Paradox hit a real sweet spot with the Clauswitz engine era, EU3-HOI3-Vic2-CK2-EU4.
All the games since then have done a much better job at on-boarding new players but they’re all lacking something for anyone who played those previous games. That’s not to say that HOI4 or Stellaris or CK3 or EU5 don’t have good features but I haven’t really gelled with any of them apart from perhaps Stellaris.
Here you go
Get told your slop is bad so you pull it down and post more slop?
It would take about 5 seconds to write “ho” in paint over a picture of Melania, but they’d rather get chatPPT to do it for them and it still does a worse job.
Yeah, usually
Don’t blame me, I voted for Kodos.
That’s not fair, comparing Gervais to someone with actual talent is just mean.
And he was only such a good writer because he was in the room with Stephen Merchant who is better than Gervais in basically every way.
Anything you can physically remove from the building is not a safe place to keep valuables.
They Shall Not suffer a Machine to Think! For Ruin Shall be its Purpose and Accursed be the Work.
1v16 is a non-starter because of the travel, like you could potentially have EDMvCAR going on at the same time as BUFvMTL.
Personally I don’t have an issue with divisional match-up. The first round of the NHL playoffs is the biggest spectacle in all of sports and having the gauntlet of the Central this year or whichever division is dominant in any particular year makes it even more exciting.
I can see the advantages of the 1v8 format but all it really does is move those pivotal matches to the second round instead of the first.
Incoming planning changes means you will be able to get a channel put through the pavement so you can install a road side charger outside your house. Obviously this doesn’t help people without assigned/adjacent parking, but helps a lot of people get over that hurdle.
It’s absolutely not a hit to the economy in any way. Money not spent at a festival doesn’t evaporate into thin air. People simply spend that money on other, similar things.
Plus the festival is organised by Live Nation Concerts, an American company, with tickets sold through Ticket Master, another American company (also owned by the same parent company Live Nation Inc) so the vast majority of the money spent at the festival wouldn’t end up in the UK economy in the first place.
Marvin Heemeyer, Doomsday prepper and all round narcissistic asshat built up a catalogue of people who supposedly wronged him, in particular the city Council who sued him after he refused to pay to tie into the existing sewer network and instead dumped his waste into a ditch at the edge of his property.
He then proceeded to customise a bulldozer and went into a rampage destroying buildings, ultimately becoming stuck and then he shot himself rather than be arrested.
Tough on Beeps, tough on the causes of Beeps!
That’s like saying pop tarts are more nutritious than heroin.
When I die I hope I go peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming in fear and agony like his passengers.
