Doesn't even look like ECMO or a ventilator set up. Man is on high flow/bipap oxygen at most in that image.

Guys just got a baldurs gate style guardian and the nurses aren't having another spirit haunting the floor.

When I was a unit clerk for an ICU unit, I was taught an "optional" part of the job which was basically me billing patients for "missed" (doctor forgot to bill for, intentionally) services and procedures.

Suffice to say I intentionally didn't do that part of my job. Glad I'm off to x-ray where we've got 2 steps of detachment from that crap.

Soo, anywhere with the exception of our urban hellscapes?

A Critical success, just shy of an overwhelming critical success.

You made your point dating to the shang, and I dont disagree. Even more, you're right, feudal empires falling isn't a gotcha.

So what about a modern state being violently overthrown? Or is this different because one violent, illegiment warlord championed "the people", and proceeded to starve 200* million of them after taking power?

Which one of these two states still maintains democratic or republican ideals for the people, a reminder that real Legitimacy lay with the people.

Sorry. Just a measley 50 million people mb. Still the worst famine in history. And 100% preventable.

Ahhh, Chinese history. Breaking every 400-500 years into total chaos, and someone new fixes it so the cycle repeated.

Well, not quite. It's more akin to if the union was pushed back and was limited to new-england.

The PRC is the confederate equivalent, as they weren't the original legal government unlike Taiwan, which legally is the heir of the ROC.

Also one of these states is an authoritarian piece of shit, and it's definitely not Taiwan.

Hardly. That's like me telling you that you should care about the politics of Britain or Australia.

Sure it might be mildly interesting to spectate, but its not like you should care much.

FTL: Faster than Light, and Into the Breach.

Both are fantastic and made by subset games. FTL the better of the two imo, but that's personal preference.

CDDA, Dwarf Fortress, and FTL all had a huge impact on the genera of Rougelike or free-form games, and all 3 have slight variations in the degrees of free-form game play which is very welcome.

Most rougelikes I enjoy have a set ending, that being death, or rarely triumph, and playing after either isn't possible or just not the point for me.

As for the most memorable moment? To set the stage, I was 13, playing FTL blind. I had made a few runs before it, but I had just reached sector 8, the federation base and the last stand for the federation against the rebels.

I had fought the flagship once before, so I knew it was a big-fuckoff flagship with multiple weapon systems, but I had died really quick.

I had my faithful burst lasers, Artemis missiles, and beam, and was charged and ready to take this ship down. And it was a slog of a fight, I lost a lot of ship HP, and was in the red from the flagship missile launcher.

But it died, as my final shot landed, I rejoiced as its left wing broke apart, until I realized the noise and flash of FTL. It escaped. It had multiple stages.

I resolved to chase it down and desteoy the ship once and for all, victory or death! I died to the supercharged drones in about 2 mins flat.

It was then I learned, you don't win FTL, you just do a little better every run. It still kills me on the harder starts with Captains Edition on.

When he was alive, TotalBiscut made an excellent video on it which does it far more justice than I can in text here.
