Bought 2 copies on console. Game doesn’t actually work on console. Bought 2 on steam. Game doesn’t actually run on steam. (Or Linux?)

Come on, it’s a D&D game with broken AI party members that you need to micromanage every single frame. I just wanted to try it with a friend.

Cool looking scam though.

Like I said I was starting on “step 2” where you start with internal + external analyses = a result. A system is what is written and what is lived, I just assume it’s where we start in politics / economics / whatever. What is prescribed is a simple data point. That’s why I looked at the statements “Cuba is X, for proof here’s the governments website” as absurd. I didn’t realize people were speaking about hypotheticals, and reacted at the idea that someone would use that kind of logic to explain how something functions in reality.

I think I’m mixing up your statement of a basic datum, the way Cuba is written to be, with the idea that it’s indicative of what you’ll likely find. Hence, I was skeptical of the utility of using the written system as meaningful to the statement that Cuba was democratic. Like if people are going to talk about that, I assume it’s not a technicality they are referring to, they are talking about real people living in a real country… so what good is the official parties word on how things are operating?

Also didn’t even realize you were the same person from the other thread, didn’t mean to show up here and bother you.

Wouldn’t it be the opposite if SteamOS is lighter? I’m already running things like i3 but having even more stripped out sounds like it might be something. Maybe I’m misunderstanding

I’m not complaining, I’m giving you a relevant example of where these labels come from. It’s .ml and .world and I just don’t have any recent memory of this on .world. I’m sure there’s an example or two, just not recent.

I was silent because I wasn’t sure what people were saying. I don’t think people who disagree with what I say are necessarily misinformed, or less intelligent, or mean. So it comes down to how I am certain people (including you) know that what is written on paper and what flows in reality are not 1:1 matches. But they tell me something they wouldn’t accept if they were in my shoes.

Maybe that skepticism sounds ridiculous? But if structure is important and reality can be different and everyone knows this I think it’s odd to see officially meaningless official material in the room. Why can’t we throw it out?

Edit: imagine we’re pointing out that America is controlled by billionaires and someone links the official site saying “No, it’s still three branches and the will of the people.” You toss it immediately.

The other day I was on all and ended up reading a comment chain and saw something like “Cuba is a democracy, and for proof just look at the official website of the central party.”

I found it ridiculous to essentially say “Doug is a skilled electrician, for proof look at this note Doug wrote saying he’s a skilled electrician.”

This made me a dirty shitlib (I guess the instance I signed up on makes me a liberal). The reaction seemed intense so I checked and it was .ml, so I assume it’s a rivalry thing.

You’ll see me venting and shitting on eg conservatives but I don’t go around calling people these things. You probably don’t either. But clearly there are users categorizing us into labels and associating us with our instances regardless of merit.

All I ask for is the truth. That’s why I’m called tankie, liberal, Nazi, commie, Trumper, imperialist, hippie. I get bent out of shape when people sling lies and it causes me to become whatever boogeyman they’re turning around in their head.

Did you comb my posts to figure out I’m a liberal? I’m pro India, pro USA, pro China, pro Russia, (making it simple so you can digest it) so it’s weird you got liberal.

I’m flabbergasted that the official website of a political entity is being touted as evidence that the political entity isn’t perceived correctly.

Forget about Cuba, or politics, or class, everything. This is not how you find the truth. What’s the thing I’m not thinking of that’s throwing things off balance? Why would someone link to North Korea’s official website to argue that North Korea is not so bad? What’s the use and whose it for?

Personally I can’t run steam and a game on a my laptops. They’re good enough to run games like subnautica and stalker on wine but steam requires like 1gb of RAM and runs like shit.

Edit: on older Ubuntu lts versions, not 24

I only consume garbage slop when it’s manmade. A song with 57 kajillion views is real art. A movie with Dwayne Johnson is real art. Only rich people should be able to subject everyone to their limited imagination. Now that regular people can create slop my delicate capitalist machines that shit out content for me to consume are being disrupted. I’m too lazy and dumb to form personal connections with other humans so these fake ass systems are the only way I can get content. And you just can’t tell if it’s human anymore, it’s so sad.

It was revealed from a court case where Bethesda’s roadmap was made public. I think recently it’s been confirmed it’s still being released, and that it has something to do with Unreal Engine 5.

Is this to remind us of the oblivion remake?

Don’t open gifts if the tag is hanging in front.

How is “Everyone needs to end the violence and seek an ideal solution for everyone involved.” a nuanced position? That’s what I expect every person to believe when they first start thinking of Israel and Palestine.

I don’t think it’s as bad as people think. We have all believed, believe, and will believe misinformation. It’s a part of being human.

You are prompted to check at some point; someone tells you you’re wrong, you are curious, things feel incongruous, whatever. You find out you’re wrong and you update your shit. Easy, life goes on.

But certain people seem to actively shop for rhetoric that will look good on their shelves. You tell them they’re wrong and they dig in. They usually have no filter and say their ideas out loud even if it denigrates others.

It’s like propaganda is a chemical being injected that binds with cancer cells so you can more easily see them with the naked eye. The chemical touches everything but it “reacts” with the cancer.

Right winger means “person who shoots CEOs”? Well tattoo a swastika on my forehead and call me traditional because I love right wing ideology now.

The first notes you hear after entering the castle are etched into my memory. Even when running the game later as an adult those notes can still affect me.

I don’t view it as being sexual. Too many people wear this corpo slogan as if it’s just “proud to be X.” It could be sexual, but unless I see other things that go with being overt, fun, sexual, joking, then I can’t really make the conclusion.

I’m not saying everyone should think like that, just that plenty of people can see a woman wearing “Italians do it better” and not think sex.

And I’m far from being an ace. No idea why it doesn’t sound like sex to me.

Closer to 2.5% are below average, 2.5% brilliant, and 95% of us are average, or imperceptibly close to average.

Might as well. They’re modern news. Back then you did news at a loss because it was the news. Now your news must make a profit. So whatever they’re telling us, it’s designed for them to make a profit.

It’s not real life they’ve got in there. It’s a GI Joe. A PS5 game. The newest Nissan. Product.
