No, I only watched like two episodes and it seemed too “young” for me at the time, and then my kids never got into it.

Literally gave up and sold Scythe because I found the instructions to be convoluted and too difficult to explain to my group

I’m not too worried about it. I like Shadowheart, Karlach, and either Wyll or Gale as the 4th, and I play a version of a Dragonborn Paladin that I recently played in a Foundry Descent to Avernus campaign, so I’m having a blast with it!

Yeah, I don’t have this Astarion that everyone e is talking about, or the Gith from the opening scenes. I’m about to exit the Underdark in Act 1, so I think I just totally missed these two.

Oh well, they’re for the second play through then!

Gotta keep momentum going here in Michigan while the GOP is down. We’ve been doing some GREAT things so far, and I hope we can push further left.

Our governor is pretty great, but she is the daughter of the former CEO of Blue Cross of Michigan, so we’ll never get universal healthcare here under her watch.

What are the steps to a revolution without a civil war?

And wow, you looked at all, what, 25 Lemmy posts I have? Wow. Genius fucking detective here.

I don’t support fascism, you stupid fuck, but because I ALSO don’t support just murdering all the Republicans in the country, somehow that means I’m for the status quo.

I have zero to apologize for. You’re a dumb fucking teenager who thinks that we should have a revolution that somehow doesn’t devolve into a civil war, as if you can just say some magic words and red states, which have been a problem for this country since its foundation with all of the shitty compromises that had to be made to even FORM the United States, are somehow going to say “Oh, shit, this kid on the internet is right! Let’s accept what the left wants now!”

We agree that American conservatives are shitty humans who SHOULDN’T have power, but one of us doesn’t want millions of people to die to take power from them.

If I could wave a magic wand and take all military assets out of Confederate states while also getting every non-fascist out and to the better part of the US, then expel those shithole states, I would. But there’s no magic. There’s no way forward without war until at least until the geriatrics in charge die of old age. Unfortunately, the right has also weaponized new media, so GenX and a lot of my fellow elder Millennials have fallen for their shit, but fortunately it’s far fucking fewer than the Boomers and the self-glossed Greatest Generation.

I’m not willing to start killing Republicans, but it sure as fuck sounds like you are. About as far as I’d recommend is to slap anyone at your middle school who listens to Andrew Tate or Joe Rohan.

Why would we allow ANY foreign government to own land here? Kick the Saudis out of Arizona, too.

I just can’t get excited for this. I just feel like it’s been Star Wars overload, and it’s crazy to think of feel that way: I had every damn book that came out as a kid and couldn’t get enough Star Wars. But the rapid acceleration over the past decade with something new coming on TV or in the theater multiple times per YEAR has just burned me out.

Marvel did the same thing. I just can’t care about anything post Infinity War.

The use of drones in this war is fascinating from afar.

From an American perspective, I keep seeing calls from extremists for a new civil war, and it terrifies me because weaponry like this means shit will go poorly for civilians VERY quickly, even without going nuclear. I imagine that all these kids and young adults who think that playing CoD prepared them for actual war will be in for a big, brief surprise when a drone just deletes them while being operated by some guy in, like, Nevada.

Man, reading comprehension is NOT your strong suit, is it?

I’m this thread, I was responding to another leftist calling for, as he put it, “R E V O L U T I O N”.

Of course I’m also against shitty neo-Confederates ALSO calling for a civil war, but you already knew that, didn’t you, you condescending little sealioning fuckhead? Instead, you need to turn this into yet more whatabiutism.

I don’t want a new civil war. It’s that easy. If one starts, I simply don’t see a way that it doesn’t turn devastating and nuclear. Calling for a revolution is dumb: our military will likely split, and then two sides of the same super powerful weaponry are fighting in my homeland. No thanks!

That’s what I’m worried about and why I reject these calls from super-leftists for a new civil war. Do you want NYC, LA, SF, Detroit, Phoenix, Atlanta, Milwaukee, Seattle, and Portland nuked? Because that’s what happens when the hillbillies in Iowa and the Dakotas get their hands on the nukes that are stored there.

We’ve built the most powerful military the world has ever seen, along with the most powerful single weapon, and guys like the one I initially responded to just want to go ahead and shatter that with a civil war where the neo-Confederates WILL use that against Blue cities.

Yeah, it’s a good cross section, but that still means there are a LOT of neo-Confederates in the military. A new civil war would be devastating.
