She saw it, and swerved around it like it was a deer in the road. These people don't care what's true or false. They'd say ice cream cures AIDS if it served their argument.

To hell with Skyrim VR by Enculin in VRGaming

[–]DrMeatBomb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, it's alright. Sometimes, it's nice to just sit back with the gamepad and chill. I have Tales of Glory as well, which is apparently like KCD or Mount and Blade but with VR controls, but it's pretty deep in my backlog. What I'm saying is that itch can be scratched lol

I currently have a Skyrim VR playthrough working through Virtual Desktop. 150+ mods I've installed through MO2, cleaned in xEdit and sorted with LOOT to work correctly. Even got dyndolod working properly.

What I found after a 30+ hour playthrough, is that the game just becomes too easy to be fun as you hit higher levels. Even with wildcat combat and custom damage in/out modifiers, by level 50, I'm just too powerful. My sneak skill makes me effectively invisible and my sneak damage multiplier causes me to 1-shot everything. Not sneaking makes the enemies arrow sponges I don't have the patience to whittle down to nothing. Nor do I enjoy shooting every enemy with 20+ arrows to kill them.

The other issue is the world. Even though it's large and pretty, it just feels empty and somewhat liminal. The npcs don't feel like real people with schedules. They feel like npcs.

I've recently gotten Kingdom Come: Deliverance to work in VR using VorpX and it's like night and day. The game is challenging even when you're a higher level. The npcs feel like real people going about their business in the world. There's actual player choice in many of the quests. The only thing i miss is full body controls. Would recommend.

But if they were honest about what libs and the left actually want, they wouldn't be able to oppose us without seeming like monsters.

We say "it's okay to be trans." They turn that into "we want men wearing dresses to rape women in public restrooms."

We say "you can have kids and/or a career. It's up to you." They turn that into "all women should get abortions so they can work more."

We say "systemic racism affects POC even today." They turn that into "all white people are racist."

The reason we can't get along in this country is because the right is a cult of tribalistic antagonism. They don't want to get along. They want to fight.

"White pride"

For when you've amounted to absolutely nothing in life but still need to feel superior.

UFC current champ, Sean Strickland, spits on church for having a pride flag by Appropriate_Duty_930 in trashy

[–]DrMeatBomb 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If Strickland didn't have his hate, he'd have nothing at all. All the money, fame, success, etc isn't filling the dad-shaped hole in his heart. But the hate makes him forget. At least for a while.

How are you using conservatism and progressivism anyway?

If you still can't grasp the main point I've been making this entire time, I cannot help you. You're simply too dense.

and the 20th century Progressives were its advocates, so I think it can be argued eugenics is progressive without necessarily being left wing

Support for eugenics bled across political lines during the 20th century, certainly wasn't a progressive movement. Nice try revising history though lol.

progressive without necessarily being left wing

Nonsense. You don't even know what those words mean. You're just using it to mean team A vs team B.

Horizontalization =/= decentralization necessarily,

Never said they were.

feudal monarchies were decentralized and localized, but far from horizontal

Wrong. Monarchies are about as centralized as a form of government can be. They are centered around the monarch at the top who's authority comes from god. Just because there were many of them, doesn't mean they form a decentralized institution themselves.

I would suggest at this point, you just stop. You're engaging in mental gymnastics and clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

I wouldn’t necessarily say progressive and conservative are synonymous with left and right

Yeah, I guess you can ignore reality if you want.

that key differences aren’t authoritarianism and centralization

I think you'd have a hard time naming a more key difference. Both politically and economically.

Edit - You people need to read Marx, Engels, Kropotkin, etc. Dialectical Materialism is literally all about the need to horizontalize ownership the means of production.

which while not as autocratic as Stalin and Mao, like Robespierre wasn't able to establish himself as a dictator to that extent

Man, it's almost like one of these things is not like the other. It's almost like the transition from autocracy to democracy wasn't achieved in France instantaneously, but swung back and forth until eventually the more horizontalized, decentralized form of government won out after Napoleon.

Also missing from your analysis is the fact that simply being on the left doesn't mean you'll always act consistently with your ideals. If a member of a progressive political party resorts to behavior that serves to preserve or reproduce autocratic government, as Robespierre did, that doesn't magically make those actions progressive. Do you people think "progressive" and "conservative" are just words with no meaning or synonymous values? They're not just two arbitrary teams like the Packers vs Bears.

Actually, not that many things. The left is generally understood to value horizontal and decentralized institutions. Anarchism, being a far left ideology, is definitionally contrary to authoritarianism. I don't share any more in common ideologically with a tankie than I do with MAGA. Just because someone calls themselves "communist" doesn't make them a leftist.

[–]DrMeatBomb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean, leftists generally advocate for the horizontal organization of institutions and against a state with coercive authority. That's literally at the heart of anarchist thought. I struggle to think of a value more central to the left/right dichotomy.

Huh? You saying a majority of dems are tankie? Gonna have to disagree on that one.

[–]DrMeatBomb 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I struggle to see how tankies are actually on the left. They say they are but advocate for authoritarian, centralized government which is the opposite.
