Pet peeves: The return (Part 4)

I see you, new XV88 Broadside Battlesuit design

Also, I’m slowly eating a bag of crisps because I’m hungry. I hear a stomach rumble, have to ask him if that was him or me.

Peeve: Replaying Hearts of Iron 4 as Ethiopia, once again going with the Emperor Stays focus. And good grief it just feels like self-torture. Especially when if you overthrow Haile Selassi and become communist, the Soviets can give you 10k rifles to solve your shortage, or if you go with the historical-but-actually-succesful path of Selassi appealing to the League of Nations, you get all manner of nice bonusses to drive the Italians out. And then there is ofcourse the option of just accepting your new Italian Overlords and then decide to either befriend or overthrow them later…

But cause I’m a stubborn git, I’m gonna try overthrow them again myself.

Oh my god, finally!

Never heard of her but a simple googling already tells me she’s uncontested Best Girl.

The fat, carbs and salt diet is scientifically proven to guarantee brief happiness.

Being Emperor of Italy sure seems a solid flex.

It starts in Sadrith Mora in vvardenfel’s eastern wetlands, look for an Argonian named Eoki

Just got a phonecall. My dog has been unwell for two days and they can’t find out what’s wrong with him while he’s in pain from something. Bloods found nothing. So if he’s not better by Monday he will need a Ā£600 scan. Which yea, we’re gona pay it for obvious reasons, but this is heartbreaking :frowning:

Looks up from post about some Tory ā€˜Benefits’ minister talking about they Know You, they will Find You, Hunt you Down and Kick in your Door. Because Fraud bad (except when they do it)

Hm?

I enjoyed Dominic Raab’s ā€œI’m sorry you feel I was rude, I wasn’tā€ type words.

In less Peeved news, I completed the storyline of Horizon: Forbidden West’s DLC (Burning Shores). Cinematically and narratively? Beautiful. Loved it. 10/10, no notes.

Gameplay wise? I still think Zero Dawn was actually more fun to play, mostly because you were never scrambling for half a dozen different weapons that, inexplicably, all have different ammo loadouts. You had certain weapons did certain elemental damages or tricks, and you knew what you could rely on. Also, if I have one outstanding critique of FW it’s that it is lousy for explaining somewhat obtuse mechanics, and trying to dodge certain attacks from certain enemies and bosses is UTTER BULL-
Despite the swearing, I was very happy. Now to go 100% completion hunting again.

Oh, it also gets kudos for Aloy being a fantastic Disaster Lesbian, finally scoring, and making a load of internet chads mad as a result, because ā€œwHaT dOeS tHiS aDd To ThE gAme?!ā€
Shut up, Clive, Mass Effect came out years ago, you’re very late (but not late enough…)

Edit:

Raab, and all the Tories in fact, need to be loaded into a cannon and fired into the sea.
Y’know, along with all the other sewage and sludge, that they allowed there.

Today’s Fact That Should Radicalise You is that wage theft (not paying employees what you owe them, even before we talk about Marxist frameworks of labour just literally the money they are owed) is more prevalent than every other form of theft put together and it is almost never considered a crime, let alone prosecuted

(this will not be a regular series I am too sleepy)
