Currently, there is a sale on all Paradox Interactive games on Steam. As such, I have been too occupied with establishing the Ayutthaya Empire across 17th-18th century South East Asia to do the necessary research for a post this week.
Instead, I’ve asked my close friend, Douglas Kyle, to compose this week’s Thicc Thursday post:
Here’s to you, Mr. Kyle, an O.G. keepin’ it real for almost 60 years.
Kyle knows them other brother’s can’t deny.
On the bright side, satanists are getting nerfed.
Only one pic? FFS man. Here:

You’re welcome

So I can get around your stupid comment filter. Fuck off slavers!
Two major expansions for EU4 and Stellaris.
Be happy you got 1 pic.
See, this is what happens when we expect the coloreds to work. You should be half ashamed.
*whistles the tune of Year of Jublio*
Toenail fungus medicine has an entire year to itself?
I am scared to think of what HM is doing in Stellaris Utopia. Namely what sentient species are on the menu?
My very first game of Stellaris, I played as a militant, expansionist religious lizard people. After conquering a good 4th of the galaxy, I came across a little backwater called Sol. I established an observation post and infiltrated them. I successfully guided their world governments into ceding sovereignty to my empire. It was at that very point that I realized that I had reenacted the opening of V in my game.
Humans became my prime slave soldiers in further conquest for the glory of my lizard god.
GOD DAMN IT, I’M NOT REINSTALLING STELLARIS
What’s in the expansion?
NO I DON’T WANT TO KNOW.
*scratches neck nervously*
They overhauled a bunch of the government and social mechanics, fixed slavery (now you can eat your conquered foes as livestock), oh and you can make FUCKING DYSON SPHERES.
now you can eat your conquered foes as livestock
Is that not what you do with conquered foes?

Ancient Cannibals Didn’t Eat Just for the Calories, Study Suggests
This is me when people talk about how good the new WoW expansion is. It’s like ‘guys, I’ve moved on. I have a job, a family, responsibilities. I can’t just sit on the computer 16 hours a day for a week straight anymore.’
Hive Minds, jesse.
Hive Minds.
I did a single playthrough as libertarian space otters. Didn’t sleep for 48 hours and then uninstalled it and threw my laptop in a furnace.
I feel like a cannibal hive mind could bring me back though.
“What did you see when you touched the Tyranid hive mind, Librarian?”
“I saw….a trillion twerking xenos asses across the stars…”
Just picked up Hearts of Iron 4, loving that.
Love Stellaris, currently playing the Star Trek mod for it. Though, with this expansion might return to vanilla.
EU4, own it, have it installed, but haven’t committed to the 2-3 hours of tutorial videos it will take to learn it.
but haven’t committed to the 2-3 hours of tutorial videos it will take to learn it.
…You’re going to need at least a dozen hours of playtime before you get the basics down. There’s a reason why fans were bitching that HoI4 and Stellaris were ‘too simplistic’.
Yeah, I have something like 250 hours played in CK2, and I’m still a bit of a noob.
I recommend the Arumba/Filthy Robot tutorial series
It’s slow. It’s super-aspy in places. It takes like 20 hours to finish the ‘tutorial’ portion. But damn, it taught me how to play well enough that I could do get one of the harder achievements on my first run through.
Downside is that he uses all the DLC. I mean, it makes the game so much better and is totally worth it, but it’s not cheap, even on sale.
Crusader Kings 2 is their best game by far, though. Only game where “failure can be fun” actually applies.

This is my least favorite thing about Paradox. That and the OCD fugue state I fall into while playing their games.
8 bucks for plant people is fucking ballsy.
More or less balsy than Relic charging $5 to turn on gore mode in Total War: Warhammer?
They made up for that by giving us Bretonnians for free.

Crusader Kings 2 taught them how to turn their video games series into a digital crack distribution ring. They’ll never stop, and they’ll always produce some extremely overpriced crap that suckers will buy.
The only upside to this is that it also means they patch and retool the games constantly, so unlike their older titles like Victoria 2 they don’t have obvious exploits and mechanical flaws that will exist forever.
Yeah, I think that CK2 and EU4 DLC is well worth at least the sale price. Fuck, I gave them full money for MoH because I like that they keep fixing stuff all the time instead of letting it get stale.
I’m not a huge fan of “introduce some UI stuff in paid patch only”, like what they did when Institutions dropped. “Oh, you can speed up embracing by developing your province. BTW developing is paid DLC feature”. But after one EU4 run, I can’t even think about playing Civ again, it seems so shallow.
Their dev team clearly doesn’t care what is DLC content and what isn’t. Development in Common Sense was way more superficial, then suddenly became extremely important as time went on and more DLCs came out, until institutions made it pretty much mandatory. Sometimes they seem more aware of it (I’ve seen the CK2 devs recognize that retinues in Legacy of Rome was a bad idea).
Find a country guide for like Spain or Portugal and play them. Don’t worry about doing anything other than figuring out the game. The tutorials are useful, but you can get most of what you need just hovering over tooltips and learning the broad strokes from guides or Reddit.
She’s a big girl but she’s like juicier version of Rihanna. Me gusta.
Hey, the nasty British women go in the evening links thread!
It looks like Divine came back to life, and lost 40 pounds.
This is kind of pushing the envelope of thicc, isn’t it.
Pushed all the way off the table by the grease-covered fingers of that chick after she devoured two buckets of chicken.
This is also thicc.
#feelsgoodman
Ha! The Paradox Nerds have managed to take over Thicc Thursdays! By next week HM will be playing Vicky 2 and we’ll have fine courtesans like these.
Her hotness is relative. The important question is how closely related to me is she?
Also, does she have any claims?
She doesn’t look like she’s Quick, Genius or Strong. NEXT!
Just light the fucking SIV signal and be done with it.
Sheds single manly tear for itsnotmeitsyou and the commentariat of 2013.

