For the sake of neutrality of the art, even propaganda pieces should be considered even if not accepted.

Played Sniper Elite V2. At first i thought it was the first Sniper Elite remade, but it’s actually about the V2 missile program. Weird, I know. My best achievement in the game that for some silly reason isn’t an achievement has to be randomly hitting an NPC in both testicles. Beats 3 heads in a row by a longshot.

Wonder if one can hit 6 nuts in a row or might it be too much to ask for? …

Anyway, in Old World, Assyria declared war on me because I was weak and then spent dozens of years doing nothing, which allowed me to build up an army. They had slingers and warriors, I had spearmen. Turns out when your units pierce into the second row, spit roasting your enemies can be an effective strategy, if you manage to position them properly. First time conquering an enemy in this game.

But I’ll probably quit soon because just as in the Civilization games, I fail at being the conquering type. Sorry Assyria, the game made me do it.

Looking to go through my library, my next try will probably be Airborne Kingdom. While I lack the imaginative creativity I’ve seen others achieve, i believe my floating bucket of bolts will nonetheless stick to the skies as i peacefully wander about that weird little world.

Got into Old World. I have zero planning and just roll with it, which led me to start a war against Egypt with my 4 elephants and several axemen thinking i was hot stuff. Egypt had 3 onangers nested on hills, a dozen pikemen and a random ballista.

I was annihilated from the militaristic point of view.

Still won the match through ambitions though since they happened to be a match with what I still had going for me.

I was annoyed though. They were doing 8-10hp damage per hit at times and i was only doing 3. My small army went from hot to not in only a few turns and i couldn’t figure out why. Turns out i just suck at it.

Anyway, if you’ve played Civilization, you’ll easily see the influence. The card and character randomness can be fun or frustrating and you might find yourself wondering at times why your resources aren’t growing as high as you were expecting them to. Better watch for that discontent!

I only have the base game so no comment on the DLCs.

That happens because it’s a social act. People who don’t want to, but have to due to some sort of obligation or as an indirect action towards achieving something else.

Activism is a chore they have to do, so without people in charge sincere in what they do and aware of this type of obligation, any attempt at serious activism will end up half-baked and likely to do more harm than good.

It’s tough to find people who do something for the sake of it and not as a springboard meant to pursue other interests.

I believe someone complained recently that there is one.

In general, the country in question should have a government (approved) website giving some information on what one should be aware of if planning on living there for a while or permanently.

There is an EU related website (don’t remember which) where one can be provided legal counsel in regards to their right in EU specifically. You might want to search for it in the Europe oriented communities.

Don’t expect the magical land of Oz. Each country developed in a different way, but we’re all tinged by the darker elements common to the world at large.

Scalpers will try to take advantage of you. They love naive foreigners.

“Eeny, meeny, miny, mo. Which will kill me, I don’t know.”

Edit/continuation:

“Pick for me where I should go. To be happy with a hoe.”

You’re in luck! It can indeed! The only possible caveat might be that you won’t get to choose the enplacement…

Lol. Ford is known to break down often when needed most. Just get a Toyota instead.

Private contractor. Anyone cheaping out on their own security service isn’t likely to survive an actual threat. Depends on who you hire and how much you paying them.

Late night bootleg radio talk shows are where it’s at. Voicing out your thoughts into the ether, without a care on who’s listening or their opinion, simply being out there.

Hey, as long as i don’t have to answer back or even pay attention to it at all, you do you!

Well yes, but also no.

Two types that i know of:

• in-game live service bonus items rewarded for play time or achieving some kind of objectives.

• potential DLCs for a game that may or may not be made

Both can be scummy. The former can basically be a mobile pay to win scam that drains bank accounts, the latter can be a “we decided not to add any more content, so thanks for the money and goodbye sucker!” scam that overprices a game and underdelivers.

We talking a prick on the finger or full body exsanguination?

Your brain be wildin’. I suggest seeking professional help if it ever happens a second time in a short period of time. Small chance it might be an early symptom of a stroke or dementia.

I got caught by Neverwinter and Star Trek Online. Money-sucking leeches that they are, I still do the f2p grind…

I recommend staying away from f2p live service games. They’re evil.

Bureaucracy is a nightmare. There’s national laws, local laws, technical laws, practical laws, petty laws, incompetent laws, minority laws, old laws nobody bothered to get rid of, potential laws for possible situations that might happen at some point in an imaginary future… and so on.

Basically, it depends on who writes the law and why. All laws are subjective to humans, by humans and against anything that annoys the specific humans in charge at any given point in time.
