On the other hand, you got to witness the devs' absolute balls, so there's that, right?

I guess.

That's probably a good idea. Though, for the record, I was even dumber. I... kinda didn't even consider it. I just went "yeah we can cover more ground like this" and split up without even thinking about the possible risk.

I just felt jaded with getting deaths at this point, I guess. The obvious one yesterday killed my motivation for the rest of the day, but then getting another one that feels obvious just kInDa made internally quit at stopping it. I don’t know, I just should play in a better mindset, where I accept that hey, it happens, but it doesn’t half to.

So yeah, I foresaw it but just went “eh” thanks to that and the time limit running out already.

Okay, not to trashtalk or anything, but when I got to minute 1 and the game's world map was literally just Europe without England, I kinda laughed my ass off. Are the creators of this game so American that Europe looks like the exotic wilderness to them?

Actually, the American map of Europe is just England.

Well, the deaths you've suffered are kinda heavy. I can understand feeling down after them. But you don't have long now! The end is almost within sight!

Ah yes, of course. I'd forgotten. There's Europe, and then there's the vast, uncharted wilderness that's a little to the right of Europe.

”Well yeah, how can they be developed when they don’t speak English?”

I only was playing just now because I was close to the end, which made it worse. Maybe I need another day, not sure.

Alright, I am doing much better at Alien Soldier, now that I remapped the buttons in the Switch's settings. Jump just has to be on the B button. Sucks the Mega Drive Collection doesn't have a remapping feature build in. It's really inconvenient having to do remap the hardware's own key bindings all the time.

You know, Alien Soldier's plot is so weird.
The opening crawl provides context until you fight Xi Tiger in stage 9. But the game has like 25 stages or so. So for the remaining 2/3rds of the game, it's anyone's guess what actually happens.
Like, who the heck is Epsilon-1 and why does the planet blow up after you beat him? And what's with that star constellation? How is the actual final boss connected to anything?

Perhaps you do. Don't stress over such a thing, give it some time if you don't feel up to it.

Spoiler

By the way, have you returned to Arberrang yet?

This gives them a bit too much credit, I'm pretty sure everything east of Germany is C O M M I E S for them.

Also, since when does anyone know Portugal exists? Even Spaniards forget Portugal exists sometimes.

Wait, so Galicia doesn't just extend all the way down?

I mean...

Can you see it, either? Okay, bad example, since there is a Portugal there. Just, vassal to the Spanish Emperor.

I mean, I’m American and I knew it exists and which one it was. And I can’t name half of those countries.

Actually, Castilla y Leon, Extremadura and Andalucia extend all the way left.

Of course, completely understandable. Tomorrow, then.

Way to go, Sooks! Unfortunately, you have now revealed yourself as a traitor to the great US of A. A detachment of the army is en-route to your home. Surrender quietly or be shot to shreds.

Remember when Xseed said 2021?

There goes a potential Xmas gift. The money can go towards therapy instead.

Yeah, apparently that's due to the recent Story of Seasons game's script needing some heavy editing.

I'm not sure if it's "heavy editing" or actually adding more new dialogue. Some fans complained there was a severe dearth of unique daily conversations, which is very bad when chatter is how you primarily convey character.

Honestly, it is odd that Spain never gobbled up Portugal at some point, barring Philly II's takeover lasting until Philly IV. But then again, Andorra, Monaco, Luxembourg, San Marino, and Liechtenstein all still exist. The European state formation process taking place gradually over centuries wasn't wholly clean and rational and neither is the American state system.

I ran out of them. I don’t know when the last save was though, might just restart the chapter.

Well, I guess you're right. With how I set things up, it's more like the Kingdom of Porto-Galicia. Hey, that's my heir's land you're talking about. She has both the German and Italian crowns. I'm likely to inherit those once I move over to Europa Universalis IV.

It's alright as long he's in a Blue state.

Well, at first they had a something of a Bedouin infestation. That allowed the people of Porto to pretty much break free, and take their own chunk of land in the Reconquista. It took a century before the Pope declared them a bonified Kingdom, and thus the Crown of Castile knew better than to try something. Also, the Anglo-Portuguese alliance, one of the oldest in the world.

They still did, for a time, though. The Iberian Union of the 17th Century. Didn't last.

Right... Sorry for being so persistent, I just want to know your experience with the final stretch in full!

With the commander in chief focusing on getting rid of “extremism in the military”, the army might know the countries of Europe now.

Persistent? No, you only asked once, it’s okay. If the final stretch is super epic or something I want to experience it with a better mindset!

Crusader Kings II is such a fun game.

Fun fact. One of the most wild things in my game is that the the island of Iceland is completely culturally Egyptian. Yes, Egyptian. You can build actual Pyramids on the map thanks to the Great Works system. Sadly, not one was built there during the game.

Also...

Black Death couldn't breach the Cliffs of Dover in this timeline.

The pyramids are just big alehouses in this timeline.

On a similar subject, the Holy Land is Prussian.

The Children's Crusade triggered, and it was a Prussian kid who became the subject of the Crusade. They won. Since the event itself is wonky and the game gives the lad over 100K troops at the point of the game that's still a curb stomp. And... because I pledged to support him, and added my own +100K troops. lol
