ccabega.bsky.social @ccabega.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Yeah, an assassination would be very bad and presumably trigger political violence, but we’ve had presidents shot before and came through okay. But a military coup? That is a kind of toothpaste that we should dearly wish remains in the tube. 020
ccabega.bsky.social @ccabega.bsky.social · 17/09/2026To inject more sci-fi, you could spin that into humans being easier to modify with cybernetics, bio-augs, etc. than aliens. 281
ccabega.bsky.social @ccabega.bsky.social · 03/09/2026What might a military fit for all the other wars look like? 100
ccabega.bsky.social @ccabega.bsky.social · 19/08/2026This is a misleading frame. The agencies overseeing health have a smaller budget than DOD, but the Medicare/Medicaid budget alone exceeds defense spending by about two hundred billion. 160
ccabega.bsky.social @ccabega.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Care to elaborate/complain more? As a layman, the steam catapults thing is obviously moronic, and I’ve heard how insisting on no changes during production is dumb, but I have no clue how to judge the Finland Model and submarine industrial stuff. 100
ccabega.bsky.social @ccabega.bsky.social · 25/07/2026The Endless may or may not be older than the Forerunners. It’s not specified. 130
ccabega.bsky.social @ccabega.bsky.social · 09/05/2026Nah, Chief really is the quiet professional that we used to talk about. Some S-IVs might do that, though. 090
ccabega.bsky.social @ccabega.bsky.social · 02/05/2026Perhaps we could reserve judgment until the CE remake actually comes out. 000
ccabega.bsky.social @ccabega.bsky.social · 25/04/2026This is what got me into Cyberpunk 2077’s photomode. Curious how one could make an aura farming ability in first-person, though. 020
ccabega.bsky.social @ccabega.bsky.social · 15/04/2026I’ve been loving Cyberpunk 2077 and that is precisely one of my complaints. I don’t want to throw away my gun every few levels; I want to choose one and invest in it until everyone at the Afterlife knows it’s mine. 010
ccabega.bsky.social @ccabega.bsky.social · 02/03/2026I think he doesn’t know the difference between a dirty bomb and a salted bomb. 010
ccabega.bsky.social @ccabega.bsky.social · 22/01/2026I played a Phantom Liberty gig about SovOil and a Brazilian spy yesterday. 110
ccabega.bsky.social @ccabega.bsky.social · 29/12/2025ME1 Renegade in particular feels like trying to pick fights with everyone, including your allies. 020
ccabega.bsky.social @ccabega.bsky.social · 24/12/2025Strange prejudices indeed— I see some putting-down of “drums & trumpets”, even in pro-MilHist parts of that thread. I may be missing their point, but even if you’re leaning hard into war-&-society I suspect it’s important to know how the campaigning was done. 000
ccabega.bsky.social @ccabega.bsky.social · 07/12/2025If you eventually do want to go into that, I would be curious to see some of the infantry small arms discourse. 100
ccabega.bsky.social @ccabega.bsky.social · 13/11/2025The Didact plot might have sufficed, except that it relies on new information conveyed entirely by a new character talking at you for five minutes over a moving PowerPoint. 030
ccabega.bsky.social @ccabega.bsky.social · 13/11/2025The Created have a similar issue, besides the poor execution in H5. Sapient AI rights and rampancy are an interesting question. Answering it does not lend itself to FPS gameplay. 020
ccabega.bsky.social @ccabega.bsky.social · 06/10/2025Hey, mortars showed up for one chapter in Last Light. They, uh, they were just offscreen for the past twelve games. 000
ccabega.bsky.social @ccabega.bsky.social · 06/10/2025From the moment I understood the weakness of my legs, they disgusted me. I longed for the strength and certainty of tracks. 1231
ccabega.bsky.social @ccabega.bsky.social · 20/09/2025I’m just happy to hear that you plan to do Halo at all. Very curious to hear your thoughts on how much EU stuff Halo has. We’ve all heard of tie-in novels for shooter games, but how many shooters have over 30 tie-in novels and counting? 000
ccabega.bsky.social @ccabega.bsky.social · 31/07/2025I so dislike Leontus’ presence as a tabletop character. Commanding your company+ in a 2000pt game is so astronomically not his job. The impression I get is it’s not even like Vahl where it’s acknowledged that she’s not doing her job; this is the actual Segmentum-level CO taking a captain’s job. 020
ccabega.bsky.social @ccabega.bsky.social · 10/06/2025Lowkey that screwed the whole sequel era. Everything else now had to sell a world in which the New Republic vanished overnight and the small revanchist First Order had a bigger superweapon than the Empire at its height. 010
ccabega.bsky.social @ccabega.bsky.social · 19/02/2025Who/what is that “to dissolve the people and elect another” quote from? It’s a pretty fire quote and I’d like to have a source in my back pocket. 100
ccabega.bsky.social @ccabega.bsky.social · 08/01/2025I’d read it. Now if only we got to see a damn battle for once… 000
