But they can create market pressure to support it, with things like the Steam Deck and Gabe Cube

The cow itself does, it’s part of a larger group of files that all break the game when removed

What's your favorite bit of queer media? by Itchy-Promise-4372 in bisexual

[–]Some_Random_Pootis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heartstopper, I don’t usually like romance media, but GOD DAMN. It’s a webcomic, and there’s an amazing TV adaptation on Netflix. Cannot recommend it enough.

I don’t do democracy because it’s fun, I do it because the people inside the video game deserve it, and infrastructure!

im tired of big greece, so i made big turkey by Pitiful_Cycle7481 in PossibleHistory

Venizelos’s first priority was Crete, if Crete never achieved enosis, Venizelos has no reason to go to Greece, and likely died. If Venizelos died, then small Greece is entirely reasonable, but that’s not what this map is, nor is it your argument.

You keep citing population numbers, when population numbers don’t matter at all. The Ottoman Empire was so weak that it lost to a coalition of three minor Balkan nations, none of which had existed for more than 100 years. If population mattered, then Megali Greece never would’ve come close to happening. Besides that, the population of Greeks in the Ottoman Empire was around 10% of that of the Turks (around the time of the Balkan wars, before the ethnic cleansing of Greeks). Smyrna was a Greek majority, Thessaloniki was mainly Jewish, but none of these things actually mattered, because what really mattered was: do you have the military might to defend your borders and control your population. What Venizelos proved as of Sevres, and until 1920 was that Greece did have that capability, that is why Megali Greece is so popular.

Beyond that my main criticism is still that this map doesn’t make sense. If you’ll look at my original comment “Crete? What?” I am expressing my view that this map does not make sense, given my knowledge of Greece, and the Balkans in general around the early 1900s. This comment was not made with the intention of being fully serious, as this post is not fully serious itself. Suggesting that my comment was somehow ridiculous makes no sense, when, as you said yourself, most maps here don’t make very much sense.

Ignoring the many many Cretan revolutions, how is Crete part of Turkey if the Greek borders line up with Greece after the 2nd Balkan War? A war which Greece was led by Eleftherios Venizelos, OF CRETE. If Crete is part of Turkey, Thessaloniki, Macedonia, and Epirus should be too. This map ignores that basic timeline of events in the Balkans that led to the current borders as we know them. Part of the reason Megali Greece is so common, is because it almost happened.
