For a coffee junky this isn't too far off okay

This isn't going full nuGOW or TLOU; you still give the player the ability to actually shape the character and the narrative, but it's without having to account for your Tav being anything from a chaos gremlin to paladin of light.

One thing I think we kind of failed to capitalized on in the RPG video game space is strongly predefined characters that the player can nonetheless make decisions for within the space of their roleplay. There's tons of extremely blank slate/do everything types from TES to Mass Effect but few Geralts

I think shoehorning the Templar/Assassin metaplot would have been a huge mistake though; would be interesting as anything but an AC game

You can tell anime is a mature art form because we've started to get Mad at Mom shows featuring giant robots too

I think this was bad but I don't think he comes close to top 10 worst actors there

"Why does Klein, a guy whose entire ego is wrapped up in being the heart of the Dems, interact with a guy who he knows is against everything he stands for"

I don't think he likes Shapiro, he just thinks that this is what you do.

GPT-Ern Malley @denam.bsky.social · 1d

This is understanding Klein, not Sulzberger. He's not told from on high to interview Ben Shapiro, he chose that

GPT-Ern Malley @denam.bsky.social · 1d

This is in large part why they're making that decision. It's a bad one, and in part a result of the right realizing a dual front of civility for some and naked hatred for others works. It's Everything is Group Project mind

So the people who play that game get it played back to them while those who don't are seen as aberrant even if the former are breaking all sorts of other, more important principles

GPT-Ern Malley @denam.bsky.social · 1d

I think people are massively over reading into why the media prefers talking with right wing lunatics over shit slingers to their left, because "acting civilly to people you otherwise hate" is considered table stakes for upper middle class education jobs and this is all face to face interactions

Fury is forgiven for its important contribution to memes though

GPT-Ern Malley @denam.bsky.social · 1d

Absolutely nobody who isn't hyper tuned in has heard of this

Well Pelosi and Milley did it so it can't be that hard right?

GPT-Ern Malley @denam.bsky.social · 1d

Having a Fund for Liberal Democracy who funds people with a mandate to "elect Dems, beat Rs, don't cause intraparty fights" is good but also very hard and vulnerable to ratfinks

GPT-Ern Malley @denam.bsky.social · 1d

I think this is a harder than it seems problem and does point to us needing to overhaul how text messaging and email fundraising works in order to avoid burnout. We should have a Dem News list that you are not allowed to fundraise off of an solely exists to message the base.

I mean where's the money coming from? Trying to solve the Democratic Voice from an institutional perspective, we need funding for it and a way to keep people on mission without flaming out a la CAP. GOP has their billionaires and with it the golden handcuffs

GPT-Ern Malley @denam.bsky.social · 1d

Yes but the fact that they mostly employ hacks *who know they're hacks* gives the GOP establishment a strong lever of control; you're dead outside of us so toe the line and piss out the tent. I don't really know if that's replicable on the left!

GPT-Ern Malley @denam.bsky.social · 1d

You can make an argument that a lot of below-billionaire level libs should organize together to fund media because it's better than maxxing their donations to another long shot Senate candidate but I think that's a differently shaped problem.
