This feels like the medieval version of show thoughts. I love the playfulness in writing a poem complaining about how the sun darkens skin but doesn't darken beards and how you should be able to sue for that
Playing the Ottomans in EU5 and the core gameplay loop is really fun. There's alot of things to juggle and alot of them work slowly - values drift over time, stability and estate satisfaction and so on take time to tick towards equilibrium, so its hard to evaluate how well one thing works.

before you set out on a path of revenge, dig two graves: one for your enemy, and one for their child, so that you snuff out their entire bloodline. if they have more than 1 child, you’re gonna need to dig even more graves.

range depends on whether its a tactical sandwich or an assault sandwich
It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

Some of my problems I have with CK3 are design decisions I disagree with, but a problem I have that seems like a real flaw in the game is that the game doesn't really do enough to create a cast of familiar characters to surround the player. You have friends and rivals but think about them so rarely

It’s a hell of a grift the Mattys Yglesias and Ezras Klein of the world have; your Davids French, your Conors Friedersdorf. So conveniently confused about the most obvious things yet so certain about the most laughable nonsense. Always interested in seeking answers, yet so allergic to finding any.

Yknow what's funny about The Incredibles is that after the superheroes got banned, the world was like, fine. There wasn't rampant crime in the streets or villains taking over the world. Bob had a wife and three kids and a beautiful house and a steady job. The biggest problem was that he was bored.

Your attention is one of the most valuable commodities in the world and using it for your own purposes is one of the greatest acts of self-enrichment you can do. I get its easier to listen to an essayist for 30 min than actively engage with a book, but I try to spend more time with overall w/ books
please watch movies and read books and play games and look at art, please view it with your own eyes through a lens you made yourself and not just through video essayists and ending explained videos please im begging you

I find this sort of response interesting, because usually when people say "I avoided 90% of the mechanics of the game I was playing" they mean that as a criticism
