Damnit this would’ve been my immediate response, too.

Well, this is actually the easy mode. On hard you see lettuce next to a politician’s face.

The Sim X: Terror from the derp. Yeah no Jake, we want a successor to X-COM Apocalypse if you don’t mind.

I do not believe asking questions should be labeled as a crisis.

Hmm, I’ve only played Stellaris from this company and that game is great. A bit pricey with all the DLC, but the alternative of releasing a new Stellaris every few years probably amounts to the same.
Also, I’d rather play a well fleshed out 8 year old game, than getting a bare boned husk with each iteration - which sadly tends to be the norm for 4x games.

Wake me up when the popover API is in. Might be next version, nice!

Tencent only got preference shares AFAIK (i.e. they can’t vote with them).

Never realized the Penguin of Doom got into coding :o

The game itself is great, the UI/UX is just on another level. The UI has no ambiguity, is very responsive to input and just feels smooth. The wording on the cards is also excellent and consistent.

StS is a joy to play and I bet it’s also really great on the Steam Deck.

Hey, at least we are fighting them this time! But sure, if system-wide changes are not coming, more people will fall into the hands of the fascists.

Is there some kind of conversion rate? Like each discovered tunnel justifies 1,000 more dead or something?

OT:
I can’t find the critique of this movie from a classicist viewpoint anymore. That was one interesting read.

How do you cope with all this without just giving up?

By making it personal.
No but seriously, in my country (Germoney) a terrible plan of the far-right fucknuggets got revealed and the people are taking it to the streets in response. During this week, I activated quite a number of co-workers to BE there this weekend. You can change people, you can change them with respect, words and your deeds. I’m a firm believer of “do good and talk about it”. The process is a bit grindy though, ngl ;)
