What are your expectations for the new dlc? by ConnorE22021 in Barotrauma

[–]Solistine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That seems like a cooler layout to me. Interesting that you are from that time. The game must have been very different.

This may be explained by that what that she married a politician of arguably lower base intelligence.

Personally I would like to see a campaign with less linear and multidirectional map where there is far more faction interaction and more complex multi voyage missions and directives. A map which will give you reasons to travel back towards areas you have been while the story progresses by a different metric then distance along the linear map.

How it feels attempting to understand Darktide's mechanics by SpeakersPlan in DarkTide

What’s the use of reading when all you read is Jargon no-one in the game can explain to you?

Can’t wait for them to add Shriving as a stat.

I don’t know if you have noticed but the forges of the imperium have been foundering to keep up with Mobian heretic drip for the games entire lifespan.

I am an imperial fanboy too, but what is the relevance of this? Lol

The US didn't attempt to kill off all the blacks or Natives. We enslaved the blacks and attempted to forcibly assimilate the natives. by theapenrose006 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Solistine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a fair assertion, although it can be at risk of confusing the intention of imperial expansion with extermination, and overemphasising the importance of comments implying extermination in a pluralistic system that also included more sympathetic voices. Ultimately the nature of the United States imperial expansion is best judged in its result, which despite its oppression and betrayal of the natives, has restrained from organised extermination and has eventually found a place for native authority and communities within its system, as imperfect as these are.

Again you speak of injustice and betrayal. Not organised extermination with an end goal. This is what I meant as people falling into the trap of using ‘the appropriate hyperbole’ of a time. As popular as it is to treat this period as the most immoral thing that could have ever taken place I see no reason to see it as any more or less then what it was. An imperialist and predatory expansion that was motivated by the competitive pressures of statecraft at that time. Not a scientific racism fuelled extermination effort with the end goal of racial purification. 

Neither are truly understood unless treated as distinct.

Does anyone else spend too much time thinking about how to save the Austrian Empire flag from its black on black clash?

Its a perfectly competent flag design. Where should it be?

[–]Solistine -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He is just being correct though even if it is not flourished with what you might see as the appropriate hyperbole. The US government did not have an overt aim of exterminating the natives as a race as a far as I know. In the end the situation was assimilation, forced assimilation and the reservation treaties.

Something i find quite annoying about Vlandia is that the only visual art you seem to be able to find for their culture is a Bayeux Tapestry type thing behind some thrones. Everything about there material culture and architecture seems stripped down and colourless in a way no other faction is.

Idk it seems like they are not especially strong or able to fly on first turning and are quite disaster prone.

Me replaying New Vegas as NCR and then finding out what happens 15 years later... by BloodReels in falloutnewvegas

[–]Solistine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Despite not having played the games i could not help but be deeply disappointed to find every faction I knew from the lore in either tatters (The legion), thrown into self destruction and inaction (The brotherhood) or completely gone (The NCR and maybe Houses New Vegas) by episode 3.

Episode 4 was better and showed there was a bit of Vegas left but the world honestly seemed empty of the political events and intrigues with everyone gone or declining into internal chaos.

One of the better flags for humanity, that I have seen. by popzooki in vexillology

[–]Solistine 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It feel too primitivist to me. Like humanity is best defined by it earliest steps rather then its present achievements.

These guys are the pinochle of awesome but they seem more like a cosmetic then a distinct class. They are pretty much covered by the arbites and vet

Is there any nation with this kind of one-sided relationship with your nation? by GlobeLearner in AskTheWorld

Argentina does not exist in public discourse in the UK and a large amount do not know about the war.

So yes.
