this is great

make it make sense

I truly do wonder if this is brain poisoning or a cynical attempt at shaping a narrative. I suppose it could be both

every time I see this stuff I feel some sort of way because it's abhorrent and against everything I stand for. but on the other hand this stuff is electoral poison and seeing the right Twitter poison itself is comforting in a "we're going to win" kind of way. I hate you but please continue vibes

to be fair they plan on doing an authoritarian coup and an Evangelical/rad-cath day of the rope. voting wont be part of the process
December 9, 2025 at 4:20 PM
i mean, yes. we are talking stuff like quiver-full or handmaids tale. i met people as a young rad cath who I can almost guarantee you are full on quiver-full now

I think dawn of war and Total war are pretty different honestly. Even the style of real-time battles is very different.

this is great, world war z but world war m instead

neurodivergency is neutral, it just is a fact of life. if I had a choice I would choose not to be but at the same time I should be given basic rights and accommodations in the same way everybody who needs help is.

they cut your funding and call you an enemy of the people but you still hold water for them, fucking dumb

political becoming "controversial" has been devastating to our society. people getting yelled at by their niece at Thanksgiving destroying the Civic fabric of the world's only hyperpower

okay so you agree that people in urban and suburban areas should keep their cats inside
December 4, 2025 at 3:49 PM
ah but you see i care less about what the cats want and more about the billions of birds.

I don't think the adopted here was necessary, not scolding just pointing out
December 3, 2025 at 1:47 PM
that might be true, but the second part is certainly not. video games are much harder to make than people realize. it is not a matter of getting five people in a basement to produce a AAA level game unless you want them taking 7 years like the silksong people or it being shit. ca isn't even that bad

historians have vendetta against it not because people who know better promulgate the idea but because world war II is a pop culture staple with vast amounts of media outside of historiography that *does* portray it as the good war. they arent pushing back against academics, it's the History channel

its the dnd/pathfinder. path doesnt make money being a good competitor to dnd it makes money by appealing to people who like both because they are fans of the genre. genre fans usually spend more money and arent zero sum. they arent scared off by a bad release but they have dif tastes than die hards
November 30, 2025 at 4:24 PM
dont think this will help, people who play total war dont just play total war. the competition is all video games alongside all other media. the attention economy makes this old style of direct competition pointless for all but the most die hard fans who are such a small number they dont matter.
