Nah CK3 changed some things but the base gameplay is fundamentally the same. If you had a working knowledge of CBs and inheritance you’re already halfway done.

Depends on how much you like reading event dialogue.

The fun in Stellaris, at least for me, came from the bajillions of sci-fi references and events. The downside is that a lot of those come from DLC. The base is good by itself though, and you can always “acquire” the add-ons through other means.

Even though they censored the booba!?!???

People have been asking to see the rest of the world since before Fallout 3. For quite a while the excuse was “Only America had a Vault program” but then they added in random British and Irish people so who knows?

The thing is while the retro-Americana has become the accepted standard of Bethesda’s Fallout it was never that big of a deal beforehand. There’s no actual reason you couldn’t see what happened to China or whatever.

Do they have weird ghoulified American troops over there still fighting the war? What’s going on in Africa? India? They’re fun questions.

I mean, I never expect a Bethesda game to come without game breaking caveats on release.

They just used to be worth it anyways.

Clown.

Have you checked out their robust modding community?

Black people.

Maybe it is a call for ethnic cleansing and he means “black people” when he says “liberals.”

I knew a coworker who would say “Canadians” as a dogwhistle. I don’t know why, and refused to ask.

I believe in giving all my money to the Swedes, as my ancestors before me.

At least these Swedes are nice enough to ask first.

That automated settlement mod for FO4 single handedly rekindled my interest in the game.

I’m not building one more goddamn water purifier for you lazy bastards 😤

… Unless I see you have a slight shortage in your build plan

Paradox has gamers by the nuts with forever DLC for Stellaris, Hoi4, and CK3 and we don’t like it…

Or do we?

Planescape Torment 2

It’s 10 clears to actually reunite with a certain someone, it’s literally 50+ to finish the epilogue (you can probably streamline that, but that seems to be the community consensus for epilogue timing)

And I don’t know about you, but I usually read the epilogue of a book.

I just hope seeing the end doesn’t involve “beating” the game fifty times while getting dribbled one line of new dialogue every time that usually didn’t even mean anything.

YouTube exists, bros, who are you kidding

…

I am obviously getting 2 though, so I guess they’re kidding me.

The ads

Don’t be ridiculous, he seized the means of Mew production.

I knew Bethesda would one day come for the West Coast canon.

Oh, well. At least we won’t have to argue with a new generation of nerds who missed all the points and blatantly support the fascist factions.

🤢

Also, btw, the game wasn’t “NCR good.”

They’re an openly genocidal republic beset with corruption and slavery with extra steps.

It’s almost like they were a deliberate mirror of America in the Westward Expansion/Pre Civil War era…

But they had the coolest uniform, and that’s ultimately what people care about.

It’s Japan, not executing the gay guy might as well be a pride flag

If they want Nazis to stop liking Warhammer, they should try putting the satire back in it. It’s been fascist sympathy for decades at this point.

Short of the Emperor coming back and correcting his title to “Dictator of the Proletariat” I don’t even know how’d they’d fix it now.

Canonize Chaos just being rebels with no demons? Horus Heresy already canonized them as being even more fashy than the Imperium. Tyranids or Necrons or whoever winning wouldn’t do shit either. The chuds would just whine about people diverting resources from the war by fighting for “rights” and “food”

Next thing you’ll say BJ wasn’t killing Nazis for Jesus

I don’t like it because I think it was both bad at being a Starship Troopers movie and bad at satirizing Starship Troopers.

At least read the whole book, Paul. Maybe then you’d have known Johnny Rico was Filipino and that particular reveal was actually a rather important detail when it was written. You did a white washing by accident, you crazy Dutch bastard.

Yep. That’s what Verhoeven wanted.

Too bad for him the marketing team decided there needed to be some 5d Bug plan centuries in the making to… Kill one single city by sheer accident?

Funny, because I just actually watched the movie and knew the director’s stated intent.

Well, I can’t say I’m surprised to find someone going to bat for the movie Federation despite everything in the gaming sub.

Got any opinions on how Caesar’s Legion is the only hope for New Vegas?

So the thing is that it’s not just the movie and novels that should be taken as separate canons, it’s the first movie and everything else built off the movie that should be taken as separate, including the pre release materials.

The novel wasn’t a satire of fascism (and wasn’t fascist either, but that’s a whole other thing).

The movie was, but Verhoeven fairly famously didn’t read the book, and everyone around him knew what “due diligence” means so they did the bare minimum, so all the other material built off it has a different direction.

That said, Buenos Aires was definitely a false flag/accident in the movie.

I don’t know if you know much about space, but a small amount of energy applied to an object at a distant point can have significant implications for the trajectory of, say, an asteroid traveling through space.

We see the asteroid that hits Buenos Aires, and a Federation ship bumps into it in space.

It couldn’t possibly have been on a ballistic path to take out Buenos Aires, that bump would have made it miss.

But, okay, maybe it was just lobbed in Earth’s general direction, and that was just a tragic accident? (This is what the supplementary material goes with btw)

With what technology?

The bugs in the movie show absolutely zero technological use. Not one bit.

These are the questions Verhoeven wanted you asking. They’re also the ones every other bit of material ignores, despite the clear criticism (if not actually fair to source) laid out by the movie.

How dare you

-Says he isn’t a dumbass

-Immediately proved he is one, being a dumbass

You sound like a gullible dumbass.

🤡

If her screen name is “Jews14” yeah, probably.

G*mers, lmao

🤡

Your words mean nothing even in your best case scenario.

It’s literally one of their most common dogwhistles and has been for as long as the Internet has existed, lol

If you see a 14 or a 88 anywhere in a username you need to start asking questions about intent.

Even if it was innocent, putting 88 in your username at best makes you unoriginal and old.

You’re half dead and you still can’t figure out a unique name that doesn’t give Nazis cover?

Pathetic.

Yes, yours, bullshitter with two Nazi dogwhistles in your name and a new account.

Do you have any idea at all how sus your username is?

Swap the percentage of ownership and see how fast that changes.

Absolutely massive potential, but the bugs are more funny than game breaking in my experience.

I’ll always remember trying to get a no spot completion on a mission, reloading, and then every guard just not loading in.

You know what, game? I’ll take your pity glitch. Pride is a weakness.
