TOP 7 Reasons why Hogwarts Legacy is a bad game and you should play Paradox Interactive games instead
A 🧵:
1) Unlike in Crusader Kings, you cannot seduce neither your sister nor your daughter. In fact, the game lacks any incest at all, making it baffling why anyone would play it
While you can ride a bird-horse thing, you cannot appoint him to be your chancellor or fuck him either!
2) While the Harry Potter universe shows blatant lack of respect for native cultures, you were never able to personally wipe them our. But fear not, because Europa Universalis exists!
Similarly, the game's Astronomy lessons are incredibly boring without comet stability hits
3) In Imperator Rome, slaves are an important resource which you can move around your empire, or free if you're not a PoS, while Hogwarts' own slaves are permanently confined to the kitchen
I:R fans should however rest assured that Legacy is just as buggy as their favourite!
4) JK Rowling hates two things- Death Eaters (Nazis) and trans women. Did you ever want to hear their side of the story?
Well, you can if you join a Hearts of Iron IV discord, which are comprised of nothing but Nazis and trans girls (not always fully separate categories)
5)JK Rowling claims to be a leftist, but turns her nose up at everyone left of Gordon Brown - and her post-scarcity society has an awful lot of poverty!
Victoria 3 will teach you that landowners are evil and communism is the ideal system! As a bonus, you can also do colonialism!
6) You finished Legacy and crushed a rebellion of opressed classes, yet you are still unfulfilled?
Try Stellaris and take your genocidal oppression INTO SPACE! Or you can play as the plucky Space Goblins and turn the tables on the Fallen Empire of your wizard masters!
7)Have you ever played Legacy and thought "Wow, I love this game and hate trans people, but I really wish there was more traffic management here!"
Say no more- Cities Skylines is the solution! The only magic you can do is summon disasters that mostly hurt minorities and the poor!

I genuinely don't care much about Palestinian antisemitism atm, especially for those actually in Palestine (or say, Ukrainian Russophobia). There's time to deal with it later. But these are textbook Nazi arguments unrelated to Israel!
Here she is retweeting Holocaust denial BTW
The "yes, she is/every time" is a common online Nazi phrasing and Koschel is a open white nationalist
Like cmon, this is the guy she was talking about in that first post
I couldn't decide which configuration I liked better - whomever has US on their side likely wins (especially the Allies), and I can see US/China and Japan going either way
Ask about my reasoning for any country, some were pretty close
Here's how I see the peace shaking out: First an Allied win
A Cold War between US/UK and their fascist Mediterranean allies vs Stalin, Mao and Thallman and the socialist bloc, with Poland completely destroyed and France split in two, as former Central Powers regain lands
Okay the discourse has inspired me, here's a thread on what redesigns I'd use for US state flags🧵
The goal is to have recognizable, normal flags (so long, seal on bedsheet flags!) without turning it into hypersimplified dystopia. References to important state symbols and events are a bonus. Redesigns found online, all credit to amazing artists who drew them
Starting off strong, I would change nothing about Alabama, Alaska and Arizona. Alabama's flag is perfectly serviceable, while Alaska and Arizona have some of the best in the world
As the author themselves writes, Chasten was heavily bullied in school, homeless for a time after coming out to his family at 18 and was sexually assaulted soon after. Not sure the dig at "trauma" is particularly necessary
This horrible comment about their children is something you've probably seen by now, so not even going to comment more there
As for the stuff on Pete's tenure, they're true but probably have little to do with him- generally why mayors make for bad candidates!
I remember a tweet a while back about how some people see purges as a necessary evil, while others seem to revel in them as the main goal of their politics and this seems to be the second case
Sure politics is dirty, but a socialist party executing liberals and socdems has probably lost the plot and is a laughable idea in the 21st century west
Person who thinks mass slaughter is only "less okay" and identified as an anarchist
