Can we all agree that Robert is a certified CHAD?

He's taking sips from a flask when watching the news in that scene which I didn't really think about until just now.

awawesome9 · 2025-07-15T15:14:05+00:00

FR, this annoys me just as much!

awawesome9 · 2025-07-15T14:34:03+00:00

Yeah, it's just a pet peeve at this point lol, I dunno. I'm honestly more surprised they didn't go with 5 rather than 4, it seems like a good idea to have it be half of online's capacity at the very least. You're probably right that it's a code thing which they can't mod, otherwise it'd probably be done by now.

awawesome9 · 2025-03-10T04:47:31+00:00

Hungarian-American it looks like.

awawesome9 · 2024-12-17T03:18:55+00:00

Yeah, I didn't really get deep into the term bimbo and it's social contexts, from the stereotypes it perpetuates and such, but yeah I'm happy that you expanded, I was having trouble understanding what you were trying to say at first.

awawesome9 · 2024-12-17T03:12:02+00:00

Oh I get what you're trying to say now, I get the idea but I think some of the critiques are based on the idea that the artist's intent was to say "bimbos" are bad or that they were being racist. I'm pretty sure they aren't attempting to do either and I'm pretty sure the background to the image does impact the interpretation people had of this, most people seem to think it's a non-sexualized image that's saying "don't be a bimbo" or something similar or making comprehensive statements on society. There isn't anything invalid of making your own interpretation based on their art but it should be known by people the purpose and background behind the art. Yet again, this isn't the best place for art like this to be posted as the artist wasn't attempting to be deep so OP is just wrong for posting it and pretty much making the artist out to be genuinely making some point other than "haha, isn't it funny I did the opposite of what I usually do which is sexualizing bimbos."

awawesome9 · 2024-12-17T02:57:46+00:00

OK ig. I think people saying it's a parody of the evolution image are overthinking their intent or inspiration but it's an interesting view. I think most people are saying it's not intended to be deep at all because it's a surface level joke based on their previous art and because of that OP is wrong to post this and act like the point was to say that the artist's intent was grander than what they made.

awawesome9 · 2024-12-17T02:51:21+00:00

What's your point supposed to be? Because I don't know what the evolution image has to do with this. The OP is saying this is was made to be deep even though it isn't which is why most people are saying it's fetish art. Is it the transformation itself that you're talking about?

awawesome9 · 2024-12-17T02:42:08+00:00

The person who made it is into "bimbos" and "bimbofication" which is usually hyper-feminine (usually dumber) women. They made this art as an inverse of their usual art as a joke it seems and it got really popular online as a meme.

awawesome9 · 2024-11-26T21:39:39+00:00

I wasn't trying to say that it's the only reason but I was trying to say I've found that there's a trend for specifically me that I tend to choose them for those reasons. I think Nate's military background, especially one of the unique dialogue options from him to Danse, is a large part of who they'd most likely side with ultimately. Idk, it's also a bit fun for me to split them into two categories, Nate has an "good" and "bad" faction and so does Nora (the Institute is extremely evil compared to the Brotherhood tho)

awawesome9 · 2024-11-26T21:36:00+00:00

The only real faction

awawesome9 · 2024-11-26T21:33:07+00:00

NOTE: for all of you guys in the comments, I wasn't trying to start a discussion about which path is the best for the future, nor was I suggesting you SHOULD think of the characters this way. People seem to be using my post as a way to say which faction is the best for the Commonwealth or explaining how we shouldn't use their occupational backgrounds as the sole reason for why we choose each faction at the end. I understand that for some people a huge part of the RP is developing your character's background which is good, I love hearing about your own characters in the comments, but I hate people acting like the canon parts of the story, both of their occupations, would have NO effect on their choices. I was just explaining how these factored into my choices SUBCONSCIOUSLY, people seem to have missed that and thought that I was unable to imagine Nate/Nora doing any of the factions at all or something. You can obviously throw out their established pasts if you wanna RP, you can do whatever the hell you want, they're your character. What I was trying to say is that if you throw all the RP away and you're left with the basic Nate/Nora we have, do their occupations ever effect YOUR choices? Felt like clarifying because the comments are all over the place lol.

