Already pre-purchased it. Want to find someone to play with, but considering the fact I'm in China I can't but worry about the latency.

Yet not rolled up far enough to give Bolivia access to the sea. Cruel :')
Not American (anymore), thanks though.
Actually stumbled up on that one. Got really weirded out by it being read in that accent.
I could give it another try. What did you think of it?
My family situation is the complete opposite of yours. I didn't become a socialist because of my family situation, but rather despite of it. Even though my family are literal fascists, I don't really have right-wing friends as I made the pleasant mistake of deciding to make friends with non-native looking people. Once you hang out with one person of colour it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Friends that have even a single racist bone in their body will soon try to create distance between the both of you when they find out that "you inviting that black/brown fellah" is a common occurrence. I'm not suggesting all right-wingers are racist, but if those two ven diagrams overlap quite a lot. Sadly most of these "other people" not wanting to hang out with us mostly happened with other ex-pats white (or Chinese natives) in China, though that might have to do with it being a lot easier to make new friends in ex-pat communities.
One of them literally spent a few months with me in China. The other, while not a good friend, I did enjoy a few dinners and hours commuting with. Knowing that a person is disgusted by you to a point where they'd rather just forget the many many hours you've spent together all because of a propaganda campaign launched by a doomsday cult in collaboration with the US government really puts things in perspective.
I have the feeling that if I lived through the worst of McCarthyism these same people would have me handed over to the central authorities, or worse if I lived in Indonesia during their genocide campaigns they'd personally take me to the beach, plant me face first in the sand and put a bullet through my head. What propaganda can do to people never fails to surprise me.
I like picking up stuff, and being in China playing with Europeans means it takes me around 20 seconds to get the loot window to open... ๐ข
