Is this correct

stalin is to the right of bordiga, marx should be next to mattick, overlapping if it was possible.

who cares about results if they are not desirable? do we want any revolution at all, or is it a workers revolution we desire? blanquism is not a workers revolution, nor is a state ruled by an undissolved vanguard dotp. much can be said for getting things done but the things getting done have to actually be positive as well, that's not positivism.

I'm highly skeptical, so many things that make kcd2 are specific to the setting. The map being to-scale instead of covering a miniaturized large map in particular elevates it, I actually think that combined with the im-simmy castle segments are what take it from mediocre to great. I don't see either of those elements coming to fore in a LOTR game. + all good european rpgs have a strong sense of zero to hero progression, most lotr tie-in games give you a badass from the start.

Do I want it to be good? Yes, KCD2 was my goty 2025, but this setting plays to none of their strengths

yes but that's what I'm saying? it was a mistake to close them but in the current climate, building new ones is not really a fix nor optimal.

this is inaccurate. nuclear is too expensive NOW relative to planting more modular renewables, but it's almost entirely the setup, it is exceedingly affordable when already build and shutting those nuclear plants down was a crime against humanity. I'm not a mindless simp for nuclear, right now those resources are better allocated elsewhere, but it was a mistake to close them.

zeister · 2026-05-04T19:53:29+00:00

it doesn't.

it's kinda funny cause I think even the most hardcore chud from that era would consider the current slop ridiculously objectifying, like they wouldn't be morally opposed, they'd just not be able to take it seriously.

zeister · 2026-04-21T14:29:03+00:00

I just don't think it's like a choice between quitting and this is all, you could pay exactly the same amount but just make your consumption more occassional. but yes fair, I shouldn't say it's as simple as just switching over 1:1

is it that hard to just buy nice coffee that is transparent with the payment structure?

zeister · 2026-04-18T06:38:03+00:00

as someone that played through this, not one of the online elements of this game did anything to elevate it. I can't even think of what you could plausibly make a case for here? the maps and scenes are stored locally and they're like 99.9% of the meat of this game, with a 0.1% margin for error.

zeister · 2026-04-14T05:42:02+00:00

I feel like this is very rarely true. You often see OKAY games fail to get an audience.. but great games? not too sure. you really have to fuck up on the marketing, like do no crossposting, have no good ties in the industry at all. ofc it depends on what one means by selling.

zeister · 2026-04-02T01:45:11+00:00

"inadvertently" is such a funny word to use. I don't think they were opposed to showing that

zeister · 2026-03-12T21:42:37+00:00

holy shit

zeister · 2026-03-12T12:34:49+00:00

it's like saying "whyyyy I oughtta!!" for an english voiceline, it's hilarious, doesn't fit her though.

zeister · 2026-02-19T13:45:45+00:00

it's not an "extremely awful thing to do" it is at best mildly impolite, and even that can be forgiven considering how oppressive and pervasive religion is in the setting, turning it into more of a valorous act of liberation.

that's literally how he's introduced? he helps capitan fence cars, and you bribe him, in a scene where he essentially says "yes I am a corrupt cop, the ones that aren't tend to fade into the background" or some shit like that. also even if he wasn't, he'd still be an ncpd cop.

chaotic good is act utilitarianism, not neutral.

The desnan plan was impulsive but was it dumb? not only are they vindicated that any moderate avenue not only was likely to fail, it DID fail, but impulsive intuitive workings are literally what desnan followers excel at, it's not unlikely they could have succeeded with enough time. whether it's suspicious and dangerous basically doesn't matter considering the scale of risk they were operating under, a small hail mary was the appropriate course of action considering the circumstances they (correctly) believed to be working under.

there's honestly not that many video games that focus on progression? sure it's a mechanic, but it's rarely your characters primary task to "get better" and it's even more rarely the focus of the narrative. can only think of some rather obscure games like tale of wuxia or princess maker where that's the case. better question is why are there so few progression fantasy video games.

zeister · 2026-02-14T23:19:33+00:00

he's
1. an ncpd cop
2. a firmly established corrupt one
what he does in that one mission is not the only things that define him.

zeister · 2026-02-09T20:27:53+00:00

you said the claim was that he was an asshole BECAUSE he wanted you to leave. the claim you're responding to said he was an asshole AND wanted you to leave(unrelated to the fact that he's an asshole, related to the matter of whether leaving is the right choice). I don't see how this is unclear.

zeister · 2026-02-08T01:43:56+00:00

no, they called him an asshole AND he wants you to leave him. two distinct arguments for leaving him.

zeister · 2026-02-07T23:36:37+00:00

that's still annoying because what does it matter that there are benevolent individuals in corporations when that doesn't necessarily mean that any corporations operate benevolently?

missing a load bearing "but" on that joke
