Yes, but that would just make them a biased source. Not an entirely useless one.

He can travel as a proper national leader to all the places he wants to travel

Unless he wants to travel to a place willing to enforce the ICC's arrest warrant. Afaik he's only been to Mongolia and South Africa since the warrant was issued, and both were criticized pretty heavily for not enforcing it.

Realistically, he's not going anywhere that even might arrest him.

Either way, if nobody is going to enforce an arrest warrant they're not going to claim a bounty either.

Because A: putting a bounty on the leader of a nuclear power is drastically different from the leader of a.. terrorist rebel organization(I'm not entirely sure what to call al qaeda).

And because B: it would change basically nothing. Putin already can't travel in most places internationally because there's an ICC warrant out on him for war crimes. The bounty isn't going to be relevant in Russia or allied places, and it's not going to be much of a motivator to an entire government.

So this is why people have suggested a tripsitter whenever I bring up mushrooms lmao

I don't personally use this feature, so I don't honestly know if this would solve your problem, but there's a firefox addon that might add the functionality you're wanting.

If it doesn't, then this issue

except that links clicked from within them will open in Chrome intead of FF, which makes for a confusing experience.

could possibly be solved with a chrome extension

To elaborate further on grand strategy games, pretty much all Paradox games can be played.. sort of cooperatively?

Generally the maps are large enough that you can kind of just pick your corners and only rarely interact.

In a single game of Europa Universalis 4 one player might conquer all of Asia, while another consolidates Europe and a third player is in Africa. You can't generally actually disable PvP, you can just not go to war. Same is true for Crusader Kings 2/3, and Stellaris. You can coexist and mutually stay out of each others way while possibly helping each other out.

All the Total War titles that support multiplayer (so everything past Shogun 2 in 2011) are coop friendly afaik. I'm particularly fond of the Total War: Warhammer games.

Also, I'd add some of the survival crafting/sandbox titles to the list of stuff you can play cooperatively. They don't all work for it, but some of them are definitely friendly to a coop group play style. 7 Days To Die works brilliantly like that, though it will be absolutely trivial with multiple players unless you turn the difficulty up. Ark: Survival Evolved can be pretty fun coop (especially with the Primal Fear mod- you will need friends.)

OP seems to want a very competitively focused tightly balanced experience, and Stellaris is absolutely anything but that. I enjoy the game, it's fun, but I can't imagine anyone considering it to be particularly balanced or enjoyable as a PvP/Versus experience.

I've never seen some specify that they want different second person pronouns, but hey new things every day. Man that is confusing to read, though.

I've sort of generally moved over to coop games in general nowadays.

Or even if I'm playing something that's a versus sort of multiplayer- like Civ- I just try not to focus too much on winning. I'm there for the journey, not the destination. If I end up winning, cool. If I don't, that's also cool as long as I had fun along the way.

That GPU shortage absolutely blew. I used a 1650 the whole time, just sitting on my hands waiting for something to be vaguely affordable. Ended up snagging an RX 6600 right at the very very end of the shortage- caught it on a steep sale and paid $220 for it, and my exact model is $200 now so I did pretty good I think lol
