TBH, it's kinda stupid.

Good catch on the impact font.

Add something that mentions 9GAG. Then we'll really be rustling some jimmies.

What do you want it say?

It's a sad cat. It's obviously going to spout something uneducated and absurd.

Instead of being goattle, we must become what all cat memes have become.  We have to achieve satire, the highest form of comedy. I recommend this caption.

I did it. I gave in and now I feel like shit. I told myself I'd never watch those damn prodigies playing their Chopin to the note, and here I am, complaining on the internet on it. I'm self-indulging, whiny, and a generally loathsome person now. They have natural talent, a talent that they continually improve on. It doesn't affect me for anything.

I know this is a rant, but I need to vent before I watch more videos.
As that old adage goes: "Remember, no matter how good you are at whatever you do, there will always be some Asian kid out there who does it better."

Welp.

My first seige, starting at 4 enemies, was nothing.

I have not significantly improved my military, and have just faced a 60-odd goblin seige, sustaining 20 casualties. These dwarves died because I forgot which lever was which. Let this be a lesson to you.

And the lesson is, use "N: Points/Routes/Notes" to label each of your levers.

Note taken. ayooooo

Luckily (?) my game crashed, so now I can better reroute my soldiers instead of putting all my hope into pulling levers.

Fan-translated (or even officially translated) stories are always a bit of a crapshoot, because you are wagering on not only the author's skill as a writer, but the translator's skill as a writer as well. I can think of several examples where excellent stories in their native language have been turned into absolute garbage due to bad translation. :P

Wait, translators write too? I thought that the translator handed off the translated script to another writer.

Naïve of me, I know.

This is older than the war on drugs. Even slavery in prisons is explicitly allowed in the US constitution.

Quote from: the 13th amendment
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

Kind of branching off of that part, how far can interpretations by the Supreme Court go? Is the constitution extremely malleable in the sense that XIII could be somewhat dismissed? Or will that have to be outrightly amended?

This is the problem, though most actually good people I know of say that's not true outside the highest levels.

I know how to play chess and I have a basic grasp of tactics, it's just the sheer volume of information you need to know.  It's like, getting into starcraft is hard now cause the game's matured for like 15 years and best moves for most situations have been mapped out and if you don't know them you'll get rekt.

Chess is like that but it's matured for hundreds of years.

This is pretty true. I can generally beat my brother handily at any given strategy/tactics computer game, assuming it's balanced (Hun rush opplsnerf). In chess, I'll lose every time and he won't even break a sweat; because he actually cares about chess and has memorised openings and stuff, while I care more about the other games and know the meta.

I feel like it's hardly even a game anymore, once people start metagaming on that level. If the majority of players are just running memorized strategies by rote, what have they really got there? It speaks of a love of winning, rather than a love of the game.

If you can perform an intricate strategy perfectly, then you're not playing against good enough people.

EDIT: Weird wording.

I mean, the most obvious example, a direct nuclear strike, would kill you within microseconds of detonation. Your conscious mind couldn't react fast enough to notice what was happening before you, and every solid thing within a large area, became high-velocity vapor heated to several times the sun's surface temperature. You'd probably see the flash, though.
Anywhere outside that direct radius, you die slowly. Perhaps even melting.
Immediate radiation death would be tolerably quick

Immediate radiation death wasn't what I meant, perhaps me saying 'anywhere' was too general a statement.
