You are being shown the outcome of the things you support. If you don’t like it, don’t support it.

You can’t shrug and say, “welp, if they’re going to do that we might as well make money off it”, then still try to convince me that you honestly believe our foreign policy is guided by a certain morality.

Right, countries can bomb other countries just fine without US support. If the Americans won’t sell them guns, I’m sure Russia would have been to oblige them before this war. Maybe even loan them a contigent of Wagner.

Indeed. And, as I’ve pointed out already, the US props up a Saudi government which has killed more Yemeni civilians than Assad has Syrian ones. So I’m not sure about the idea of exceeded. In fact, given the Arab deaths in wars which don’t involve Russia, the US has clearly killed more people since 2003. Ultimately…

Isn’t that what happened? The game suggests all characters are weighted the same since it doesn’t tell you about the secret bonus points some characters receive. So automatically the game suggests that if you think its weirdly difficult to get a good score with certain characters, its just because you are a shitty…

Thats literally how all empires eventually collapse, because its subjects rebel and the central government can’t maintain its grip on its holdings.

And in 1989 - 1992.

Its questionable if people supported communism or simply supported the idea of a unified Vietnam and a state not run by an utterly corrupt, incompetent Catholic minority with ties to their former French colonizer and who brutally tried to repress the Buddhist majority.

A million people died in Iraq as a result of the invasion.

Yeah, or half the options in Beyond Earth. Terrible. Just some futuristic buzzwords. Hardly any thought on how we would actually colonize a new planet with a completely unknown biosphere.

Agreed, the art style was terrible. Also, I hope they bring back worker units. My greatest joy is watching how the map slowly gets transformed by roads, farms, mines and villages between each city. I want to be the one that builds them, not automate them by building them inside the city and then waiting a few turns.…

“Humans, meanwhile, have been producing literature for tens of thousands of years and we’ve never needed an algorithm to help us.”

You know the facts, you just don’t care. Thats fair, but just say so instead of trying to qualify for the Olympics of mental gymnastics. Why bother having a discussion if you are just going to shut it down like this? The Gonzalo Lira of Kinja.

I don’t think its odd they spend more attention to the Harry Potter game, I think its odd the only time they spend attention on this game is to let everyone know Mick Gordon is a good guy who donates money to Ukraine. Why do you think he donates money to Ukraine and not to some other charity. Or why he donates money…

Just for fun, imagine for a second what this game would look like if you replaced the Soviet Union with Nazi Germany, the premise with one where Germany won and actually developed cool robots and instead of a KGB agent you play as an SS officer. Oh, and before you go ‘Thats Wolfenstein’ imagine that instead of…

No, if the choice is between ‘all of Europe gets occupied and brutalized’ and ‘half of Europe gets occupied and brutalized’ then the second option is certainly the best. But its still a significantly worse than ‘all of Europe gets liberated’.

And then the Winter War happened....

I’d be surprised if they owned more than a PO box on Cyprus. Its a Russian developer operating in Russia. That means they are paying taxes in Russia and spending their money in Russia. How do you think the Russian state pays for this war? Out of Putins pocket?
