Whelp conrads, it seems that even captain dingus khan is too old to keep working, at the ripe old age of...48. At least I retire in luxury, if not chastity.
That's right. It's Sid Meier's Pirates! The 2005? version that was absolutely trying to cash in on Pirates of the Caribbean.
Despite my memory of doing well at this game it is clear I don't have as good a memory as I thought. Oh well.
This is part 16. If you want to see part one, check out the playlist goddamn it. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGzH8lxtXkIi9_ck-jYg7ihJFQIWJ-3fz
Pirates! Live the life! (Sid Meier's Pirates! 2004 or is it 2005?) is a ...well, I guess a pirate sim game? It's set during the golden age of piracy in the western hemisphere, and the player takes the role of some hot twink that's lost all his money and family.
Don't worry though! Captain Dingus Khan and his band of merry ass pirates will leverage the incredible power of violence to defeat their enemies, namely the spanish.
