Capitalist “Libertarianism” seems to always go hand in hand with ramp up of Military and surveillance and it’s somehow not in conflict with a “small state” in their eyes. Libertarians also loved military dictator Pinochet.

FIFA execs can feel embarassment? I don’t buy it

God that AI image is soo bad

Yeah but within those 1% the pattern essentially is the same where a small minority puts out way more CO2 than the average person

So how is birth rate vs immigration rate? You got some numbers right?

The response of X is pretty telling

A) they can easily deactivate/restrict the ability of Grok to create non-consensual porn or even cp B) they still choose to offer it (for money)

The first Nobel peace prize that was fairly conquered in war

Hate it when this happens

Started another run of Monster Sanctuary - one of my all time favorites. It’s a mix of Metroidvania and monster tamer and both parts work really well. Monster combat is teams of 3v3 and is pretty deep with individual skill trees for each monster and tons of synergies. Metroidvania elements also work really well - there is defo quite a bit openness to which area to explore first and there are also some optional and post game areas to find.

They also included some cool features for replayability - randomizer, permadeath for monsters, and a “bravery mode” giving you 1 random monster per area only for a cool challenge to come up with a build. I have over 10 playthroughs of it :D

There is also online pvp - not sure if the scene is still active, but there was an interesting tournament scene. I’m more about the single player though

Cool sounds good!

Facebook content is already posted mostly by bots. I guess question is if those bot owners are willing to pay up ans then FB could cash in a bit on all the AI shite, Russian disinformation, scams, etc.

Not sure if it’s part of Winter Sale, but I’ll get Mandragora Whisper of the Witch Tree (I’ll get it on Switch though where it’s also on sale). A work colleague heartily recommended it to me and it looks like a cool game; 2d platformer with hard “soulslike” combat, but doesn’t look like it’s going too hard on the “soulslike”. Supposedly very good exploration.

Tfw I don’t know enough about cookies to get it

These prosecutions are not consistent with the current prosecutorial priorities of the United States, which direct the Department of Justice’s resources into Making America Safe Again.

So charges are dropped not because he seems innocent, but because of political direction of justice now which must be focused on deporting innocent immigrants and building Reich 4.0

Not even the most crab president ever

Zelda Link’s Awakening … this one somehow has both the most Nostalgia and replayability for me even though I have also played the N64 Zeldas when growing up

Factorio - of course can’t go without Cracktorio

Caves of Qud - really good mix of roguelike and open world RPG. Lot’s of replayability as well.

Diablo 2 Resurrected - one of my favrotie games of all time. Got back into it recently on Switch and it’s just soo good. Also big Nostalgia for me

Mario Kart Double Dash - need to have something I can play with my wife and Mario Kart is just the Couch Multiplayer game. Double Dash is my favorite entry of the series as well

I’d say I hit a solid ish genre mix as well with it. Pity I couldn’t fit an FPS though

It’s funny how these “patriots” are best buddies with countries like Russia (we are currently at war with essentially), China (generally adversarial superpower) and US (we are currently engaged in trade war with). Surely they can just have the best interests for Germany with such a great portfolio of allies.

Tbh has like any American politician ever been held accountable for their war crimes? Henry Kissinger? Obama with his drone strikes? All that shit that happened in Irak under Bush and Dick Cheney?

The US just leaves any international body that would want to hold one of theirs accountable.

Mhm I just contribute to the Wikipedia… that one I feel is super worthwhile - it actually has been under heavy criticism by the US right lately, because they only want their version of “truth” to be the only one represented. Obv inconvenient for the powers that be, if there is freely available information that they can’t control. I’m not contributing on any hot topic though (mainly music/bands) - but I still feel like everything that you can find on Wikipedia strengthens its position as a tool that people go to for info.

A local wiki also sounds cool, but I have no idea what I would contribute there.
