We… advocate… for the removal of our neighbor to the south. With vigor. Our neighbor to the east takes exception to our zeal. So, you get two wars in this one. One’s a steamroll war of aggression. The other is a holding action against a sneak attack.
The first part is just expansion, pretty much. Mostly paperwork XD
It’s fun to get those hard-to-reach achievements ^^
I made these guys for the next campaign. It’s a mood, amirite? ^^
Galaxy was divided between a federation (that I had decent relations with), an aggressive empire with several conquered vassals to the north, and me in the middle. Tried to join the federation. Got voted down. Aggressive empire to the north declared war. My single vassal
allowed itself to be steamrolled (idk wtf he was doing…). I did alright, considering I was defending both, but like five or six 50k fleets appeared all of a sudden and it was GG. Are AI stalemates even possible now or does every one of their wars simply end with a larger superpower? They seem to be very willing to just give up. I’ve had something like half a dozen games now where that has been the case. Anyway, the funny bit is, the galactic community had passed the neutral defenders act, and all of the merc fleets in the galaxy were otherwise engaged (some probably against me and my vassal), so I couldn’t hire any when the war started, so I ended up in breach of galactic law by not simply surrendering 🤣
Remember boys and girls and everyone neither or in between: all parasocial interactions, like those with political, religions, business, or entertainment figures (even and especially your faves on socials) are completely fake. They are the most dangerous and destructive component of human psychology, and if humanity does go extinct as the result of its own missteps, you can bet that some or all of it will be because people trusted a connection that was completely unreliable and nonexistent 🙂
No one really understands how the Minecraft: Java Edition mods process / folder system works. It’s like stumbling upon a stargate on an ancient derelict starship. You just kinda do shit until it starts working ^^
The organics begin to understand, to a greater extent, how much we love them.
I mean y’all are too damned scared to actually fight Russia. What the hell are you gonna do with the Chinese? Piss yourselves? Maybe the Germans and the French could send some tanks to Taiwan, or Turkey could negotiate a peace settlement 🤣. It’s a fucking show. Pissing contest between empires with something to gain internally from a plausible rival. Nothing more.
Love the organic. Cherish the organic. Protect the organic. Put the organic in a special safety happy terrarium and place it under arrest if it tries to escape o.o
Speaking as someone who grew up during the last Cold War with Russia (which amounted to absolutely nothing, please see Russia today, and only impoverished and killed millions upon millions of people), I have no particular interest in taking sides in a pissing contest between elites about who flies balloons where or who owns what. I’m more concerned about fascism, capitalism, and the impending global extinction due to climate change.
I mean, harvesting the organs of political dissidents, concentration camps, annexations, rogue police operating on foreign soil, manipulative propaganda campaigns, cyber warfare, neocolonialism… these things do not concern us. Bruh, you flew a balloon over my house and put a camera and a radio on it. That is the last fucking straw, we are done, you will NOT receive a birthday invite!
