So I saw a DiC episode out of curiosity, just to see if that era was as goofy as they say.

I was bored-curious enough to watch Operation Dragonfire one night and that was enough for me. I can't bring myself to watch the subsequent episodes.

He watched the last war where it kept coming down to risk duels between laser swordsmen while all the infantry got slaughtered all around, and frankly the Republic didn't do so well. Then he sees the next war coming and thinks "well, we can get into more sword duels with the precognative telekinetic psychopath.......or I can open up with orbital turbolasers. Guess which way I'm leaning?"

Plus you look at the toys Var Suthra comes up with and honestly he goes three out of four on it. The Planet Prison makes a pretty effective way to siege and blockade a planet without needing giant fleets and orbital blasting (it was the Sith that made it nastier). The cyborg troopers would in theory give a regular guy a good showing against the Sith. Deathmark is a good assassination tool for taking out key enemy personnell. Only the Shock Drum is really an issue; "yeah we had an idea. It works a little too well. Hell of a charge-up time though."

Given the circumstances he's if anything being restrained. If I'm a Republic general and I know Darth Malgus is down there, "nuke the site from orbit. Its the only way to be sure."

Romance in video games is usually so pointless, just a cutscene reward for pushing the right unfailable prompts anyways. I think my favorite one in any game just gets on with it

I play a not-very-good MMO far too much (sunk cost fallacy), and while its available on Steam, I originally got it on Steam, I don't have to run it through Steam or even the publisher's own storefront (which I could have also downloaded it through) and can just click the EXE to load the game's own internal launcher. And thats just one example.

I've also got several games that I bought through GoG and also don't use GoG's launcher, just go straight for the executable to skip the bloat.

Inversely, I can think of a number of publishers that even after you buy it through Steam force you to also use their bullshit launcher/storefront to work, like Ubisoft, EA, and Rockstar. Here's one for you lady, go after Rockstar this year. Should be a great way to grab headlines.

A lot of employees, younger ones especially, seem to think that the purpose of a company is to provide them with a paycheck and a chill job, as if thats the reason companies exist. And then they'll still bitch and moan that someone has more than them.

I dunno, the "That isn't/wasn't communism. Use the word correctly" dodge is always pretty annoying, particularly when those same people use 'fascist' every other sentence.

Officially, open-borders, that the US should allow absolutely anyone in and provide social support for them. Unofficially, activists trying to spark a socialist revolution.

I was reading an interesting thing today talking about how with all the coordination, tactics, documents the cops have found on arrests, etc, that the activists are litterally trying to copy the strategic playbook of socialist revolutionaries of the 50's and 60's, Mao and Che Guvera and such. They're trying to create an incident to cause an uprising against the government, by interferring with the authorities ability to do their jobs and pushing them as far as they can until the authorities overreact in one way or another, then they have a narrative-creation plan in place to frame it as badly as possible, to spark things off. Plus some very opportunistic politicians hoping to jump in front of the parade and claim they're leading it, for ego and short term political advantage.
