well, at least this comment reminded me there’s a block user function

I usually try not to engage in discussions about this stuff (except for once before like years ago), but maybe I’ll indulge a little bit and just say that not only does it make me uncomfortable when I see it, but I also know that it actively turns many people away from ideas of actual leftism when they see it, especially whenever they don’t know how “serious” people are around here when they throw around the cracker-word.

I’m bi-racial and I don’t have much of a “racial identity” (whatever that’s even supposed to be or look like), so admittedly I always get at least a little uncomfortable when anybody starts talking about their or someone else’s “race”, much the same way I get a little uncomfortable when people start generalizing each other because of their age, their gender, whatever.

I fully recognize that white privilege is a real thing in western cultures, and that anyone who can be construed as “non-white” is put at a very real disadvantage in many real-world situations (sometimes fatally so), and so because of that I also recognize the urge to undermine the general concept that “white = good / normal” by lashing out against it. But when you call someone who’s open to leftism but doesn’t have a complete understanding of things a “cracker”, for example, you put them down in a way that they usually perceive as intensely bigoted, to the degree that they will stop listening to every single thing you say after that. They’ll leave here, and never take you or anyone associated with whatever they perceive as your ideology seriously again. And I think that’s a big shame, because instead you could be trying to guide them to a more enlightened view of the world.

Ultimately - regardless of how justified it is by societal conditions - it’s a hateful act, born of hate (often times self-hate), and I don’t feel like that’s in the spirit of communism.

And, at the end of the day, I am conserving all my hatred for the moment when I personally blow away during the revolution.

Having lived in Texas my whole life until very recently, the only thing I miss is the food. Fuck the weather, fuck the people, fuck it all. If I could just teleport my old burrito place to where I am now, I’d be sittin’ pretty.

The Isle, which I have almost 2000 hours in because it’s incredibly in-depth despite being extremely unfinished and terribly balanced. It’s fun to run around as a dinosaur. The people who complain about there being nothing to do are absolutely right, but damn if there isn’t something exhilarating about stumbling upon some over-sized prey when it’s pitch black in swamp during a thunderstorm, lightning crashing as I strike from the shadows, bleeding a T-Rex to death.

Then there’s entire days where I play it and never find any prey.

Don’t play it.

holy shit guys wait stop the jokes the sleep weapon is actually real wtf??

I dunno if the dev team is making that point or not, but I’m seeing the point being made 'round the web regardless

the monster designs are solid

I agonized so much over whether or not people were gonna think I was ripping off Pokemon too hard when I made Kor since I used some of the sprites and tiles as reference points; if I’d known the bar was this low then I would’ve relaxed so much during the dev process.

My twitter feed says otherwise, sadly

I can dig that, I would kill for an actually good open-world survivalcraft game with Pokemon (type things).

make new pokemon

Did they, though?

I wanted Pokemon with guns

I do not understand the appeal, even a little bit

Edgelord knock-off Pokemon game where you enslave, work to death and eat creatures that people are defending to make some kind of point about how the hundreds of millions of people playing Pokemon apparently think cockfighting is okay because they played a video game about cartoon monsters fighting each other.

Either way, you do not have to hand it to Palworld, it’s obnoxious, Happy Tree Friends-esque edgelord shit.

W, fuck this game.

I saw them blasting some pokemonesque creature with assault rifles and I felt like I could smell the axe body spray of the dev team from my room

I swear that educating people on the history of Korea since the war is one of the most effective ways to radicalize them. As soon as you understand why there even IS a North Korea and a South Korea, suddenly all these stories about K-dramas and unicorns are revealed to be the embarrassing fiction that they are.

yes

This is excellent lmao

Reminds me of the heyday of Nwordbot
