Omg yes! This is one of my all-time fav games! I get excited whenever I see anyone new trying it. Please fill us in as you play if you can, especially since you're doing a first time blind run! Which Anton Rayne origin choices and policy directions did you pick?

Middle-class background, law student, generally heading in a reformist direction… But I’m also pursuing a general strategy of capitalism, strong defence, and control of media because I can tell this is a game where all the good intentions in the world will turn to ashes one way or another.

Ah shit, I was not expecting the inaugural ball to involve /that/. Like I need more problems.

@liberalhegemon.bsky.social the wokeness will continue until morale improves

Getting back to it after the workweek. An arch-conservative being named Gloria Tory is some real nominative determinism.

Love some of the extra on the nose naming they do. She's a tough nut to crack, that one. Looking forward to hearing how you approach the political deal making!

Just got through the whole Gasom deal thing. Indulging deficit spending will probably need to be resisted further on, but owning the gas company nationally seems like a pretty smart choice long-term and facing down the crowd with news of the wage increase was great stuff.

Ooh nice! I loved how you could actually use some leverage with Alfonso to get the wage deal. Great overall scene where you have all these different forces and agendas competing to influence you.

We are very much in the weeds.

Earlier, but nonetheless. A morgna ves core. Vectern sis da.

@roninmacbeth.bsky.social This game seems very much up your alley.

Suzerain? Yeah I've heard of it, a bunch of us on the TNO dev server liked to watch people stream it back in the day. Never got around to playing it myself, mind, but it looks fun.

First time trying it out and going in blind. Always love an ominous sense that everything is going to end horribly.

suzerain is so fuckin good. consumed me for a week or two. it's caused me to more seriously look at other text-heavy games

The soundtrack alone is so immersive. I can see myself playing the music on loop at work already.

The stuff with Franc so far is really compelling too. I hope I’m making the right choices in that regard.
