Playing EU4, doing better as Russia. Probably picking Quantity ideas was a bit over kill but expanding west worked out ok once I raced to the Crimea. Shattered Lithuania and erased Poland so far and have the Crimea. Last war with Ottomans was sort of pointless but was pleased to see I kept them on the backfoot.

Come on, that's unfair to Volo.

Volo transcends geopolitical regions.

I am beginning to hate SaaS as I've been reduced to a cron job. Worst of all is people who have no authority bossing me around. Next person who says "That'll be great, thanks!", is going to get punched by me once I find airfare.

I'd have said Larry Bird. Although I'd be older, I'd have a bit more money.

If just for the hardmode piano.

Just as long as you don't want to kill everyone. Well, or if you do...just don't mention it at work. Just saying.

Is fundamental flaw in people, wouldn't say the West has special people, or it was due to the Internet. West just has more weapons with which to cause trouble when they think that way though

That's not a hot take. That's just wrong.

Well...ok yeah that is a big factor in why I don't mind them, it's a nice area of watch the world burn so to speak as no one's dying. I've played games where they really push it but I've not felt like I've missed out on stuff by ignoring it (Division 1 and 2 and GR WIldlands were like this). People go for them that's why they are made, like the whole Early Access nonsense somehow being accepted.

Ah, here's mine. Microtransactions are good.

Well, there sort of is. There's the upper level of planning out what you're going to do and then executing it as you fight - the micromanaging of units, although this varies on how much the game puts in - SupCom for example is just throwing units at each other gloriously, for example.

Just as long as they don't ask you why you're not helping that turtle on its back.

In my place I suspect a lot are doing the same. Well probably to drink Corona. Am a groomsman for my friend's wedding, means I get to spend hours in a tuxdeo, joy. At least I can avoid the requirement of needing to dance, I just need to get a Gucci and Louis scarf to swing in the air.

Well, could be worse, they could have gone with "Jesus" as a suggested approach.

Is our children learning, indeed.

Must be weird for people to remember Iowa exists for this long.

Reminds me of the time our management sent out an email praising the fact our customers hate us less. Well ok, that was last week.

Congratulations, the wheel does turn.

Napoleon saying "This is beginning to be very serious" at that stage of the retreat is understatement.

I love that it was made by Shadow Inc. who has ties to ACRONYM.
