Banner Lord, Banans Lord. You play as George “fentanyl” Floyd and he have to build up an army and lead it to conquer other towns and villages in order to get Bannans and drugs.

In 1959 women were denied the right to vote by referendum. Where you ask? Sweden. It wasn’t over turned until a 1971 court decision, and now we have the world’s #1 feminist government, thank you Advent tranny cops!

I think the “in” for leftist in 40k is that life of chaos worshiper is awkchually marginally better off than the average person in imperium, I heard that point being made before in some of the youtube lore videos. In the future they could push that further how imperium is too oppressive and xenophobic. They could also make Tau to be the “good guys”, but they are very gay.

Mike, if you like XCOM, you should try Othercide. It’s a much smaller scale game, but has fun gameplay and a nice twist on the genre. It’s got a lot of style too, and not a single nigger to be found.

PC sperg here. CGA (IBM PC) actually had two color modes at 320×240 resolution. One was the cyan/purple one Mike mentioned. The other was green/red/yellow. There were some pretty creative applications of them, such as the cooler, blue/purple for cold/frozen settings and the warm red/yellow for hot desert/tropics. There was also a 640×200 monochrome mode, 80×25 or 40×25 character 16-color text mode, and a composite mode, which was pretty impressive but not widely supported. That was the first computer I ever had, 30-odd years ago.

Xenonauts removed the management autism from the old one, so that you can just enjoy the core mechanic.

Into The Breach is another fantastic turn-based game

The newer xcomd are somewhat balanced, actually enjoyable. I wanted to enjoy final fantasy tactics, having some memories of it as a kid, but playing it recently on an emulator..wow. talk about no-balance. Archers barely hitting 2-digit damage, whilst wizards pushing 200 damage, across multiple enemies. Half the fucking spells miss, all within the span of a few stat points. A game i want to like, but frankly isn’t worth the stress (as most turn based strategy games outside pure balanced games like chess) anyways, fuck squaresoft and their recent games

DK this episode was great. Thanks for putting this podcast together. Have you played the new Baldur’s Gate? It’s still in early access and is pretty fun. There are of course some pozzed elements, but they are not “front and center” as in the new globalist / tranny x-com game that you talked about in this episode.
