    Everyone who wants to post about how paradox games are boring just agree with this post instead. Because you're right but we've done it enough.

    Why wouldn't aliens be mammals? I bet many types of life evolved in conditions similar to ours.

    I... um... that seems off by at least an order of magnitude unless I've been misled and NYC is actually a giant cruise ship

    The aliens being mammals and having huge titties and an hourglass waist is simply proof of our divine creator.

    what if the alien boobs aren't like human boobs so they aren't mammals they just like boobs

    Another cause of concern for the censors was that Marion was shown flushing a toilet, with its contents (torn-up note paper) fully visible. No flushing toilet had appeared in mainstream film and television in the United States at that time.

    reading the wiki entries for old movies is wild

    So I was doing a CK2 update post in the last thread only to realize that my draft got deleted, so quick recap (honestly probably better this way)

    Map current as of 869AD
    htzgmvrynjnh.jpg

    - I started as a Welsh duke in 769, and just kind of took it easy, uniting Wales (Brythoniaid) and marrying into Irish lands
    - Vikings, Umayyads, and Abbasids blob out as usual
    - Vikings temporarily unite as Sweden (Svíþjóð) and conquer Scotland (Pictland), prepare to invade me
    - My vassal merchant republic helps me get a ridiculous 15g/mo, allowing me to easily defend against them with mercs and counter-invade, taking a chunk of Pictish land
    - Aztecs land out of nowhere, taking over north Africa with a 2nd Aztec fleet landing into Aquitaine (imagine being a Occitan vintner and being taken over by the Umayyads then the Aztecs within like, a decade of each other)

    Right now I'm really hoping that I get to convert to Aztec Nahua or Norse Germanic by the end of the game

    Aliens would have boobs because 'Martian Mammaries' is alliterative. It just fits too well to not be true.

    Mumbai, India Population density: 76,790 per square mi
    appears to be the densest

    so well under half

    I wish paradox tutorials weren't such piping hot garbage

    I played halfway through a portugal game in EU4 before sighing heavily and watching a youtube explainer on how trade, actually, like, works

    I booted up CK2 with an intent to learn it this time, goddamn it, and I got halfway through a gnomic, incomplete tutorial and then just peaced out

    Paradox games are sandboxes where a drunk neighbor will occasionally stop by and burn down your house with no explanation as far as I can tell

    boobs are just a diversion from the hottest body part: The sternum.
