I’m a bit of an indies person, so recently I’ve finished “Session: Skate Sim”, a game that really impressed me with the depth of its movement and how rewarding it feels to progress it. I’ve also just finished “Lonely Mountains Downhill”, that even though it doesn’t have advanced mechanics, more than makes up for it on the discovery factor by allowing you to forge your own path to finish the tracks.

Right now I’ve just started “Furi” that seems to be half 2D shooter half beat-em-up where there are only boss fights, all in great combination with the psychedelic graphics and electronic soundtrack. I’ve also started to play “Disco Elysium” as I’ve seen multiple people here and in hexbear recommending it, but just some hours in I can tell it’s going to take a long time to finish it.

Who would have thought that the people waving US flags in protest against China, and saying that schools should teach “morals”, were xenophobics and racists.

Damn, this pasta is bigger than I remembered…

“A decrease in military aid only prolongs this war and costs Ukrainian lives”

Wait, What???

Yes, but in this graph the decline was around 2017-2018.

Wait, is that what the graph is showing? From what I understood the y is the total of the us sanctions, so the bigger the bar there the more sanctioned a country is presently, and even though I can’t see an actual number the better Korea does seen to have the biggest bar in the end.

Now that I looked at it once again, it seems the position on the graph is based by when the sanctions began, which is why Russia is so high because they only started in the 90s while China has had then since the 40s.

Pretty messy graph overall.

I also am pretty limited regarding theory, but I do remember seeing an online video of a teacher saying how, at the end of his life, Marx was studying primitive forms of society and their complexity.

So I do have to question you in what do you mean by complex societies, because from what I understand ours is a extremely simple one, you are either a worker or a capitalist, there are in betweens but there isn’t any other class you can be part of in capitalism.

Man, that’s so sad…

I’ve been listening to 2000s electronic lately, mostly Boards of Canada’s “Geogaddi” and “Campfire Headphase” and sometimes The Unicorns’ “Who Will Cut Our Hair”

Edit: I don’t know how I forgot this, but “The Fire This Time” is an audio documentary about the us intervention in the Middle East that fans of IDM should definitely listen to.

I don’t think it’s correct to call them a fascist band.

They disbanded in 98 and the allegations against Stza are from the 2010s, the fact that a single member became a POS over a decade later doesn’t determine what the band is a whole.

Idk, I fell that saying that is like saying that “I Want To Hold Your Hand” is leftist only because John Lennon became one years latter.

Hell yeah, those ska-punk albums are great. I always find it funny that the first time I ever heard parenti was in a choking victim album.
