Yeah this is why I’ve never tried it. When I was still on reddit the way people talked about space age turned me off. It seemed like a massive time sink that was more about upping the logistics to the nth degree than about new mechanics.
I really like space age so far because of how differently I’ve had to play on the first planet I landed on.
I’m assuming you’ve played it, but for others reading this: It’s more than just bonus content, the base game has been reworked to integrate the planets into the progression.
A Space Age playthrough is different than a base game playthrough basically from the get go.
Factorio addict and I can’t resist responding.
It’s absolutely worth it in my opinion. They have reworked multiple major systems in the game for QOL improvements (but most of those changes do not require the DLC). The progression has been reworked to fit in with the completely overhauled late game that revolves around traveling to different planets and managing logistics between them. So you’re not just getting bonus content.
I’m just dipping my toes into the new content but I think they did a phenomenal job of expanding on the base game without just adding another layer of complexity. I won’t go into detail in case you hate spoilers, but when I got to my first planet it was a similar feeling to the first time I played Factorio. It brought back that feeling of winging it and having to work out the best way to solve problems, which I hadn’t felt since my first couple playthroughs of the base game.
They actually performed worse with republicans than in 2020 lol.
Saying she ran an awful campaign is a judgement
I mean yeah but if this is your mindset then why are you on the internet talking about politics? Am I supposed to meekly say, “Democrats tried their best but it just didn’t work out!”.
No I’m not an expert but I followed this election cycle quite closely and I listened to experienced commentators and weighed their opinions on the matter.
The average american is worse off than they have been in a long time and Harris did not adequately address that. She campaigned on securing the border and continuing to support a genocide. She didn’t promise to take on corporate greed, or to tax billionaires, or to make sure all americans have access to healthcare. She didn’t give voters anything to get excited about. Her campaign was laser focused on telling voters that Trump is bad and that they should vote for her.
Many people, myself included, think that was a terrible strategy. The election results seem evidence enough for me but apparently some people think election results are not a good indicator of whether or not someone ran a good campaign.
For lots of these people it can’t get any worse. Gaza is being absolutely devastated, what do they have to lose? I’m not trying to argue that not voting democrat is a good idea, but I don’t think you are engaging with the situation these people are dealing with. It’s easy to argue from the sidelines that Trump is worse for Palestine, but I can’t imagine having to actually vote for an administration that is actively committing genocide on my home land.
Democrats got absolutely fucking destroyed in the election. I beg you to reflect on the strategies used by democrats and liberals. Have some compassion and try to understand the motivations of voters instead of blaming them for the failures of the democratic party.
You cannot win the support of people by shaming them, it simply doesn’t work. Please stop doing it.
Make that argument to the family members of people experiencing the genocide, I would imagine they will laugh in your face. These people are enduring unimaginable horrors, their children are being brutally murdered and libs keep telling them to suck it up because actually this is the lesser of evils.
It’s a pathetic fucking argument.
ok tough guy. Let me know when you’ve told a Palestinian that they are stupid for not voting democrat because Trump is going to murder their family even harder than Biden.
What are you even saying?
Your argument is essentially, “Hey I know democrats are committing a genocide against your people, but if you don’t vote for them republicans are going to genocide your people even harder”
Why should they believe democrats? The arguments you’re all making lack any sort of attempts to understand the people you’re talking about or the situation they are facing. Their families are being murdered every fucking day and Kamala couldn’t fucking stop herself from saying shit like “we’re going to have the most lethal army” and “israel has a right to defend itself”. I cannot imagine the emotions these people are dealing with and the fact that you are belittling them for not voting democrat is honestly disgusting.
This is how you lose elections. Trump may not have their best interest in mind, but he pretends to. He tells them what they want to hear.
Democrats don’t even pretend to care about regular folk and then wonder why they vote republican.
Imagine thinking “stop committing a genocide” is perfection.
Liberals are amazing creatures.
The response by so many people has been pathetic. Liberals are learning nothing.
If I’m understanding your comment correctly we’re more or less on the same page.
My question is not a literal question but me pointing out the paradox sucking up to Israel to “win the election” and then blaming pro-palestine voters after they lose the election.
Ok you go say that to their faces. Tell them they should suck it up and vote for an administration that is funding a genocide against their people. Tell them they’re being “idealistic” when they speak out against a genocide.
Liberals are amazing.
You’re doing the exact same thing. You are refusing to acknowledge any criticism to the Harris campaign and blaming voters for the loss.
Misogyny absolutely played a role in this election and I do not want to downplay the racism and misogyny that Harris had to work against, but she ran a fucking awful campaign. She sucked up to fascists, ignored her base, and belittled the concerns pro-palestine protestors.
I’m speaking now.
I’m not American and you didn’t answer my question.
If pro-palestinian one issue voters lost Kamala the election, why didn’t she appease them? Why are the voters to blame and not the democrats?
What are you saying then?
Dude I was locked in to the election for months, you’re blowing smoke out of your ass.
Go watch Jon Stewarts election recap. He has a montage of democrats saying shit like you would expect republicans to say.
She ran on having a lethal military, a secure border, and $50k for small businesses. But by all means show me receipts of her progressive campaign and I will happily concede my point.
It’s really interesting to me that you didn’t list a single one of her policies.
