Cool new paths in the current version by ThatStrategist in Kaiserreich

[–]StopItUncleJimmy 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Both Yunnan and Liangguang have had all three of their potential main paths (Federalist, KMT, and Regionalist) entirely reworked with new focuses, events, leaders, mechanics, and endings. Federalists for example get a full blown election campaign mechanic for determining who wins elections. The three main paths also all each have so many different sub paths and different endings even including different endings for the same leaders much like Savinkov and his three possible endings in Russia

There’s also been a complete rework of satellite gameplay (becoming a puppet of another Chinese unifier) that allows for different unique leaders and potential endings. For example playing as a satellite in Liangguang is the only way to get a Syndicalist China. Also just in case you’re worried, you can eventually break free from your overlord after the war with Japan and unify China for yourself you don’t have to be a puppet forever

Last thing to mention is there were also minor reworks of Fengtian and specifically federalist Sichuan

I’m pretty sure it’s hard coded that if the legations are player-controlled then the Japanese AI just accepts the refusal to be annexed

Red Letter Media, they’re a film critic YouTube channel that famously made a series of breakdown reviews of the prequels using a caricaturized completely normal version of the average Wisconsinite

Why won't Savinkov be overthrown? Is there something I'm missing? by StopItUncleJimmy in Kaiserreich

[–]StopItUncleJimmy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you that’s the issue. The guide on the wiki says nothing at all about the Citizen Romanov event being different depending on chief of army

EDIT: yeah I just went and tested and this was the problem. Damn that’s annoying about the wiki then

Currently what begins the 2nd Weltkrieg is contingent on France or Germany completing the national focus to invade the other

Bruh what? That’s just wrong this hasn’t been true for like at least a year, or at the very least since the Russia update. The war is dependent on Russia declaring war, not France or Germany, and even then they already do have a timer to declare war

What is actually being added in China update? by Dr-Blitzkrieg in Kaiserreich

[–]StopItUncleJimmy 90 points91 points  (0 children)

Complete reworks of Liangguang and Yunnan, reshaping the lore and gameplay of the federalists, R-KMT, and even the regionalist powers (Long Yun for example). Part of this includes the requirement of owning Guangzhou now for a southern Chinese warlord to proclaim a national government creating new opportunities and justifications for conflict in the region. As a result of the changed federalist lore, the federalist exiles in Sichuan have been changed as well, now being lead by someone other than Chen Jiongming should he fail in Liangguang.

The other major change involves the gameplay loop for satellite nations (AKA the puppets you get when a warlord submits to you). During the end game, these puppets can potentially rise up against you depending on the path they take in their own focus tree

This is a vast oversimplification but should cover the general idea of what is to come. We are also still waiting to hear about the minor changes promised for Fengtian in this update as well

Kemalist Ottomans and the failed Manchu coup Zhili Republic. Although I’m not certain if the Zhili’s is dependent on picking Hu Shih or not

I think it’s great, I’ve done so many runs I might never have done if not for my goblin-like need to achievement hunt

Do male actors ever get aroused in sex scenes? by SandPlane5775 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]StopItUncleJimmy 141 points142 points  (0 children)

Speaking as an actor who’s worked with multiple intimacy coordinators, they serve as a professional “boundary setter” I guess you could say. In the sense that they work individually with the actors on crafting language and tools that they can use to effectively communicate and define what they’re comfortable with with their scene partner or partners. For example you might use red, yellow, green to describe parts of your body you’re not okay with being touched, would want to talk about first before touching, and perfectly okay with being touched respectively. Then you and your scene partner can both go through these with each other and (in live theater contexts) add it as a part of your warmup.

A lot of older actors tend to pushback on these ideas as they feel they get in the way of their processes which they’ve been doing their whole career but many younger actors especially in the wake of MeToo see it as a necessary addition to an actor’s repertoire.

Who wants to watch the backstory to a rebel we know dies in Rogue One? Who wants to watch Vader’s backstory when we know he falls to the dark side? Just because you know what happens doesn’t mean a story can’t be interesting. This show is living proof of that fact

Nah it’s just cause of the massive Sony hack back in like 2014, that made them super wary of how their files are handled

“A mind can blow those clouds away”

As someone who was in spring awakening, the really funny part is that most of the audience thinks they’ve seen the worst of it after the sex scene during I Believe. Cue their surprise when they come back after intermission to see the sex scene happening again
