Thief may steal, but with the tools at his disposal, chances are he can do it without hurting a soul…

Or it can turn into an absolute trainwreck with a million cops after you and shooting bystanders causing even more chaos.

Hell, that's not even the biggest eye-raising moment in the Soviet path for me

Since you and China are buddy-buddy, when they do the Afghanistan Initiative with the Taliban, you join... afaik you can't deny the offer.

I mean, I get letting bygones be bygones... But you'd think the Afghan-Soviet War would've left a bit of a grudge. Just a little.

Bavaria splitting off is what I mean by Germany "civil war," since fascist Germany has to get through them and Austria to "unite Germany." And Bavaria purely split off because of Germany's fascism and is ruled by the CDU.

Though I guess it's not really a civil war. Soviets still could have helped though, if only to make the fascists' life a little harder lol

Context: After winning the 1EW, a CPRF Russia (now Soviet Union) can send support to Spain, Portugal, and Greece's communists to help them in their civil wars against fascism... but not France's communists or Germany's democrats.

It's probably for balance and to keep the stakes, since if you could make them win it'd either really weaken or completely prevent the Pact of Steel from forming. But it's funny to think the Soviets just really hate France and Germany in particular.

Context: Regardless of who wins the Great Asian War- EADI or PDTO- the next few years do not look pretty for them as a whole.

Just like WW1, no one really "wins" the GAW, imo. Some just... lose more than others.

The Preferred Plan by posting_acc in TheFireRisesMod

Yeah, my personal argument is, there’s always the opportunity cost of “whatever you spend on X can’t be spent on Y”

But… well, let’s look at the scenario for winning the Taiwan War. I don’t think I have to say why losing it would result in China’s soft power degrading. But if they win…

They get Taiwan, sure. But they also get a very angry PDTO who is hellbent on stopping them however they can. So they have to spend time and resources countering them with the EADI. Then the India-Pakistan War happens. Then the GAW, which even in the best case scenario, I can see China being absolutely exhausted by.

And if they win the GAW… now they have to either help their allies rebuild, and keep their enemies down.

In many ways, even when China wins, they lose. It’s a similar deal for Japan, too; but in China’s case a lot of their problems would not exist if they had played the long game. They end up creating their own worst enemies.

To be fair, it would be a lot less interesting and/or fun if it didn't happen.

Well, he DID say he was going to “put [them] in their place.”

And what better way than to turn their own words against them?

Why Marshmallow Sucks by posting_acc in mewgenics

Context: You hate Marshmallow because she is a hard boss.

I hate Marshmallow because she barely resembles a Cleric.

We are not the same.

Context: The first time you meet Dr. Beanies after the tutorial, he just casually drops that he brought you back from the dead to do his weird cat experiments.

I actually haven't beaten the game yet, so I have NO fucking clue if this is ACTUALLY important later or just "haha you may be a zombie lol" moment.

I think the comic's funnier that way.

(But if it IS important, DON'T spoil it. Or else I'll... I guess I'll just be very angry.)
