I'm not so sure. Kia/Hyundai certainly don't have those chops, and I think that Toyota would do well by having a true sports brand rather than mucking up with best-selling beige and old people's Lexus. Just like how those cocks at BMW should've bought Saab for a song rather than muck up BMW's branding with FWD and…

Rotary Lotus? I giggle warmly at the thought. Another solid contender is the Honda F20C series (S2k) I4. But really, for a company like Lotus, referencing their position rather than their brand aspirations and history, the best option is the one that's the most flexible and forgiving while still being cost effective.…

But Toyota is willing to honor the warranties regardless of what Lotus does to them. Or so said Lutz on Autoline After Hours a few years back. That alone is reason enough to keep using them.

But yeah, it's a shame Proton won't sell them to someone... or that nobody wants to take Lotus off of Proton's hands. Imagine if…

Well, this is helpful for future reference.

Well, remember she's thrown into the worm pit because that's their training method. You get molested by worms and then something happens.... the Matou/Makiri way of doing things was never really well explained, then again it's not like Zouken wasn't the permanent head of the household with his bug vampire status.

He's thinking of FSN. Unless he's thinking of Sakura.

That's FSN.

So, the relationship between a master and a servant is that the Holy Grail (which is not THE Holy Grail) provides the magic for summoning a servant, but the master is responsible for their magical upkeep. The protagonist of FSN isn't really a legit mage, but the (female) supporting protag is; so they find…

To be fair, the original anime isn't really the first route at all. It's the first route for the first half of the anime, and then a bastardized entity drawing from all three routes for no damn reason.

Read the visual novel. That is all.

Or, at the very least, they actually cancelled it.

Ghost is still in development purgatory.

It's worth mentioning that Gundam (the Universal Century anyways) actually has reasons for why it's like this. Minovsky physics, and the resulting Minovsky particles, destroyed our ability to bring to use guided weapons systems.

Well, he was a deadly son of a bitch on the moon, that's for sure.

After Charlemagne? I'm honestly not sure. At the very least, they claim to have a few more ideas in the pipe.

One easy one would be inland republics. The Republican DLC focused on coastal/maritime republics, but it didn't model states like Florence. After that, we're low on options.

They've said that it can't happen. Not only would representing Asian monarchies and bureaucratic systems be all but impossible, but the engine simply can't handle the amount of characters required... nevermind anything else.

Crusader Mings is going to have to wait until CK3 at least.

To give helpful advice, one needs to know which brick walls you're running into. The generic advice is to start in Ireland (1066, not 876) or in Mali for the Muslims. They're pretty isolated and allow for people to dick around without world-ending consequences.

That would be the concept/load art from The Old Gods dlc.

Pretty appropriate choice considering there's yet another major DLC in the works.

Wait, have Gundam back in the US? Did we miss some dubs? I moved on to fansubs a while back (I'll pay them back in model kits), so I'm out of the loop. But yeah, more Char for everyone.

I'm kinda surprised (and incredibly happy) that this isn't Seed - a Kira Aurus would entail a matching, pink, Lacus Clyne themed…

Or you didn't tie something down right. I used to have this weird shuddering noise that would only produce under load... naturally I thought it was the GPU, the CPU cooler, or the harddrive; after-all, these are the primary moving parts of a system. But no, I was wrong, what was happening was that the GPU under load…

Thanks for that.

I haven't watched one of her videos in a while, but I remember my primary frustration was that the work she's trying to do is actually rather important... it's just a shame that she isn't doing it that well. As a result, the credibility of her general argument tends to suffer. This also extends to the…

I was going to ask if you'd post your syllabus, as they tend to be nice overviews of the course, but I made a point to read all the posts in this thread first and I respect your desire for anonymity.

However, in lieu of that, would you happen to know of any resources that spell out the issues with Sarkeesian's work…
