Fun Fact: the Reaganites literally decided to create student debt to stop poor people from having higher expectations from life

This fool doesn't lose his Gundam in the pond

Because we're doing the Second Civil War arc in a few, it'll be fun and/or destroy humanity itself!

Well, he also specifically says the Chaos Gods are dicks.

But he also says they aren't gods, and he isn't a god.

Yeah, the secret cabal running everything:

Philosophy majors

I mean, the Congresscritter is a fascist who supported DeSantis before bending the knee to Trump. As a former doctor and Marine, who had seen first hand the problems with the American medical system in general, the government response to Covid, the VA's treatment of his supposed fellow veterans, etc.

What, he's supposed to be mad at the accuracy?

Knowing Steam, that's not a sure thing

The new Legend mechanic is pretty hilarious with the Asatru horde. I'd conquered all of Catholicism by my second ruler because you can spam out the generic Defender of the Holy Site legend, spread it fast as fuck because of course they gave the Norse more bonuses, and basically buy a Kingdom Holy War CB every couple of years while also mass converting territory.

Then the second ruler died and I'm still on Confederate Partition so now there are five Norse Empires in control of Western Europe. I'd considered going full Blood Empire and trying to eradicate all dynasties but mine but I'm not sure that's even possible anymore.

The point is create a eugenics empire of giant geniuses who come out of the womb ready to tear a grown man's head off his shoulders.

And that other stuff.

You think they don't know? This is Photoshop, but the point would have been the meme.

Yep. That's what Verhoeven wanted.

Too bad for him the marketing team decided there needed to be some 5d Bug plan centuries in the making to... Kill one single city by sheer accident?

Funny, because I just actually watched the movie and knew the director's stated intent.

Guess you haven't been paying attention to what they're charging and how much it costs to make the miracle drug that could solve the obesity crisis.

You're the one that called it a Space Western.

Are there a lot of Westerns with the main character running around literally invincible to bullets? Or does the outlaw gunplay central to the genre require some element of danger to be interesting?

I don't know that I believe George Lucas actually thought the Republic wasn't the "good guy" at some level.

A story of that "good guy" finally falling to the worst form of corruption, sure, but what would the plot have become if Anakin resisted the Dark Side? Palpatine gets found out, the Jedi realize they've lost touch and start an anti-corruption crusade but keep defending the status quo?

Not once do the works ever, ever wonder how a galactic society with apparently unlimited energy and a robot slave labor force has biological poverty. It never questions whether The Republic is inherently damaged, ideologically, it just yearns for some time where a Sith wasn't running the show.

If they hadn't put him in a set of invincible armor that immediately dissolved all suspense I'd agree.

Using slave labor, among other things, even without getting into the droid stuff. The very idea of them gets introduced when the Trade Federation, a core Separatist power bloc, tries to conquer Naboo over a trade dispute.

Why the hell don't Star Wars fans understand Star Wars, it's not that deep.

That's still pretty good...

Well, I can't say I'm surprised to find someone going to bat for the movie Federation despite everything in the gaming sub.

Got any opinions on how Caesar's Legion is the only hope for New Vegas?

The bot revolution has begun, they're meming at us now
