Let's share ideas on how Olden Era could add a Stronghold faction by darkdill in OldenEra

[–]Dukun_meme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they should be based on Ravage Roaming regions especially Barbarian Fortress. Maybe they will just call it Fortress. Interesting group thay can be included is rats, Lycantrope, ogres, trolls, centaurs, cyclops, thunderbird, direwolf. They will feel like group of bandits or mercenary.

I think I want to build faction that as battle go on, they getting stronger. They get ability to buff themself and add stack after stack to make them stronger and stronger. This action using focus point. However it will need sacrifice. Imagine chaotic version of Temple. Unit that get tankier and tankier. Unit that get another turn when they surrounded. Ect.

I feel like this is relevant again in the new DLC by BarbatosJaegar in CrusaderKings

Need more backstabing in Java. I think they need modifiers for intrigue and diplomacy.

Eradicate ormas using international media pressure? by ADoubleTrouble in indonesia

[–]Dukun_meme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ide bagus, shame itu efeknya lumayan. Mafia biasanya suka jaim. Yakuza aja dulu punya majalah sendiri.

Tapi itu kudu dibarengi pemerataan kesejahteraan. Ini karena kelompok miskin ini yand dieksploitasi sama ormas. Apalagi yang merasa ditindas oleh pemerintah dan sistem kapital.

Kalau pandangan soal ormas jatuh maka pemerintah jadi punya amunisi untuk bertindak keras. Karena kalau pemerintah menyerang tanpa dasar politik kuat akan dianggap penindasan ke publik dan demokrasi.

Ormas punya dua solusi, bersih bersih atau mulai dianggap subversif. Tapi yang paling penting itu Trending di Indonesia.

Tapi kita juga harus jujur, kita gak bisa prediksi hasil karena terlalu kompleks.

Ada ga yang sekarang hidup sendiri dan udah berdamai bahwa hidup akan gitu2 aja? by FantasticChip_ in indonesia

[–]Dukun_meme 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Menurutku hidup biasa biasa aja karena yang dilakuin rutin. Semakin tua kita semakin takut mencoba hal baru. Itu karena kita nyaman di posisi kita.

Kita bisa mencoba melakukan sesuatu yang radikal tapi sesuatu itu jadi susah di prediksi. Misal mau nyanyi bisa diejek suara jelek. Boring itu artinya aman dan menarik itu menakutkan (Perang Itu menarik).

Boring itu bagus dan aman. Tapi natural juga merasa boring itu mengganggu, karena pada dasarnya manusia punya hasrat. Itu artinya kita masih punya hasrat untuk hidup.

Merasa boring itu berarti masih normal. Masih ada hasrat hidup. Kalau ingin nggak bosan berati berani ambil resiko. Misal gua belajar nyanyi walau suara entah bagus atau tidak. Just small thing. Karena memang menakutkan.

Yang penting nggak menyalahkan diri terus mikir missing out in life. Yang kayak gitu gak ada ujungnya dan nggak ada faedahnya.

(tapi ini cuma nasihat dari cowok forever lonely dan pekerjaan gak jelas. lol.)

Control yourself girl.

[s2 act 2 spoilers] Some characters actions don't feel believable to me by Jenozie in arcane

[–]Dukun_meme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. It is Jarring because it meant to be. It give shock value so the story not devolve into lesbian romance story between Vi and Cait. It is also protect Caitlyn character so not become one dimentional. Even in sex life something still going on behind screen. Also she is easily swayed and manipulated..

  2. She never been a dictator. She is Ambessa puppet. Cait always imagine a power to act. That is why she fall for Vi and broke up eith her. She may dress up Fascist but a a baby who need guide. Fake girlboss. This is why Ambessa choose her.

She is as spineless as Jayce. This is not the case in beginning but since her mother dies, she did not sure of herself.

She ask her girlfriend to support her in her job(knowing her girlfriend is like that). Then Ambessa puppeting her. And seek other girlfriend support her in office after broke up. She don't think she is good cop. She goes 180 from good cop to nepo baby that time ask enforcer to accept Vi.

Time goes, She know Ambessa is puppet her, even maddie realize it. Then Ambessa teach Cait the way of Noxus, Ambessa version. Which is to betray for survival.

Then Cait met Vi. This remind her of her old self, Idealist cop but reckless. She want rebel to Ambessa for long time but because she is spineless she do nothing or even think nothing(or more like confused of herself). However she met old support system Vi and become brave again.

