From the Newsweek article:

Civilization VI, or 'Civ IV,'

Sophie! Don't you know your Roman Numerals?

CIV IV = 104 01

okay see I was in favor of what he did but his politics were kind of incoherent so I couldn't jump on the 'idolize this man' train.

I guess now I gotta.

What was inconsistent?

From what I gather, if the allegations are true, then Luigi never claimed to be knowledgeable enough to have solutions but recognized general issues.

This would, presumably, absolve him of inconsistencies since he didn’t claim to be the arbiter of truth or an expert.

This is a genuine question btw, I’m realizing I don’t really know much about the manifest or his views beyond health insurance companies being evil. So I’m curious to hear what you mean.

He's like a real life, "most interesting man in the world".

He also filmed hours of professional quality porn of himself (with partners).

I mean, dude clearly had a unique mind. Not necessarily smart or dumb, but something that made him tick also led him to commit (one of) the most popular acts of murder in American history.

There's the news article. The source is one of his friends who claimed to know about the videos. But the videos aren't public.

… I legit know folks at firaxis, I didn’t know this.

I’m gonna ask if it’s true lmaoo

It says he worked an an intern and it was several years ago. I know the meme is fun, but I highly doubt that if he were not under arrest that he'd have been working on Civ 7 UI.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 14 hours ago

But that's the problem. He fixed the bugs in VI but wasn't around for VII

Guess he's slipping. He didn't even solve 1% of the healthcare bugs.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 hours ago

If the Government had let him cook I believe he'd have gotten to 25% too

[–] [email protected] 38 points 19 hours ago

Better free him so he can fix the UI in Civ7

Remember then the media was calling him a Techbro instead of a tech worker? Yeah, he was never a Techbro.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 21 hours ago

They tried everything... It didn't work

Bootlickers eventually fell inline but anyone paying attention saw right through the bullshit.

Anyone with basic vidya game exp knows that you re going the right way when you get this many enemies having a melt down on teevee and socials

Everyday more info comes out about him the more likeable he becomes.

a true patriot would organize a team to break this guy out of jail.

The best outcome of this situation is jury nullification. If the jury nullifies, we'll have proven the law does not prosecute heroic deeds of this caliber. It would be the biggest blow to capitalism in generations.

"he who saves his country has committed no crimes"

i threw up in my mouth a bit quoting trump, but throwing their words back at them is always satisfying.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

If it makes you feel any better, Trump was quoting Napoleon.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 12 hours ago

You can tell he was quoting someone else because the sentence makes grammatical sense

[–] [email protected] 8 points 15 hours ago

Everyone who fights the British is redeemable in some way, but no, that's not a whole lot better.

The guy who tried to take over Europe was arrested and banished (to run a tropical island, so like most rich and powerful was given a super kushy "punishment" that's more like a forced retirement), returned and tried to take over Europe a second time and was banished again (this time to an actually unpleasant island off the coast of Africa under active guard) might not be the best person for trump to be quoting in this context...
