@OwlcatGames I was about to joke that Baldurs Gate 2 is my RPG of the year, every year. But then I remembered that the Worldwound is open and Iomedae has commanded her Paladins to purge the demon menace, yet again Pathfinder: WOTR is my Game of the Year.

@fakehistoryhunt @Mr_wolf816 I’m a simple person. I see a generic “historical” post, and instinctively check if the Fake History Hunter hit it.

@SandyofCthulhu I have a theory of how it’ll end.

[Alfredo Pascal @aepascalp]

@SandyofCthulhu Good sequels build up upon the ending of the first, they don’t destroy what the first one did well - Empire strikes back was good because it enhanced a good ending, so did Aliens. Bad sequels ignore the previous ending for the sake of money. E.g: every terminator movie after T2

@SandyofCthulhu MicroProse…Now, that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time. A long time. A time when you knew companies because of its founders, and just by seeing a name, you knew the game was good.

En una época en la que muchos insisten en rendir culto al mito, conviene volver a los hechos. Francisco de Paula Santander no fue solo un militar brillante, fue el arquitecto civil de la república. Mientras Bolívar soñaba con coronas vitalicias y centralismos autoritarios, Santander construía instituciones, escribía leyes, formaba jueces y defendía la separación de poderes.

Santander no necesitó una espada para gobernar: le bastó la Constitución. Fue él quien consolidó el Estado de Derecho, quien impulsó la educación pública como fundamento de la ciudadanía, y quien entendió que sin legalidad no hay libertad verdadera.

Bolívar murió en el exilio, rechazado por Colombia. Santander, en cambio, regresó por el voto, no por la fuerza. Gobernó sin pretender divinizarse. Y cuando se retiró, no dejó himnos ni bustos: dejó escuelas, códigos y un país que empezaba a creer en las leyes, no en los caudillos.

Ese es nuestro verdadero libertador: el que nos enseñó que libertad sin ley es solo otra forma de tiranía.

@ChrisAvellone Hawaii. Think about it, during the ‘50 and ‘60 was promoted as Paradise. The intro music is Presley’s “Hawaian Wedding Song” and the camera moves from a hotel to a radiated site formerly known as Pearl Harbor with our hero carrying a Vault Boy with a hula skirt in his hand.

@RigorMortis1976 @SandyofCthulhu No, it was germs, and a ton of native allies securing supply lines, providing warriors and trade.

[Alfredo Pascal @aepascalp]

@OwlcatGames You know, certain games define an epoch for particular genres. WOTR shaped what a CPRG should look like, and will be for a long time the benchmark upon which others will be compared.

@jesse_history I always wondered how my grandparents felt when the germs of totalitarism were planted in the 1920’s, seems like I’m in the same place, and a storm is coming.

@DanielSamperO Que cuando el Presidenre haga una pregunta, <música de Quién quiere ser millonario> y le permitan al interrogado tener ayuda del público o que llame a la mamá.

@LandsknechtPike A man of taste. #wololo

[Alfredo Pascal @aepascalp]

@LandsknechtPike The Spanish Tercios made their initial claim to fame by crushing French Gendarmes. And, a bit ironic, they France and Spain were also allies several times.

[Alfredo Pascal @aepascalp]

@LandsknechtPike Wait, the date is 1430, this prior to the Ottoman Conquest, were the Bizantines engaged in selling fellow Christians as slaves?, and also, another example of “low prices” was after the 1291 fall of Acre.

@jesse_history So easy to disprove, once you realize that all strongpoints can be arranged in alphabetical order. But there is worse, I’ve seen in books calling the airborne operation “Beaver”, as opposed to Castor.

[Alfredo Pascal @aepascalp]

@jesse_history Highly aspirational, but sadly the reality is that having an Empire was no longer profitable and was holding back Britain. It was the forces of market, rather than purely debt what ended the imperial system.
