New dev diary just dropped. Probably not worth making a new thread, but /vst/ is slow enough that whatever thread dies deserved it.We sacrificed the stars in order to take care of niggers :^)https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1670650/view/3220648172697421193
>>1055810If this game does even a third of what it's promising to do, it will be the Holy Grail of grand strategy games.
>The space industry is currently worth 420 billion dollars, ten times more than the movie industry which is rather generously represented in the game (directors, actors, Hollywood as a special sector).what kino are you guys gonna fund in your game?
>>1055931The Moon Landing
>>1055931accurate documentaries about how Saddam Hussain is God's chosen
This game promises so many things I want, but I have no faith that it'll deliver even half of them. I want them to prove me wrong, but I've seen these sort of ambitious projects before.
>>1055810>CIA and KGB fighting on the moonPlease, god. I want this so badly.
>We sacrificed the stars in order to take care of niggers :^)
>>1056484We stopped funding space stuff because of shit like picrel. Don't deny it.It was multiple times cheaper to rebuild Europe post-WWII than it was to keep Africa running post-colonialism, not to mention all that the USA has spent on welfare for the perpetual underclass that is its African Diaspora population.I did some inflation adjustments and we could have funded a fucking space colony with the money we spent on both actual Africans and African-Americans.
>>1056673>money we spent on both actual AfricansWhat a brainlet take. Countries that give money to Africa earn tenfold on it in cheap resources and as market outlets. Do you seriously think the political-financial systems of the world are some sort of a fucking charity? I can't believe I'm siding with a Robbie here, but your take is just as shit.
>>1056708>Countries that give money to Africa earn tenfold on it in cheap resources and as market outletsnope, leftie nonsense. the truth of the matter is that africa is not exporting much at all, and what it does export it is paid for fairly
>>1056712>africa is not exporting much at all>he says while wearing a cotton shirt, sipping on coffee with sugar, using a computer made from rare earth elementslmao>leftieLMAO>fairlyLMAOOO, you think I give a shit if it's fair?
>>1056718wouldn't be much simpler and cheaper to extract the resources without taking care of the natives ? africa has gone from 100 millions in 1900 to 1,4 billion today ? that's a lot of useless eaters
>>1056712>leftieno one except demented gen x losers says "leftie". embarrassing that you're here
>I did some inflation adjustments and we could have funded a fucking space colony with the money we spent on both actual Africans and African-Americans.
>>1056724>wouldn't be much simpler and cheaper to extract the resources without taking care of the natives ?Yes instead of building niggers a well so that they don't die next dry spell and paying them 3 dollars a month, it would be much cheaper and simpler to just transport white people half a world, create livable living conditions for them, convince them to migrate to Malaria Coast when they have better job opportunities at home and defend them from the locals. You're so dumb it's astounding.
>>1056708>Countries that give money to Africa earn tenfold on it in cheap resources and as market outlets.The world has spent the equivalent of twenty Marshall Plans on Africa. It's still 90% shithole and hasn't repaid a fucking penny's worth of what's been dumped into it.>t. Actually lived in Tanzania and Zaire growing up so fuck your rose tinted glasses you retarded leftist asshole
>>1056743Yeah you're right, the idea of white people going around the world colonizing countries and exploiting resources themselves is totally unheard of in History
>>1056749>>1056724electionfag redditspacing lol>>1056744nice larp retard
Why does Africa trigger strategy gamers so much? Ok, I get it you're racist. That's cool. But your incompetent economical ""analysis"" is unneeded. Like, bruh. Cite some sources or something.
>>1056744>It's still 90% shitholeYes, nobody cares, not me, not people who donated the money. Maybe you misunderstood, and think I'm implying that the goal of all this money for schools was to actually build schools? No, it was meant to afford local warlord some weapons so that he stays loyal to America or China and is not replaced by one loyal to Soviets or France. Or at least doesn't start a genocide so that bananas keep coming to European grocery stores.>and hasn't repaid a fucking penny's worth of what's been dumped into it>t. Actually lived in Tanzania and Zaire growing upAnd? What does that have to do with anything? If you have been a cotton trader that's been trading since decolonization ended, your opinion would matter.>leftistEx-fucking-dee>>1056749>wouldn't it be cheaper and easier>but white people sometimes colonizedAt this point it's not goalpost moving, it's outright goalpost changing.
>>1056770t. american nigger
>>1055810>>1056673>>1056712I blame it more on the cult of midwits that make snarky 90IQ takes about how much space is a waste of time on their phone that wouldn't exist without technology discovered during the space race.
>>1056781
>>1056708So we spent billions upon billions to get coltan mined by literal children with pickaxes and shovels... and some place to dump shirts for losing sports teams.
>>1056835What a sane world view.
>>1056835Yes. And still turned a profit on it. Today more people work in DR Congo's mines than were living in it in 1945.
>>1056741Okay, try the clinical term then, “faggot homosexual”
>>1056770Its one tranny autist, you can identify him by the keyword "useless eater" whenever there is a similar thread.
>>1056937>trannyNo.>autistYes. Excuse me for not wanting us to all die on a poisonous hellhole of a world because we thought it'd be a great idea to waste resources on babysitting the trash of the species and creating useless plastic garbage to use and then throw away.
>>1056949>Want resources of Africa>Throw money at Africa so the population exponentially increases>More workers harvesting more shit equal more $$$You're fucking retarded if you think the west just aids Africa to "babysit" them out of the goodness of their bleeding hearts. It's the same thing that China does, only China is honest about it. It's objectively a great plan too; there is infinitely more wealth in the world then there was prior to decolonization. Maybe not for you; but nobody gives a shit about you or spreading your faggot genes across the stars.
>>1056770It's just retarded napkin math. They look at the value of 300 billion in grain or medicine etc and think the government has the power to command those companies to make fantasy jet fuel instead or something. A more compelling argument would be "why are we paying for food and healthcare in x country instead of here" but that would involve giving food and safety to American blacks too so that's not okay lol
>>1056949You were always going to die on this shithole anyway. You're not rich or important enough to escape. Nothing your foaming at the mouth about would have changed that.
>>1057210>>1057136>>1057057How fucking spastic do you niggers have to be to shit up a thread after two posts before you already did the same?

