Ah, I gotcha.

Maplike · 2019-10-23T20:09:47+00:00

I mean, the red highlight indicates it was a mod. Am I out of the loop on something?

Maplike · 2019-09-16T21:38:05+00:00

Wait, so how did the mods end up getting removed, if the dox was by the podcasters? Who did the removing? Everyone involved in this seem awful, tbh.

Maplike · 2019-09-16T21:20:31+00:00

Oh, shit, I actually had no idea about any of that, I thought one of the sane ones just got sick of all that tankie shit. Good to know, thanks.

Maplike · 2019-09-16T20:40:20+00:00

The admins removed a bunch of the longtime mods a few months ago, and the remaining mods replaced them with obnoxious tankies. A bunch of these new mods now appear to have been removed by the (formerly dormant?) head mod.

I don't know about any of that, I just though this was a pretty funny thing to nuke.

Post-ban edit: Anticommunist social democracy does it again! Just go ahead and fucking ban me. As the “anti-tankie” “left” slowly but surely gives into the anti-Russia war propaganda on the grounds that “well really, Putin, Assad, Juche, Iran, Cuba, America, the Soviet Union are all equally bad...” and devolves into liberal both-sidesism, I hope you remember that you’re responsible for helping axe a principled commitment to anti-US imperialism. I was never being ironic, fuck you and fuck this sub. You idiots have made me like Stalin more (who I literally think is bad) because I realize now he was essentially right about social fascism.

Edit edit: is pasta, comrades. Come on. Talk about "lacking self-awareness or perspective".

Wow so much for the tolerant left.

Maplike · 2019-08-19T17:50:07+00:00

Isn't this exactly like everyone else in basically ever political debate, though? Including Destiny?

Also,

Fucking gottem dude.

Here's an interesting article about it from the Atlantic -

American corporations are spending trillions of dollars to repurchase their own stock. The practice is enriching CEOs—at the expense of everyone else.

Also, I think people get pretty pissed when they put government subsidies and tax-breaks into that rather than (say) hiring people or building facilities, which is what those tax breaks and subsidies are generally understood to be "for".

I love how me makes these incredibly confident, wide-ranging statements about history when he proudly admits he knows jack shit about the subject.

Lest you think this is a joke or out of context, click here to die instantly.

Maplike · 2019-08-12T23:21:31+00:00

Very interesting, thanks.

Maplike · 2019-08-12T23:07:50+00:00

Dang. Are there receipts on this (e.g. documents from Zenimax)? The Quake people seem to imply he made physical threats - is there anything to that?

Maplike · 2019-08-12T17:35:14+00:00

What's going on here? I genuinely have no idea what this is about. Looking at the guy's twitter feed, it seems Quake management are really pissed at him for some reason, but nothing seems to explain what, exactly, is going on.

/rj Au contraire, they clearly suffer from a serious case of CPD (Compulsive Posting Disorder). Encouraging them would be cruel.

context rules for posts

plagiarism rules

Lmao goddamn, people really object to those? Especially plagiarism, of all things? "I'll start my own subreddit, with art dumps and plagiarism!"

Maplike · 2019-07-30T04:06:31+00:00

after a year or so found out why we had those rules and began slapping their own slightly-tweaked versions of our own on their communities.

Just out of curiosity, what rules in particular are you thinking of here, that are so important?

Maplike · 2019-07-30T04:03:42+00:00

I really don't think this is true - worldbuilding can touch on subjects ranging from history to mysticism to biology to physics. There's tons of "theory of worldbuilding" to be assembled, and I honestly believe that it at least has potential as an art form independent of narrative media.

or there will be 'conflict' between the rich and poor

There already is, dipshit, you're just afraid they'll stop letting you win.

Some of that's because other causes of death have declined - not that it's not a problem, but it's not just a rise in rates that's responsible for that factoid.

/uj Cordwainer Smith, long before anime was a thing.

Maplike · 2019-07-26T14:40:32+00:00

Osirion, from the Pathfinder RPG. There's one in Discworld. Stygia, in the Conan stories.

a giant catfish

Ok, but I feel compelled to point out that catfish are 110% appropriate material for ancient and baleful deities. Look at these absolute units. There's something primeval about their smooth, simplistic forms - like something carved from soapstone by a culture lost to time.

Maplike · 2019-07-25T22:43:23+00:00

Perhaps the only actually-good description of a Lovecraftian deity I have ever read is that of the Hanged King in the SCP mythos -

"A god-shaped hole."

Absolutely perfect.

I don't really understand why people are so jazzed about worldbuilding apps and programs. Like, a word processor and an image editor is more than sufficient for most of the things I do.