Actually, she’s the best. Joss Whedon killed TV/Movie sci-fi.
I hope he dies from colon cancer.
Well he’s not entirely wrong, but even I can’t blame Whedon for all of it.
Am I the only one here honest enough to call her fat?
Come on, you guys. HM is our friend. He deserves honest feedback. If I’m the only one with the decency to give it to him, then so be it. But that girl is a bag of jello and I’m not afraid to tell him.
Don’t confuse me with Douglas Kyle.
Are you even old enough to have been eating butt since the ’60s?
I’m just saying. She crosses the line into tubbo. I wish I had two more arms so I could give her four thumbs down.
Fat.
Agreed. Anyone who wants her will have to fight off John, but that’s about it.
As I said before, she’s a bit of a big girl. She has a cute face and nice curves though. Just like a baseball bat as a birthday present, I giver her a solid would.
You’re crazy as shit. She’s just a tub of lard.
Dammit HM, can I get some muscle over here for these apostates!
Bingo wings, dude.
Not to mention she’s Dominican. And if my time among the Puerto Rican taught me anything, its to not trust a Dominican when weight control might become an issue down the road.
When sloopy enters a Thicc Thursday thread.
Down the road that cow is going to be two cows.
Yeah, those ain’t calves, they’re steers.
Yeah, her thiccness is in the wrong places. Dem legs are, umm, not shapely in a good way
Buncha blasphemers and heretics in here I swear.
She’s all yours, dude. Here’s a bag of flour as you go in. You know the drill.
The bigger the cushion…sloop. You want to ride on an ironing board?
No, but I don’t want to get lost in a life raft built for 12 either when there’s a nice kayak around to ride.
/me give Vhyrus a sharpie so he can mark where he got up to if he needs a break navigating around her.
I’ll send you to the stake for questioning my devotion to the cult of thiccness.
This woman is lumpy. She could be exactly the same size and be right up my alley if her shit was tight and not sagging. Her legs look like pantyhose stuffed with mashed potatoes
Jefe, the cult remains strong.
Jesus. All I can think is “how many seats does that take up on the train?”
#saynotoladyspreading
If she ever makes you stand on the subway, Rhywun, I’d be very happy to spank her.
Repeatedly.
Man, if she was kneeling on the sidewalk you could park your bike in those cheeks
Agreed. Although I would give a totally different answer at closing time.
How do we invite Douglas Kyle to comment here?
We just set the bait with this article. Now we wait…
My suspicion is, he already does.
Exactly!
His grandkids set up a Facebook account for him.
Guys, he could really use a friend right now.
He has more FB friends than I do.
Have you been eating ass since the ’60s?
If you just look at her face instead of the fatsuit she’s wearing, she looks like a hispanic version of Jesse Spano.
Jesse Spano has a real name.
And you’re just pretending to be young at this point.
Is John in charge of this week’s Thicc Thursday?
I think about this woman daily. I love Dascha Polanco.
Both of her?
yea, a lot
A LOT
Apparently the cast of Girls did a Golden Girls something. Talk about turning a whole generation asexual.
Like did they dress up as the characters or something.
Someone posted this not too long ago. You could have investigated her instead.
Don’t sully my informational videos on eating cephalopods with your perversions.
Them titties though.
Next Thursday is the first day of Songkran.
My desire to spend a lot of money in Thailand is tempered by my desire to not contract HIV or find a penis in the panties of the girl I just rented.
I have spent a lot of money there, neither one of those happened to me.
Did you spend it on the right things, though?
If the right thing is booze and hookers, then yes.
I’m sorry Vhryus, but the queens western uses would not excite you.
If Vhyrus wants the Thicc. Thailand is not the place. South America or as seen, the Dominican.
I’m an equal opportunity employer, and I love me some slants.
You just need to look hard enough.
I really have to stop clicking HMs links at work. That one actually hit the blocker.
Vhyrus, you don’t read the link before you click it?
I saw what you did sloop, even if no one else acknowledges it.
I have heard that is a good time in the land of smiles.
That’s why I stayed for 5 years.
5 HIV and ladyboy free years, by the way.
I have friends who visited there and never left. Most are married with kids now. I have visited several times. Never during Songkran unfortunately. I have just heard the stories. Great place Thailand is.
That was disturbing.
No, that was the tame version.
NOT CLICKING
DO IT, THE GUY WAS A VEGETARIAN AND HAD TO DO IT FOR A MOVIE, RESPECT HIS CRAFT DAMMIT.
ok, that wasn’t as disturbing as the cute girl eating the thing.
I’d let her eat my octopus.

-every Japanese person alive today
And even some who aren’t alive.
Hey, weren’t you in that movie, with that actor set in that place?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXF8Lhvjqa8
The comments are pure gold.
The more the better?
Okay, now we’ve reached a nope.
Don’t you people
workknow the difference between thicc and obese?::raises hand::
Right now, sure. At closing time, not really.
At closing time, my inebriation and her admittedly cute face would mean she could ride me.
Douglas Kyle’s smile tells many tales.
Every time I get back into EU4 there’s a new patch that completely changed gameplay so so I have to re-learn the game.
Umm, what? Why are there no pics? Did I miss something here?
Well, it’s back now. Weird.
Shit, I missed some gaming discussion because I was putting together some new end tables for wifey. I’m getting ready to upgrade my board and CPU and throw a 1080ti in there.
I have a bad impression of her because of her character on OITNB — She’s the dumbest person on that stupid show.
