"So thus, if you have truly realized that society has bound and degraded you through its contradictory and inadequate standards, your first and most vital act of rebellion is to love yourself - so as to free your mind from the trauma it has inflicted on you."

YT's element isn't even being a writer, he's best as a director tying both the mechanical and ludonarrative aspects of a game together! putting him as the writing lead of a nostalgia-sucker project like this is pure clapbait!

My favorite completely rootless flag has got to be the "democratic" Russia one

Asylum grifting has produced flags that even the most deranged Hearts of Iron modder couldn't have imagined.

China's enormous love for red alert 2 will never fail to produce some of the funniest bangers imaginable

oh wait iran's gorbachev has already been in power for what, years? doesn't bode well at all

The launch of the Chinese Type 095 SSN marks a milestone in the development of the PLAN's underwater capabilities. Here is my latest video covering some of the known features of China's newest nuclear submarine. https://t.co/frU78rP4ny

when you write in the threat of aliens (or some ontologically evil force) any imperial structure becomes justifiable, esp with a new coat of paint. The funny thing is that Muv-Luv itself contradicts its support for Imperial Japan by shuffling its protag to heaven at the end

We managed to fight off the cold but still need at least $50 USD to cover the medication costs my wife has! Anything helps even a just RTing!

In The West they have this concept called 'posting' where people greatly enjoy being publicly humiliated

They deserve life We are still suffering from a lack of donations, which is hindering the implementation of our relief projects for families in Gaza If everyone who sees this tweet donated just $10, it would make a real difference; a little goes a long way https://t.co/sAeUz5FBjg

@Iris_Illera China still lags in key areas of inorganic chemistry hence the need for the directed investment, but the other reason is to drag and consolidate the various different precursors for semiconductors into the city area itself, to create a self perpetutating industry hub

@Iris_Illera like one reason why the semicon sector in China is advancing so fast is that there's an ongoing benefit war between multiple city govts trying to create or get companies that make a specific photolithographic chemical, deposition machine or what to to stay and build their stacks

@Iris_Illera and then you often have city to provincial governments speeding up this process with targeted benefits and tax breaks for achieving certain goals, like the production level of a certain material or percursor part, so on and so forth

@Iris_Illera not sure about the exact dynamics wrt to city formation but indeeed that basis for vertical integration in industrial entities is pretty high becuz the cost of education and innovation due to said large real sector is very low

This pump-and-dump effect, perpertuated by bigger fish like Square, SEGA and others flooding the nascent mobile market with P&D/FGO clones, actually murdered the entirety of sub-AAA Japanese devs, not just VN, as entire studios and a generation of newbies were killed by burnout

VNs are a format characterized by low development costs, heavy focus on art/music for sales, and a small but loyal fanbases willing to pay through the nose. Under this circumstances, gacha was actually the logical continuation, so many devs made a ton of pump-and-dump gachas
