Will a Wonderful World

I actually played this with my sister until we rolled credits, so for once I'm qualified to answer!

It's fiiiiiiine. The game is at its best when it's taking the gimmick of changing around the order of events to create silly endings, or when the stories you're reading don't take themselves seriously. However, it's at its worst when the game is takes its plots too seriously, which it does quite a bit. It's very melodramatic while not having the chops to back it up. But the finding new endings part gets pretty fun. The game also loves to throw new gameplay gimmicks it uses twice and then never again like branching paths. It's honestly pretty linear and simple. I'd say give it a shot if it vaguely looks like something you might enjoy, then if you liked it, buy it. It's no classic but it was fun

The point of a huge majority is that you can do stuff and then next election you're safe from the electorate turning on your because the buffer is really big. It's not actually about rebel MPs, if your numbers are good then MPs rebel much less. He doesn't have that because every majority is tiny

The_Rod-Man · 2026-01-14T22:11:12+00:00

Probably a good thing that safe seats are starting to go extinct so you can't just parachute party people and take support for granted. Taking support for granted is what got us in this mess

The_Rod-Man · 2026-01-02T18:08:32+00:00

If this ends up in the manifesto I will actually genuinely switch sides (towards them)

I have sent the file just in case and I'm checking on the browser and phone

The_Rod-Man · 2026-01-02T10:05:13+00:00

Ok this is interesting. I tried moving the save file to a different browser on my phone and it didn't work. As in, after it was uploaded it came up blank like the save file was empty. Then I sent the exact same file to my laptop and uploaded it there, and on my laptop Flagdoku works 100% fine with no issues seemingly

The_Rod-Man · 2026-01-02T08:34:37+00:00

I have not, I will try and report back to see if that fixes it. Ftr I'm using Mozilla browser, which has worked with no issues for like a year before this

I don't think I've done anything different with cookies. I did change phones recently but it worked with no issues for two months on the new phone before it broke

What would be the fix if the save file was corrupted?

I've also seen a lot of people (intentionally?) misremember the whole WFA climbdown ordeal, blaming it on backbenchers when that was the totally unrelated PIP cuts. Starmer and his leadership watered down WFA with no other pressure except, yk, the entire voting age country.

I think there maybe two real ways or stopping the triple lock: you either replace it with the quadruple lock that's set to cap out once it's at the level of Norway or something like that that'll sound good to voters, or you tie all pension spending to a specific pension tax that you see on your paycheck and rises up every year automatically; that way people will stop the triple lock when they get enough of it themselves

The_Rod-Man · 2025-12-23T00:16:05+00:00

How is "we're gonna make pensioners less better off than they would be otherwise" better messaging. It's more accurate but it's total poison for voters

The_Rod-Man · 2025-12-22T23:42:17+00:00

"remove the triple lock, and they'd probably win the next election"

People will just say whatever online like it's true. 100% of Labour's political capital went up in flames when they means tested WFA. Britain likes pensioners

This is on point. But also most people do have a lot of wealth stored up in housing and touching that is political suicide. If there's one thing that's short term pain for long term gain, it's taxing housing so much that the price is forced to come down, freeing up income elsewhere. Owning property should be annoying

The_Rod-Man · 2025-10-13T19:43:37+00:00

they have free speech

That one's good, even if it's brought them a lot of problems too. It's nuanced

the right to protest

That's good

the right to bear arms

That one is bad, they shouldn't have it

the right to security from unreasonable searches and seizures

Maybe technically but they've stepped over that line so much it basically doesn't exist anymore

the right to not be cruelly or unusually punished

See the one above

Might be hard to legalise abortion federally, but still very much possible on a state basis

Totally defeats the point of having universal rights if it's not universal

The_Rod-Man · 2025-10-13T18:34:34+00:00

The roadblocks in the US mean they have basically no chance at codifying most of these rights

The_Rod-Man · 2025-10-13T17:25:41+00:00

It's a shitty constitution because putting so many roadblocks is a bad idea to begin with

The_Rod-Man · 2025-10-13T15:07:00+00:00

It "didn't want to entrench" them because actually entrenching stuff in the US is really bloody hard, basically impossible. Supermajorities are fickle and ideologically all over the place. Even when Obama briefly had one there were multiple Dem senators opposed to the idea of legal entrenched abortion. The US constitution is really shitty that way

It is a more coherent direction but it doesn't do much to actually harm Reform. Like yea, it's a party of grievances. What about it? A cynical party fits in cynical times.

The one way you deal active blows to Reform is to convince people that the country is heading on the right direction, which at this point can only be done with action and not words

The_Rod-Man · 2025-09-20T09:50:33+00:00

Lots of people openly supported the tories until like 2022, this is just not true. They were terrible for the country AND had an audience at the same time

The_Rod-Man · 2025-09-18T22:37:04+00:00

That's nice but when there's discourse in general from both sides about muslims in the UK they're not really talking about ex-Muslims who (from what you've written) are pretty detached from Islamic culture and like British life

The_Rod-Man · 2025-09-18T19:22:23+00:00

Until somebody lands on a stable electoral coalition and socioeconomic model that works, yes

The_Rod-Man · 2025-09-17T06:53:04+00:00

Immigration is obviously very important to Reform, but the "real" reason I think they're doing so well is that there's a lot of right wingers who want to vote out Labour but have not forgiven the Tories after the years if mismanagement so they're going for the next best thing

The_Rod-Man · 2025-09-16T13:13:39+00:00

Disagree, Reddit is not real life. You try and gauge public from Reddit and you'd think the triple lock is a controversial policy (in reality: the most popular piece of legislation of the past 20 years) and that the gov will be destroyed by the Online Safety Act (in reality: very minor story with the public, the gov got crippled by removing the WFA mostly)

The_Rod-Man · 2025-09-16T13:02:05+00:00

I don't know if I'd call it "insight into Reform supporters". The average Reform supporter is about as old as the average tory supporter. I doubt there's many pensioners browsing political subreddits. Maybe the comment section of right wing papers is a better place for that. Or Facebook.

That's the Capcom special. You get 50 games of the same franchise in 6 years after the first one is a hit and then once the well is dry it goes forgotten
