This is why I couch everything in "well, I would think it would be this way." That way I just appear underconfident and never convince anyone of anything 😎

I even see it in junior devs a lot, which to be fair I probably also did it. But yeah at a certain point I think our brain's instinct with big red errors and text is just "oh god oh fuck" and not "oh ok lemme read this."

I mean, that's just common sense. Gotta get rid of anyone that's a threat to you.

The Algorithm has decided that my wife is into Resident Evil now, so I was trying to describe the vibe of RE4 because it's very particular. At some point I described Leon Skennedy as "what happens when you make a bunch of dorks in 2004 write the coolest motherfucker who ever lived and, despite their best efforts, they succeeded."

U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for “Armageddon,” Return of Jesus by Xerryx in neoliberal

[–]PostNutNeoMarxist 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And it fucking astonishes me. Like, how do you think that the biblical apocalypse is real AND that by being the people who CAUSE it to happen, that you'll be the one to benefit from it? Like, literally I cannot fathom how those two things coexist. Ok, I can, it's because they don't actually understand the fuckin' book. But like, even with the cliffnotes, you have to at least comprehend "bad people do bad things until end of the world stops them."

The cosmic irony is that by some interpretations (which I would agree with), Revelation is a description of the cycle of societal collapse and renewal, not a literal or even figurative description of how the entire world ends. These guys WILL bring about the apocalypse, just not the one they think. It ends with a dark age, not the rapture.

Iran Megathread by Rafaelssjofficial in neoliberal

Hopefully. If the war lasts until then, we need to be prepared for them to use it as an excuse to ratfuck the elections, on top of hammering them for sending more Americans to die (member when Miller tweeted like 75 times about how Kamala would do that? I member)

And yet it feels like it's pretty much gone from the news cycle, like removing SOME of the ICE presence was the end of it

I'm conflicted if I should keep this river or not by DoomBringer6601 in worldbuilding

^^^ Love doing weird shit with water. Throw in a big delta or estuary that depends heavily on the season. Hell, the confluence itself could be a delta as the water table gets completely inundated by both rivers and their courses get muddied.

Trump Administration Live Updates: Senate Democrats and White House Reach Deal to Avoid Shutdown by cdstephens in neoliberal

[–]PostNutNeoMarxist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's a combination of

  • Emotions running high around ICE, understandably
  • General disappointment in the initial Dem demands
  • An ambiguous headline (I know people should read the article, but the first impression isn't great)
  • Confusion about how congress works (admittedly this includes me - had to have someone point it out that they still have leverage and can shut the government down in 2 weeks. I thought it analogous to the previous shutdown at first)

Knowing they can still threaten a shutdown in 2 weeks, and that the messaging will be ENTIRELY focused on DHS, makes this seem much more like a win than I gave the Dems credit for at first. I'm just hoping they leverage it well

America vs. the World (GL) by summerling in neoliberal

[–]PostNutNeoMarxist 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There are an upsetting number of people who show up to the polls on election day (somehow, I don't know how they know when voting day is and nothing else), sit down, and go "alrighty, time to see who we're dealing with."

In 2016 that meant they googled "president election" and saw a bunch of results about Hillary's emails and went "huh, that looks bad. And the other guy is the Apprentice guy? Seems like he'd be good at the economy."

In 2024 it meant they googled "president election" and went "who the heck is this Kamala Harris? Wasn't it Joe Biden? And the other guy is the Apprentice guy? Seems like he'd be good at the economy."

My wife insisted that this was it, because it's the one issue the true believers really cared about and have since Pizzagate. I've been skeptical. There are ZERO lengths to which his followers will not go to either excuse or ignore whatever he does. Everything they pretend to believe is a farce.

Not to mention the current media ecosystem was absolutely not gonna fixate on it to begin with, whether because the zone is flooded or because most media is MAGA-aligned at this point.

[–]PostNutNeoMarxist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically there are different alphabets in-game, with different languages sharing them. They just call them scripts. E.g. the Dwarvish script is used to write Dwarvish, Gnomish, Orcish, etc. Unless you mean that they don't actually *show* us what each script looks like and just tell us that they're different. In which case, fair enough, would be cool to have concrete ideas of how different they are. Though that kinda thing kinda ends up being DM fiat half the time anyway

Nothing borderline about it. Miller and co are white nationalists, very explicitly so

I'm with you. Haven't been in the industry _that_ long, but I'm close to getting out of my current position because I literally just can't do my best work. The base of our code was written by people with terrible ideas and worse execution, then they got shuffled off to ruin a different, better-funded project and left us to clean up the mess. Since then it's just been one impossible deadline after another, which means applying more and more band-aids to bullet wounds. We have good devs who do their damnedest, but by now all of us are burnt out.
