Increased customer data collection, an ai “assistant” that might require registry editing to remove (I already did this once to kill Cortana for good), and it will require me to reformat my os drive. If I have to reformat and do a fresh install I might as well change OS and be free of their fucking ads as well.

Yup, I’ll be moving over rather than go to win11, ads on my lock screen and search bar nearly made me jump from win10 and there is no way in hell I going to even try to deal with clippy3.0/cortana2.0

I like it a lot, but they need a lot more “offramp” victory ages, also a way to destroy cities (aside from archangels).

They also need an actual multiplayer, I would buy another 5 copies for my friends if they get it working

I like it, but the changes they made to the office building makes modern era too easy

Anything in particular you struggle with or is it just everything at once?

Played Millenia & Tropico 6, (waiting for next update to drop in helldivers 2)

Grand Strategy is by far my favourite genre, followed closely by 4X, and then shooters

I am excited for Manor Lords next week, but after Millenia I am trying to temper my expectations

I meant 2, that being said I do think 1 is the better game right now

@Makan Recently played through the Mass Effect series for the first time and I feel very conflicted about it. I rate 7/10 overall and 3>1>2 for the series.

Currently playing a mix of dwarf fortress and helldiver’s, waiting for Millennia in 2 weeks

You don’t get to trash one ideology by subsequently ignoring the faults of another.

I agree, so why are you ignoring the faults of capitalism? We have seen time and time again if those who capitalism abandons do anything to better their station they get violently put down.

Well you used USA 7 times in that 13 item list, of the remaining 6, 3 are in the middle east, so it’s almost as if you didn’t start…

Not sure why you’re discounting the USA from this list when it is the most power capitalist country and explicitly maintains global reach and is very willing to use it, but if you insist…

• El Salvador
• France
• The UK
• The UK
• India (the UK)
• India
• Portugal
• Five Eyes
• Spain & USA
• South Africa
• Bolivia (the 2019-totally-not-a-coup government)
• Canada
• the UK
• Argentina
• Germany
• King Leopold II/Belgium
• The Netherlands
• Indonesia (ongoing)

Great criticism bro surely capitalist countries always respect human rights, say in

• Timor Leste
• Yemen
• Libya
• USA
• USA
• USA
• Cuba (USA)
• Romania (USA)
• Isreal
• Greece
• Iraq (USA)
• Iraq (USA)
• Iraq

Do you want me to keep going?

Thanks for the offer, but you’re not my type

Oh no you’ve done gone an vanquished communism, whatever will we do now!?

From what I’ve seen of the checkpoint system it probably won’t be that bad difficulty wise, they also removed several of the ways you could lose in previous titles

The reason for that is many of us feel the primary roadblock to socialism is American Hegemony so states which actively resist America receive critical support. Other common examples are Al-Assad’s Syria and Ghadaffi’s Libya.

Due to the tendency of the circlejerk the critical part tends to be silent, also as no other state has the same global influence as America, their flaws frankly matter less.

I think you’re missing the Dem Soc perspective; arguing that AES isn’t “true” Socialism/Communism let’s them ignore the imperfections of reality in favor of the ideals/positives which is an easier sell to an electorate. Its also a lot easier for political hopefuls to go along with the red scare rather than fight it.

Whats your favorite build in AoE4?

Also excited for AC6, itl be the first one I’ve played since 2

Point 2 I feel is more of an issue with writing in general and specific tv shows; the fewer speaking roles the cheaper you can make the show therefore in a capitalist system shows are incentives to reduce problem solvers to the minimum number.

3. I feel is a product of the time unfortunately, while racism was a theme Gene (and American society as a whole) felt could be addressed I think our society is only just now capable of broaching to topic of the male gaze

1 & 4 though are very solid points, I’ll have to give TOS and TNG a rewatch and think about it.

Judging by Goat’s video “The Wiggle Which Ruined Tarkov”, people just don’t recognize/remember the western players

The Guardian (not leftist, buuuut…)

Some More News (weekly single issue YouTube vid)

Even more news (podcast variant of previous, has SMN episodes, and occaisonal extra stories)

Liberation News

Edot: formatting, forgot TN Holler (mid south regional paper, focused on TN, occasionally talks bout the surrounding states)

If you haven’t yet id check to see of there is a local PSL chapter
