Whats a good entry level 4X game?

Better question, why can't you stop thinking about Americans?

Okay, you've got my attention. How weird does this get?

Say what you want about Israel and IDF, but it's such a fascinating melting pot.

It gets surprisingly bleak at places

Why is he externally monologuing instead of internally?

Endless Leg is the GOAT

Because Wilson is constantly talking to the fourth wall like he's narrating his life and philosophizing to some imaginary audience.

that's just how he is

Civ 2

It's their country now as well.

>"How are you?"
>"Fine, thanks. And you?"
>"Doing swell. See you around."

Its not hard

I don't think you know what patriot means.
If anything they are racial nationalists

>Having to remember all these responses instead of telling how it really is
That's why everything is so fucked up

More like why are they asking how are you if they dont want you to genuinely answer it.

Galactic civilization III

The same can be said for most Clowes's work DESU

Patience was fantastic

Wait is this that book that got a movie adaptation starring Woody Harleson?

It's just a way to say hello in passing. Nobody actually gives a shit how you're doing. Just say you're fine and move on with your life.

That games sucks, and you know it. One of shallowest games I've played. large as an ocean, deep as a puddle.

>renamon comic with the PRRRFFFFFFFFFT
Show me.

Then they shouldn't say it if the possibility of someone answering in a way they do not like is greater than 0%.

yeah - movie was very different from book. which is a shame, the book was a great template for a movie

I usually respond with "Hey there!", when they say "How are you?". It's better than just ignoring them, satisfies responding to and acknowledging them, the positive emotion in it shows I'm friendly, and it clearly doesn't inquire as to how they're doing, so I'm never wrapped up in stories about how some random person is doing.

They want you to say you're fine so they can continue lying to themselves that their bullshit existence is worth continuing. They dont want to hear the truth they just want to be reminded that if others can be happy while complacent they can too.

Haha wow how quirky!

I think it is

Haha

the most interesting guys I've met were in the military. Funny how that all works.

It's an interesting character study about an self-centered asshole that constantly switches from comedy to genuinely contemplative.

It's quite well known that american english is not actually english, phrases are very much different from what their actual english counterpart is.
For instance, friend does not actually mean friend instead it's some american gobbelygook. In your instance "how are you doing" means "My eyes see you today, you exist" socioculturally you are meant to return this call with a short and direct message to confirm you're not a communist trick and is in fact, dead.

infraredpilled

I don't know...

not true, I've heard plenty of European exchange students say that they way Americans make small talk with strangers makes them uncomfortable
maybe you just met the wrong people, some people will just stand and talk with you like an NPC for half an hour about 'this crazy weather'

>to confirm you're not a communist trick and is in fact, dead.
what did he mean by this

>early game, full of fun exploration and expansion
>middle game, discover that all the opponents are doing better than me
>late game, try to maintain 2nd or 3rd place in just one category while the AIs conquer the world
Every game I try, I just can't get the hang of it.

If you can get past Civilization 1's dated interface, you'll find a fairly straightforward 4X where straight up Blitzkrieging shit is a lot more effective than later titles.

Terrible writing.

For me it's
>early game, full of fun exploration and expansion
>mid to early-game, discover that all the opponents are doing better than me
>middle game, realise they really aren't doing better than me as my exponential economy growth kicks off
>late game, tedious chore of beating weak enemies trying to get the game to end already

How on Earth am I supposed to interpret this series of images

The only way this story makes sense is if you suffer from autism and missed what was actually happening.

After reading all of them posted before this, this one is actually funny. Its just like, after all that such a dry ass punch is actually funny.

Someone storytime this whiny faggots comic so I can laugh at him

>wah my mom is dead
>wah no one is as smart as I am
>wah Im so cool
>wag Im so alone

I loved this comic, but holy fuck it makes me want to die.

If you don't want to hear the truth, why ask?

>Why do Americans

Because you're supposed to be fine with empty platitudes.

Probably the only comic I've liked by this guy.
