Workers and Resources: Soviet Republic. It doesn't have bike lanes but you can set a fully pedestrianised city, as emergency vehicles can use footpaths if needed. It also has trains, trams, buses and trolleybuses. Also helicopters, which are cool but impractical most of the time. The public transport line management is pretty in depth too, you can have pick up only spots, spots specific for workers or students, drop off only, or a bunch of other parameters. It's really good.

It also has resource management, but the difficulty settings are really granular so you can adjust it to however you like.

It's probably in reference to NATO countries supplying Ukraine with weapons on the provision they are not used in Russian territory. This meme is potentially implying that NATO shouldn't care about a direct war with Russia.

The reason it would be using LOTR is because DAE Ruzzians is orcs?

But don't worry, this time the racism against the enemy is justified since they are inherently different, and not even european. They have a completely different outlook on death, and don't value their own or each other's lives. Also the same with China.

A good documentary, on the USSR though not modern Russia, is The Human Face of Russia. You can find it on YouTube. It's Australian as well so it's interesting seeing a look into the Soviet Union from the point of view of a country that is aligned with the US but without so much Red Scare propaganda.

They are marxists and/or leninists because they are marxist-leninists. Fascism and Nazism are very different things to Marxism-Leninism, and I think people just see something that isn't a western democracy and call it fascist as a knee-jerk reaction.

Because it isn't unless you play competitive really. Since I generally hate sweaty online competitive games I don't really mind if frames are under 60 sometimes. The only online games I play are slower paced where a frame coming slightly quicker wouldn't be a huge advantage.

That's why I built a high end PC with a 144hz 1440p monitor.

If you're looking for something weird narrative wise with a hint of tragedy and is also short, I can't recommend Slaughterhouse Five enough. I won't go into it too much, but it will almost definitely be at your local library, and won't take too much time to read.

Atlantic Canada and the Maritimes refer to the same thing right? I'm not from there so I get the terms confused, but I hope to see a Nova Scotia/New Brunswick/ P.E.I. team eventually.

Surely it would be better to put teams in more passionate hockey areas? Seattle made sense but Atlanta really seems like football country. Quebec, Hamilton or the Maritimes seem better and more interesting to me, especially Quebec or the Maritimes. I'm sure I read a study about how Canada could support far more teams despite their smaller population due to the higher proportion of hockey fans.

An obvious choice for me is The Hobbit. It hits a completely different and more adventurous feeling to LoTR, while still hinting at the lore that would follow. Sometimes I think I might prefer to LoTR in general tbh.

Surely this year will be the Lions' year. Surely. Right?

I liked this one. Zapp always gives me a laugh. So far this and the Christmas ones have been my favourites, the rest being meh to ok.

 

Are posts about games that are heavily inspired by Fallout allowed in this community? By that I mean games like Atom RPG or Space Wreck.

Also, any recommended mods for the OG two Fallouts? I've heard of 1.5 but I haven't got into mods for them yet.

 

Is there any equivalent to the Star Trek viewing party sub yet? I'm watching through Next Gen right now and reading through each episode's thread afterwards is pretty enjoyable. There isn't enough love for TOS on that sub though
