AoV made the (reddit) board. At various points he made DoM (a newly created account for an existing user) mod, along with a couple other users.

When TD moved off reddit they made domains for several other subs, HalfKiA and KiA2 among them. They gave these boards to the mods of their respective reddit subs. At various points (I believe after the reddit/win split) AoV stepped down, and the other mods all went inactive.

Though I’m technically Christian on my mom’s side [...]

That's not how Christianity works. Christianity isn't a race. I'll admit that there are regions of the world (primarily the middle east and Africa) where it's correlated with a specific ethnic group within a country/region, but Christ isn't passed through the bloodstream.

Because the first amendment doesn't apply if you're criticizing the jews (anymore.)

Old World is better than Civ VI, maybe civ V, but I don't think it has the modding community that made the classic civ games great.

I really like the RPG/narrative mechanics it borrows from CK in a Civ title, but I haven't seen people really stretch the game with mods like they did Civ.

the Civ community is also nauseatingly woke.

I think this is a generational thing. Fans of the older games (Civ IV back) seem to have a more even mix of political ideologies, whereas fans of the newer games definitely seem to be the 'modern audience', as it were.

I didn't care for most of the leader choices in Civ V (or many of the civ choices) because they very clearly had a DEI bent. It really seems that VII has just completely gone off the deep end.

Having Harriet Tubman be a Great Person of some variety makes sense. Having her be the leader of a civilization is retarded.

Based on what we know already about Civ VII I have literally negative interest, which likely wouldn't have been any different if I hadn't found my ~20 hours in CIv VI extremely lacking.

IMO, the series peaked with Civ IV, Civ V (with expansions) was a competent sequel that just went in a direction I didn't always like, and Civ VI isn't worth playing over either of those (or Civ III, BE, or even II.)

I'm one of the people that browses by 'New', so I doubt it.

Sure, you could argue that you risk getting a tyrant in autocratic systems. But is avoiding the risk of tyrants worth the risk of almost never getting a true leader that cares for their country?

To quote Mel Gibson's character from The Patriot "Why would I trade one tyrant 2000 miles away for 2000 tyrants one mile away?"

The game wasn't gay

The DLC kinda was.

I believe that's the typical 'end' message on a Ouija board.

"voters are unsophisticated"

Then why do we let them decide who's in charge of the country?

A boycott won't do a lot for my health or their bottom line. I don't drink a lot of whisky (averaged out over a year, I probably have about an ounce or two a week). What it will do is make me drink more scotch (not one of their brands) and less bourbon. At least until I find another bourbon I like in that price range.

They did/tried to for 'pistols' they reclassified as 'SBR's, but that's one of those things that they get away with purely because no-one challenges them on it, I think.

You make porn comics, don't you?

Ain't being a prude, you just have a certain... style.

The classics (Doom 1 and 2) are abandonware and there's modernized engines that run them much better on modern hardware, so I wouldn't pay for those.

I think the one reason I don't play more Factorio is that you (at least at the start) have to control a single unit to do all your construction, and that really slows a lot of the gameplay down in a way I don't find fun. I wish I could figure out how to get myself (mentally) past this because otherwise I really like the game. There any mods or tricks you know of that would help?

Perhaps, you might say, poisoning the well of discussion?

Muslims are raping 'my' daughters about as much as Jews are pimping them out on the internet and convincing them that it's 'empowering'.
