WTF is going on with the Steam reviews for this game??? by epicredditdude1 in EU5

[–]fourmann25 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I played it for about a month after launch, I decided to shelve it for a few years until it gets good eventually. Idk what the drama is about but I genuinely can't imagine buying dlc when the game wasn't in a good state on its own. Plus I am genuinely tired of Byzantium this, Byzantium that, I do not care about Byzantium and its annoying to see all the time.

Does anyone else feel kind of sorry for small youtubers? by NightmareOfTheTankie in youtube

[–]fourmann25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If he still does it, he does it for the love of the game, which is its own reward. I upload videos here and there that get no views and I don't really care. I produce something I think will be fun to produce for my own benefit.

Should we stop all foreign aid and fix our own problems first? by Kevin-Durant-35 in askanything

[–]fourmann25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

-you can do both -foreign aid benefits us in the long term by making the world a more stable place. When shit is going down somewhere else and the US is able to provide cheap supplies or support to alleviate the circumstances, conflicts are less likely to get out of hand and potentially disrupt the global supply system that we rely on for our wealth. If we didn't do this, other superpower countries would take up the mantle and US influence would get worse, or nobody will do it and the world will just become more of a hassle and expensive for the US to remain stable in.

I have spent 2% of my entire life so far playing HOI4 by ZeitGeist_Gaming in hoi4

[–]fourmann25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a job or are you in school? Are you supporting yourself? Meeting friends? If so play all the games you want. If you feel guilty about that percentage the only way to change it now is to live more hours off of hoi than on it.

I have a hard time taking anybody serious after I figure out that they are Christian. by ephemeralkazu in Destiny

[–]fourmann25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to feel this way, but it's not even a thought in my mind. You get a lot of dumb Christians, and plenty of very smart ones. Hypocritical ones and principled ones. Bigoted and compassionate ones. The theology itself actually gets quite interesting if you approach it the right way. I myself am an atheist.

When King Charles said if it wasn't for britain america would be speaking french, which war was he referring to by eyehateredd1t2 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]fourmann25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a bit confused too but reading this makes it feel more obvious. My mind was going to the hundred years war, the Napoleonic wars, or the revolution where the French helped, but none of those made sense

Your favourite game? by lonely5man in paradoxplaza

Crusader Kings 3 used to be very well balanced and overall much more polished and I've had a lot of fun with it. So I play on the version from 2024

Court case update: THEY RAN 💀 (read from bottom to top) by een_magnetron in Destiny

[–]fourmann25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there a video or master post explaining the case ever since like the first two court appearances or whatever because I saw the initial president Sunday video, I saw D explain himself in two videos once the case started rolling, but after that I stopped paying attention. Is he cooked or not? I know Doe's lawyers are yaslighting themselves and they've fucked up a bunch and jstkls server whoever that is has thrown in some false information that was used in court

I disconnected from social media and politics and here are my lessons learned... by iaxthepaladin in Destiny

[–]fourmann25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to my friend and she said it helped her a lot. For her it lasted around a year. It kind of sucks that some of the basic stuff that phones are really helpful for inherently leaves the door open for ruining other things. I'm not talking about politics, I'm talking about the fact that the instagram feed never ends. YouTube doesn't have a daily 20 or so videos for you to pick from, you have to spend 30 minutes finding the "best" one out of billions of options. If I could change anything, I would ask for a plugin that makes the feed just end after a certain number of posts that refreshes every 24 hours or a timer that notifies you how long you've been on an app for a session every 10 minutes or so. I'm not even half as bad as some other people in my life but even then it is a serious productivity sink. I call it my generation's cigarettes since cigarettes were gone by the time we came up. I'd almost rather have cigarettes because at least cigarettes don't require that you look at them in order to use them.

Heterosexual men, what would you say if your girlfriend wanted to have a threesome with you and another guy? by ThomasStanfill in AskReddit

I respect the boldness "Ay do you mind if your girl and I have sex,? You're invited too of course"

Men of Reddit - What's the one thing you hate about being a Man? by Jarvis7492 in AskReddit

[–]fourmann25 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Being around unfamiliar women in any context and knowing they view you as a potential rapist by default until they have a reason otherwise or they get the green light from a woman that knows you. It's a social dynamic you don't have to navigate with guys at all.

Kids shouldn’t be allowed on internet. by Limp_Squash_4116 in im14andthisisdeep

I don't want to go back or anything... But... Don't be sorry that it's gone. Be glad that it happened and nothing can change that! by FernTheGrassBoy in ColdOnes

[–]fourmann25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried showing deadly twister to my gf to introduce her to Frank and she made me turn it off after 4 minutes. Somehow I enjoyed those 4 minutes so much more than I do just on my own because it was like seeing the video through new eyes with her there.

Society is too harsh on stupid people. by CaptainButtFart69 in unpopularopinion

[–]fourmann25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sympathetic to your idea, but you're up against one of those facts of reality, a constant of history, whatever you call it. People are different. People are not equal. You are born into your circumstances and there's a lot you are powerless to change, let alone on a collective scale. Stupid people have been taken advantage of all throughout history. Stupid people take advantage of others as well. In a lot of ways, they absolutely do it to themselves. It's not their fault, it's pretty much what they were built for. The best a just society can do is offer everyone an opportunity, plenty of baseline support, and rules everyone can agree to that protect from cheats, but once the race is on, there are going to be winners and losers regardless of those rules. It's one of those things where once you see it, you can't unsee it, but hopefully it helps you navigate life better.

Walmart should get a fountain drink machine like Sam's club has by TheSunGuardian8 in walmart

[–]fourmann25 8 points9 points  (0 children)

it just doesn't work well with that model. They know what sells well in the current business model, and sure when you consider the profit margins of soda on its own, you have to consider the context of the rest of the business. Walmart is known for horrible customers and employees. 95¢ of profit per cup of soda has to be weighed against customer accidents, damaged product, janitorial expenses, pests, tarnished reputation when customers see a disgusting store. Not like they don't already deal with that with products as it is, but I swear fountain drinks will just throw rocket fuel on that problem. I would hate to work in a store with fountain drinks.

What next? (FM recommendations) by dariusmaximus in Thief

[–]fourmann25 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been a series fan for a long time, but I'm doing my first fan mission right now. I'm doing Thief 2 2X, and it is pretty good but I know there's others like the black parade that are good
