This is a fair point, though I will say for most Paradox games the majority of the changes come out in free updates when the DLCs drop. And I’ve found (coming from Europa Universalis IV) that there are only a few crucial DLCs that really feel necessary to the experience, many just add cosmetics or minor changes that get balanced out with free updates anyway.

Doesn’t solve the problem, you still feel like you’re missing out, but for example EUIV has like 20 DLCs, only 5 or so I would consider mandatory, and they go on sale in packs so often I don’t think I’ve paid more than $50 for the full game and all necessary DLCs for any paradox game.

I have several vintage film cameras I use pretty often, oldest are probably my Nikon F or Leica M3 from the late 50s.

I did a burpee and when jumping my feet back in towards my hands, they went too far and i kicked my own wrist. My toenail took a chunk of skin out of my wrist. So dumb.
