terrain is nice, but it’s always the same. simplified colored borders however tell your campaign’s story in a simple glance. when you see your blob twice the size of that stupid ai you’ve had a beef for the past two hours it’s satisfying.
the map. the appeal is the map itself. definitely an aspect of number go up, but mostly that maps are beautiful.
stylistically it looks like the imperator rome map. if i were paradox i would want to avoid that association like a plague. regardless i doubt it’ll be good the way paradox is now.
by available i meant available. it’s on a per channel/group basis and not on individual messages but essentially you can’t join or view their messages even if you have their id and even if someone forwards it to you it displays a “this message is nor available on clients downloaded from google play” error message or something similar. if you joined a channel prior and it get blocked from your client you stay in but can’t view its messages.
telegram has different visibility based on which client you are using and your phone number’s region. I’ve seen it firsthand how some channels are not available on telegram downloaded from app store vs direct apk download. unless if you mean in spirit they’re basically the same which i agree but everyone that has used telegram at all knows that telegram values being accessible more than free speech and privacy.

i can relate to getting grossed out, especially with stellar blade which to me the main character’s face looks like a teenager.
if i remember correctly twitter was evaluated as 20 billion before musk bought it, so he overpaid by 24 billion dollars which is a couple billion dollars more than the price tag quoted here.
for context 22 billion is a few billions less than what elon musk overpaid for twitter. i don’t think a bigger collider will do anything but I’d like for humanity to have this rather than whatever the fuck the rich are doing now.
they meant thoughtful about shareholders’ profits of course, they only get paid to be thoughtful about that.
ck2 is free for the foreseeable future though.
it’s basically giving out a sample for free so you can hook them on DLC, so no thanks ill just shiver me timbers to satisfy my map painting needs.
but for real fuck paradox their entire financial strategy now is to release overpriced dlcs on the regular until map addicts decide that getting that damned subscription is better than spending hundreds of dollars on dlcs.
im alright with getting wired in the head, but getting wired in the ass just seems useless.
well it’s half mountainous half desert. Tehran’s north is on the mountainside and it gradually transitions to desert on the south side.
i don’t like competitive games in general and MOBAs seem to be consumed by it because the gameplay is often not engaging without the competitive aspect of it like ranking and experimenting with different metas. at least there’s a place for casual RTS but i don’t know anybody that plays MOBAs casually, even goofy side mods quickly become this whole ranked thing. casual RTS though is a blast i’ve had more fun rushing people with assassins in stronghold crusader than anything else.
MOBA. honestly i don’t know why everyone’s playing these. even if all the matches were not radioactive cesspools of toxicity i still don’t find its gameplay loop enjoyable or fun.
i just realised the case of the golden idol has a second dlc, so im gonna replay it as well as play the new dlc.
thanks. 32% of malicious traffic is still a lot. the 50% increase in bad traffic in gaming is interesting though.
well nice job ignoring literally everything else i said but alright. my rule of thumb for comparing my purchasing power vs an american is to multiply the product’s value by 15. so you tell me that you wouldn’t feel annoyed if you had to pay 375$/year (ignoring the increased data cap costs that comes with using a VPN of course) for a service that might get blocked at any moment? never mind the scammers that are absolutely littered everywhere.
and the regions that are not supported by PSN probably don’t have regional pricing in steam as well, so we also have to pay that fuck you fee if we want to buy our games legit, unless of course you are willing to risk a ban (which actually isn’t that unlikely) in order to region hop, or get a CD key that was most likely bought with stolen gift card money of scam victims. and steam recently has been cracking down on both region hopping and the price disparity seen between different regions.
yes it’s not the most earth shattering issue on the planet, but at least we get to complain about it online right?
i liked it, what’s there is solid… as long as you play as rome. just like eu4 the mana point system sucks but managing ideal pop composition and different cultures and religions adds a layer of depth that the culture system in eu4 really lacks. it was mostly the lack of flavour that’s the issue and i never got around to modding it. all in all it was a miss for its time and paradox learned nothing from it.
