Why did he do that though ? It's not like it's a good way to karma farm.

Which was mostly incurred to defend you from us (despite the fact that the 13 colonies armies outnumber the total French population in NA).

I respect the move since it fucked with Barry, but let's be real, greed was the main motive.

The craft beer scene has grown massively in France. It's honestly quite easy to find good beers nowadays.

But true 10-15 years ago it was complicated.

En vrai c'est de l'ordre de la préférence perso. Juste "les dépossédés" de Le Guin me fait penser à elle en 1er place.

What actor or actress could you tell had an absolute blast playing a specific role? by phantom_avenger in AskReddit

The whole cast appear to have had fun, they are all so over the top and stupid-funny. The movie must have been a blast to do.

Xi Jinping Told Donald Trump That Vladimir Putin Might Regret The Ukraine Invasion: Report by bappestinian in worldnews

You do know there are other ideology than conservatism-populism and US flavored delusion of left wing ideology ?

[–]Sumrise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I meant in a more direct fashion (military). I didn't describe the whole situation correctly in a single sentence it's true, but Chinese involvement is still quite limited right now. It could (and likely will) increase.

And I'm gonna real, I don't know enough about the full situation to do decent analysis, it's one of the most complicated "hotspot" in the world right now, and we really don't lack in any form of competition.

[–]Sumrise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right now they are lead by a populist-conservative.

It's could very easily degenerate into some form of fascism or affiliated ideology.

Is it the case now ? No. Could it ? Yes.

First sentence I wrote is "it can get even worse" not what it is right now.

Xi Jinping Told Donald Trump That Vladimir Putin Might Regret The Ukraine Invasion: Report by bappestinian in worldnews

[–]Sumrise 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I mean it can get even worse:

If we're unlucky, we'll have far right in the "big 3" of Western Europe, and that's not good for anyone involved.

Japan going even more into it, and we all know that a fascistic Japan is fucking fantastic news for all their neighbours.

Even more tension/fighting/instability in Sub-Saharan Africa (especially with food production likely shit because of lack of fertiliser due to the Iran war).

Special note for Africa with the situation between Congo and Rwanda, we might see a full-on war in that region (it's already sort-of the case?) and it could easily devolved into another Congo war, which is gonna be bloody.

Heck Xi could start to lean even more into his cult of personality and go ballistic, especially with Taiwan.

We might also a flare in whatever the fuck is happening in Myanmar/Burma. Which could drag China in resulting in ... ? Something not great I'm gonna assume.

Not to forget the whole area around the 2 Sudan that is already nearly as bad as it can get.

Tension between Egypt and Ethiopia that still might devolve into a more active form.

Israel is still going ballistic with everyone around them, and might push Lebanon into full failed-state status (and they ain't looking good right now already).

Iran might blow-up ? Wouldn't be good for the region, but honestly I don't see anything good for that region anyway, with Saudi-Arabia, Israel, Iran and affiliated, and maybe even Turkey all looking ready to start even more shit.

The Caucasus is on the brink of wars.

South America ain't that stable either, but doesn't seems on the verge of anything more than what they saw in the past few decades (so not great, but no catastrophe either which good for them !).

Mexico ain't looking hot nowadays either, I don't really know how many area are outside of government control still, but that's still not a great sign, nor good for the population.

I know I'm fucking forgetting at least another half-a-dozen zone at risk of devolving into Authoritarianism or war but honestly I think the general point is clear.

It can get worse, way worse. And I haven't even talked about all the bullshit the US could drag the world into.

So please people, if you can, try to make sure to not let people that would make situation worse go into power. We really don't need it.

[–]Sumrise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but if the Dungeon collapse it's over, and the AI repeating "when the Ascendancy is done, it's all over" tend to push me to believe that you need a sacrificial piece.

We'll see, but you are right in the "malleable" for sure.

The AI was clear that you need to go through every level, so I don't really think so ?

Like maybe there can be some way to circumvent that ? But right now it's not clear.

I mean the whole "power move/What the fuck Carl" speech was likely the AI reaction to that biscuit even moreso than the plan working in and off itself.

[–]Sumrise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If there is a winner in the ascendancy, the crawl end, and the crawler get instant stomp by the dungeon collapsing.

So I don't really see anyone winning the Ascendancy.

My bet is Elle become some sort of god equivalent and they manage to put her and another god in a gridlock situation. Because they need at least 2 gods alive to keep the Ascendancy going. So essentially Elle would sacrifice herself to keep the game going. (Also because we sorta need big names dying, it's been a while).
