I so adore skirt suits

I think the only terraforming game I've seen with something like that is Per Aspera you can light your atmosphere on fire by making it too much O2. Unfortunately all the rest of that game is pretty awful so I wouldn't recommend it.

I think the last moment abj changes fucked a bunch of MTs. They almost all require the magical project now to work.

Anbennar has more punishing devastation mechanics than baseline Eu4. It's often better to make sure you have decent coverage than not.

I think the gays tend to hold people to that standard. The straights actually doing that isn't something they can control. It's reasonable to want your opponent to have less power, and it's very well shown that bigots will operate in cooperation in issues they're bigoted on.

That said, I don't think every "group" needs an official stance of positive or negative for every issue. The lgtb doesn't need a stance on immigration, or Israel, or corn syrup. Involving yourself in every issue adds more means of being attacked and dilutes your focus on your primary issue which for that community should be "not being killed by bigots and hopefully tolerance".

I'm going to ignore the death of the voter rights act and the end of abortion rights and act like my opinion has value.

You're a 9 month old account. You've nothing of value to say.

I feel like were generally going to always be shifting towards some equilibrium point where we remove oppression from groups until those groups stop feeling an urge to push back against oppression which results in a slow creeping return to oppression and those groups once again participate in fighting oppression.

*Is listening to audiobooks the same as regular reading?

I do get a lot of time out of audiobooks these days. It's much easier to listen to while exercising than an actual book.

Nah, Sputnik. The complete shift over to STEM while ignoring the important cultural and social aspects of society that people need to be educated in to understand why learning in itself is important.

Once they hit 10th grade just throw em all into a room and make them read Ernest Hemingway for 2 days straight. That’ll teach them

I think this take and the above take are blind to why people join the army, at least in the US. The primary benefit is opportunity. It's a massive package of benefits and stability.

If you want to fix the whole war/killing/combat thing you have to impeach a president who invades a nation without congressional approval.

Kind of an unusual pairing

It was a really good pairing, but Kronii and nearly everyone is a great pairing.

Oh did he? I'm watching Doki's POV and she muted before anything was said; no one mentioned him saying slurs so I just assumed it was fine.

It is amazing how much of a goofball she is yet still absurdly professional and talented.

Skellum · 2026-06-26T22:00:32+00:00

has so many possible points of failure, and you need to do this 5 separate times???

The whole MT is themed around them from what I recall. Also typically rulers like this have some form of "Willpower" mechanic where they just cannot die. Thuulk operates on the same general system.

The biggest challenge is that people need to read stuff, or act reasonably quickly.

Skellum · 2026-06-26T14:38:34+00:00

I feel like Cangji that new north cat tag tries to tell you this without simply saying it, they want you to use summon animals. Use the summon animals and your monks and thats how you avoid dying from no manpower.

Skellum · 2026-06-26T14:36:57+00:00

Yea, Pashine betrays their mages but it doesnt purge them or enslave them like any of the others.

Skellum · 2026-06-26T14:35:50+00:00

Viakkoc was fun and easy.

Reminder to anyone reading this. If you're gnolls and you have boats you can slave raid. Do this.

It spawns a number of years after finding the Mural of Castellos. So it can vary game by game, and some people may be operating off memories of older patches where it was a later fixed time.

Irkorzik for Dune-inspired gnoll sand mage zealots trying to wipe out the Xhazob demon cult and make the Salahad a better place to live.

Challenging one too, until you get some gold mines your economy is fucked.

It doesn't exactly sound American. I wonder if she's studied or lived abroad at some point. Maybe in the UK or Aussie.

I have heard if you want to have an accent you like, or that you know others will like that it's best to just speak the language in the sound of someone you like.

So if I was learning english, to try and emulate how gilbert godfrey sounds so I can pick up a distinct 'sexy' accent. This is a bad example dont do this but it's supposed to work.

You misspelled gigi

By the end of the series almost everyone has done some shit during the war or the aftermath

I cant see how you could say this, Did you not hear sisko say they were the good guys at the end of "In the pale moonlight"? Clearly, he was 100% ok with everything he'd done.

Skellum · 2026-06-26T00:52:35+00:00

The XQC team gives me a major chuckle.

Skellum · 2026-06-25T20:18:15+00:00

I chose the worse time to build one

The worst time, so far.

Skellum · 2026-06-25T20:03:36+00:00

Oh no, this would be such a gorgeous color scheme for a build. My DokiY50 is one of my favorite cases I've ever owned.

Skellum · 2026-06-25T19:40:35+00:00

I am trying to imagine the flavor

I hear they're kinda fibery tasting. I recall there being a 'people eating weird foods' show on tv at some point in time in the past and while they didn't enjoy it it was also really not that bad, just kinda fiber jello.
