    I think she means using vanilla USSR as a practice run? That's what I did!

    Hearts of Iron IV Thread

    I'm not an expert, but it isn't... impossible? Vanilla is probably harder than most of the mods, but its an okay place to start - the tutorial is kinda trash, but playing a game as the USSR or Germany should teach you. I mostly suggest... committing? It's generally best to go deep rather than...

    Hearts of Iron IV Thread

    There's a general strategy thread, but it's dead, so I'll be making a new one! I've been playing a lot of HoI4 recently; vanilla for the last week or so, but The New Order and Equestria at War in the main. I wondered if anyone else has played any recently?

    The Masque of Black Harren (ASOIAF/The Masque of the Red Death)

    Dragonstone, the outpost at the edge of the Valyrian world, had stood empty for 77 years; the garrison had joined Aurion when he marched into Valyria and oblivion. Fisherfolk from Driftmark would sometimes have need to take shelter from a storm there, but they never dared enter the keep, nor did...

    A Knight and Her Lady (ASOIAF)

    Thoughts on Contrapoints?

    I don't super love some of the stuff she says, but she's a useful gateway, I suppose. I just wish she wasn't treated as the be all and end all of trans discourse, because I disagree with some of her more prominent rhetoric.

    Anarcho-Satanism

    I have a great deal of time for promethean deities, conceptually (IDK if that's the right term?). Certainly, more than I do for gods of the more authoritative variety that dominate most religions. I don't really know enough about either satanism or anarchism, philosophically, to have much to...