>>1056708Damn you are either stupid or live on some fantasy planet.Post WW2 western charity is the only reason there are so many Africans these days.
>>1058650That's the point, you fucking moron. Refer to >>1057057 and >>1056902I hope this game does decolonization justice so all you white niggers can learn something instead of spouting your nonsense here.

>>1058794>retard gets an answer for every single retard point he's trying to make>n-no you got destroyed and are pretending you aren'tNice projection, retard. Here's some homework for you. Look up how hard is it to further increase crop production in cramped South America and India, and compare it with how easy it is to do so in still unexploited Africa.

>>1058937They said it all over the thread.
>>1058892>>heh, I can't even disprove any of your claims but you got destroyed kiddoYour claims so far are "You're retarded" and "LOL, LMAO, LMFAO". Then when you get called out on it you resort to ad hominens.
>>1056742No need for inflation adjustments, niggers are just a sinkhole for money
Also, western "investment" in Africa seems to have fucked over the entire continent >send food aid to Africa>local farmers are undercut by literal free food>shut down their farms>doesn't solve the root causes of hunger in the first place and encourages dysgenic breeding so you wind up with 15 malnourished Africans instead of 2Unironically, most of Africa is under a population bubble, and when it pops there's going to be a humanitarian disaster of untold proportions, literal biblical type shit.
>>1058955My claims are that Africa is a huge exporter of cheap raw resources and rare earth minerals, this has been achieved mainly through international aid and the collective West in general and the US in particular has earned on it's investment.The only responses I've got to this are: 'y-you're a commie' which deserves no more detailed response than 'LMAO', 'computers are made in China' to which I nudged the simpleton to find out what computers are made of and where are those minerals extracted, and 'But no African country is number 1 exporter of resources you claim' to which I've responded that, yes, contributing i.e. 12% of world production in case of coffee has a huge effect on the market. If you're so functionally illiterate you cannot read this, or so dumb you can't realize this on your own, you deserve no further response than 'you're retarded'.
>>1058988Africa doesn't produce anything by themselves except slave labor in a resource rich region of the earth that was never properly exploited for those resources. If all the niggers were gone, all the functioning countries would colonize it and start building it up as real countries. Niggers are negative opportunity cost on the whole world at best.Money goes to a warlord, he makes sure his slaves harvest or mine some basic resource. Everything else is handled by whites or chinese people, from transport and logistics to actually bringing it to market somewhere. That's not exporting anything, that's just providing slave labor.
>>1059010>Africa doesn't produce anything by themselves except slave labor in a resource rich region of the earth that was never properly exploited for those resources.>Money goes to a warlord, he makes sure his slaves harvest or mine some basic resource.>Everything else is handled by whites or chinese people, from transport and logistics to actually bringing it to market somewhere.I think you're trying to move goalposts, but as you're inadvertendly agreeing with me, I accept your tear-laden concession.>That's not exporting anything, that's just providing slave labor.Are you still trying to argue, by twisting words out of their meanings this time? Export is selling from one country to another, no matter who provides logistics.
>>1058974Dead fish make me more sad, than dead niggers. We should just speed things up down there, by stopping all food transfer, and killing any of them that tries to flee.
>>1058974>it's the white man's fault niggers have 15 nigletsAh yes, the eternal white man, responsible for everything on this planet, including the nigger's inability to self restrain.Also:>niggers>farmingNow I know you're trolling.

>>1056708Are you really dumb enough to think that foreign aid is a necessary step to extracting resources from Africa? Who’s going to stop America from or China from taking shit for free?
>>1059563>Now I know you're trolling.Not him, but I legitimately don’t understand why people say that.Every single 19th century anthropologist that went to Africa commented on their farming techniques, crops etc, and these guys were far from being modern day bleeding heart liberal.Also, about NASA and space exploration, most of the shit that is allowing it to sort of make a comeback today was straight up impossible until the 2000s because of technological limitations(even the budget argument falls flat because even in the 60s surge it was only like 50% bigger than the modern values).
>>1064339>Are you really dumb enough to think that foreign aid is a necessary step to extracting resources from Africa?It's necessary to make more niggers who extract more resources, as well as keep those already alive from dying.Who’s going to stop America from or China from taking shit for free?Extraction costs. Thus they take shit for almost free.
