    Stop voting immediately. Your inability to find porn on the internet that isn’t being “banned” by the most sophomoronic means, betrays you as a person that shouldn’t have any influence in a decent society at all. Next as the children say, go touch grass. Go talk to people in real life, do not bring up any living politician. You are too underdeveloped mentally to handle having an opinion about such things. But perhaps after a few years of effort cultivating purely organic relationships and learning how to find “exotic” things such as unblocked porn on the internet, you may be ready to rejoin democracy after clearing the low-bar of “not being hopelessly removed.”

    Until then please spend every waking hour improving yourself, and never critiquing anyone else, your opinions are actively detrimental to everyone.




  • A better idea would be to arrest every state legislature who passed constitutional violating laws about guns and throw them in jail, much like should have been done for the violation of the civil-rights act. If there are no consequences for states passing unconstitutional laws, then what is the purpose of the constitution in the first place?








  • While you are correct that by the end of the game each civ looks the same, and at the beginning of game the initial starting strategy is basically the same, a lot of the civ customization is the flavor. England for example has a distinct art style, they have english music, their flag, and even their unit art. In Civ4 they reach their peak power at an era appropriate time, (red coats and banks) whereas Rome get’s their legions at the beginning of the Iron Age.


  • I played Humankind on release and yea it was a mess, but it worked somewhat because it was doing something intentionally different from the Civ formula and the expectations were that it wasn’t Civ. As someone who loves Civ4 as the pinnacle of the series, I greatly appreciated Humankinds attempt, even though the game isn’t all that great. I still have ~100hrs in it though.

    Civ7 was the last straw for me. Firaxis do not have any talent left and they are coasting on the brand. The entire idea of changing civs throughout the game is anathema to the entire concept of a Civ game. They’ve lost the plot. Forget any of the other mechanics they’ve implemented or moving away from board game mechanics, if they can’t capture the extremely rough alt-history appeal of the franchise, they’ve lost anything that makes Civ interesting. They aren’t making a civ game anymore.


  • I mean some rigidity is perfectly fine, especially in a game like Civ where the whole purpose is that you get to play as Rome and conquer the modern world. But in order to “play as Rome” you need to the game mechanics to limit you as the Roman civilization to make sure that you are distinct, at least initially, from say China, or France, or the Aztec or whatever. A fully “custom civ” would be extremely out of place in a Civ game, not to mention would certainly be imbalanced.