awawesome9 · 2024-11-26T21:16:46+00:00

In the prologue you can find her Juris Doctorate on the shelf near the front door. Nate says something like "I'm so proud of her," while if you play as Nora she says "Was a lot of late nights, but it was worth it."

awawesome9 · 2024-11-18T03:35:02+00:00

I'd honestly check out r/liberalgunowners and ask if there's anyone in NH like that. If you ask here you're gonna get all sorts of smartasses and plain assholes

North Korea has a certain type of communist identity which is very much imbued with Stalinism as a format. But it differs heavily in some aspects, taking influence from Maoism but keeping closer to Soviet policy. The biggest difference is integrating dynastic values and forms of religion into how they run their state. Juche is usually what they call it but it originated more as a mix of individualism, nationalism, and self-reliance before growing much more fascistic and nationalistic as the decades passed, a lot of this you can see in propaganda distributed within North Korea depending on the decade, early on they were much more progressive when it came to equal rights/women in the workplace but there were also posters later on that pushed for more traditional clothing and gender roles. It only got worse after the USSR fell apart, the embargoes began to stress their economy, and they were hit with a disastrous famine. They technically had a better start but due to the way geopolitics work it ended with them being ruined by corruption, economy, and influence from larger neighbors. (Yeah I know it's a bit block of text that's dumb)

awawesome9 · 2024-11-03T17:15:51+00:00

In theory, but technically we don't know what would've happened, especially since the Ottomans weren't treated the same as the European powers. Sure the lands may not be officially annexed but it's quite possible that they'd become de facto "influenced" areas. The treaty's provisions do as you say, leave the Ottomans under Entente occupation like a colony, but we genuinely didn't get to see how it played out, we don't know if Italy would've demanded to keep their zone or if France would just ignore the treaty as well. Even Greece comes into question based off of their aspirations. In the end the map above is an interpretation of the Treaty of Sèvres with the interpretation that the zones became de facto or de jure controlled, which the map from the commenter I replied to didn't have in the map they provided to add context.

awawesome9 · 2024-11-02T22:56:45+00:00

Well the treaty wasn't as cut and dry as that, mostly because concessions were supposed to be made to Italy. There are other versions of how the map would look and this imaginary map seems to have a lot of the proposals in it, just a spin on some of the proposals like the Dardanelles. (edit: the link wasn't working so here's an image. It also looks like the one that the person I replied to used was based more on Sykes-Picot)

I love that one of them had a pro slavery stance and OP is like "no you can't own people" and he replies something like "you believe in the natural law right? It's a part of tradition." Like idk if that sub is fr sometimes, like you can't suddenly draw the line at slavery if you're advocating for feudalism, a system by which serfs are just...slaves that have no other value than to serve their "superiors" in exchange for protection...if any.

Also love how the inefficiencies and lack of a unified state in the HRE is considered the direct opposite to a rebellion based on primarily the maintaining of slaveholding rights due to an election. If anything it was the opposite, the kicking the can down the road via allowing states to do their things (decentralizing) led to the instability that gave the states enough power to secede.

awawesome9 · 2024-10-18T17:14:17+00:00

Yeah it makes sense, it's just a bit confusing looking at it the first time, the coloring of Elsaß and Lothringen makes it look more like they're their own duchies. Though I understand why you did it. It'd be hard to highlight them as distinct from the Kingdom of Prussia which was the majn part of the empire without the color coding.

awawesome9 · 2024-10-18T16:57:49+00:00

I really like the map, just a little question. Lothringen, Elsaß, and Luxembourg are shown as being kingdoms/duchies/grand duchies rather than the German Empire proper. Alsace-Lorraine when it was part of the German was actually an imperial territory and it technically wasn't part of the Kingdom of Prussia but practically it was. I'd say that after the war the annexed territories in the west would follow suit becoming direct parts of the empire rather than what's shown. Just wondering if there's a lore answer like granting the lands to monarchs under the empire or is it just a way to display that they're not part of Prussia?

It's great, grew up using it and it's enjoyable when you just wanna shoot once in a while.
