Giving it a replay on realistic mode, it's good fun! I like not fast traveling, and having to figure out where you are by actually reading the map is fun.

It has its jank, and the silly macho-vibes suck, but it's a really interesting and unique game. Try to lean into its oddities, they actually work quite well when you give them a chance. The saviour schnapps saving system is not that punishing, but it does mean you either have to commit your early economy to saving/stealing schnapps or accept that you will fail quests and die in combat without being able to quickly reload a recent save.

Ultimately, I enjoy games that force me to take failure seriously, but that's a matter of taste. It does make riding through the woods pretty intense with the threat of getting ambushed.

Try to use the combat skills you've unlocked instead of spamming thrust.

General combat advice:

• Train your battle skills with Bernard(?) at the training ground. Both to get some XP and to learn some important moves other than spamming thrust.
• Master stroke (?) is a really useful riposte move which will make things a lot easier.
• In general, avoid taking on more than one opponent until you're well-armored
• Use the right weapon, ideally a type you've both trained with and which is effective against your type of foe, e.g. warhammer for armoured foes.

Like who?

Sure, nothing wrong with the abstract concept, but this meme is explicitly directed at the "mommy" version.

Which does have some much wilder implications than nurse/maid stuff, you must admit. Such as the implication of someone wanting to fuck their mom.

But... Why does it have to be a mom-thing? Can't the woman you're presumably having sex with inhabit a non-mom pampering role?

Arguably what Russia seeks is not territory, but to destabilise the Ukraine government and re-establish a puppet state.

Which would mean both sides lose on this deal.

(Not saying it's a good deal.)

As in they're living better than in a welfare state? Or that they're living in a "welfare state" and having a worse time than i.e. Americans?

My reference of a successful welfare state would be Scandinavia.

Jeg er gået i gang med HiFi rush, et slags rytme-kampspil, og det er ret lækkert. Meget imponeret over hvordan de integrerer rytmen i alle elementer, og hvor lækkert soundtracket er.

Så desuden Companion i biffen, en grineren popcornsgnasker med lækker produktion. Kan anbefales, lad være med at læse om den først.

If we're working in the purely abstract, the welfare state is not necessarily ideal, but is there another currently implemented state ideology which serves its workers better? I.e. what would you compare it with which defeats it?

Which is the better embodiment of socialism:

• Means of production are collectively owned, but the the moneyed elite is somehow still accumulating power and wealth while the working class suffers
• Means of production are not collectively owned, but the moneyed elite is somehow gone, and wealth and power are in the hands of the workers, who ensure that the creation of wealth benefits all

Not saying a welfare state is #2, but I'm interested to hear if #1 is a better socialist state.

Owning the means of production is a means, not an end in itself. I'd argue the social democratic welfare state comes impressively close to achieving the ends.
