“Let It Be Recorded In 2E 565 That All The Trolls Fucked”

👎😞❌️🕷 become a better person

idk what this is in reference to but no thanks I’m good

Need a butch to cling onto while watching horror movies

tumblr is a really special kind of place where you can find people complaining about how ‘The West’ is transphobic and reactionary and evil and then praising Russia and North Korea in the same sentence

why don’t you like transfem people?

???

I’m transfem? where did I ever give the indication that I don’t like us?

America has always wanted to be Rome. Now they’re finally succeeding, though perhaps not in the way the founders wanted…

Why am I able to find so many parallels between the modern USA and the fall of the Roman Republic 😭😭😭

your first mistake was not buying the dlcs. yes, I know they are like 500$, but the game is so vastly improved by them that not buying them is basically shooting yourself in the foot. I don’t know off the top of my head which ones add the MOST necessary mechanics, but I can say with certainty that the most recent ones are mostly flavour and niche mechanics, so you don’t need them. if you have a really limited budget then I would hazard that Art of War and Conquest of Paradise are probably the first few you want to pick up.

as for how I stuck with the game long enough to learn it… I honestly don’t even know. probably a mix of nationalism for the nation I was playing and undiagnosed autism. I learned the game on no dlcs and it was BAD but I had the primal need for my daily mappies so I stuck it out. but uh if you don’t have that then idk what to tell you.

Few games seem so hostile to my human brain as Europa Universalis 4. I picked it up for 4 dollars (w/o DLC) on GOG because the idea of a historical sim sounded cool, and I'm trying to rectify some of my historical illiteracy, but god damn if that UI isn't just information overload. I get that everything is there for a reason (you probably need all of it to successfully run an empire), and I don't want to give up on it just yet, but even the beginner tutorial videos I've watched are like 30 minutes long and barely cover 1/100th of everything on screen. I just wanna ask those who play; how were you successfully onboarded without immediately bouncing off?

love when tumblr leftists are so desperate to lick autocrat’s boots that they just. outright lie. saw someone today claiming that homosexuality was never illegal in either the USSR or the DDR (that statement is demonstrably false, if you didn’t know)

it makes my job as an evil liberal painting socialists as insane freedom-hating authoritarians so simple. getting my CIA paycheck will be easy this month :)

MUTILATE UNTIL IT’S YOURS

I actually despise poetry like this because it relies purely on its gimmick rather than any actual technical skill. because if you actually write it out in paragraphs it’s only a middling poem. it doesn’t really say anything interesting or advance the genre. the language is not very interesting. the sentences are mostly prosaic. there’s no musicality. in short it has very little actual artistic quality.

A poem should stand on its own as just the words on the page - not be defined by the goofy way you arrange them. I could, if I wanted, rearrange Thomas’ masterpiece Fern Hill or Keats’ On First Looking Into Chapman’s Homer

to

be

written

like

so.

but they don’t NEED to be and in fact it would probably take away from the actual lyricism of the work.

did you guys see the poem from a couple of days ago in poetry dot org’s daily poem it was so good and a treat to read
