Showerthoughts is not for nuanced discussion my guy

Your post doesnt interpret that way unfortunately. It reads as “book bad”. On a related note I’m reading Neuromamcer for the first time and its pretty good even if the language is shitty English.

Using your brain is good, Plesiohedron. Its good for it to simulate things, be curious.

Honestly theres a path to WW3 here. But it could not be that serious. It would be interesting to see how the US cozies up to Russia while its ally is attacking their ally Iran.

The most pathetic script kiddies have been put in control of all government systems. What would Rache Bartmoss do?

Left screen is for the chord (fucken noons won’t get off it), and browser. Right is for gaming because its actually center of the desk.

Use this as your “fascism has actually taken over” moment if you need one still. Its past time to get serious about our Democracy.

Its time to use what Prometheus gave us

Lemmy.usatoday or whatever is a conservative instance

Donate to an individual instance then. Or fork your own, call it Demmings, and see where that takes you.

Its just fucken Cyberpunk 2020 except theres no cool cyborg parts.

Straight up watching fascism in play. They just abducted a hero.

The disinformation bubble is tighter than a noose. They dont even know any of this is happening. An entire portion of the populace lulled into unconscious compliance by the state propaganda apparatus. There is no honeymoon stage, these people are lobotomized and sustained intravenously.

When the last two Popes have been more progressive than trending world leaders, theres a problem.

I’m gonna be real, with all the material to be inspired by, you dont really have to spend all that much to produce a great story. 1 had all the pieces there, it was just missing that little something that makes it great. It felt like a watered down Monty Python.

They nerf you if you join in on a much lower leveled friend. The issue doesnt exactly exist on DS1/2 either, as by now there are players of all levels. You’ll just get different match ups.

DS3 won’t match you with invasions that are far from your level either, but you can play with friends if any level with a password.

Elden Ring also matches you near level but you are adjusted to be near the host and invasions also play off multiple other factors so you aren’t RL20 invading someone on NG++. Its probably the most complex of the soulslikes so far with the matchmaking.

Bloodborne had something too but I dont remember cause I dont have a PlayStation or emulator :(

DS1/2, yes

DS3/Elden Ring, no

Sekiro, I wish

That doesnt matter in a fascist regime

Damn they took a good rave spot and made it gritty.

The real trick to make this better is moving away from a consumerist mindset. Which isnt really possible in capitalism at its current stage.
