Power? Control? Indoctrination and lack of critical thinking skills to escape it? Some kind of latent fear where they think if they don’t come out on top someone will, treating life as a zero sum game? There’s lots of potential reasons for people to act this way but it probably depends on the individual. I’m not comfortable painting with a super wide brush here because its dehumanizing, and these people are human. Reprehensible? Perhaps, but still human.

We can wax philosophic about why anyone does the things they do, but in the end it doesn’t matter why they do what they do, it matters what they do and what actions we can take to try and improve our own lives and the lives of the people we care about.

The right wing is afraid of a totalitarian dystopia?

Lol, no they’re not. They salivate at the thought of having a totalitarian dystopia where they’re on top. This is just more projection shit on their part. If anything, 15 minute cities deradicalize people by putting them in proximity to more diversity, make people friendlier by making them get to know their neighbors better, and financially better off because they’re not forced to buy and maintain a vehicle to live a healthy life.

But fascists can’t put the boot on your neck as easily if you have more wiggle room with money or solidarity with the working class, so of course they’re afraid of it.

far right group advocates for website that caters to far right groups

not even remotely a surprise to me, beyond I guess the fact that the taliban would have said anything at all about it

A fence is someone who knowingly purchases stolen goods, typically for less than retail price.

Downvote are disabled on this instance. Its not a bug, its a feature!

It’s dead for me right now. I’ll miss her.

I disagree. You need to fix your relationship with your employees and overuse of crunch. I won’t buy any of your shit until horror stories stop coming out of your studio. Same deal with Blizzard, did they even fire the rape guy?

There wasn’t a place in the application to write extra notes, so I’ll slap em here.

I’d be willing to moderate the anime community but I wouldn’t want to be head mod, primarily because I don’t want to be responsible for the community guidelines. I think it’d be very nice to have a community that actually moderates transphobic slur usage in the anime community, but this is a touchy subject in the anime community for some reason. I prefer to have someone else to defer to on these kinds of decisions though, because I feel like I can be pretty uptight about stuff.

It’s a lot more forgiving than I make it sound, getting disease usually just means your stats go up less. Just for the love of god don’t leave it all to Tauemon, he’s wise beyond his years but he is not good at executing on that knowledge. I recommend holding off on looking up an optimal rice farming guide until you’re to the point where you can’t progress at all anymore, which for me was before the final boss.

Also, there’s an easy difficulty for both farming and combat individually (and that you can select at any time), so if you’d rather focus on one or the other you can!

Honestly? Yes, kinda. Ancestry is a lot more a cultural phenomenon than a genetic one.

So that’s why RF5 is so janky? Don’t get me wrong i’m playing it right now and deeply enjoying it, especially getting to see Doug and Margaret kicking around town again, but I have so many issues with this game lol.

The camera lags when you rotate 360 degrees around your character, sometimes the rocks that spawn on your field will be totally invisible until you save and reset, preventing you from tilling certain areas. I’m having some weird lighting issues too but that doesn’t bother me really.

On the bright side, they give you a lot of farming room quite fast if you play through the dungeons, and they finally made it possible to be a lesbian! How cruel fate is that allowed me to not get married to Margaret in RF4… For the record, I ended up with Vishnal.

I just finished Sakuna: of Rice and Ruin.

Its one of the best farming games I’ve ever played, but it’s also like… a real ass simulation game. You don’t get to grow whatever you want, you will grow rice and you’ll either like it or leave. Kept your paddy’s water level too high? Mold. Didn’t get rid of pests? Disease. Didn’t keep enough water in on a hot day? Uh oh, water evaporated and now your rice is under watered. If the waters too cold it won’t absorb nutrients right.

It’s also 50 percent a action rpg platformer, but don’t think you can get around doing the bare minimum in the farming just to play it: your stats are directly reliant on how good you rice farm. No level grinding through combat.

I really enjoyed it but I’m still not sure who the target demographic for this game was. How big is the overlap between “traditional rice farmers” and “action rpg enjoyers”? At any rate, I high key reccomend it if you think you could be interested in rice farming whatsoever, because the story is great too.

Do you have a suggestion for a replacement? I’ve been looking for something to write in and didn’t want to buy MS office.

Rune factory 4 actually came to PC as of 2021 so you don’t have to own a 3ds to play it anymore. I’m currently playing RF5, and I’m enjoying it.

You’re the man now dog!

Fallout: New Vegas is on the same engine and satisfies the dungeon crawl loop condition flawlessly. Additionally it’s one of the better written rpgs of it’s type with a ton to get invested in.

Oblivion is good if you can get around it’s mild clunkiness by today’s standards. Morrowind is supposed to be amazing if you can get around it’s clunkiness (though I’ve never been able to. maybe someday they’ll make a remaster)

In some of my worse moments, Amazon has genuinely recommended me a “these things bought together” purchase of a tank of helium, a plastic tube, and a tank regulator. Corporations will do literally anything for money.

Have an antigravity arrow.

Is that not what I was supposed to be calling them?

If it was too soon now then it was definitely too soon yesterday when people were making fun of it i’d think.

People can barely drive regular cars, there’s no FUCKIN way i trust them with flying cars
