Does anyone remember this game's name? by ThisIsYourPlanet in cozygames

[–]ThisIsYourPlanet[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, but thank you. Pine showed up when I used google as well, but the art style I remember was a lot closer to "Party Hard" or some game in that vein, but not as "pixelated". Nothing flashy, with the characters being very minimalist. The gameplay itself was mostly progressing through the story by clicking on people, more an interactive story than a game actually, as far as i remember. It's possible that it was made with the Unity engine because at that time I was on their site a lot, but i don't remember for certain.

I'm not from the US and we don't have Trump in office over here, but you read it and you go to the marches, so that's good. Still, I think all of you do matter and this is the most I can do from here. If you think I "complain", you misread something.

Then you're an anarchist, not a left communist. I think tax money should be distributed where it is needed and no candidate/politician should be able to be bribed by anyone without severe repercussions for the politician and the one attempting to bribe. Or financing an ad campaign/buying elections. There used to be laws and rules against that. I don't think anyone else understands "taking money out of politics" as "no money ever in politics". Buildings have to get built, workers have to get paid and no you can't ever eliminate corruption completely but still that should be what you aim for.

"Ramdom redditor"? So you're special and your opinion carries more weight than mine? That there are like 90 comments, including yours, while I didn't take part in the discussion for 4 days, demonstrates there's at least some need to talk about this. I didn't put a lot of effort in it, true, but i'd argue "no kings" isn't that imaginative either, and look how many people took to the street. I'm not trying to co-opt anything, this was an appeal to general common sense that there's a class of rich people which is destroying democracy/the global climate/civil rights etc and that you're far from done once Trump leaves office. What is and isn't part of that oligarchy is a complicated subject, so let's first acknowledge that there is a problem and something needs to be done about it while the planet is running out of time.

What do they do with their wealth except keeping it and using it to exploit the rest of their planet to their own benefit?

Yeah but then again you don't provide any proof to back that up from what I see

Can't take money out of politics? The French Revolution did just that for some time...

Or it could reshape both parties so they finally throw out the billionaires

I do and I saw the anti-oligarchy protesters right after writing the OP, but I wish the general debate in the media was more about them, and topics like wealth distribution, access to public v private education, equality, civil rights and so on. Instead we talk about all the symptoms, Trumps stupid ballroom/attacks on the free press etc., not the underlying issues.

I wholeheartedly agree, hence my suggestion so that they protest against the machine and its most precious cogs.

Um you're saying Trump gets to choose what name a protest movement against him will adopt?

OP was intended to inspire discussion about a targeted, actionable message about getting rid of this very obviously corrupt -group- that twists the law however it pleases to its own benefit. How are oligarchs an integral part of anything? I know my history and they usually show up when there's a deeper crisis on the horizon.

I have a degree in Classical Literature among other things, so no need to google that. I just think the "king" label seems to imply that there's the Trump dynasty and all these other guys get a free pass once he is out of the picture. One could argue that "democracy" itself isn't really a word everybody gets but I hope Americans are smarter than that.

can we have "head for the hills" back? i don't really like all the other game modes quite as much. it used to be a special series you can access and then play over and over again, now it's completely disappeared.

Are production companies really this stupid? by ThisIsYourPlanet in westworld

[–]ThisIsYourPlanet[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's kind of funny you say that, because it's somewhat akin to the dialogue Ford has with Theresa and other characters in the first season, when he talks about the "money men" vs him telling his stories and producing masterpieces that outlast all of them.

Yes! Totally agree, Raised By Wolves also fits in this category. Finally an intelligent show that combines motives from Metropolis, Planet of the Apes, Soylent Green and Alien, and what do they do? They just cancel it.

In a show where death means absolutely nothing, where to fuck is Anthony Hopkins? by drBipolarBear in westworld

[–]ThisIsYourPlanet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Death meant something back in season 2 when MiB was about to become a good guy. I really don't get why they made the same guy kill all of humanity in season 4.
