  • Given how they also are making it harder for foreign intelligentsia to make their way to the States (despite the brief soyrage months back over Trump supposedly “importing” educated Indian workers en masse), I’m curious where the American Right thinks their country’s scientific base comes from. Trump is no less vocal than Biden about supposedly wanting to retake America’s unquestioned global dominance but whereas Biden’s policies at least salved the US’s decline, Trump’s policies are accelerating it.

    Of course, it’s more likely that the bourgeoisie in general see the writing in the wall for America’s place in the world and are simply strip-mining the place for all its worth. Dems simply think it should be a more calm, measured operation while Reps want to be frantic about it while doubling down on immigration and culture war issues.


















  • A lot more emphasis on crew. They’re easier to acquire but also more fragile and prone to dying if you’re not careful.

    Runs are still centered around defeating a final boss but the game is a lot more freeform/customizable and less punishing overall, at least on Torment 1 (compared to the “easiest” difficulty in FTL). You need to make your way to the final “ship” but there’s less pressure since you aren’t being hunted down by a pursuing fleet like in FTL.

    This isn’t to say Void War “beats” FTL nor does it need to. It just has its own identity which I found refreshing as opposed to just playing another copy.
