I exhibited my passion project video game at a local con (~20k attendees) and got great feedback and got to see people have a fun time with my art c:

As a swede, yeah you’re so right

Serious question, asking in good faith here as a non-mandarin speaking westerner:

If mainstream, policy-guiding economics is so overwhelmingly western (neoclassical), why is China on such a wildly different economic trajectory compared to the contradictory hellscape of the west? Is it the applications of these horribly unmarxist economics? Is it the remnants of mao-era policies? I’m very ignorant on this, but i’d love to learn more

“…shy guys (Jews)” is fucking sending me. What an absolute all-timer of a sentence

How, uh, “grounded” does it feel? Not as in setting or story, but how your character feels in the world. Are the NPCs fully static? Are there settlements? Crime? Can you pick up forks and other clutter? I’ve been following the game for a while but can’t make heads or tails of it in terms of immersion

Can you explain? Sounds interesting

Man i like Lorenz but I wish this genre of almost-there journalists would just slay the “authoritarianism” brainworm. It would benefit their analysis to such an incredible degree.

This lines up with my thinking. Thank you for clarifying!

I see! Thank you for your patience in responding <3

Oh yeah I am not arguing BE’s position, I don’t particularly care. I’m more asking for my own count if there are reasons to be critical of Cuba as an AES project (moreso than others), and how that would tie into being a Trot position etc.

Well ok, let me rephrase: Is support of Cuba not an ML position?

Is it trot to believe in Cuba as a bastion of socialism in the “west”?

Edit: Genuine question, asking in good faith here

I had no idea! Exciting!

Already played wotr (twice). What really impressed me about RT was more the mechanics. Writing and all was great too (better than wotr imo) but the mechanics are truly excellent

Finished Rogue Trader recently, shit goes so incredibly hard. Going back for my first real BG3 playthrough since release and while it’s still great, it REALLY highlights the strengths of Rogue Trader

This made me snort laugh

I’m sorry to keep NL-posting but there’s a reason he’s like the only youtuber/streamer with emotes on here. He’s simply the GOAT of being a nice well-rounded person who is also actually funny.

Do you have a source on the quadrillions part? I thought deep sea lil freaky dudes like that were all rare n stuff?

GOOD post

Omg I had a Karius & Baktus audiobook, i legit thought i was the only living person who knew of it 💀
