  • They see politics as being a scale from left to right, 1 to 100. Individuals may have any value in that scale and they’ll vote for whoever has a closer value. So if Republicans are 80, Dems move up to 79 so that they’ll be the closest to anything left of 80. If Republicans go up to 100, Dems go up to 99 and then 99% of people will vote Dem as even someone with a value of 1 will see them as the closest party. It’s an incredible and flawless plan. Who cares about the actual politics so long as you win, right?

    Now if there were a third party, then suddenly going as close to Republicans as possible is no longer a good strategy because the third party can just do the same with them - so they have to find a new balance in that scale. Add even more parties and then each one would have to find its own thing to fight for or they would get absolutely no votes.









  • This image gave birth to an additional meme in Brazil because instead of the “see my pussy” text the translated version had “Do you think you have what it takes to smash my rat?” but written in a way that to us sounded somewhat like what “Doth thou thinkest thou haveth…” would sound to an American.



  • I want to answer Xenogears because of all of its story and storytelling, but the worldbuilding itself is kinda standard, if not for the scope of it. You do end up learning about pretty much everything there is to learn - the world and its history, the characters and what moves them, the politics, the conflicts, the geography, the physics, the religions, the supernatural, the origins of mankind - not to mention a full class on philosophy. And then whatever question you still have left, there’s a book about it in addition to the game.

    And you start with a classic amnesiac character in a small village.
