>Resources exist to be consumed. And consumed they will be, if not by this generation then by some future. By what right does this forgotten future seek to deny us our birthright? None I say! Let us take what is ours, chew and eat our fill.Was he right?
>>721885723It's funny how satire like this accurately represents modern day conservatives lol
If you kill your enemies with fungal blooms and rising sea levels and paid for planet busters, you can't really be wrong.
>>721885830That does not make any sense anon.
>>721885723resources do not exist to be consumed immediately, they exist to be managed. if all resources were burned in an instant, all would be lost.
>>721885830Are you talking about the voter base or the politicians?The former (predominantly) just have differing views on how society should be best structured, the latter wants those resources to go to Israel.>>721885881Neither does a Nation founded for White people and their progeny becoming the predominant multicultural society on the globe, but the longer you live the more you'll come to understand that life is just an absurd joke that isn't particularly funny.
>>721885723Human behavior is economic behavior
>>721885830SMAC doesn't deserve your low quality shit posting. It's a game for the ages and I demand you step up your game in baiting because it deserves nothing but the best.
>>721885881It's a joke character but he sounds exactly like actual right wing politicians.
>>721886104Do not disrespect me
>>721886089The particulars may vary, but competition for limited resources remains a constant. Need as well as greed have followed us to the stars, and the rewards of wealth still await those wise enough to recognize this deep thrumming of our common pulse.
>>721886104How about a good old "Miriam was right about everything"?
>>721885723He's like one of the only sane leaders in SMAC
>>721886132
>>721886140You disrespect yourself
>>721885723It's annoying how much the game pushes Diedre as the only correct choice to play
>>721886047>Are you talking about the voter base or the politicians?>The formerare predominantly baby boomers who have spent their entire lives destroying everything around them for their own pleasure like flesh eating bacteria. It's a very apt comparison by anon.
You know what? Given the opportunity myself, I'd do it all over again.
>>721885830mind worm fingers typed this
>>721887235This is fucked up
>>721885830Here's a quote more your speed
>>721886245Bro it's literally the ultracapitalist ideology representative and whilst SMAC does tend to be even-handed and nuanced, some of Morgan's lines are straight-up satire.
>>721888314In contrast to the communist bugman who runs a literal hive, or the nudist treehugger that fucks alien worms, or the S&M latina nazi warrior, or the ginger churchlady technophobe, or
>>721886047Shitposter hands typed your post.>>721888532Santiago isn't a Nazi or S&M.
>>721888532Or what? They all have satirical elements, yes
>>721888532>technophobeDelete this Miriam slander. Her early quotes are filled with optimism for technology; it's not her fault the people around her all used it for horrific things.
>>721888846>Santiago isn't a Nazi or S&M.The part about snapping a limb of a subordinate was clearly fetishistic, as is her portrait>>721888913You just said>whilst SMAC does tend to be even-handed and nuanced, some of Morgan's lines are straight-up satirfaggot>>721888920She is one of the more nuanced characters overall, but her persona, appearance, and quotes culminating in a Psi Gate mass suicide ritual, clearly are meant to project a fundamentalist Christian kind of vibe
>>721887152That would be the case irrespective of political alignment which is contrary to what he stated, unless you want to tell me that the liberal boomers that decided to flood America with non-Whites are based for some reason, but I digress.>>721888846I think you're just too irony poisoned.
>>721889294>You just saidYes? Where's the contradiction?
How is this game? Im in a bit of a mood for old turn based games.
>>721890397It's one of the best games ever made but has hoops to jump through if you aren't familiar with the Civ II interface. It isn't complicated or anything, but it's rather clunky if you want to do anything other than what the game auto recommends (don't).
>>721885723this mindset is unironically why africa is the way it is, the africans just lived in their warm paradise full of food instead of having to expand, and then when the people who did expand felt bad about colonialism and tried to build them stuff the africans just strip it for parts
We must dissent.
>>721890818>their warm paradiseWherever there was paradise in Africa, civilizations formed. But Central Africa is not a paradise like you retards always project. It is literal hell. It's actually so hard to survive in central africa you have pygmy tribes that never grow past 150cm due to chronic malnutrition, the tse-tse fly has for centuries literally prevented the keeping of domestic animals and there is a very good fucking reason why the Scramble for Africa didn't happen between WHITE people until the late XIXth century - because most of Africa is not a good place to live you dumb historically illiterate fuck.
>>721891146>you have pygmy tribes that never grow past 150cm due to chronic malnutritionWait till you learn how those pygmies came to be. They're one of the last vestiges of non-Bantu people in west and central Africa. Anyone who didn't hide in the most remote jungles was slaughtered.
