See everyone always complains about Imp. But he's never annoyed me in the slightest. I think he's hilarious and would unban him in a second.

Lethn was sand in my underpants. I'm not GLAD he's gone but I'm not sad like I am with Imp

You have to be genuinely autistic right?

Nobody believes you're actually Lethn in disguise.

I mean we're aware you're a faggot.

But by definition he isnt a user.

I was initially interested from a "a support your own" perspective.

But he was such a tool all the time I don't think he was all that different from the "classic" developers that I hate.

Like a theater kid or something.

It's sort of a "gradually I began to hate him" type thing.

Any conversation with him was utterly grating. Probably most annoying was his habit of arguing superiority from agreement.

You'd say something and he'd somehow manage to agree and call you stupid for thinking it at the same time.

No. It sounds like he and you don't understand the difference between a game that was in development for 20 years and released like shit. And a game that's been out for 20 years with ongoing development.

One that springs to mind eas discussing Deadlock.

He was expressing the fairly normal "trade embargo means bad" and when I explained yeah that's normally true, it's Valve, which has good history and Icefrog himself whose showed design chops on Dota 2 for the better part of 20 years. Building it in Wc3 and continuing at valve, while keeping his independence by remaining anonymous and living in asia. He'd be about as hard a person to pervert as exists.

He responded by saying "a long development time doesn't mean it'll be good, look at Duke Nukem"

He just completely misses the point in just about every interaction while being 150% sure that if there's even the tiniest bit of confusion that people talking to him are ciphers who just don't grasp his genius.

I think it was more assumptions. The cop structure hadn't been tested on a macro level, and the usual argument was "black trash vs cop" and the left taking the trash's side.

We're there dirty cops? Yeah. And for my part I've always been anti-institution period, so I hated them on principle.

But looking at something like Mike Brown?

Apparatus working as intended as much as it could. The trash was taken out and yeah I'll stand by that cops actions no hesitation.

As an institution though? Fuck em. And then they were during covid and they failed. So fuck em double.

Prior too I can forgive you for believing in them as a right wing institution like the military. Now it's clear neither one is, so there's no excuse.

Well see there's two major racial groups in the world. They're at odds with each other naturally but have been manipulated into living together.

A third group, a subset of one first two begins applyfying the tensions between the major groups in order to upset the existing power structure.

They introduce drugs into certain communities, and stoke prejudice against the racial group that currently holds power. And while they pretend to be innocent and weak, they actually occupy a number of highly influential positions in the government. All with the goal of gaining power themselves, revenging themselves on the current dominant racial group, and if all else fails burning it all to the ground.

Then they made that group represented by sheep and rams. Like cmon.

Don't knock bugs life. The accidental subversiveness of that movie is superb.

It's only topped by Zootopia

Pretty sure he bought an ice cream truck and did that for a while.

AoE1 to AoE2 to AoE3 is the canary in the coal mine for sequels originally being adding new features and options as they now have more time, money, technology and a system to build off of and refine rather than starting from scratch. To becoming completely overhauls with increased spectacle but FEWER features.

Aoe1: 12 Factions

Aoe2: released with 13, had 18 with the expandion, now has 45 with the additional modern ones.

Aoe3: released with 8, 14 with both expansions, has 22 with all the modern ones.

Aoe1: 50 max population, building houses and town centers to reach it.

Aoe2: 200 max population, build houses town centers and castles

Aoe3: Less than 200, 200 is listed as the cap but lots of units count as more than 1. Additionally, Naval units have individual caps on each type.

As another example, prior to 3 you had to train villagers and then set up a gather point for them to deposit resources, mining camps, lumber camps, or mills, this requires you to contiuely construct economkc buildings and protect them as you exaust the ones close to spawn. In 3 your villagers magically teleport resources directly to your base.

I enjoy III. But it's the first example I remember as a kid playing and thinking "this... isn't actually better" when getting a much awaited sequel.

Well maybe... and hear me out... maybe just... like.. maybe...

Maybe half of our population... maybe... just like...

Never actually needed careers in the first place.
