Not if you use a VPN. But now it wouldn't matter even if you were using a VPN because if you want any porn you'll need to submit a state-issued ID for "verification" purposes.

That's not remotely the point here.

That WAS the sale price. It's $200 something dollars for the complete set of Stellaris normally, on 50% sale that's still $100+ for everything. Pretty sure CKII was worse.

I mean, you say that, but a new player looking to get into Stellaris or CKII is looking at a $300 bill if they want all the content. In fact that's what prevented me from getting into Stellaris, I own the base game, but when I discovered I'd need to shell out an additional several hundred dollars, even during a sale, for not only new species but just for base game mechanics, I stopped in my tracks.

Compare with Civilization, I own Civ V and Civ VI and all the released content for each, pretty sure I bought each of those for less than $20.

If we had an appropriate scheduling for it so that it could be properly researched and manufactured we could just treat it like every other plant-based medicine we have (of which there are VERY many) - isolate and extract the compounds you're interested in and recombine them in a pill or gel or aerosol form. Making supplements or tinctures or whatever, from cannabis, wouldn't be any more difficult than creating aspirin from willow. The only reason it's difficult is because it's so highly scheduled that nobody is allowed to work with it.

Impressive. Last game I had hours like that in was Dark Souls 2 round 10 years ago. I am shortly going to break my first 200 hours for Elden Ring though, the DLC will send me over the breakpoint pretty comfortably. Then I get to start my second character for real, now that I have all the content for them to explore.

Honestly with a writeup like this I wouldn't be mad about it even if you did, this is excellent. I wish all my downvoted comments got this kind of attention.

Swang that thang brother, be proud of the progress. It's not about the meat, it's about the spirit that drives it.

Man, the ballots aren't even printed yet and they're already planning their "Nuh-uh!!!!!!!" for when they lose. Truly, this is the strength and fortitude you expect out of your fascist leaders. Very strong and confident.

I think this is all fair criticism. I played this game when I was 12, after all, and did mostly play the multiplayer after a single run through of the story.

Also important to note that I hadn't actually played the mainline Prime games yet at that time, that probably had a lot to do with it.

With Primehack you can play the OG prime series (I think the Wii U version?) on PC with a controller for dual joystick control like a modern FPS, or even m+k. It also runs well on steam deck, I have it on mine. It's very excellent, highly recommend.
