Im already in a steam family (and they dont allow multiple right?) So im tied up there but the rest seems possible.
Got a flash of conservative talk radio when my stepdad drove me back from my sisters to the train station. The kuhner report or something like that.
Started out not too bad because they were talking about nuclear power being good. But they were still using obnoxious chud buzzwords like the elites being mad at Trump and Musk (who ate elites...) and CNN being propaganda (like conservative talk radio isnt). Then they started lying about how increased taxes raising prices and calling Kamala and Walz communists (which i take offense to as a communist) lol.
Oh yeah. I love completionist stuff in games. But the degree these games take it too and for games for kids
Mei's my favorite actually.
Im less put off by body type's fitting that certain mold than you are really. And the one that does the most to me, Mercy, is my least favorite design lol. And then you got charachter like the body builder one and uh... the tall and lanky one (forgot names) that arent even waifus in the traditional sense.
Yeah agreed that the waifuification of Kerrigan sucks.
Im ngl I have lots of problems with Overwatch but charachter design has never been one.
He's got Magneto! They better not be bullying him he has Magneto!
Turns out these are just like "repurposed" f2p games or something? Like they were originally f2p but they just haphazardly took the micros out so youre just left with grindy disasters lol
Kid showed me some of his Fornite skins I think he got them all F2P though
Yeah. I wish i had been around more for that (he's 8 now and last i saw him he was 4) and also had means to gift him stuff. His mom at least doesnt get him micros.
He's 8 and i dont get a lot of time with him because we dont live close, and i also dont have a lot of knowledge about that stuff myself. (I can emulate via pc, but he doesnt have one literally at all. Just an Apple tv and a switch).
He does have switch online so i could maybe at least introduce him to old Nintedo games via that? I just saw the last of him ill see this visit but maybe ill try that next time i visit or if he visits me. Could do a lot if he visits me by emulating via pc and with my large steam library.
Ending footbindings? Who cares. He cracked an off color joke that may have actually been a dig at Kissinger.

So, I've seen discussions on here that make me think most people here think that multipolarity would be helpful. But I saw some discourse elsewhere about the topic and there was a lot of disagreement about it, but most people were against actively working towards it and said that it wouldnt help anything. I also talked to my three main ML discord friends about the topic and none of them really supported it. One was against it entirely, another fairly neutral, and the other said its not a goal in and of itself but would serve a progressive purpose.
(Their positions on the Ukraine war are also more moderated than some of the ones I see on here though? But I'm also very mixed up and confused about what people think right now because some of the things my friends said were nOT what I thought they thought about the situation).
Ive seen the following Lenin quote used against the idea of multipolarity:
But I've also been told that thats not what Lenin meant at all and that he was talking more domestically than about geopolitical conflict. The quote above is also used as an argument against "critical support of Russia", and MLMs (and anti-Dengist MLs, and Leftcoms) use it as an argument against "critical support of China". My friends online all have slightly different takes on the Ukraine War, one sees it as inter-imperialist conflict and "fundamentally similar to WW1", but another thinks that Russia doesn't count as imperliast under the Leninist definition but is still against the invasion. These are both more moderate takes than i USUALLY see here but I know we arent a monilith. The one that thinks its an inter-imperalist conflict stands by this statement from her party: https://ycl.org.uk/2022/02/25/the-central-committee-of-the-young-communist-league-has-issued-the-following-statement-in-response-to-russian-invasion-of-ukraine/ and dismisses "critical support for Russia" as "twitter jibber jabber". Both, however, think that revolutionairy defeatism means that we as people living in NATO countries should oppose our own country's involvement in the war and oppose NATO generally. I do remember getting into an argument here with someone, who has since gone inactive, who felt that revolutionairy defeatism does NOT apply to Russians living in Russia, and I thought it did. They thought that Russia is a national struggle for its survival and should win outright ect. That is a more extreme position than I usually see from others here, and my side of that argument got more upbears I think.
Sorry, I have a problem where i learn best through discourse and rely on people who I admire and think of as smarter than me to help me figure things out. And when they disagree, I get confused X_X. I know thats not the best, but its the way my brain functions unfortunately. I'm sorry my brain is developing in real time and Im not sure what to think about things right now. This turned into a long rant about stuff thats not all related to the main question. But any input or help you could give would be welcome.
Did you hear what Bungie is doing to Marathon lol.
