Nothing makes Sartha Thrace feel good the way properly using foreshadowing as a literary device does.

DS3 is nice as a video essay.
But the gameplay experience is miserable.
The floorboards have that early 2000s videogame color.

I would not consider them "veterans".
They are doing it of their own accord, there is no duty or necessity.
They should not be out there invading a foreign country for money.
Goodnight!

In this case, they do not.
The "study" takes too few people from too many groups, while ignoring more relevant factors that are clearly at play here.
For example, if we ignore the age, some of these countries differ in their results several times.
Even wargames don't do that - "out of action" table contains a variety of outcomes ranging from death to minor injury.

Well, the problem is that I simply do not have it.
"You can do anything!" (and the room is completely empty, and not even a room)
I probably have to clarify that I do not have visual imagination.
I had some success running RPGs, but not playing.
When I was running it, it felt like the players were just filling in the (massive) blanks, and enjoying an experience they imagined for themselves.
I think my problem with it is the fundamental aspect that makes it a role-playing game: the outcome depends on chance and character stats, rather than on player input.
There is nothing you can -do- to make the thing happen.
I'm still unsure how it all supposed to work.
Like, what can the player -do- in the game?
I tried D&D -after- having played wargames, so it was a terrible experience.
Like, I don't understand why people even do it.
It's a tedious, clunky wargame where you get to control exactly one boring unit.
When all you have is 5E, every problem looks like a tedious combat encounter!

The problem here is exacerbated by the fact that Boomers are a phenomenon specific to certain countries.
The demographic boom (that uniquely affected their lived experiences) did not happen -everywhere-.
- take several extremely different groups, with varying opinions between
- divide them by another, unrelated criteria, to shake up the result
- "research"
what I saw / what I drew

And like, these countries have very little in common between each other.
There's no reason they should ever be lumped together in "research" like this. It won't provide any information.
Why does EVERYONE pretend like it looks good?

12 years ago.
Why would they be using maps this outdated - and only for this specific attack?
The attack was premeditated, they had all the time in the world to check - one would reasonably assume, so they did.
The "mistake" was to participate in a bombing campaign against a randomly chosen country halfway across the globe.

Look dude, they just decided to bomb a school.
It's what war criminals do.
On no map is this school a former military installation.

A group that perfectly executed their assassination of a political leader, can not claim bad intel.
This is usually described as indiscriminate attacks.
The closer the objects are placed, the more precise weapons should be used.
Not every target with military service members in it, is legal either.
So SOFT

After assembling some Artifact kits, I have a lower opinion of Assemble.
I have seen how much more it can be (at slightly lower price).
It is in the same scale as Battletech mechs (1:285/1:300), but not in the same scale as Battletech buildings (smaller, to fit in a hex).

I still have a lot of stuff to get rid of, including larger and inconvenient items.
Please help.
Starts now, continues until hope has fully withered.
There are... zombies??

Finished another group of tiny mechs (added infantry).
