  • It might see a massive increase in nuclear warhead production and pointless vehicle production, but the US military will continue to decline. There aren’t enough truly dedicated Trump supporters to refill what’s been lost over the last 8 years, and we have a new set of veterans from Afghanistan to preach the pointlessness of war and the fact the US government will not provide you practically any support once you’re used up to stall or eliminate new recruits.

    The fact Trump’s destroying the VA and has already indefinitely paused GI bill payouts just adds to that fire, where not even shitty but ‘safe’ benefits are not guaranteed.

    No matter how far down the LLM rabbit hole the government goes you can’t sustain a war without a massive amount of soldiers. The US doesn’t have that anymore.

    Homer Simpson got on disability for being 300lbs, and he had to work comically hard to gain the 70 pounds to hit that mark.

    …so that insatiable, ridiculous weight he was already at was only 230 freedoms. Easily half the adult population is near or above that. Hell that’s not even particularly overweight if you’re tall and somewhat in shape.



  • It’s hardly a genocide to try, jail, and rehabilitate Nazis. Over half the Israeli population supports Nazi actions. If we fold the Palestinian population into that population of Nazis, their lives won’t get better. We’d have to spend centuries as a global community commiting third party police and military to protect Palestinian Israelis from all others, while still calling them by their colonizers name.

    Instead, we return the state of Palestine. We deport the Nazis. We let the state of Palestine set the terms of their return and settlement, should that be something they have in their hearts to do.

    I’m sorry to say but the Holocaust wasn’t shit at this point. Palestinians have had it worse at the hands of Zionists. Asking the victims to forever bare the names of their victimizers is crazy.

    Imagine telling the Jews to just get back to Nazi Germany with vague assurances they’ll be real citizens this time but keeping the name Nazi Germany.







  • If you want to play 6,7 & 8 play the might and magic merged mod and just roll with the slight scuff. It’s worth not having the original experience for the most part. The two xeen games also serve as a stand in for all games before them and you can pretty much skip the early ones.

    Do not play 9. Even as a curiosity. It was the death of the studio, was half finished, and will just be one of the most frustrating games you will play if you even slightly try to play as intended. I still feel the disappointment of booting it up, having just finished a playthrough of 8 in preparation, and getting an hour in and realizing that maybe crusaders of might and magic was a sign that the magic of the studio was gone forever.

    10 is okay if you manage to like world of xeen, but you’ll hate it if you like the 6, 7, 8 trilogy.
