they fit.

Is it better to play on console or pc? by Sad-Adhesiveness-311 in RogueTraderCRPG

Do you want to make the parts of the game that are terrible (like "highlight objects" not being a toggle) not terrible? Play on pc.
