Still waiting to see how this is 9000d chess to ensure Trump is the nominee because he's so easy to beat...
Incorrect. There is 1000x more controls available now for the state to use against you. Back then no central banking, no buearacracy, no managerial caste. Way more levers to pull now to get their way. People have no self determination anymore they don't know how to disobey the state.
Yeah the minority coalitions won't go, and a dindu brigade will be a disaster, but you still have plenty of normies to cull from.

Did not stop the Civil War and the north still won.
Lots of naive people in this thread.
The public was over 90% against joining ww1 and ww2. We said all the same shit. Still happened.
All it takes is one attack on the US.
You keep repeating the argument that they won't do it because it's a bad idea, but I can pont to dozens things they did in the last few years that were bad ideas and they did it anyway. Claiming the Ukraine war was lost intentionally is insane, they honestly believed Russia would collapse in a couple of weeks. You probably did too.
The reason why we lose is because it never even occurs to us to pay someone to do shit like this, and when someone points it out we scream at them and call them racist for noticing.
They want to invade a bunch of countries and there's no way to do that without a draft. China is gearing up to take Taiwan, we're losing Ukraine, and we're being chased out of the red sea. All of this will invite even more adventurism accross the globe. It is normal for empires in their death throes to lash out militarily in all directions.
This presupposes the people in charge are rational and logical, which is incorrect. In fact given that a draft would certainly be disastrous means it's more likely to happen. Or did you not just watch the leadership collectively lose their minds over Ukraine?
There is 100% chance the draft will come back, unless the country collapses completely. History shows us this. They won't have a choice. What's more, your parents will completely support it, while forgetting that they were ever against it, and call you a coward if you avoid it.
The only reason the boomers turned on the draft was because it was being used to fight commies.
One funny thing about this game on release is the Japanese said the characters were too ugly.
Other than that it's solid, the game both romanticizes and deconstructs bushido in a way that's pretty fair. I don't think you'd get something similar from a western dev on any western history.
There's no crying in the Supreme court
luckily KotOR's story is already so dumb it can't get much worse other than making every character black and gay.
He got famous for being pro-male but that mostly went away once he married the negress, now he's a basic bitch liberal like everyone else.
Sooner or later, everyone has to sell their soul if they want to take the ticket.
the "history book" bit is dumb though since Jewish response to criticism of them ethnically cleansing Palestine was to say "ummm there was no Palestine!" A position so ahistorical and preposterous many fellow jews have repeatedly demolished it.
Not to mention the bizarre evangelical Christian support of Israel, despite Christians holding the holy land more recently (pre Balfour), the new testament replacing the old covenant with the jews, as well as ignoring 2000 years of church dogma that jews are Christ killers who need to repent and accept Jesus to be saved.
I hate these 'water is wet' studies. It's a sign of the complete bullshit world we live in, where you need multiple peer reviewed journals just to tell you water cures thirst.
Always the classic "it's not happening you're crazy" then "it's a GOOD thing"
It's basically raping art.
"It's 37D chess to make him the nominee so they can easily beat him!!!!!!!"
The lesbos will tranny their kids.
Monkeys paw granting the longtime wish for ninja asscreed. Well the series is dead at this point anyway so who cares.
What kind of degenerate plays games with a trainer? git gud.
Empyrion is not good. They added a scripted story questline but it's about as crummy as Starbound. The shooting is really bad and the vehicle combat sucks too. Everything is just resource attrition with zero skill. The skillpoint leveling system is also pointless as it's just a recipe unlocker (you will be stuck by mineral availability long after you unlock everything). The game struggles to put together a progression since you need to visit a dozen planets to build anything decent but once you do there's nothing left to see. You can build this mega star destroyer but there is absolutely nothing to do with it. Gear and items are also basic and lackluster, and resource gathering is a massive pain.
Overall I think it's a terrible game and waste of potential. I have more fun with 7 days to Die even though it's a basic zombie/builder it just has a far better gameplay loop to it.
Seems like if you made a deal with nvidia to cut them in on the sales of games per machine you could get a subsidized 'Steam Console' and then it really would be all over for Sony/Xbox.
Personally I played consoles for the Japanese games but since the dam broke on those coming to PC there's no much more reason for me to play one. However my family all prefers gaming consoles to PC.
just a cohencidence.
