Was that not obvious? When the entire collective of western national governments and all involved businesses involved within hours all started heading the same direction?

This is the end of the open internet. This is 1984 style censorship and information control.

inb4 - Yes of course there will always be ways around whatever they try. But thats for people who know what they're doing. Not for the ipad kids and ipad grandparents. Not for the appified generation in between that doesn't know how to navigate a file system or use TOR. For them it's a walled garden. Which will be carefully curated and controlled.

Player driven games like this are always and only going to have a small dedicated fan base. Might blow up big on release. But people get tired of player driven everything pretty quick.

My first game like that was Face of Mankind. And it's still one of my all time favorites. Largest long term playerbase was a little over 4000 people. And we kept that game alive until the lead dev stole a bunch of crowdfunded money from us and ran away.

Exploiting a monopoly has its perks.

The three that are in jail. What are they? CIA? If I was a betting man that would be my bet. Caught either spying or sowing dissent. Trying to spur a movement for regime change.

I expect all his policy to be shit. So when it's always shit I'm never surprised. Because he is a grifting carpetbagging sack of flaming shit. A tragic waste of functioning organs. The world's most notorious oxygen thief. Also he is a fucking moron. If there was a photo negative of Mensa where stupid motherfuckers competed to see who the dumbest motherfucker of all the dumb motherfuckers was, he'd be it's lifetime appointed leader.

As a white people. I'd prefer less white people.

It's made of scam. Hire some discount jank company to do the job for 1/5 of that and pocket the rest.

What isn't?

This country never recovered from the 2008 crash. Each new "correction" as econ nerds put it has just compounded the damage done back then and added more. It isn't going to get any better.

Pretty much every company that matters decided to go full 1984 censorship and surveillance all at the same time. And the governments are more than happy to play along. UK, US, etc. Pretty much all of "the west"

I haven't played a porn game since I was a teen in highschool. 20-odd years ago. Now I own a whole mess of the things.

 

Pick a border. Whichever you're closest to. North or South. Look into making a plan. Crossing the border illegally is an option. Probably a better option if a draft is called. A charge and claiming asylum is preferable to being caught on the wrong side of a checkpoint. Fleeing war is a valid asylum claim pretty much anywhere on the planet.

Military recruitment has been all time low year over year for a decade or more. And Iran isn't Iraq. That is a modern professional military armed and trained just as well as our guys. This won't be a professional military vs an insurgency armed with homemade bombs and soviet era relics. If you want a peek at the attrition rates this war will have go look at the numbers coming out of the Ukraine war. On both sides.

Back when Bush's War on Peace kicked off my dad made plans to get me out. He looked up an old war buddy he was in Vietnam with who lived in Canada. They planned to smuggle me across the woodlands. Not through an official crossing. Thankfully that plan never needed to be used. But he was serious. And I remember how serious he was.
