Whenever there's discourse about a game I tend to stress the fuck out because nobody understands how a game is made.

It's old news now, but the "AAA Companies fear Baldurs Gate 3" thing made me want to strangle someone

By the way folks, since we've got Andor on the brain, I wanted to point out something I realized watching this song:

Andor and One Piece complement each other so damn well. And this Pride Month needs fighters so...

Here's to fighting for tomorrow's sunrise ✊

We also need Luthen's and Leia Organa's who acknowledge that not every fight can be won, not every drop of blood spilled will have meaning, but that victory comes through a mix of pragmatism, endurance, and idealism.

Don't fall in the trap Gerrera eventually did of lashing out blindly.

Well, Ghorman's massacre did inspire: it showed that there was no peaceful way to reform the Empire.

But notice that the only things the Ghor had to do was peaceful protest, and then die.

It's worse than that: by the time Palpatine decided to build a Death Star, Ghorman was doomed.

They would need the kalkite eventually, and they would mobilize the entirety of the Imperial Military to seize it. Even the Clone Army couldn't have stopped them, the Imperial Military is too big.

I suppose, but the point is, the Ghorman Front was doomed from the start, because the only thing that could have saved the world is a full blown battle and a rebel military garrison to hold the line.

And even at their height, the Rebel Alliance didn't have that power.

Want a real life example? Chile, September 11th, 1973.

There was nothing Chile could have done to change that outcome, once the USA targeted us and the USSR abandoned us, history was sealed.

Unfortunately, Ghorman was doomed from the start. Andor's analysis, that "they started way too late and now they're rushing, don't get involved" is true.

Notice that the Rebel Alliance didn't send people, they knew there was nothing to be done.

Unfortunately, sometimes oppression just wins...

That wouldn't have helped Ghorman. There were TIE Fighters in the air, an armada in orbit, and plans underway for the planet even as the massacre happened. A more armed and aggressive protest would have killed more imperials, but would have been crushed anyway, and not changed anything.

Gotcha.

...

Ok so I was going to ask what demons in heaven do eat, and if angels visiting hell have culinary problems too, but to be honest? That's a question that's better explored in a comic

Wait, if Ambrosia is toxic to demons, can Powers eat that stuff?

Fuck man, that sucks... Hope you get support

At least now your minis are fortified against Nurgle's corruption (?)

That's not really communism or socialism is it? Honestly, if anything, it's a benevolent feudal society
May 22, 2025 at 8:08 PM
Which is why I didn't call the T'au communist. But if Stalin proves anything (and yeah yeah, not an actual Communist, I know) it's that Marxism can come with a lot of problematic stuff, they aren't mutually exclusive.

Just look at antisemitism, queerphobia, or patriarchy in XX cen Marxist movements
