N-SAMPLE 🍣

the saddest thing with X the everything app falling off just that bad is ill never get to make another post like "abolish legal names" which gets people qrting me calling me some kind of evil 1984 fascist who wants a dystopia irl

BROCOCK??!?!?

super truth nova

enemies have been slightly bruised award

okay everyone it's time for an engineering challenge. you're an armaments engineer and going to war somewhere that has an atmosphere of 90% oxygen. what do you do for ranged weapons

basically sengoku fires Instantly with zero forewarning or buildup on january 1400 and it essentially randomises what daimyos arise. (essentially). and so this kicks the daimyo player out 99% of the time

like the way it's done has me think, like. okay. i see what you are planning to do, eventually. right now, this is blatantly just a thing you put together to just have it be a thing whatsoever. it's completely barebones

fyi by "genuinely unplayable" i am not doing a comedic exaggeration. it is physically impossible to play it. if you play as anyone other than the shogun the game kicks you out on january 1 1400 because the sengoku situation is coded in a blatant "let's just get this to function at all and go" way

the auto-balancer for armies does stupid shit like create an entire flank of cannons, there's a tonne of little QoL missing... please for the love of fuck let this game cook two years more

kill every producer and shareholder

like i truly believe the core mechanics and ideas in this game are amazing. you can do so many interesting things with situations and IOs and i adore the market system and i love foreign buildings and regular armies/levies

but it's just blatantly not finished and it's pissing me off

i have to save and reload the game every decade or so because sometimes provinces don't get the province starving modifier removed even after they stop starving. pop migration in japan is broken. it is possible for the red turbans in china to never happen because of a code error

like there's visible grammar issues, mechanics that straight up just clearly aren't done, japan is actually genuinely unplayable, multiple nearly game-breaking bugs (thank fuck they're avoidable), graphical glitches...

shit nobody cares about:

eu5 is a great game. i really love the core game and its base systems and i think they're amazing to build on, in a way other pdox releases like vicky 3 have honestly never been, except maybe ck3 activities

but this game was released blatantly unfinished

that shits from the 15th fucking century and it's just gone its still totally fucked. it's one of the most deeply ecologically fucked places in the world second only to salton lake

back then even the germans and the chinese were only managing things such as exhausting fields and ruderals meanwhile poland was managing turning a lush forest into straight up just impossible to grow on hyperwesthered sand

a historical pioneer in creating anthropogenic wastelands

i just realised teletubbies is DEI as fuck hold on that's awesome

色ムズい

so here's an idea. you know sleep debt? there should be sleep investment. sleep for 3 days straight and now you don't have to for the next 3 weeks. no, not 9 days, it should be compounding interest

i have like a zillion wikipedia tabs and academic papers open at all times. that one friend who loves to learn things. if i was immortal my goal would be to learn every single piece of information that isn't private and interpersonal

fuck you (carries your dead body with delicate and reverent care)

the cuomindang have retreated to staten island and declared all foreign shipping through the new york harbor subject to attack under cuomo's "closed port policy"

and i'm doing my best to make sure that all "evidence" is present no matter what. just in really varying degrees of attention. sometimes the "evidence" to solve a certain mystery is there, but the characters aren't really paying attention to it and you have to, and sometimes they'll point it out

but that's kinda friction, right? people like playing vns with a route guide. and double-checking their choices. while the point here is to just go ahead and go with what you are thinking in the moment

which i know people sometimes dislike in visual novels. but the point in nn is kind of that like, it changes enough that you, the player, end up with different opinions about the nature of things and about the characters, such that you make different choices at *important* points

i'm realising the way we're writing nihil novi will probably be some friction to people in terms of structure specifically. a lot of the choices you get to make don't like... alter your path, they just change large swathes of dialogue and prose
