The gameplay of Tactics Ogre isn’t similar to Ogre Battle even though they’re in the same franchise. The former is like Final Fantasy Tactics and Triangle Strategy while the latter is like Unicorn Overlord.

If you think these games have terrible names then I’d agree

The gameplay is the same as Ogre Battle, a franchise that has been dead for decades until now. I played Unicorn Overlord’s demo and didn’t really get it. It’s a really technical autobattler with really tropey characters. I was bored when I wasn’t confused

More like purgatory lol but def check it out! It’s really sweet

I just finished purrgatory yesterday! It’s a really cute visual novel about befriending weirdos and going to heaven. Getting the best ending took me the entire afternoon but it was worth it. Highly recommend if it looks interesting to you (it’s free and playable in your browser (but maybe not on mobile))

What do the 13 stripes represent this time?

Ah, bummer. Thanks for the help!

Próspero año y felicidad! 🪅🍻🥳

That emoji makes the blob look like a locoroco, I love it!

That’s also better advice than joining the army tbh

Listen to your gut: don’t join the army. There are better ways to get fit. Have you joined a gym? Your college might have one so you should use it if only for the sake of getting your money’s worth.

9/11 1973, when the US couped Chile and installed Pinochet

Yeah and it’s maddening how this rhetoric is still being used to justify sanctions. The USA brands Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism while propping up frickin Israel. Course, if the US didn’t have double standards then it wouldn’t have standards at all.

You know, for all the talk about how the USSR is fascist for the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, no one ever brings this up. Weird how a last-minute nonaggression pact is enough for white people to brand the Soviets as Nazis, but this somehow has no bearing on the UK or France.

Unrelated, but Jerboa says this post has -1 comments which I think is pretty funny

How much do you know about NATO? And Russian history? 🤨

Yes.

TL;DR because they got couped and are having a civil war right next to your border, are ignoring political attempts to resolve their issues, and want to join a military alliance that is an extreme threat to your national security

Ukraine has been in civil war since 2014 and hasn’t respected either of the ceasefires that it signed onto (Minsk protocols). The fight was broadly started over whether Ukraine should align itself with Europe & America or Russia. Since then, the country has been couped by the US and has been persecuting and killing Ukrainians who support Russia and/or protest the new government.

There’s also how Ukraine wants to join NATO, which would certainly mean that the US would station nukes right next to Moscow. Remember the Cuban missile crisis? This is basically the same thing but with even closer territories.

I’m not certain that Russia entering the war was the best move, but I’m also confident that US interference would never stop peacefully. I’m also certain that if it were a western country in a similar position, our media would be framing it as an intervention instead of an invasion. Keep in mind that Russia and Ukraine are separate countries in the first place because of US meddling and they’ve only been apart for ~30 years (many Russians have friends and family who died in the civil war prior to 2023).

So basically NATO has been expanding its way eastward since its foundation (despite promises not to) and has now butted up against Russia. Russia wants Ukraine to not join, but the US disagrees so here we are.

Btw this war doesn’t have much to do with Putin or Zelensky, really. Replace the head of state for either country and you’d still end up with the same conflict. And people have been writing about this for decades now, Brzezinski in particular basically plotted out the US policies that led us here.

Describing the trial of the OUN in Warsaw in 1935–1936, Mirchuk changed the political meaning of the fascist salute “Slava Ukraïni!” which the OUN members performed several times in the courtroom. He described how the OUN members shouted “Slava Ukraïni!” but did not mention that they extended their right arms. He thereby turned this greeting into something for which Ukrainian patriots born after the Second World War could have sympathy.

It’s basically how the US turned the fascist pledge of allegiance into something “appropriate” by making kids put their hands on their hearts instead of doing the nazi salute.
