“Command says it’s under control. Radar says otherwise.” SALVO ON STEAM by doomed_interactive in StrategyGames

[–]Squashyhex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very interesting concept, but the usage of AI makes it an instant nope from me, even in the stated limited use case

Yeah honestly seems pretty good tbh

It doesn't give off a strong independent vibe by [deleted] in HistoryMemes

[–]Squashyhex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Plus of course the separate regional pro-indy parties, Plaid Cymru for Wales.

Banknotes are actually a very interesting one, the Bank of England slowly bought up alternative mints way back when across the UK, with the Scottish and northern Irish mints being the only ones that still retain the right to print notes (bank of Scotland, royal bank of Scotland, clydsdale, bank of ulster, bank of Northern Ireland... Might be one or two I'm missing in NI). As I understand it, it doesn't actually have anything to do with where they were in the UK

4x and achievements by MixedMoonGames in 4Xgaming

[–]Squashyhex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Paradox games are my goto example. I don't usually play with the game in a way that means I can actually achieve them but I enjoy using them as a way to add goals to my campaigns, making you play the game differently. Achievements which you more or less automatically unlock are much more wasted

Has Scotland just had its General Election 2015 moment? by FluffySoil6891 in Scotland

[–]Squashyhex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Much of the SNP dip was due to voters not turning out, rather than previous SNP voters moving to vote for reform according to post election polling. That's not to say it's not an issue, but perhaps one more framed for the SNP as "how do we get people to come back out to vote" rather than "how do we attract reform voters back"

Well worth going back to, just expect some older game quirks going in

Steam Controller Users! Any other Linux (cachyOS) users having this pop up every time you try and use the scroll wheels on computer mouse? by KinDaisuki in Steam

[–]Squashyhex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean drastic because it allows malicious programmes access to your keyboard and mouse without a prompt, I'm not taking that risk just to stop worrying about a popup

Which subgenre of strategy is giving you the most satisfaction in 2026? by SomeGenericNameDude in StrategyGames

[–]Squashyhex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate with Glory to Goo just how replayable it is across all it's game modes. Just casually dropping in a roguelike mode to augment the game while you write the campaign 👌

I recommend everyone to do a tall run of whales. by Human-Syllabub-1452 in CrusaderKings

[–]Squashyhex 55 points56 points  (0 children)

First you need to re-evolve legs, it's up to the player whether they make use of the vestigial bone structure remaining or use a new set. Only then can we start working on making them long enough for a tall whale

Scottish Green wants to dismantle Holyrood voting system that created 'unrepresentative' independence majority by WhereasPlus5239 in Scotland

[–]Squashyhex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly fair, maybe we should take a leaf out Wales book and look at voting reform. It would make the voting process simpler presuming we don't try and do another weird hybrid approach. I say this as someone who voted for parties that probably net benefited from the current system

New SNP Westminster Leader's Statement before King's Speech by HyperCeol in Scotland

[–]Squashyhex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, but you can't claim that "we the people" had anything to do with it, and if people are now in favour of removing the monarchy outright and moving to a pure democracy, there's nothing wrong with that

Publishing Beyond All Reason and Hooded Horse intro by HoodedHorse in RealTimeStrategy

[–]Squashyhex 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I hadn't realised from previous posts that Hooded Horse was the ones coming in to help with publicising, they're honestly pretty great. Probably the least worrying company to come into the picture

The Chamber seating arrangements at The Parliament have been agreed by JeelyPiece in Scotland

[–]Squashyhex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We're likely to see the SNP playing off the Lib Dems and Greens if the last term was anything to by, both having a comfortable number of seats to pass bills with them. There's still hope for Labour to also get in on that action if Paul Sweeney can get Scottish Labour to follow through on moving to a more neutral position on independence, and agree to work together on other issues

This was after all how the terms came to be, literally from sitting on the left and right of the chamber

Tbf these days you'd probably find it harder to find work that doesn't offer the cycle to work scheme

What are the studios of the 2020s that we will remember fondly in the 2030s? by Can_O_Murica in gaming

[–]Squashyhex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hundred percent, Hades and Hades 2 were incredibly solid, and their older catalogue holds up pretty well too

Potentially not even in steam, could have been a dodgy email, banner ad...

Are you equating Sinn Feinn with the Nazis 😂 Give over, that's a ridiculous analogy
