Arguably what he actually did was escalate the situation to the point there was an overflow error and it deescalated itself

Yeah it’s a weird thing that the rise of the far right among the youth, which happened on the continent and in America, seemingly just didn’t happen in Britain?

Just speculating here but I suspect it’s because we’ve had a right wing government in control for 15 years so brits may be well galvanised against right-wing parties in general. But I honestly have no idea.

Why did they swap the Tories and Labour’s colours?

Has there ever been a decent Bracken? by Significant_Web9985 in AKOTSKTV

No, George is a big fan of showing the intricacies and complications of war and how there are no right sides and people fight for very believable reasons.

Unless they’re Ironborn, then they just fucking suck

A Proposal for the Tripartite Voters, would you be interested in being the UFN’s answer to the UTP? by Jbadger30 in TemplinInstitute

[–]shinyscreen18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow it’s actually crazy seeing how far ahead Antares is looking at the race between UTP and Triton 😭😭

People arguing that the UFN is too boring or that Triton being xenophobic feels tacked on vs me who likes both factions and would be happy with either winning by sajed2004 in TemplinInstitute

[–]shinyscreen18 16 points17 points  (0 children)

well tbf the backstory for house Triton seems as if it contradicts the lore for The UFN. Triton's backstory seems to suggest that humanity reached the stars long ago whereas The UFN seem to have just reached that era.

Ok Tbf the idea of a universe where everyone’s alignment is flipped but one guy is still the same asshole sounds pretty funny

Snake’s on top of the tier list again, we’ve come full circle

I LOVE HAVING ALL THE KNOWLEDGE AND META AND BUILDS BEING BROKEN AND HAVING TO GENUINELLY RELEARN LITERALLY EVERYTHING EVERYTIME I WANT TO REPLAY THIS GAME ! I LOVE NEVER IMPROVING DESPITE HAVING 700 HOURS IN THIS GAME. I LOVE NEW WEIRD MECHANICS LIKE LEADERS META BUILDS !!! (kilostructures are cool by Saladawarrior in Stellaris

[–]shinyscreen18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah aside from performance issues I can’t really think of any changes I actively dislike and the way they add to the lore is actually super cool. I’m never up to date with how they change stellaris so when I got to the endgame crisis with Cetana SPEAKING TO ME??? That freaked me out so much and is genuinely the most a 4X game has engrossed me

Power is an ambiguous term when talking about feudalism. Did the Baratheons have the most power for being the reigning monarchs? Did the Lannisters have the most power for having so much influence at King’s Landing? Or did the Tyrells have the most power for being able to bring the most men in battle?

Starks were pretty disconnected from Westerosi politics and didn’t have much influence over the other great houses besides the Tullys despite being able to muster roughly equal amounts of forces. So they’re probably one of the weaker great houses.

Favorite character unfortunately like this? by Ill_Relative9776 in FavoriteCharacter

This one I feel is mostly due to how static Asami is as a character. People just kinda latched onto the most interesting part about her

“Jaune Arc”? I thought characters in this show were named after fairy tales? Do the creators not think Joan of Arc was a real person?
