Just started playing Ghost of Tsushima and the gameplay is really neat. Now usually, I value mechanics above story, but the writing sure is - a surprise. I may as well sit through hours of Overwatch Hanzo cinematics on repeat. This doesn't feel like a Samurai film, but a caricature of one.

"Surplus value" or "profit" is the value of your labor that your employer decides not to pay you.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

You must take my legitimate concerns seriously, ideally without making me say out loud what they are as I find when I do that they tend to sound a bit awful.

In the next 20 years, someone will make an American horror movie about a family or small community that got cursed and did unspeakable things to their own. And then when the curse is lifted, everyone feigns ignorance and goes on living like nothing happened.

Brain just avoided an embarrassing end to a Skyrim trap by triggering a distant memory from Ster's videos. I think I may have watched him a bit too much.

Question to my international followers: I just came upon a German thread of self-described Zionist antifascists, some of whom both claim to oppose American imperialism *and* defend Israel's apartheid regime. Only in Germany, or do these people exist elsewhere? I'm fascinated and appalled.
