It's actually amazing to watch so many people get so mad that a white dude is using his privilege to soak up state capacity for violence.
Awwww he's not the exact same type of communist as you are? Well, I'm sure if you and your friends whine about it more online, that'll make you morally superior.

there are people with actually good politics who have been doing what he's doing for much longer and who understand it's best practice not log on and document your every move. he's obviously going to be so annoying about this the next time he sees someone complain about grocery prices or something

Every country (yes, including yours) has dipshit right wing authoritarians in it who only value liberal democracy as a means for acquiring power and allowing them to exist when defeated and treating them as a fifth column is absolutely necessary

Call me a grumpy old man, but I don't think it's a good thing that Larian has cultivated a fanbase whose first reaction, upon being shown a character, is to ask "CAN WE FUCK THEM!!!???"

kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life

Started playing Dragon Age: Veilguard, and naturally, I have thoughts about it.
First of all, whatever else you can say about the game, the character creator is *excellent*. It's certainly far better than Baldur's Gate 3's, at any rate.
The hair graphics and physics are particularly good:

'globalize the intifada' is motte-and-bailey shit, it's mostly people who want the thrill of being associated with violence but a deniability option when questioned.
I will say that "'globalize the Intifada' can't be antisemitic because 'Intifada' is in Arabic, a Semitic language" is an extra-special new stupid twist I didn't see coming

I'm getting serious "CDPR between The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077" vibes from this project.
NEW: I spoke to Larian boss Swen Vincke about their ambitions for their new RPG Divinity, cutting down development time, pressures from Baldur's Gate 3, why BG3 wouldn't have happened without Tencent, how Larian uses generative AI, and much more www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Rolling my eyes at the Divinity trailer. I thought that fantasy RPGs had moved beyond this edgy, grimdark nonsense after FIFTEEN YEARS of this stuff (remember the "Sex and Violence" trailer for Dragon Age: Origins?)
I guess I was mistaken.

underlying problem with a lot of pop culture and society generally is that people stopped believing that duty is a real thing
Man, remember when star trek knew it was a show about adults in the navy doing their duty as best they could see how, through a deep sense of devotion to cause and morality
