Even if you add all the 3rd party votes to the Democrats instead Kamala would still have lost to Trump.

(Denji knows about the possession right)

I don't think he does, Asa never explained it before, Denji was probably really confused when she Tyler Durdened herself

Yoru is evil but she makes me laugh

No please Fujimoto I can't handle this much peak

We keep joking about PC Gamer being a communist magazine but holy shit we've straight up got links to marxist.org in the article

Ah, I have the season pass too I just uninstalled cos I needed space on my hard drive for other stuff haha

I guess I meant more as in that Chapo's audience has moved further left than them, and are looking for more "serious" analysis.

Deprogram is more internationalist (which is good) but it also tends to draw out the class reductionist (which isn't as good).

Do you have the new Spheres of Influence dlc? Thinking of reinstalling to try it out

[–] CriticalOtaku@hexbear.net 12 points 2 weeks ago

Based on my launch experience (some of the patches and dlc change up the game a ton):

It’s not that hard to pick up once you figure out the UI. But also most of the game is fucking around with different inputs until you get the results you want e.g. building up enough infrastructure so you can set up paper mills so you can set up universities so you can expand the intelligentsia so you can start passing liberal laws, etc. In the late game everything becomes kinda automated and you end up just kinda sitting back and enjoying your little communist utopia.

The biggest points of friction were all the “gamey” elements they put on top of the simulation, which end up with weird results like France balkanizing into a million different states after the Paris Commune or World War 1 starting because Brazil declares war on Argentina. But I dunno how fun a pure simulation would be so idk

As for the users, there's overlap between r/TheDeprogram, r/LateStageCapitalism, r/WorkersStrikeBack... and here and Lemmygrad, but I don't envy anyone who stayed on reddit cos the place is hella astroturfed right now, between Zionists and Liberal "Harm Reduction" Dems (I know I repeat myself, but still).

Yeah, I think everyone who was a fan of Chapo/Trueanon in 2016 has moved on to The Deprogram / Blowback / Democracy Now! etc.

I still tune in to Hasan and Chapo if a topic interests me, for things like movie reviews and stuff.

(Also Hasan has been blowing up in my feed because of all the Twitch drama atm)

Did they say something cringe recently?

I still listen from time to time. Not to my knowledge. Hell they're one of the handful of left media figures who've been consistently good on Palestine.

Why yes I do love it when stuff I like is combined/takes inspiration from other stuff I like tyvm

“So much of what we do in society in general is just amelioration. It has nothing to do with curative justice,” Bloom said. “I wanted to make a game that was about that conversation."

Tuulik even had a message for his former colleagues (“comrades”) at ZA/UM, including Kurvitz and Rostov:

“To all other former respected comrades (Kurvitz, Rostov, everyone) – long time no hear, but we would love for you to join the struggle as well: time to roll up our sleeves and start building communism!”

 

Let a hundred flowers bloom

There are now as many ZA/UM successors as there are Workers' Internationals, appropriately enough.

is a pretty legit byline, gee thanks based Proletarian Communist Gamer magazine

 

Dead Dead Demon's Dededede Destruction Ep 14

Direct quote from the episode:

That Mothership in Japan is like a kid... who hasn't gotten laid! ...and is about to shoot it's load! It's true! We're leaders of the free world! That's us!'

 

Okay, so I never really wrote it down, but what I really really really love about CSM is how Fujimoto takes really simple, easily understood metaphors and just uses them to brutally illustrate our condition under late capitalism

Making literal deals with devils...

Just, man, this manga is just so peak

Although I don't know if Steam will re-enable sales for regions without PSN coverage.

 

We all need a break from the Protracted People's Posting War from time to time.

I'm proposing a No-Bad-Takes-Zone safe space, where we can just post whatever and not have to deal with Lost Wandering Redditors bringing their gross brainworms in with them. A com with strict moderation and zero tolerance for bigotry, basically pre-federation levels enforcement of site rules and judicious use of the banhammer.

Like, I'm talking about not even getting a chance for posters to debate them, just straight upstfu-terf

I'm usually all for Death of the Author , but fuck Bandai's exec's I'll accept the Word of God if God is this based.

 

We're getting scapegoated for the DDOS attack that affected us too yesterday, all because @Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net made one (admittedly kinda funny) joke here.

Normally I wouldn't post petty internet bullshit like this but I thought our admins should know.

Edit: Entire thread is a gold mine for dunk tank material tho

Edit2: Now the Spook of @Alaskaball@hexbear.net is getting namedropped

Edit3: So after some digging (read: 5 mins browsing lemmy instances) another user made this post saying the attacker was someone with a personal beef with .world completely unrelated to us? Documented methodology of attack is different but similar to the spam bot we got hit with too, but idk I'm just amateur hour here not an OpSec pro.

Edit4: I was trying to click on the links provided in that post to check but lemmy.world is down data-laughing

 

This wasn't the character I was expecting to come back

Edit:

Also, we got new Hexbear CSM emoji's! Big shoutout to the people in charge of emoji's!
