Espurrhoodie Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 On the topic of love lives, mine is also nonexistent. Tbh, I don't really care about finding love right now. I'll just wait until I go to college and see if anyone can cause my cold, dead, emotionless self to feel something vaguely resembling love. Also I'm like 17 so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interdimensional Observer Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 (edited) Civ VI was literally unplayable for a month for me b/c an update broke it (it affected the Switch port only). The latest update included a fix for that, though glitchy UI remains. Decided to play an easy Prince match going for a Diplomatic Victory with Mali b/c the change of Pagodas to providing Diplomatic Favor makes Religion extraordinarily powerful in winning World Congress votes. It was my first Diplomatic Victory, and it's sure to be my last for a long while, I like the idea of it, but it's too random and not "diplomatic" enough. I never used my insane Malian Gold generation from up to 22 Trade Routes for buying Diplo Favor b/c the UI made the amount of Favor I was buying invisible when I tried to do it. I had no nearly desert in my empire despite Mali's start bias for it. The Feed the World Follower Belief allowed me to create a slew of thriving arctic and antarctic cities instead, on lands no other civ reached or wanted. No Dance of the Aurora for stupendous Faith generation even if I got over 600 per turn, I picked Religious Settlements for my Pantheon instead. 1 hour ago, Armagon said: And that was why the Spanish War happened. The media blamed Spain for that ship explosion in.....Puerto Rico, was it? Despite there being no evidence that Spain was actually responsible. Amateur historian here, it was Cuba. "Remember the "Maine, to hell with Spain." Yellow journalism at its worst. Puerto Rico and the Philippines were taken from Spain despite the war being specifically for the freedom of Cuba. If I remember my high school textbook correctly, Puerto Rico and the Philippines were taken for one reason- the Second Industrial Revolution had sent the US economy skyrocketing, and the country was hungry for action and hungry for empire- or at least so a political elite believed. A generation had peacefully passed since the Civil War, so perhaps domestic weariness to war had declined. The US seized Hawaii and bought Guam, American Samoa, and the US Virgin Islands around the same time (as in a couple decades). And by the last decade of the 1800s, Europe and Japan had established vast empires, the US gov't didn't want to be left out of the empire game. As for Cuba, the US forbade itself from keeping the island, buuuuuuut inserted legal provisions to keep the country under indirect American hegemony. Guantanamo Bay stemmed from this, the US needs naval bases for its "Great White Fleet". And it needed break off Panama from Colombia because its gov't refused the US's money offer for that Panama Canal so the Great White Fleet could be a two-ocean navy. History lesson for the day.

If you'd like a smoother Inti Creates experience, the Azure Striker Gunvolt and Blaster Master Zero games are the best bets. All of them are on sale on the eShop rn (Steam also has every Gunvolt and BMZ game but I'm not sure if Steam is offering the same as well). Highly recommend, Inti Creates is peak 2D action platformer 98% of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
