That's the biggest sticking point for me, and it's so big I'm not sure how liberals are ignoring it: we're seeing what happens right now when you're a friend to the US empire. How anyone can still advocate for being a friend to the US empire - outside of a desire to benefit from imperialism - astounds me.

I agree entirely - especially a game like TF2, which continued limping along as a live service generating money from key purchases and the like. We really need greater protections on art preservation in general.

Honestly reminds me of Civ VI's Australia, themed exclusively after colonial Australia complete with mixing Aboriginal music conventions with, like, waltzing matilda. Like, really.

Thanks for the mod recommendation, making this post actually made me take a trip back to Civ IV and try the 'Caveman2Cosmos' mod, which is absolutely unhinged in how expansive it is. Civ V was my personal favorite so knowing there's a decent overhaul mod (especially one that adds vassal states back in) gives me another civ-related thing to look forward to.

 

That's all. Played Civ since IV and the boardgame-like nature of it meant that I've gotten a lot of friends and family into it as a means to experience video games in general.

Civ VII looks really bad, even if I haven't played it myself. Systems upon systems that aren't properly explained, that somehow feel both cluttered and less in-depth than previous entries. Three truncated games making up the segments of one larger game is lame, too. A bad solution to the problem of people burning out in the later eras.

Most of all, though, is the business model of it all. Civ already leaned into 4X DLC conventions which meant getting the whole package was an expensive endeavor, but at least, for example, Civ VI had just two major expansion packs. Civ VII is already drowning into microtransaction leader purchases.

And then there's, just, the price. It's obscene. Denuvo is devastating to see as it creates a lot of barriers to giving the thing a try. I don't get excited for games any more, but Civ VII would have been one of them.

Anyone try it themselves? Anyone in love? Anyone feel like me?

If I'm paying attention to something, it needs to be on a largish screen with me at attention on the couch. Otherwise, most content gets put on as background noise on my phone, tablet, whatever, while I do the dishes.

Kennedy said he planned to dedicate money generated from a sales tax on cannabis products to “creating wellness farms—drug rehabilitation farms, in rural areas all over this country.” He added, “I’m going to create these wellness farms where they can go to get off of illegal drugs, off of opiates, but also illegal drugs, other psychiatric drugs, if they want to, to get off of SSRIs, to get off of benzos, to get off of Adderall, and to spend time as much time as they need—three or four years if they need it—to learn to get reparented

Sounds like a replacement for the cheap agricultural labour immigrants presented.