>>721890397Gameplay's a little scuffed but the writing is fucking excellent
>Richard Baxton piloted his Recon Rover into a fungal vortex and held off four waves of mind worms, saving an entire colony. We immediately purchased his identity manifests and repackaged him into the Recon Rover Rick character with a multi-tiered media campaign: televids, touchbooks, holos, psi-tours-- the works. People need heroes>They don't need to know how he died clawing his eyes out, screaming for mercy. The real story would just hurt sales, and dampen the spirits of our customersMorgan Stellartots Keynote Speech, "Mythology for Profit"
>>721891146White people can make it a paradise. But niggers ruin it and cry about it so now they have nothing.
>>721888136>the worst thing Lal ever did was love his wife too much to let her goHe was too pure for this cruel world
>>721885723ayo fr
>>721886331Miriam is right if you don't fall for the transhumanist propaganda.
>>721890754Does it have climate change?
>>721895190Yes, and you can melt the polar ice caps and cause the sea levels to rise.
>>721895112instead you fall for religious propaganda
>>721891394>They don't need to know how he died clawing his eyes out, screaming for mercy.How would they know? Do they have surveillance on all their equipment?
He's 100% correct
We'll never agree on who the hero is.But we can all agree Santiago is the biggest bitch and villain of the series.
>>721885723>Nigga has no perspective of the futureWhy were they so racist?
>>721886043Managed for future consumption. He covered your ""argument"" in the initial statement.
>>721900994I'm pretty sure he's thinking that not using available resources as fast as possible IS lack of perspective of the future
>>721900142That's Diedre though.
Reminder that there is a trilogy of SMAC novels if you really can't get enough of the setting. I only have the first one though.
great idea for a 4X but cant stand ICS and how archaic everything is, especially the fact i cant see entire tech tree like in later civs (without a poster u got with a game)
>>721905660It's not like you can choose what to tech anyway. Just select a direction and be happy.
>>721905812i played with the setting where you could choose next tech
>>721888920Oh man, I generally played the ammoral techbro, but seeing a base named "Terrible Swift Sword" made me consider being a zealot every now and then.
>>721899772https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_recorder
>>721885723https://vocaroo.com/1euTsu9uIZ5bHe's right about everything.
>>721888920The great thing about SMAC's leaders is that they were all correct within the frame of their ideologies, but not only that, they were all based on common sense. Miriam doesn't believe technology is evil, but she sure as shit doesn't trust humanity to be responsible with it.Evil lurks in the datalinks as it lurked in the streets of yesteryear, but it was never the streets that were evil.
>>721906683i dunno man yang is pretty fucking evil
>>721905660>i cant see entire tech treeThat was the point, it was a deliberate design choice because you're dealing with what is (was at that point) future tech branching out non-linearly.
>Some would ask, how could a perfect God create a universe filled with so much that is evil. They have missed a greater conundrum: why would a perfect God create a universe at all? T.Miriam, "But for the Grace of God"
>>721906917He is correct though, if you want the race to survive, you have to think and plan in survivalist's terms. His problem, like everyone else, is that he takes it to unreasonable extremes. Only the Peacekeepers are moderate as a faction.
>>721906917Ha ha very funny. Now into the recycling tank you go.
>>721906917His end game is the best though iirc, even from conventional standpoint
>>721907081Isn't taking the moderate viewpoint in a world surrounded by equally powerful ideological extremists itself extreme?
>>721906942pretty sure it was just technical limitations of that time, they gave tech tree poster with the game
>>721907507No, because the Peacekeepers are the only ones adhering to the original mission parameters set forth by the UN charter. They didn't adopt the moderate position as a response.
>"Learn to overcome the crass demands of flesh and bone, for they warp the matrix through which we perceive the world. Extend your awareness outward, beyond the self of body, to embrace the self of group and the self of humanity. The goals of the group and the greater race are transcendent, and to embrace them is to achieve enlightenment."– Chairman Sheng-ji Yang, "Essays on Mind and Matter"
>>721900142Dierdre unironically set mind worms loose on civilian populations, considering the tech that indicates she took out the Spartans comes long after the Children's Creche technology, the children were amongst the first to die. Though that's questionable since the Spartan's got the Cloning secret project before that, so you could say there weren't any children left by the time Dierdre got through with them.
>>721891339You can do a patrol glitch with Deirdre and mind worms to get what's effectively "Modern Armor" in the first 10 turns. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_PxlRn4SCU&t=259s
hope you people play with PlotinusRedux's GUI and Thinker mod
>>721909097Do SMAC mods work on Linux?
>>721899935GET IN THE TANK
i wish deidre would set her mind worms on me
