Went to a Korean & Mexican fusion restaurant the other day and loved it. Do you guys have any experiences with fusion dishes maybe from growing up in multicultural households or combining recipes you enjoy?
Recently released. Thought it'd be a good fit to learn about why we're fighting this war.
I think what kills a lot of Age of Sail games are the trolling.
This isn't like Nations At War where a section of people trolling and screwing around doesn't ruin the game for everyone else that actually wants to play.
But on Age of Sail, we're all on the same ship, and we can't simply ignore poor players because it directly determines whether we live or die.
Just tonight one of the captains of the 30-gun shit decided he wasn't going to bother using his mic despite saying he doesn't feel like steering. Then he didn't want to use any powerups, and decided to jump off the ship and disappeared for the entire round but didn't give up up the captain slot. Pretty much hogging the captain slot to the burden of everyone else on the ship.
Another night on Naval Seige I had parked the boat at a perfect spot where cannons couldn't hit it. Then a group of players kept intentionally grabbing the boat and parking it in front of cannons so that enemy teams could sink it.
Not to mention being captain seems to be a contest of who can load the game fastest, and a lot of these captains dont have mics nor do they know how to use the powerups.
Because of this, morale drops pretty fast and people just leave them game.
It would be great to have a way to kick off captains who are screwing around since it affects everyone on the ship.
TikTok and IG has suggested me endless videos of influencers reacting to the meetup, and it feels like they're all literally saying the exact same thing. There's been zero deviation or variation of opinions at all. It feels like all these influencers got sent the same media kit and were told to repeat the same exact talking points.
Almost every influencer video is someone reading a script or has lots of cuts
Many of the cuts start with "we need to talk about...." or "we need to..."
Every single video mentions "centering whiteness", "proximity to whiteness", and "excluding others" almost all using the exact same flat language and verbiage. They all talk like they're reading a script and not speaking from the heart.
They also mention how "its weird" or "its okay for people to meetup but... [insert virtue signaling phrases here]"
All of these takes being shot on a tripod, great lighting, the whole works. Nothing very amateur.
And not to mention the speed of all these responses. Usually people need a bit of time for things to marinate on their mind especially when its based on situations they don't experience, but the response drops were so quick that it felt very inorganic.
The only deviation in tone or commentary has been from normal users with fewer followers, not influencers. Actual wasians, blasians, mixed race, and people of different ethnicities saying their take but not getting nearly as much engagement.
I cant help but feel like some media agencies are getting these influencers to exploit the meetup for more engagement and have zero concern for the actual wellbeing of multiracial people.

In this video I respond to dehumanizing rhetoric used against mixed people, and fire back at harmful tropes used to minimize experiences of people mixed with white. I talk about the projection of white fragility, centering whiteness, and challenge the assumptions behind mixed privilege. TT: ItsOkToBeMixed
