It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

honestly I think a sequel (yes I know it will never happen) could fix so much of the problem here. Imagine if they do some crazy branching quest that remembers your save from the last game and if you did the communist path he's now read theory and isn't so worthless. (even without the IP controversy I'm sure that would be too complex for an indie studio or smthing let me dream)

Get out of my head, I was thinking exactly this not a few hours ago. I'm of two minds about a potential sequel, but if one ever materializes, this is precisely what I hope it is. You're probably right though, I doubt it'll happen like this, if at all.

i'm personally a fan of sequels that have only vague references to whatever they're following, but that's just me. I'd want the events of a sequel to happen decades or centuries later, with the events of the first game a footnote in a random history book somewhere. I like seeing long-term time spans

that could work in disco I think for sure, although really I think where it's needed to be used is more for continuing long epics/trilogies more often instead of "it's the main character's child!!!" cash grab stuff

Something easier to implement would be for the MC of the hypothetical sequel to meet Harry with corresponding dialogue changes for each political quest.

True, although like I said unlikely to happen unfortunately :/
