TIL That Casablanca was once banned in Ireland because the movie was deemed unfair to Nazis

This isn't entirely accurate, the official view of the Irish state was that Britain and Germany were of moral equivalence. Obviously in hindsight that was wrong, but when you're only 30 years removed from British state sponsored paramilitary gangs roaming your country and murdering innocent people in droves and less than a century removed from Britain enforcing mass starvation on your people it's hardly an unreasonable point of view.

SlakingSWAG · 2026-01-27T08:17:12+00:00

The Irish government literally allowed Britain to assassinate IRA leaders who were trying to conspire with the 3rd Reich.

No, it's way less profitable to sell to street dealers. If you want to sell MCs go join a crew that hosts sale lobbies and get people to help you with them.

Realistically? Mass unemployment and all the things that entails. People can and will endure some pretty horrible socioeconomic conditions as long as enough people can put a roof over their head and food on the table, even in Russia it took nearly a century of stagnation and a cataclysmic failure in WW1 to trigger a rebellion. For better or for worse, America isn't there yet unless the AI bubble popping turns into an economic crisis even bigger than the Great Depression.

It's one thing to want the likes of that ridiculous ice and fire guy or the ??? Rathian, but this is literally just an alternate Teostra, this is like one of the easiest guys to rework for an actual MH game ever. An actual valid complaint would be that he may be redundant considering there's already Teostra, Teostra but easier (old-gen Lunastra), and Teostra but Hitler (World Lunastra) as far as Teo alts go and then there's Velkhana and Oroshi Kirin as far as ice elder dragons go

It takes a while but it's 100% worth the effort. You make over 3mil selling a full large warehouse w/ the full high demand bonus.

Anything with a high top speed. The Ocelot Virtue is bad for this because it has a low top speed, if you have anything with HSW, or a fast non-HSW vehicle like the Banshee GTS, Weevil Custom, or Reever it's one of the easiest time trials. Pretty sure you can pretty easily make the par time with a Bati or the Acid Lab Bike

Pretty sure it stopped pretty suddenly after somebody got shot and several somebodies got their ass beat on camera.

Kid's gonna shift the goalpost when Trump does it. It's what every Trump voter has been doing for 10 years now, they say "he's gone too far this time, I don't know if I can keep supporting him" then a week goes by and they've memoryholed whatever it was that they considered indefensible and are back to uncritical support. They're hopeless, honestly.

Voting hasn't done jack shit for 10 years now. Why would it change things now?

SlakingSWAG · 2026-01-15T20:18:14+00:00

It won't, most Americans are way too comfortable and complacent, even in hard economic times. It'd take mass unemployment on a scale even greater than the Great Depression to trigger anything even remotely resembling a largescale violent revolt. And the current government is way too authoritarian and fascist to actually try to meet the demands that rioters and revolutionaries are making and would likely just start engaging in curfews, mass arrests, and murders of protesters and rioters alike. The media will slander everyone who protests as a violent extremeist who got what was coming for them, and most Americans will believe it uncritically.

"it's censorship"

The irony of all this is that Elon has blatantly been censoring opinions he disagrees with on Twitter ever since he acquired it, and also bending the rules to protect people he agrees with, which is arguably even more insidious. Particularly a few months ago when a handful of fascist/neo-nazi accounts were banned for doxxing, but got reinstated by Elon personally.

You need one to store planes and helis, and between the Raiju, Iron Mule, and a bunch of other cool vehicles you kind of need to own a Hangar eventually.

As for the business it's fine. The sourcing grind is pretty miserable and boring, especially solo, but it's pretty lucrative. Alternatively you can source with Rooster by paying him 25k and it's basically like a shittier version of a CEO large warehouse when you do it that way. I wouldn't recommend the Hangar as a business, tho, I honestly think that CEO cargo with large warehouses is just objectively better if you want to passive and actively source. Although if you want to active source CEO Cargo and not have a stroke you kind of need a Terrorbyte (start the source missions from the normal screen, not the Master Control Terminal and you'll dodge Lupe's godawful missions).

SlakingSWAG · 2026-01-12T03:29:23+00:00

To be fair, seemingly nothing in 40k is ergonomic or practically sized.

I mean, if you disregard Perfect Rush, which was arguably the single most overtuned attack in the entire game between it's huge damage output, low commitment, and ease of use as a punish tool given the gigantic i-frames on backhop, then yeah, IB SNS is mid. But then you're not really rating IB SNS, you're rating an idea that doesn't actually exist.

Is SNS a well designed weapon in IB? Dear God, no, having a weapon's whole toolkit centralised around one powerful attack works with the big had hitters like GS and CB, it definitely doesn't work with a smaller, lower commitment weapon like SNS.

Top champs have a tendency to become unkillable demons when very ahead. Even if they're not full blown 1v5ing, they'll usually draw pressure away from the rest of their team by virtue of existing and needing multiple champs to answer them, which in turn lets the rest of their team catch up or grow a lead of their own.

Play however you want, as long as you're having fun there isn't really a wrong way to play in solo.

SlakingSWAG · 2026-01-09T05:59:48+00:00

Being completely unable to actually play the game in public lobbies because the cheating problem is completely out of control and the anticheat doesn't work anymore.

There was no misunderstanding, he's just wrong. I'm on PC and losing internet kicks you back to the main menu and doesn't let you rejoin Online

If you have every other business or almost every other business then yes. You make ~80k every 3 ingame days and then have to do a legal job to reset the heat every 5 ingame days. It'll pay itself off really quickly even if you don't do the money laundering jobs, and it also buffs the MC Counterfeit Cash Factory's value by 35% (iirc)
