I started watching ER and the constant bombardment of AIDS messaging and storylines was tiresome. Really drove home how shit Reagan and Bush were dealing with the crisis.

they want the aesthetics of failure but not the reality of it

Or Austria. Hitler was an Austrian, and if you were going to pin the blame for the holocaust on one guy theres only so far up the chain you can go without Austria being a huge enabler of Hitler.

Valheim is definitely a game I loved, but man there is still a lot of jank to it that I just cannot stand to bear any longer. All the jank is bearable up until the mistlands and then I just cant deal with the floaty combat, dying destroying hours of skill grinding, inventory space being so limited, and the procedural generation putting some stuff in ridiculous places. All of it leads to pretty poor single player experience (at that point), where it feels like having other players with you is a downright necessity.

But as you stated mods do fix quite a lot of what is broken or should really just be in the game to begin with.

I think you've done good, and I think at least most of us have been in a similar position as you or even in the position of your liberal friend. Most people however dont change their minds on a dime especially when theyve invested so much of themselves into a position and defined themselves by that position. Unless your friend continues to surround himself in the media and refuses to think about what you said, how you got him to think, then that seed of an idea you planted will take root, and it will bear fruit, just not for a while.

It also seems like your friend is operating under some form of chauvinism e.g. American Exceptionalism, so in any future conversations with your friend I'd maybe do some research on arguments against this, Parenti in Blackshirts and Reds helped stamp out the last of that for me.

yeah theres just way too many forces making the jihad happen, maybe, Paul could avoid the conflict if he was the kwisatz earlier and could see more of the future, but by the time everything happens its just going to result in the deaths of billions.
