I was just listening to an old podcast ep (citations-needed) from 2021 IIRC talking about the TRIPS waiver, and how they "didn't want to be too cynical" about Biden doing a whole song and dance which would amount to nothing. Just googled it and sure enough, we're still fucking blocking it. The american government must be destroyed.

I guess "The US will very likely end the world in nuclear hellfire" doesn't roll of the tongue as well.

You forgot Women's Beach Volleyball.

She may not be a villain but she's a liberal for not killing Batman and the billionaire right now.

Eh, it'd be a good step in the right direction if they did stack the court (though term limits and a code of conduct are laughable half-measures at best), but I have my doubts the dems will do anything. If they sincerely believed that the american right wanted to end democracy and put dem politicians in camps (to be clear, they're fine with other people being in camps), one would assume they'd be using that newfound presidential immunity to start drone striking "threats to the republic".

Edit: oh and obviously whatever tools the dems use, the republicans will use more ruthlessly as they care far, far less about optics. Might as well play to win.

Hopefully all this stress gives him a stroke!

Dude just took "Thou shalt not commit adultery" seriously and was looking to bring the lord's justice to renowned heretic Donald Trump.

I think they have one solar system "done" (not really) out of 100.

Death to Trump, death to his supporters. You don't stop fascism by playing nicely.

There is no threat from an electoral left third party in the US, and the Democrats would rather lose to the Republicans than stop the genocide, so no, there is nothing to be learned.

He'd be allowed to do them, but his views are much closer to those of the republicans (opposing abortion, pro-racism, genocidally zionist, etc) than to a typical voter so he'd never want to. And that was before his brain started leaking out his ears.

Wouldn't work. Just think about all the religious Trump supporters who think he's a "good christian man" in spite of his many obvious unchristian qualities. Their religion is downstream from their bigoted political views, and they don't care one bit about being called out as hypocrites.

On top of that, the media those types would consume would only ever use it to show dems in a negative light. You have to dismantle that entire media apparatus first, which means mass arrests, targeted assassinations, political purges, and, the biggest issue for the dems, not respecting the private property of fascist billionaires.

When did we even get pikmin emojis?

 

Only 4p, sadly, because one guy dropped out to go on a date (valid, but incorrect). Rather short game, ending on turn 5, after ~6 hours (with meal break). Disregard the flipped over objective cards, we just wanted to see what they were post-game.

HS1 is Sol, HS2 is Xxcha, HS3 is Hacan, HS4 is Ghosts of Creuss:

Winner was the Federation of Sol, played by yours truly, because the others more or less forced me onto Mecatol Rex and once in position my ability to drop in infantry squads made me impossible to shift. Also got very lucky with my secret objectives lining up with the publics (2 unit upgrades + 2 faction upgrades, which are the same for Sol, and own 4 planets of any color + own 4 Blue). They let me score Imperial twice which is way too many. Nobody made an attempt to dislodge me until Turn 5, too worried they'd be backstabbed, which, in fairness, was probably accurate for every player but the Xxcha. EDIT: Sol has a rep as being overpowered, so we nerfed it by reducing its starting fleet by 1 carrier. This did not seem to be enough, and it is now on the ban list, along with Jol-Nar.

Ghosts in second with 7 points because both other players gave him Support points in exchange for him suiciding into my invincible army on Mec Rex (not knowing that the game was already over unless they took my home system). This player is generally the weakest in the group, and failed to secure their slice until way too late, leaving them with little to do.

Hacan and Xxcha in third with 4 apiece. Hacan didn't really do much interesting, just spent infinite money to build up a giant fleet but that was no help with invasions, and was too late anyway. Xxcha built a fucking wall of PDS (6 total in a ring around Mec Rex, plus the flagship for 8), which prevented me from reinforcing with ships, but I think made taking it too dangerous for anyone else to consider. He also really fucked over Hacan early, blocking his movement with a cruiser move T1 onto tile 27.

 

This zoomed, in it's pretty easy to tell that all the fabric needs more blending, but this was a nice break from the rest of my army's usual white and grey-blue color scheme. Sadly some of her fingers on the right hand snapped off in transit and I was never able to reattach them. Even so, I'm generally proud of this one.

Base is transparent crackle paint over a blue basecoat, then drybrushed with grey->white grey->white to get an icy look.

RIP Astropaths ever being used in 10th, Nightshroud was too funny against Custodes. Mini is Astro Witch, by Victoria Miniatures.

Technically it was done a while ago, but now there's a comm for it! The hull gun on the front is magnetized and can be swapped out for a laser, and the sides are magnetized as well so I can put sponsons on if I ever get around to having some 3d printed. The turret-hull connection is just a giant circular hole so it pops off real easy and I have taken to blu-tacking it in place for transport/games.

The actual name for the model is "Mars Alpha Leman Russ Incinerator", and I run it as an Executioner in 40k.

Behold, the warm glowing warming glow of the turret gun (which I'm still not really happy with even after like 10 revisions):

The last thing space fascists see before being run over:
