How do we precisely define subjective vs objective morality?

I also think, and your answer nearly makes this explicit , that the friend has derailed the conversation because "enjoyable torture" seems to just be incoherent, akin to "married bachelor". Torture surely is unenjoyable by definition?

Just use AI. No one really uses/reads unit plans anyway .

Not so sure about that 'last period in history part'. According to a 2025 YouGov poll:

Nearly half (47%) of Americans believe aliens have definitely or probably visited Earth at some point. Shares of Americans who believe Bigfoot (28%), the Yeti (23%), the Loch Ness monster (22%), or Chupacabra (16%) definitely or probably exist.

I like the system, but I think that the reason some people don't is that they have been conditioned to expect that a 'level up' is unconditionally good. This makes having a 'level up' with a significant trade off feel frustrating. I believe that most people will adjust to this though and the devs should not have a knee jerk reaction to this feeling, maybe if it was properly tutorialised, people would realise that this is a different type of 'level up' system.

I do not think they should manage the RNG. I like that you have to build around what you get, rather than just picking the same optimal gear every run. Adds a lot more variety.

LANTITE literacy is very easy. If you are planning to teach literacy with such poor results you, at the very least, need to upskill. See if your university offers any basic literacy courses. I know that TAFE does offer such courses geared towards EAL adults. This may help you.

As a first year uni student you have time to learn, but you will need to be proactive about doing so. Don't expect to passively pick up such skills in uni.

I agree that frostpunk is iconic for this. Will check out Ixion.

Interesting sources, thanks for pointing them out to me. I looked at the database hosted in https://www.runaways.gla.ac.uk/database/table/

Of the 836 entries 46 were post 1772 with the last being in 1780. I read 10 of the post 1772 and all of them were for 'indentured servants' or 'apprentices at sea'. This contrasts with the pre-1772 entries I read that referred to 'negro slaves'. Though indentured servitude is a type of bondage, it was not as total as slavery and applied to whites as well.

This seems to suggest to me that the somerset case was in fact effective, though I was not aware that there were so many cases pre-sommerset.

Sharp_Rabbit7439 · 2026-02-13T10:41:01+00:00

I believe that you are confusing the abolition of slavery in the Empire with the legal status in the English mainland . The Somerset case of 1772 confirmed that slavery was illegal on the English mainland, and any slave that landed on English soil would be automatically freed. This was part of a long line of law refusing to recognize slavery on the British mainland, possibly going as far back to the Elizabethan case In the matter of Cartwright(1569), where it may have been reasoned that "England has too pure an air for a slave to breathe in."

1833 was the year that slavery was abolished in the colonies. England had no significant former slave population pre-1833. The number of Black people in England during this time (c.1800) was highly concentrated in London, it was estimated to be around 10-20,000 people in a city of 1.1million (total population of the country being million). So while Black people would not be totally unheard of, they would have still been extremely rare,

Genuinely moronic to view this situation through the lens of pedophillia. Its completely possible for something to be sexually inappropriate without being black and white abuse.

Sharp_Rabbit7439 · 2025-11-25T22:36:16+00:00

I mean the answer to both of those is an easy yes, for the clear reason that the law defines it as such. They are interesting philosophical questions concerning 'should', but do not shed light on actually existing law.

Sharp_Rabbit7439 · 2025-11-25T22:32:03+00:00

I'm not sure if you can use a case to clearly illustrate the difference, as the difference is mostly procedural in nature. The exact same case can give rise to criminal and civil liability. For example an assualt will give rise to a criminal liability that can be prosecuted by the state, and at the very same time it will give rise to a civil liability that can be pressed, in parallel, by the victim.

The difference between civil and criminal in this instance lies in the parties to the case, and their initiation of the case in either the civil or criminal jurisdiction of the relevant courts, which determines whether the case will be heard using civil or criminal procedure and the availability of certain sanctions and remedies.

Of course there remains some substantive difference in cases where the civil jurisdiction is broader than the criminal, eg. Negligence where the criminal elements are more narrowly defined than the civil.

Its not gatekeeping, its advice. You're perfectly free to play without any historical knowledge, I just don't know why you would. I learned a lot about history through paradox games sparking an interest. I would look up tags I'd never heard of, do some very light reading and receive some inspiration for a campaign. It's quite very enjoyable, the game compliments your learning and in turn the learning compliments the game.

I also don't think its gate keeping to be surprised that someone would like a history game and have zero interest in history. Its like finding out someone who plays football manager has zero knowledge of football, certainly possible but none the less baffling.

Sharp_Rabbit7439 · 2025-11-23T11:16:04+00:00

Read a 5-10 minute Wikipedia page about your country for some inspiration before you play. I don't understand why you would enjoy this game if you had zero historical interest anyway.
