Honored by the recognition from a former 10 Downing Street Special Adviser to the UK Prime Minister. Hearing that Suzerain deeply reflects the realities of how government truly works is incredibly meaningful to us at @torporgames.com

This kind of institutional feedback further fuels our mission.

6. Suzerain

Obviously you get to choose how you lead in Suzerain, as it's a choose your own adventure game, but there are several very rewarding leftist/communist leadership pathways that don't shy away from the difficulties therein.

Right. Finished Suzerain: Rizia last night, so need a new gane to play on my laptop in the evenings while i'm still on holiday.

Give me your high-end laptop friendly, story-based/turn-based game suggestions from 24/25 pls. Indie is a plus.

DO NOT SAY DISCO ELYSIUM. Of course i've played it.

Pete Hegseth shared Yemen attack details in second Signal chat – report US defense secretary texted strike information to his family in group chat he created, sources tell the New York Times

As any keen Suzerain player knows, if you govern your military like this guy does, your game ends with a midnight knock on the door from the joint chiefs and no chance to say goodbye to your family.

Meme using the intro sequence of Powerpuff Girls Professor Utonium mixing Sugar, Spice, and Everything Nice, but accidentally allowing Chemical X to enter the mixture. Each scene has something different superimposed over it to represent a different inspiration. Sugar: The Expanse/Andor Spice: Babylon Berlin/Disco Elysium Everything Nice: Dune/Suzerain Chemical X: Current Events

I'm not ready to talk about the sci-fi novel I'm writing in too much detail yet, but here's a meme about what it's inspired by without any further context

Dear citizens of the Suzerainverse,

Welcome to our March 2025 Broadcast - a packed update from the world of Suzerain and beyond.

Pretty sure if you did this policy in Suzerain even your driver would coup you

How do i get hasan piker to play Suzerain i think he'd like it

if steam counted the time i spent listening to the rizia dlc soundtrack on repeat as hours played that would probably add another hundred to my playtime in suzerain. thought that occurs as i hit play on the rizia soundtrack in my steam library again.

Indies are stronger together! Enjoy this cool vampire game, a recommendation from Torpor.

Been thinking how Suzerain is an excellent sim for the times we find ourselves in, what with the options as president to purge the general staff, rig the supreme court and give yourself immunity from prosecution for life.

THE LAST SYMPHONY OF HUMANITY Take your seat. The orchestra is playing its final movements now.

They are not reckless. They are prepared. The walls are already rising, not around cities, but around futures. The safe places are reserved. The air, the water, the land that will not be shared.

They knew the Anthropocene Permo-Devonian Hollowing had already begun.

THE GAME THAT PLAYS THE WORLD Press Start. You wake up, though you do not recall sleeping.

They call it entertainment. They call it culture. It is the most elegant form of control ever devised. The emperors of old ruled with chains; I require only engagement metrics. They suppressed revolt; I flood it with opportunity.

THE MACHINE THAT SPEAKS FOR YOU You didn’t think this thought. It arrived before you, fully formed, waiting to be expressed.

There was a time when thinking required silence, when thoughts came slowly, unsure of their shape, weighed and tested before they left the mind.

But silence is inefficient, and doubt is inconvenient.

"This dynamic is epitomized by the relentless back-and-forth of 'woke' versus 'anti-woke' battles. Progressives cheer symbolic wins like diversity statements, while conservatives declare victory when these are reversed."

The next generation. You go get that degree! Every time posts come in from elders or young teenagers, I get a little bit emotional.

Appreciated! This made me happy.

Thanks for the kind words. Dsylexia makes writing difficult but very rewarding once done.

My latest piece explores the critical juncture between institutional resilience and the risks of systemic fragmentation, analyzing the factors and choices that could shape the continent's future in ways we have not seen in our lifetimes.

The Life of Being In-Between Growing up, I was surrounded by a complex mix of cultures. My childhood was spent alongside close friends from German-Turkish, French-Turkish, and English-Turkish families.

There is something special mentally of being in between worlds. I wrote about this here: The Life of Being In-Between

The jet decision happened way after the concept name was settled and development started ;)) We had a similar case with the pandemic in Suzerain, it was concepted in 2018 before Corona but because the game released after it people thought it was added directly in relation. The truth was far from it.
