I’ve only seen a couple of western sources after some brief searching:

BBC: Why are Thailand and Cambodia fighting at the border?

AP: What’s behind the clash between Thailand and Cambodia that left at least 11 dead

Seems the issue has been simmering for quite a while now (Since the French ruined their borders, basically) but started to escalate after a Cambodian soldier was shot in May by Thai troops.

As of right now, Cambodia claims that the Thai military has occupied the Preah Vihear temple, which courts decided in 2013 belonged to Cambodia. There’s some other stuff about F-16s and landmines that this article goes into.

What, that gamers hate blond-haired twinks?

(I’ll have to watch this once I get a spare hour lol)

It’s like me back in math class, messing around on my calculator and trying to see how high I can get the numbers. Just silly and meaningless

True, but my thinking is that the Dems don’t do anything anyways, so they might as well vote to do the slightly-more-correct form of nothing. It’s not like they’re doing anything else with their time.

At least if they kept voting to impeach, then Fox News would spend more time crying about a “witchhunt” and less time spewing their anti-trans bullshit

I’m by no means a Vicky 3 expert, but most times I’ve found my economy exploding like that was usually due to the same few common issues:

1. My construction sector can’t afford the switch to new materials,
2. I changed the production for certain sectors all at the same time (e.g. switching to nitrate for farms, dynamite for mining all at once)
3. A loyal interest group just became disloyal, and I lost their bonus.
4. I was cut off from a trade group/sphere/whatever they’re called that I was relying on.

The way I’ve found to help combat this is by only ever tweaking the individual buildings one at a time at the state level, and never switching all at once. I also make ample use of subsidies to prop up basic industry such as forestry so that I can handle my own basic necessities. Finally, don’t be afraid of switching back to more basic modes in your buildings if they can’t get what they need. The important mid-game goal is to have a completely self-sufficient steelmaking process and to start churning out both engines and steel-frame buildings. As for diplomacy and warfare… I have no clue. I only ever play Vicky 3 like it’s a city builder lol.

Fair warning: I have no real clue how to progress or play optimally. The best I can manage with my limited knowledge of the game is to have my peasants well-fed and happy while still having a positive economy

"Bee movie but it speeds up every time they say ‘bee’ " is the gold standard for artistic attribution.

Me providing citations for my fanfiction like: “Gundam but I made it even gayer.”

So, uh… anyone else call dibs on piloting the pride mech?

F/A-18s are for responsible owners only. If you forget to put water in their bowl, they’re gonna get thirsty like this.

Thank fuck Remedy never decided to make a Max Payne (yes I know ACAB but I have a weakness for noir, it’s so good) remake because the janky graphics are part of it.

I really hate to be the one to say this, but Remedy has been working on a Max Payne 1 (and 2 I think) remake for a couple of years now. It’s their next big project supposedly.

The Chanter class in Pillars of Eternity has a boatload of summons that I loved to just spam.

Also if you stretch the “summoner” definition, I love watching my massive peasant army swarm all over the enemy in Mount and Blade Warband (and usually all die)

Yeah, like

and

Great success, fellow liberals!

Uncritical support for the upcoming Sentinelese invasion of Arizona. May their arrows strike down the foul influencer menace

To be fair those soda tabs are sometimes a real pain in the ass to get my finger under even as a soda-familiar westerner

When I think through political questions, I also consult the two voices inside my head (Lenin and Mao)

You forgot the apolitical classic Metal Gear

I wonder what they’re saying now

Mostly stuff like: “it’s just making people disagree with their movement!”

Who stops in the middle of their assassination to go to a public library and read the news? And upon reading said news, changes their plan and target?

We’re really dealing with some Level 1 Adventurers here. Starting zone shit

Meh. Hate when the news feels the need to report mundane, everyday occurrences.

If an F-35 actually flew, now that’d be newsworthy
