Curious how warlord country colours are now eerily similar to the Keiserreich colour scheme 🤔🤔🤔

I'm sure it must be a koinky-dink

Yea, if you read into the parallels between Jon Snow and Fitz Chivalry you can pretty much figure out how JS got out of the "conundrum" in the last book. Because his fate is pretty much identical to what happens to Fitz at some point in the Farseer Trilogy

If anyone is curious about the plot: think Game of Thrones if written by a woman but almost solely focused on Jon Snow, Vargs and a bit of the Baratheon story line

Oh I have a treat. Robin Hobb's Farseer Trilogy. Actually shook my egg quite a bit when I first read it. It has a male POV character; while the writing style of sex scenes gives WLW (author is a woman).

I was only able to pinpoint years later that what I felt while reading it was gender envy

@saltsome.bsky.social ;3

Haiiiiiii, babygirl :3

For cis ppl saying "ma'am" or "sir" is "good manners". and not being able to choose an appropriate pronoun feels like failure to behave politely. I realised it when I got into a tiny quarrel and the person got extremely irritated when they couldn't tell which pronouns to use to talk back at me

Of course that's not the only reason they get defensive. Sometimes it's pure bigotry. But queer ppl (me included) fail to realise, gender is extremely important to cis ppl. Pronouns are actually ridiculously important to them, but in a different way than for trans & non-binary people

That being said, the saving grace on part of the Devs was not making this a balance of power mechanic and each faction can gain bonuses/maluses more or less independently

For example, if my dockyards produce things at an increased cost and my mils at a decreased cost: I'll just build a few more dockyards to offset the "price structure".

I really like the changes. With some small exceptions. In the future you could think about representing armed forces imbalances by soft caps to the amount of mils/docks the player can put on certain productions. Because the % maluses/bomuses are too easy to compensate against each other.

Is that grasshopper a motherflippin Man In The High Castle reference?

Crash Bandicoot :3
CB2 is one of the first video games I ever played

Real.
I was extremely eager when I started reading the first books and then I completely lost it at God Emperor

A Polish-American friend of mine from NYC came to study medicine here in Poland, and even with all the logistics and housing it cost a tiny fraction it would have cost her to study medicine anywhere in the US.

She's now a successful US-based researcher.
