I think I should go the hospital, I've spent half an hour filling this space with pure fucking rage towards Stellaris, the aneurysm has clearly busted every blood vessel in my brain. Holy fuck I can't handle the bad parts of this game anymore.

Relax and stop playing the game for a bit. Do something else to calm down and chill for a bit.

Ooooh boy, let me tell you folks, the HRE sure does not fucking like it when you subjugate Brandenburg. That CB was a trap. And Prussian troops sure as shit ain't space marines in 1470.

You know what the worst part about it is? It's such a good start. Playing as a Post-Apocalyptic empire, I got the Ketling systems. Even though the run is plagued with the worst diplomacy I've ever seen in this game, the territory I have claimed (and will claim) is downright wonderful.

I feel like this mod should check if there are any heathen religions left in Baltic region, because I'm not sure if it makes sense for Teutonic Knights to spawn if Northern/North Eastern Europe is already Christianised.

You know, I think I need to forgive Stellaris for the amount of gamer rage I directed at it yesterday. Fanatic Materialists attacking each other for absolutely no reason was definitely a tilting thing to see, but it was only the thing that sent me over the edge.

I think the pure, seething fury that emanated from yesterday's Wordle was really where it all came from. I had to deal with that rage boiling under the skin the entire day, it was the thing that stoked the fire in the first place.

One week. One singular week. I am very ready to enjoy the most anticipated game in all of history while it gets review-bombed by raging nerds who think moving pieces around a board makes them master tacticians.

Revisited my Hannover game and Austria both helped and tried to screw me over by giving me a Saxon province in a war I helped them with but it also gave me a lot of AE and pissed off a lot of the HRE, thankfully they were too scared to actually try to coalition me. Does the AI take AE into account when rewarding provinces to the player?

I don't think they do? But honestly it'd be a lot funny if they added it into the programming where the war leader might give you too much land and thus too much AE if they don't like you or consider you a potential threat and then they lead the new Coalition against you.

Look at it this way; if it's good at launch, it's good and you can buy it. If it's not good, we get to watch people lose their minds.

Either way, it's a win-win.

I do not understand. How have you not given your life and loyalty to the Great Lady Victoria? Only through devotion can you be saved. It is through her teachings that I've learned that you're either the colonizer or the colonized. Make your decision soon, Huskar, or that choice will be made for you.
