Community college is certainly a better model for mass accessibility, but it's still just a modified version of aristocratic universities. We can do better pretty easily from a technical perspective. The political aspect is harder of course.

It makes no sense. You'd need to come up with a new model from the ground up that was actually designed for the purpose to which you want to put it.

The purpose of the Ivy League is to connect young elites to future partners and patrons and why do people otherwise digging very deeply into the concept of disrupting entrenched structures of social elitism think this model can be expanded across society?

And the money for these institutions, even as public universities started springing up orginated from American and northwestern European dominance of global trade income and capitalist donations.

An institution designed to funnel public money to the hobby interests of wealthy aristocrats, and later merely wealthy oligarchs. And to help the wealthy elite intermingle much like a dating service for the old money class, with a partonage service on the side.

That's the first article in this debate that I've seen even attempt to view the situation objectively.
You see a lot of people blathering about US police descending from slave patrols, and what that means.
Very few of those same people are considering the origins of the modern university.

Here's a screenshot of the section about you. The article is very basic imo, barely even pop science level.

Yeah Stellar Monarch 1 and 2 ran into a similar issue as Star Dynasties regarding the military stuff. They both wanted to focus on non-combat. Compared to Starsector which had very high quality real time battles and a big focus on combat.

Really should have moved at least 25,000 units. It's not as good as say Star Sector but it's pretty good.

In my view a lot of people really don't understand how much an indie game being successful is raw luck. Which is wild given how well known the story of AmongUs becoming a hit is.
I'd say StarDynasties was a 7/10 before the family DLC and an 8/10 after. As far as indie games go.

I was posting about it and was bit surprised how little attention it was getting. Think a lot of the audience was still locked in to like CK2 and then CK3? He didn't have much name rec or big marketing. You had to be watching videos about "15 upcoming strategy games" to see it, or me looking myself.

A large portion of potential audience for Star Dynasty really wants a *ton* of player control over things. So not being able to offer a marriage or a planet or w/e was a really big drama fest, especially knowing the mechanic existed for the AI to request things. Huge steam forum drama in early days.

Historical games have insane limitations for a lot of reasons. Consider Paradox where people have a view of history that is objectively wrong but whine about the game being ahistorical all the time. Huge problem for Paradox. Have to stick in lots of railroading, too.

There was a huge backlash when Glen refused to let you make a family, so he had to eventually make a DLC for it later. That really hurt the launch. Among other issues. And people really did hate the feeling of randomness. Also they super hated how you couldn't offer deals, only accept them.

The genderless stuff and the playersexual stuff is a financial thing you can't avoid with a high production value waling around rpg.

As someone working on a game heavily based on social simulation, the main problem for narrative RPGs is having dialogue and scripted plots that are actually quite short/simple. The minute you include having scripted dialogue you are stuck with "max rep" situations.

The cheese was friendship, ironically. And also getting a lucky map setup. But yeah the game was worth it. Plenty of fun. The major issue that cost the dev in my view was his insistence on the red=0%,blue=100% and yellow=1%-99% action success system. People hated that, did lots of savescumming, etc.

Because the Atlantic is all the people anyone even remotely left of center hated until Trump unveiled a new even more insane political ideology. Or non-ideology in his case I guess.

Do I think that decision makers who are biased against military history care more about that bias than the budget? Yes. Bret has specifically stated that there is such a bias. Do I think that these same people do not care for the typical student who wants more military history? Also yes.