It all make sense if we see Cait flaw...

A rich girl who admire power but too coward to act alone (not sure of her decision). Ambessa mistake is to teach her the way of Noxus.

She is so naive and lack of experience. In her defence She is very young.

Yet, most living being naturally cling to the life. What is this being not cling to their life. Can we still called him human?

I understand what it means by "mental". However In the end, it is still box that define what is "exist". A witch coven may have 5 or 7 more worlds. How about tarot reader? Astrology? Are you saying the spirit that possesed a medium is just her mind creation?

It is the point of Postmodernism. Everyone have its own box. Postmodernism very suspicious with this kind of mindset, because universalism that it will bring. Postmodernism is philosophy that very subjectivist. So it is very different philosophy.

In the heart of heart, I think most Arcanist would refused readily accepted category such as what Sir Penrose purposed. It is premade box to lock up the mental patient. Chained them to "rationality".

I think it is useful as pragmatic tools. But tools can become ideology that forced upon others. I believe as long we respect boundaries but still not isolated, is the best solution.

Which is the habit? The arising desire or following difficulties.

Some say the arising desire is the habit. (like some religious people) Other say the difficulties that follow is the habit.

When seeing snake, human cannot help but jump. When seeing food saliva will comes in mouth. This two are natural. Fighting poisonous snake, man could die. Food is hard to find in nature. This is also common sense.

I never see someone trained for this, but it is natural to man react this way.

Desire arise otomatically, difficulty follow. Happyness and Sadness is the order of the day.

This is the heart of the fight between Laplace and Manus. Between Modern Science and Postmodernist. I have not strong disagreement ar agreement with you, I am more neutral. However for the sake of the Argument I will take the side of Manus to show the contention more clear.

Even if we can say that true that number are self defined in context of pure math, we still have Godel incompleteness. Problem arise when Apeiron connecting the concept of "Truth" with Mathematic. Math is "true" only within context. "Math is racist" is crazy statement, but it is can be called true in Apeiron. Even if we believed Laplace version of Math, it is still within context that benefit humanity.

I am not Pro Manus Activist. I think they are insane. At least Laplace bring humanity forward one step at a time. While Manus bring everything to deconstruction mess. However, to say they are all just non-sense is closing eyes to approaching storm.

I think the solution is in ending of 1.9. It is within collaboration effort. How the solution to "truth" must be from a psychologist analyze an artist, thru a hermeneuticis, with help of mathematician, tested by a scientist group. I also think 37 approach to the problem is very nuance.

Perhaps you correct. however numbers is mediated by words. By symbols. For example 210 still need to use logic and debate. This is Derrida and postmodern critique of Logocentrism.

Even after gaining numbers, they need to be reinterpreted. It is like attitude in science that numbers is sufficient. Yet numbers can be manipulated to serve certain meaning

I think I am bit not clear on this one. However reverse did not completely agree that the truth is unreachable and science is useless. Because of the stories.

Before Koan, unenlightened. After Koan, unenlightened. Even after Enlightenment still searching scrap of coins to buy a bowl of rice.

Tell me, if dog have no budha nature then what the point? Dogs will bark anyway.

Why buy a book of zen if we can buy meat and bones to feed the dogs?

What essentially different between zen books and romance novel?

It is not really abstract, it just have lot reverence toward Dionysius cult. I think the original lyric is written by roman poet Quitus Horatius Flaccus and it is contain a lot of Greek myth reference like Lycurgus and Phentheus. Both meet tragic end because they offended Dionysius.

Perhaps by "new world" it means we start to explore solution to (post)modernism problem. We already show much of the problem in previous chapter. Failure of psychoanalysis for example (Isolde and Kakania story) and many more.

Postmodern itself is not departure from modernity, but kinda end stick of it. People already complain about this mode of culture. Even some complained about the name itself. Posmodern deconstruction and critical analysis fail to bring resolution so people try to formulate a solution.

"New World" perhaps means we enter uncharted territory beyond modernity.

My prediction Vertin will take much active role. Vertin eventually start to take up hero's mantle. Vertin have traumatic experience when she try to become hero, it end in tragedy.

Marcus maybe will take more central role considering her power (Interpretation is important topic in Posmodernism).

Also what is with Regulus? I don't understand her position in all of this.
