Oh jesus, here’s hoping it’s at least an MMO then, so it won’t be so barren. I almost posted my gripes list after the game dropped to the subreddit, but after a quick scroll I realized there was a non-zero chance I’d get stalkers if I did. The git gud mentality is so annoying and telling, like none of the games are especially hard! They’re frustrating (mostly DS2) and some of the mechanics are outdated and have been dropped from more modern games for good reason (looking at you, soul loss), but their difficulty is so overrated.

Hard agree on the Legacy dungeons, I actually had fun in those before having to trudge through the repeated content and reused bosses (there are only like six uniques, right???) ad nauseam.

I am too mature and principled to be fooled by bread and circuses

new dragon age trailer drops

Zero skin in the game. It’s all football for them

I’m proud of myself for not spending the next two hours listening to companion banter

Oh shit. I was gonna say Fenris…

unrelated rant

I couldn’t get into Elden ring and it kinda makes me sad. Like the open world feels so empty in most places and the enemies are copy paste. And I kept a journal to remember quests/characters, but I’m still missing stuff. How isn’t there a in-game journal?? Why am I limited in map markers. I had this huge list of removed and gripes before I quit and just googled all the lore questions I had.

reject modernity, return to DS1 tail cuts

And where you’re not easy prey for cisthumbs. I like exercise and trucks will just stop illegally in the middle of the street… with their driver’s dead eyeing you. Once a truck just followed me and my gf, like driving right behind us for blocks until we lost him. And I’ve been attacked enough to know where that goes, so we bought treadmills. Yay

E: and we’re both immunocompromised so gyms were out the second covid hit

And speaking of Jiang, it’s a bit sad that out of all of China’s recent leaders he was the most heavily right-deviationist, because as a person he was certainly quite charismatic and at times even funny.

Love his famous interview, where he just goes off on the liberal journalist

Yes? Life is joyous enough that even the most imperiled, enslaved people have found happiness and love in their fleeting moments of peace and freedom. I mean, have you seen a rainbow? Shit’s pretty

Sidebar, should I watch She-Ra? How’s the politics?

Because they’ll still largely be liberals that think the system can be reformed, material conditions haven’t deteriorated enough for anything else. They’re also far less white and way more LGBT, so they won’t be Republicans unless a sea change happens in that party. If you’re not a Republican in the US, you’re a Democrat, at least socially.

Joe biden is millennial and gen x nostalgia, they just need their own Obama and they’ll go back to brunch, just like the millenials and gen xers that stood against Bush went back to brunch while Obama continued the wars and drone struck US citizens.

E: also the American firewall and tik tok ban will prevent the narrative from spinning out of control again as it did with Palestine

Nah. Who would fight it? Aging white Republicans vs. multiethnic pacifist zoomer and gen alpha Democrats? The Dems are more than happy to roll over for whatever the Republicans want and their base will only hold signs and engage in disorganized civil disobedience. I can see full-on transgender genocide, as our existence can be legislated away with relative ease, but Democrats won’t care any more than they cared about the gay genocide in the 80s, and the incarceration of those that illegally seek meds will be bipartisan

Source? I’ve found nothing on that, only the Judge specifying locking him up will impede his first amendment rights and ability to campaign.

All the Trump shit will do is rile his base and make the dems more complacent, right?

Regardless it’s funny. And it’ll be great watching the dem meltdown when he serves exactly 0 days behind bars. They’ll still proclaim it a symbolic victory ofc

Communism couldn’t happen in a world with capitalism, or at least socialism would need to be as entrenched as capitalism is nowadays. I agree that it would be achieved through reform, not revolution. Late stage socialism will just bleed into communism, there won’t be some indelible line separating the two

Mmhmm mmhmm mmhmm ok

I mean, you can find jokes about the US healthcare system in season 1 Simpsons way back in the 1800s.
