‘Empire‘ by achrilock | 2020

Also, well-wishes and good vibes to the people of Palestine suffering at the hands of Palestine’s US-backed breakaway province of Israel, whose fascist gang of militants, led by the man who calls himself ‘Yahu,’ have spread lawlessness and extrajudicial murders across the land. The UN resolution is welcome but will likely be ignored. Airstrikes on the breakaway region likely required. Civilians can move to the south, or, if they wish, relocate to Europe, or perhaps New York State.
Of course, I could just make fun of your legal problems. Or the fact that any army you create won’t have proper equipment, will have low morale, and will be promptly destroyed by drones or shelling as soon as they reach the front line. Any recruiting that is done will be paid with suffering and death, and that will, of course, have political consequences. You’re both the same person. Everyone I fight is the same person. Except the women. At least they were interesting. Miss y’all <3
What if I told you that IS built a time machine, and went back in time, and fucked both Trump’s and Putin’s mothers, in order to build their empire of sorrow and destruction? And that if either were wanted dead, it would have happened several years ago? And that the first lesson that noobs learn when they arrive in Hell is that everything happens for a reason, and that, often, being the reason isn’t as cool as the interwebs make it seem. Hell keeps excellent records, boys ^^
In every timeline.
Playing FF made me wanna play XCOM (which is FF with tactical positioning and a strategic layer). Started up XCOM2 last night and, you know how it goes, one of those ‘up at 2pm’ situations. Did about ten missions, only lost two operatives thus far. One was a specialist in a bad position who took a lucky mag round to the face. The other was an anarchist ranger last to the transport while trying to rescue Mox. About to hit the Blacksite. No mag weapons ‘cause no alloys. “That’s XCOM, baby!”
While listening to the aforementioned podcast, I spun up the old NES and played the original Final Fantasy. Enemies engaged included: Wolf, GrWolf, Imp, GrImp, Spider, Ogre, Zombie, Madpony, and a few pirates upon the party’s arrival in a town to the east which required our efforts for its liberation. The party in question, designated “Light Warriors,” consists of: Fighter, Thief, Black Mage, White Mage. Somewhat dubious of the thief’s utility. Perhaps levels will reveal a diamond in the rough.
*whispers* where’s their money, Donald?
