Late Stage Imperium

They had been born into this dark millennium, and had known nothing but the hardship, suffering and despair of unending conflict. Yet still they struggled on.

To say Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders created no jobs is innaccurate

They created jobs for their clients and stooges to go out to police, interfere, and occasionally crush the productive

Anti-value job creation

The reason for scanning all phones and messages is simple

It does nothing to prevent or reduce the random savage attacks on law abiding citizens which they support

It does introduce huge opsec costs for anyone that wants to oppose their anarcho-tyrannical regime

@ArisakaAya Not weird at all

They don't believe capitalism is moral so they have no moral compunctions regarding rent seeking / exploitation / supporting a spoils system

[Late Stage Imperium @LateImperium]

The discretionary spending of Congress is 1.8T dollars per year.

Every year they spend 1.8x times the total value of assets Elon has acquired over his lifetime.

Divided equally each congressman has 3.8B to spend each year.

@revenant_MMXX In addition

It gives an advantage to the player running away since you cannot keep up and do damage.

At a high level it turns tracking and predicting map movement into a guessing game around multiple speeds

@unseen1_unseen This was happening long before Obama.

@ClickingSeason My unfounded suspicion is that these women are part of communities with older women looking out for their best interests that support and council on finding and locking down this sort of guy.

Criticizing character design in game / media

"This isn't my preference and here is why its moral / good words that everyone agree with me"

[Late Stage Imperium @LateImperium]

@sanson_ganbaru As other have said it reads as informal English which, to be honest, is closer to how Americans talk in the day to day.

[Late Stage Imperium @LateImperium]

The problem is the publication and sympathy posting.

A great many faults and failings are tolerated with the understanding that they be kept private.

Blasting them out onto social media is intrinsically linked to backlash

[Late Stage Imperium @LateImperium]

@fentanylbrownie FOV makes sense though most people aren't processing all the info they are given let along getting more.

Mouse sensitivity is irrelevant and it appears larger mouse area / more shoulder control / lower sensitivity is what top players have coalesced around

So the Boys turned into

"You see I drew myself as the Chad and you as the blubbering baby offering sexual favors"

[Late Stage Imperium @LateImperium]

@Slatzism If you look at them individually; a suspiciously large number are murdered near bus stations, public restrooms, or gas stations at odd hours into the morning.

@tr_hudson @CSandbatch "My fantasy novel casts the church as being oppressive and corrupt"

[Late Stage Imperium @LateImperium]

@revenant_MMXX @OtakuEspiritu I read through it to see if it was better.

Slightly but not really.

I feel like there are more interesting plots for "dystopic ceremonial duelist king reincarnates into fantasy world" then what we got

[Late Stage Imperium @LateImperium]

@UsingLyft Went to waffle house and was asked by a dude for some coffee money.

Like... dude you are smoking a cigarette. You made your choice on what to buy

[Late Stage Imperium @LateImperium]

Like if they can take a person who was involved in one of our most impressive achievements.

Who by all accounts was a decent person, loving husband and father, and much more integral to the success of the mission then the focus of the story

And dig up his corpse, lie about his character and conduct, all in the service of 5 min of hate

Just think what they would do to you and your legacy.

[Late Stage Imperium @LateImperium]

@unirespecter It was the character assassination that I found particularly evil.

They took a a real person, dug up their corpse, and made them dance a racist jig.

[Late Stage Imperium @LateImperium]

@AtomicCoyote61 @WardoftheStates I did the same thing

Like it is Star Wars 7.

It is gonna have a formula

But overall it felt like a B to B- with about 5-10 minutes of tweaks to fix the worst of the plot and characterization.

[Late Stage Imperium @LateImperium]

@revenant_MMXX Oh and a good modern example is Space Marine 2

[Late Stage Imperium @LateImperium]

@revenant_MMXX I recall a lot of pushback against ancillary PvP modes being added to single player games

but many ended up being better and more creative than the current crop of "always online pvp only" games.

Maybe the inverse could be true
