Ya, by that logic oil is solar energy too because the ancient algae photosynthesized to grow before it died and was converted into oil. Ridiculous! Nuclear energy is solar because the uranium was formed in a supernova!

This is a wild flattening of history and an insane level of whataboutism. Absolutely not. This is neither accurate nor ethical to normalize one of the most brutal chattel slavery systems in history and imply that it is the same as what any other civilization did. To draw direct comparison to their neighbors, where the Spartans would routinely murder their slaves in cold blood and had the practice enshrined in law, the Achaemenid Persians practiced something much more akin to modern prison labor; Still a morally dubious practice as best but not even close to the deeply evil things the Spartans were doing.

As well they should have! The spartan society was built on slavery. And not just regular slavery but some of the most brutal slavery in history. The only thing Xerxes did wrong was not kill enough Spartans.

Pug Jesus is often based imho

They love John Brown for example!

I’ve licked a few too and am also alive. I suspect that they are deadly and that you and I are the only two who are immune to it.

angry John Brown noises

The arena thing took like 2.5 years start to finish, not a few weeks. Also with how many millions they spent on advertising and paying union guys to sit in city council I’d be shocked if they didn’t actually want to build in Chinatown.

I want to watch him lose a second time

Lol and he still lost

Hell yeah Persian empire! Let’s fucking goooooooo!!!

Butt is legs

Huh, I guess he probably did kill a minion in that fiction then. I’ll be.

Why?

The Haitian revolutionary leader killed a little yellow guy wearing overalls?

I will say that new XCOM can be good at that too. It really is the most important part and I’m glad they didn’t leave it out of the remake!

OG XCOM has a really rough learning curve for sure. It is easy to understand the fundamentals of but it takes a lot longer to get it well enough to really enjoy. Once you do learn it I feel like it is different enough from new XCOM that you can enjoy both. I love new and old xcoms a ton.

I actually really like OG Dooms just as much as the new ones. I didn’t play either until just a few years ago so no nostalgia. They are very different and so I don’t feel like they step on each other’s toes too much.
