    Pat saying the core message of Disco Elysium is that "communism is for losers" is either one of the stupidest things I've ever heard or one of the smartest, and given he got the World's Most Laughable Centrist achievement, I'm leaning towards the former.

    IIRC some of the inner sphere powers are pretty patriarchal? I recall there being noble houses with political marriages, which were meant to evoke medieval european ones, and most rulers being men which implies male succession.

    I would simply learn that communism was good after a very short time in the camp so I got released faster, but I guess I'm built different.

    I usually see the criticism that it'll strengthen political parties because you'll be less able to vote for specific candidates. These people then admit that they don't care about anything other than which party the candidates belong to if pressed.

    I have no idea what they're supposed to taste like, but for me even like a few slivers of beet in a salad will just fill my mouth with a revolting taste of dirt. My mom didn't think it was real and kept trying to hide beets in my food when I was a kid, and only gave up when I set up a blind taste-test to convince her lol.

  • Everybody knows that the american civic religion places a lot of emphasis on our "democracy" as it exists, so we should set up something that will let people in the politics fandom get all of the excitement out of their system without actually getting in the way of important governing decisions. The actual elections will be on entirely separate dates with minimal fanfare. The show elections will have the non-stop campaigning and press events everyone's used to, but nobody elected will have any political power. On MSM talkshows and the like, they'll only be allowed to talk about things happening on the fake side of things. Mentioning _real_ politics will carry a penalty of having to sort rocks in a quarry (or similar task in regions lacking sufficient rocks) for 1 hour per time mentioned. In terms of subjects, they can argue over whether we're abolishing the value form too quickly or too slowly, or if outdoor cats should be legal. They'll constantly go on about national unity and how we're too divided while agreeing about 99% of things.

    TFW you're halfway through converting and painting a miniature when its rules are removed from the game ![boohoo](https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fhexbear.net%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2F077d028f-6bc9-4cfa-a52c-444ecc3bdd04.png "emoji boohoo"). Oh well, now it's a tech priest proxy. It has parts from 5 minis, bonus points to anyone who can guess them.

    Interesting video, sadly the presenter is a frustrating liberal who refuses, whether out of sincere belief or optics concerns, to condemn NATO. Also uses fun phrases like "when Hamas attacked Israel on Oct 7th". Edit: also the "call to action" at the end is laughable liberal claptrap. There is no stopping the military from doing something so long as the games industry exists under capitalism, because the military has _INFINITE MONEY_ to tempt people into working for them.

    A 2 hour long video on the themes of Khorne and Chaos as false consciousness opposed to revolutionary violence? Yes, I think I _will_ watch this while eating leftover pizza for breakfast.

    Seems like there aren't a lot of typical Elden Ring dungeons, just overworld stuff and then bigger dungeons for the more important bosses. Performance is _really_ bad so far. Died to the Parade Lion while it was at 1HP, Freja secured the kill just before I timed out, hell yeah, I'll take it.

    Slowly working my way through a _BUNCH_ of vehicles and finally decided to bite the bullet and do the camo. Still a lot of work to go, but this is a huge jump in terms of _looking_ done. Masking tape took 8x longer to put on than actually painting did. As someone new to an airbrush, I must say that it's definitely faster and smoother than using a brush, but I really need to improve my aim. There's some nasty overspray in various places which is going to have to be touched up by hand, but I'm generally very happy with this.

    and uninstalled immediately. Did all the faction quests + main storyline. None are worth playing. I almost regret pirating it at all. Thank you todd.

    Title. Just for walking around. Looking for something waterproof so I can wear them in rain or maybe light snow. Last time I bought some new balance sneakers and they're full of cracks and tearing apart at the seams after a little over a year. I hate that everything is designed to fail immediately ![oooaaaaaaauhhh](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/22951af8-194b-4c32-abe2-6f93aaa4808b.gif "emoji oooaaaaaaauhhh")

    Hasn't been one of these in a while. ![](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/3133514a-45cd-4163-b8ae-0d77eabbf0f2.png) Really gotta wonder why they were lying about the fire devil being the justice devil if public safety has the devil namer. How many chapters can Fujimoto stretch the Yoshida/Asa fight? My money's on another five.

    And had a pretty good time! Definitely seemed shorter than our games of 40k at around 2.5 hours, even though it was our first game. Tried using 9e Tempest of War missions which was probably a mistake as most of them don't make sense with alternating activations lol (and my opponent was guaranteed victory when he drew Raise Banner, Secure No Man's Land, and Tempting Target _all on the same turn_). Most of the proxies made sense, though there's the odd weirdness like primaris units having 2+ saves but still only one wound. Other thoughts: Tanks felt super tough but otherwise weak unless you spend tons of points on upgrading the main guns, which was disappointing. 2k points definitely felt low. Psykers were more complex but pretty fun. The decision of whether to activate what you wanted or something that would probably die if you didn't activate it _right now_ really added some extra pressure that I enjoyed. RIP my Manticore that died first activation to a Scouted ATV with a Deadly (6) multimelta. Final Score: Imperial Guard 65 - Space Marines 78

    Saw a new 20-story development is going up nearby and checked out prices. Mao should have killed more landlords.
