Because my app shows it to me and I wanted to understand.

Responding to your deleted comment, I’m genuinely not sure how Jar Jar’s role in the downfall of the Republic in Episode 3 is the joke being made by this comment. Sorry.

Is the Greek question mark a legal identifier for variable names?

Yeah fair enough. That sort of thing is definitely subjective and it would be impossible for anyone to say you’re wrong.

Personally, I find the new QOL features impossible to live without now. Shift-queueing absolutely any task, being able to queue multiple techs or techs and units, villagers keeping one resource until they actually start gathering—rather than losing all the gold they’re carrying just because you accidentally clicked a tree—farm autoreseeding. To me, none of these really change the fundamental way the game feels, they just make it feel like a smoother, more polished version of the original game.

Huh, that’s very interesting. I’m genuinely curious to know what it was that you didn’t like about it.

Because the truth is that you’re seemingly in the extreme minority. While 2013’s HD edition seemed to split the community and received a bit of a mixed reaction, since 2019’s DE has been an unmitigated success in terms of both finances for the devs, and in terms of unifying and growing the size of the community.

“Freedom of the press” is a joke

Yes, I know that’s what China believes. That’s why it’s so important.

Sleep well, genocidist.

Horseshoe theory doesn’t make sense. That’s the thing.

Until suddenly you start seeing people who call themselves leftists denying genocide. Which is something we usually think of as being a quality of the far-right.

(The obvious solution here, of course, is that these people who call themselves leftists…aren’t. Because if leftism is about equality, there’s nothing equal about subjecting a people and preventing the continuance of their culture.)

There’s a big difference between being upset at some difference in ideology and looking at people sincerely defending or denying a genocide in the name of that ideological difference.

If you deny something that’s actually not a real thing, you’re not a genocide denialist. So…no.

I do love how tankies have such poor intellectual rigour that if someone calls them out on something they immediately jump to the worst possible straw man. It really undermines your case.

Where are leftists denying genocide? I’ve never heard a leftist deny a genocide, ever.

In Xinjiang province of China. That’s where.

But of course, if you define “genocide” as “thing that I’m willing to politically accept is a genocide”, it’s very easy to pretend someone isn’t a genocide denialist.

you seem like you’re pretty supportive of the violent authoritarian USian regime

Where, precisely, did I suggest that at all?

Zagorath,
@Zagorath@aussie.zone avatar

What evidence would you accept? Because you act as though you’ve already convinced yourself it’s not real and wouldn’t accept any evidence to the contrary. What, precisely, would convince you that you’re wrong, if firsthand accounts aren’t good enough?

Zagorath,
@Zagorath@aussie.zone avatar

Oh, I see. I saw someone else make that same comparison just a minute ago.

I guess this is the new tanky line? Try and discredit the Uyghur genocide by pretending it’s equivalent to bullshit claims about a white genocide? Nice. Clever rhetoric. Shame you seem to have exposed the astroturfy nature of your movement so blatantly with your timing there.

The technical term for quotation marks used that way is “scare quotes”.
