  • I’ve often referred to Trump as Stupid Caesar.

    Like Caesar, Trump pushed up against established political norms and found very little pushback. As it turns out, having it be up for debate whether a leader is legally responsible for crimes committed is not a stable foundation for a nation.

    The only difference is, Trump did not wait to build up his base not just in the electorate but also among other political figures before pushing as hard as he did. The whole drinking bleach and shining a light to cure Covid probably didn’t help.

    Also I’m pretty certain Caesar wasn’t borderline illiterate. If we look up any of Caesar’s speeches recorded by even his most ardent opponents and compare them to Trump’s, there’s a bit of a difference there.

    Anyway the point is, both of these men did nothing except expose the flaws in the system, and so long as we do nothing to fix said flaws, is there anything stopping a more competent modern-day Caesar from finishing what Trump started?





  • This is how I feel about LTT too. There should never be one single location you go to for all your review needs - even if it had every single product in existence in for review.

    I’ll look at LTT videos to see people doing dumb shit with tens of thousands of Britannian Monies worth of tech, sometimes there’s some genuinely good “hey, this exists” (see: PowerToys which gave me Spotlight on Windows), and sometimes it triggers a “hey I could use X, I’ll do my own research and collation of reviews”.

    If they can get their Labs up and running and their tests being transparent enough that they can be peer reviewed, then Labs will be a tool in the toolbox, not the toolbox itself.





  • If it’s your first play through, do the campaign, as you’ll never need to do it again. You can also do all Altars of Lilith (there’s map tools online to help you find them) as you also won’t have to do that again.

    The consensus is that you should save side quests for WT4 at 70+ since pre season 1 EXP at that level was hard to come by. It’s only in WT4 you can do the last tier of renown anyway, so no point in doing the grind sooner than that.
