at this point, they’ve got to be deliberately avoiding Discipline and Punish. this would demonstrably not have the effect they intend. it’s a deliberate threat to transition from being disappeared into state-sponsored slavery as punishment for “crime” to public execution as punishment for “crime.” and if that’s the situation, you’re going to see the second coming of the BPP much quicker than you currently can expect. the sum population of the u.s. are currently docile, with no significant anti-state militias or militant movements. i don’t think this can possibly continue in the face of a flood of images of violent public hangings.

we’ve had revolutionary opera, yes, but what about revolutionary CoD?

at one point in time, but not lately.

I’ve been playing Medieval II for like, 15 years at this point, so alright, they can try to wow me.

steel ball fly is that anything?

this is your reminder that “StopAntisemitism” is literally the project of one committed zionist in long island with nothing better to do all day. it’s not even an org per se, it’s a more institutionalized libsoftiktok

“Belabored party” :kelly:

Which is to say, all because they decided they wanted to regardless of what it took to justify it to themselves?

silksong is a game about the old world dying and the new world struggling to be born. the end of the world is not reducible to a point, the fundamental contradiction of apocalypticism. loved this video.

the new york crimes strikes again. its mission: distract liberals from the capitalist trash compactor that’s currently mushing them.

Silksong is the Bloodborne to Hollow Knight’s Dark Souls and I will not be elaborating

dead money really freaked me out. good dlc.

what you should do: delete that file and then listen to onlooker’s advice about using apt to install software when you can

what is happening: an arbitrary file you create to hold the contents of some data you streamed off the internet, for very good reason, is not automatically treated as an executable, partly because for all wget knows, it’s just a photograph or some text. to mark a file as executable, you need to run chmod +x /path/to/script/file to add to the file’s permissions. to learn more, and you should, please learn about file permissions and how those work on linux systems.

it’s a very long watch, but i recommend the recent people make games update documentary. there’s nothing left of disco elysium at za/um but the IP rights, and one asshole capitalist.

it’s a good day to have most of my favorites from them on physical media already.

i love this game so much. i have an ungodly amount of time in it and i’ve still never seen this dialogue before.

two important things here: they did quite a bit to masquerade as a secular action group and not a religious moralist group; it is actually quite unclear from anything i can find why exactly the payment processors caved so easily. its actual clients, itch.io and steam, dispute the claim that the listed games constitute illegal content. i’m not sure what exactly convinced them to side with this group. their website does not seem to lay out any particular action they’re inciting like mass call-ins to the company headquarters or something annoying like that.

my understanding is that this actually originates with an Australian christian group. their tactic consists of 1) targeting payment processors as a means of “going over the heads” of vendors so to speak and 2) start with content that most ordinary people would agree is objectionable (we’re talking real CW i don’t want to type that out stuff) and then 3) hope that lets you expand to much broader cultural censorship of much more popular media.

always papered over with “protecting kids” of course. these are the kinds of people that would say they’re performing the Holocaust on behalf of the kids.

is this a children’s card game?

no. yugioh is like that because of decades of strange and bad design decisions from Bandai-Namco. they don’t want to do keywords, so you have a wall of text. they don’t want to have a rotating standard, so they have a banlist that’s a mile long. there’s also several instances of them making cards that don’t actually work by the rules of the game. i like card games, i appreciate the different design decisions of the basic game of yu-gi-oh, but my god do the actual design decisions of cards themselves have flaws. it’s not a good game to pick up casually. just on the basis of card availability and price for meta decks, pokemon is by far the most accessible card game in paper right now.
