If you think about it, the Rural Folk in Victoria III are the real villains.

I just called the petit-bourgeoisie IG "chudjaks" aloud in an actual design discussion, I've been ruined.

"Was Richard Nixon babygirl?", the greatest Victoria III design discussion in history, locked after 37 Slack pings.

I can't type at all when I'm tired, I keep entering dates in the interest group parameter and "petty bourgeoisie" in the ideology parameter.

It would be very interesting to create a narrative/questline that pits the player's desire to not hurt a vulnerable/woobieish character's feelings against the fact that said character is getting into some fascist stuff.

I always look forward to going to work the most on weekends, and the least on Wednesday evenings.

I accidentally defined some Bolsheviks in Victoria III as female due to a copy/paste error, leading to a Lenin with spectacular, flowing locks.

Definitely going to pitch Hamiltonianism as an ideology next PDT, we need love for the Anti-Jacksonian Party.

I've picked up an interest in modifying the pop composition of interest groups dependent upon specific laws and pop conditions - eg, instead of farmers having a flat 50 attraction to Landowners, make it scaled by wealth. Very interested in seeing how this works.

The real lesson of Victoria III is that an Autocracy with a progressive Intelligentsia leader is the optimal form of government, and every other form is for cowards and losers.

I am so very pleased, and my wrist very much hurts.

Hello, thank you for the list! Could I have an add?

I break it down into a formula and tend to fall into a rhythm while I do it. If I'm in the right headspace, I can't stop midway, I can't bring myself to leave, say, the blue highlights incomplete. And then I will leave it for a day and do the cloth, etc.

I've reached a new milestone - somehow overscoping a physical object.

Intelligent use of primary sources in development of historical content is very important. Secondary sources are good, yes, but nothing can beat manul documentation from 1903.

Adding something obnoxiously difficult/complex to Victoria III and then seeing the AI actually pull it off always makes me feel like a proud mother.
