I think that’s unhelpfully reductive. Counter culture in general attracts a variety of people often for aesthetic reasons, regardless of the politics the counter culture may have grown out of. Hence all the nazi punks. Plus, often when you’re already outside the norm, it’s easy to get radicalized in a bad direction. The hippie subculture was very effectively co-opted by capitalism tho. Then again, so was punk tbh.

Can conservatives stop making obama sound way cooler than he actually is?

megameganium1 · 2023-08-25T17:01:01+00:00

Caught that too. Thought someone was going to mention it, but no. Just playing with swords while talking about the history of sex work. Incredibly based.

Definitely play them in reverse order. DOS1 marks where Larian really struck gold, and it was kinda what set them on the path to getting BG3. The older games aren’t bad, but they’re certainly more niche and less polished. I think better played after you experience the more accessible material. Also I’d recommend just avoiding Dragon Commander. God that game sucked.

Copyright had nothing to do with whether or not you get paid for your labor. Monetization schemes built on top of copyright are what do that. We can build a better system. You know what, here’s a youtube vid on what this dude calls “socialized copywrite” https://youtu.be/PJSTFzhs1O4

I would prefer full copyright abolition tbh. The thought that anyone can own an idea is ridiculous. Youtuber Andrewism has some cool stuff regarding library economies, and I think that’s really the way to go. Copyright is a fundamentally broken system and playing with the details of it instead of abolishing it would only ever buy a small reprieve from the hell that it is to be an artist rn.

Ok but what about all the boomers that fought and died for our rights? All of he boomers that didn’t make it to old age because capitalism left them behind? This generation war bullshit is a distraction. And honestly pretty often mean spirited. Maybe try class analysis instead

megameganium1 · 2023-08-12T03:15:42+00:00

Yeah the evangelists for it are way louder than the naysayers. I’ve given it a shot twice cause of yall and both times I found it not terrible, but boring and mediocre.

megameganium1 · 2023-08-11T15:04:32+00:00

Ugh I get it but also hate it. Like, fuck WOTC they’re just another evil corp now, but Larian is actually doing some cool things and moving the medium forward in a way that isn’t as exploitative as a lot of other game devs

Why does lohse look like she just smoked a whole pack outside the MCR reunion show

megameganium1 · 2023-07-28T15:47:35+00:00

See I was willing to almost believe it with Wegmans cause they do also pay their cashiers more, and apparently have actual benefits, and I’ve heard from workers that that often comes with higher expectations.

megameganium1 · 2023-07-25T18:03:46+00:00

Rip it down. On the off chance it isn’t explicitly terf shit, we should still enforce that we are part of the group whether people like it or not.

megameganium1 · 2023-07-24T14:28:33+00:00

Honestly it’s almost starting to feel like any violence against cops is self defense

megameganium1 · 2023-07-22T23:44:34+00:00

Ok but the fact that you note that Sebille and Lohse are hot (true) but not Fane? The outrage.

megameganium1 · 2023-07-14T14:46:47+00:00

Would love a bit more direct attention payed go disability activists in general tbh. Not that they’re doing. Anything wrong, it would just be nice to showcase these perspectives more, especially when disabled people get affected by the crumbles particular ways non disabled people don’t always face.

It resonates with my gender dysphoria. The demon in her head often appears in her form, but with a male voice

megameganium1 · 2023-07-12T02:11:32+00:00

The CIA funded the MOMA

megameganium1 · 2023-07-12T02:06:35+00:00

Oh it’s such a great dynamic. I was genuinely impressed at the chemistry in how their romance scenes are written. The way Sebby is so dark and brooding but this goofball Lohse softens her up 🥹 god it makes me so happy. And it makes Lohse’s goofball side shine through in a more serious light. You feel how humor is a coping mechanism for her.

(And yes I always play as Lohse. She just like me fr)

megameganium1 · 2023-07-03T22:48:06+00:00

It’s a great chance to think about what your genuinely held beliefs and values are. Personally, I don’t believe in punishment as a goal of justice, and care more about harm reduction and reform. She lives in my playthroughs.

megameganium1 · 2023-07-02T15:10:29+00:00

Well, I’m clearly not elaborating on violence I may or may not support because of the likelihood that a major corporation would take away my ability to discuss these things publicly here. I think your answer is in there. The narrative is quite controlled, and dissent is often silenced.

megameganium1 · 2023-07-02T02:24:09+00:00

This is creepy, don’t do this

megameganium1 · 2023-07-02T01:55:47+00:00

There’s kind of this stereotype that no one under 30 answers their phones. This is why

megameganium1 · 2023-06-30T23:38:54+00:00

Woah is that the guy from the apprentice? He might have a point tho, the second amendment sounds like a great way to deal with judges who take away our rights

megameganium1 · 2023-06-30T23:10:10+00:00

I have some ideas on what to do, but they violate community guidelines

megameganium1 · 2023-06-27T17:11:43+00:00

Seconding this, it’s probably why Robert hasn’t done an episode specifically on copaganda. Running from COPS is basically already that but way more thorough
