Oh for sure people view the idea of being reduced to an object of the state apparently shockingly happily enough.

But we have a department of war that our dear leader of just got a peace medal and awards. Like the doublespeak is here. And we dont spit people out of bottles already premade for their role.
Department of education is run by an entertainer who also cuts budget for schools.

Its definitely a mix of them.
I think the world is 1984, but the vibes are desperate for the fake utopia of Brave New World.

Yeah, i rembered him going to the prole neighborhood and for some reason always put that into brave new world context from the apathy and squalor.

Plus definitely not a lack of drugs in 1984 just far more mundane.

Everyone talks to their phones instead of typing now, and like microphones and cameras are everywhere.
And we have let all infrastructure start to fail as long as it isnt a shiny thing rich people interact with.

I dunno man its getting pretty 1984.

( ꩜ ᯅ ꩜;)

“We need hype again, so fuck it, here is everyone in one movie, we will figure out the plot in the edit”

Euphoric. Drugs that make you euphoric.

This is how I meant it!

But definitely failed on the apathetic dystopian culture book when writing this.

I did. I just misremembered the plot and hoped everyone was so apathetic cause drugs.

Sorry to have failed you.

Yeah I thought I remembered a drug in 1984 but it is just gin and cigarettes and everyone’s brain making them apathetic.

So even closer to reality except for gen z.

Yeah sorry, the drug in 1984 is apparently just morphine and drinking yourself to death.

Wild how they both are so dystopian but 1984 is just straight up political fiction with like no SciFi and my brain was trying to add more

No one calls it a war when it just starts, that is for the history books. I think modern wars just look very different until the mass killing starts and then it becomes easy again.

Hitler had bombed his own government building and China and Japan had been fighting by 1933.
Honestly we could probably call this already a cold war since it has been using proxies, and kidnappings and select strikes if it never escalates to everyone, bu t I think history will look back at this as a time of war even if we dont say so now.

Ok so I definitely see a rye and strawberry drink being exceptional. And it looks good but if the drink was too sweet I am also intrigued what might fix it.

Like definitely bitters, but I am thinking just do tonic and like elderflower. As your soda.
Or hear me out, lilet blanc and absinthe or chartreuse.

I mean the game is literally about civilization and how they think it will chug on as a broken machine far past its natural life because it sacrifices the lives of those who live under it starting at the the bottom until the rot grows enough to take all but those that can’t see that it is dead.

Its actually a pretty cool tool for looking at civilization and even has a minimum wage machine in silksong.

As if everyone else isnt

The morons here are the teachers.

People don’t know what they dont know and haven’t been taught. We have been relying on this idea that each next generation just has what the previous generation knows. It isn’t a practice thing it is a we haven’t prepared the new for what the world has to offer.

We do this everywhere and blame the uneducated and point and laugh. Fuck that.
I can’t wait for the students to learn and be proud when they do.

Yeah computers are just like every child you will meet. Flawed by by a world and people that are not sane.

We can’t expect perfection or true reality from anything we create as they will have our flaws. We can make active constant effort to work at them but we dont do effort anymore. To much effort to maintain things so let’s pretend things can last forever or be replaced always.

So yeah. Expect it to be bad with race, women, ideology, passion, and even reality itself. Its us but faster.

Its like they are preemptively thanking him for saving capitalism because they believe he will.

Its wild how much the wealthy are willing to believe fantasy as much as the peasants.

Probably, but it is not a gaming device but a network managing one and its been running for way before bazzite and just the thought of having to configure it all again makes my skin crawl.

I dont even game on my Linux system and every time it updates I know I have a frustrating night ahead of me.

Maybe just an Ubuntu thing but actually my steam deck has had to roll back a few times as well… At least it had that option unlike Ubuntu.

Maybe it is because I am using mine for network related apps that they are always what breaks but man it seems like some major backed component gets a rewrite every so often just to see if it is better. I have had so many port issues and network issues it makes me want to be Amish. That and trying to get video thumbnails back that one time. Wasnt a total nightmare but weird that it took me days to figure out that apparently I had to delete the cache then reinstall ffmpegthumbnailer…
So, no, not alone. Hate updates. Hate them so much.

Have you tried Nemo by the way? Kinda like it better than Dolphin.

Yeah. Maybe. I know I will never try arch again and I thought Ubuntu was supposed to be one of the good ones but its been so much stress.
I dont want to have to completely redo my whole system and all the software just to try a different OS flavor
