Yeah iirc stenzek had some code that hadn't made it to the public branch yet and the retroarch devs took it, he said they plagiarized him, they harassed him for a bit after that leading to him quitting duckstation. He started taking community PRs again eventually and I believe works on pcsx2 now but we really almost lost a really good emudev.
From what I've seen valve is implementing anti competitive practices here, the devs wanted to release their games at a lower price on platforms that give devs a bigger cut of the sales but valve doesn't allow devs to sell games at a lower base price on other platforms.
I was on the monster hunter subreddit yesterday and someone made a post saying a mechanic added by the dlc wasn't as necessary to use as people said it was (correct BTW it's a nice dps boost but I wouldn't say it's a hard requirement). The entire thread was just shitting on the poster and anyone else who said yeah you won't kill monsters in 5-10 minutes but you can still clear in like 15 and the same is true about not having super optimal hunting gear etc. I've always avoided online play as I play them casually and don't really want the pressure of having to do well for the sake of randos and wow did that thread confirm my worst nightmares. It honestly sucks cuz I avoid pretty much all coop in online games for that reason even though they're my favorite kind of games.
I did the last presidential but not the midterm, some people say vote in local shit since you get candidates who aren't ghouls and while I'm sure that's true somewhere it sure isn't the case for me. I voted psl Gloria La Riva, was initially gonna do green party but thought if I'm doing 3rd party might as well do the one that actually aligns with my beliefs since there's no shot they win anyways. I've moved now so seems kinda pointless to register just to do 3rd party so I won't unless there's a ballot measure worth voting for.
The classic mocs are the exact style of shoe I've been trying to find. It's way too pricy for me at the moment but thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
I feel like square has to lose money on it, they're still dumping money into nft games and haven't released anything yet while it's shown to be wildly unpopular among what has released.
To be fair the sub has essentially devolved into posting anti China and USSR stuff instead of things that actually belong there an given the new head mod saying they are an anarchist and tankies btfo I'd assume you just get branded as a tankie for a lot of things now.
It's been a bit so my memory of the plot is fuzzy but to my knowledge it's all biblical allusions, the husband is god, the mother is the earth, the baby is jesus. The earth gets destroyed by humans Jesus dies for their sins and the earth is reborn to presumably get fucked up by people again. Some climate change stuff too I guess.
Unfortunately the sub is still horrible, I saw a post while scrolling for drama that said nazi waifus are the best waifus and it had almost 500 upvotes.
Some YouTube / streamer personality who does like leftist rants and (maybe?) debates. Kinda like dirtbag left I guess. He doesn't have entirely shitty views but boy are there some bad ones, especially when it comes to doing intersectionality with your leftist views.
You can find some clips of the bad takes in this thread.
I think there are merits to the idea but ultimately I don't think it would be worth doing on this site. Like we should be able to convert others to support socialism, its the only way we'll ever get it but the benefit I got from the chapo sub was being exposed to the examples of the damage done by capitalism ( coup in bolivia, war torn regions, people dying domestically due to no health care, etc.) and if we started debating conservatives I think it would dilute a lot of that. An even bigger concern I have is that there's no way conservatives would stick to just debating economic systems and they would absolutely start having people justify the existence of minorities. Some people saw the sub as a genuine safe space for them and I don't think we should take that away.
Quick addition, people should absolutely consume media outside of this site and I think those who want debates can have them elsewhere, we'll probably have struggle sessions of our own anyways.
Yeah that's definitely one I've seen thrown around, I've actually compiled a list from various sources and would love feedback on it if you wouldn't mind.
Principles of Communism - Engels
Karl Marx - Lenin
Socialism: Utopian and Scientific - Engels
Wage, Labour and Capital - Marx
State and Revolution - Lenin
Capitalist Realism - Fisher
and then I'm thinking of throwing in some sort of history book (currently thinking A People's History of the United States) that talks about all the imperialism America does since it gives him a good foundation to defend any criticisms of the US he might make to other people. Then as some more long term stuff I'm thinking Lenin's "Imperialism, The Highest Form of Capitalism" and some form of media criticism a la Chomsky's "Manufacturing Consent" or Parenti's "Inventing Reality".
