I’m generally an outsider, and I’m curious about if the Sahra split party is a contender and if not, if there are other organizations involved in the left?

Yep alright, they’re already cooked from the beginning

True true, a lot of filler was filled for GACHA reasons, especially like 3.0 and 3.2, I think I dissociated them from my mind a long time ago… But I’m not optimistic about 4.0, after all people were excited for 3.0 and look what happened.

Someone (maybe me in the future) should rewrite the pacing and stories into main story (focusing on breaking the cycle, and basically trimming all the non-cycle related Phainon/Cyrene plan to do so, and the astral express’ involvement) and separating like for example, Mydei and Tribios’ backstory on separate character stories when one act is finished, maybe each character gets their major strokes in the main, but the deep meandering and lore is put in the other stories to reduce bloat.

I genuinely think that there’s a good story buried between the Shaoji flowery language and story meandering, it just wasn’t profitable (typical…) and/or they didn’t care about visuals enough to impact profits which is also sad. I just wished that an HSR type game (easy to play, complex in aspects, also has a daily grind to have something to do in-between, like DNA gacha-less system but HSR gameplay) would pop up and have that complex political intrigue mixed with philosophy and culture from Earth distilled into an anime story (I am making kinda like that, but without like the big bucks that Hoyo writers get to also showcase visuals, and also I just want it from someone else) I’ll cherish

Uhhhh gacha game that’s Honkai Star Rail

I know I know but the story’s worth it…? (Or at least having enough themes jammed into it that gets me thinking)

Played 3.7 story and since I don’t like giving Reddit HSR content imma just:

3.0 to 3.7 was a rollercoaster from boring 10 hrs to like peak animation and battle so honestly, I’d just say to not play the game and just watch someone else’s gameplay since GACHA. Thinking about time travelling, gods, the nature of the universe, memories, and bonds, is cool and theory/lore exploration is my favourite part, wondering how it will all end (it won’t since GACHA but it’s fun to think about) and integrate that to my writing or how I think about stuff when it comes to other media.

Also I wish unlimited destruction on the IPC (Space Capitalists) and such a shame that some of my fav. characters are from there… Also, this is still a story that when looked from in the storytelling and engaging to actually play (not watch/read like a movie/anime) then it’s still worse than Belobog (Frozen Wasteland, City Bastion, in the game). But what can ya’ do, it’s a GACHA game…

“BUT WHAT ABOUT KHAMAS?!?!?!” but literally not even related to the damn question of “Venuezela regime change good?”

I unironically go there sometimes to check what they’re doing (dunking on libs or ironyposting) it’s like some of hexbear distilled into even more terminally online posting, which I find funny, it’s good too since that specific subreddit is more meme-based so I don’t have to (mostly) take what anyone says there seriously

Yeah the phone I’m using right now, it hasn’t had an update since about a year ago, released during the late pandemic era (2022), still running! It’s like, no shit, obviously if my phone still works and all my apps still work (which in most systems, software support is long after release, especially as progress is more incremental in the phone space nowadays) then I’ll keep using it!

Who’d want to bankrupt themselves for the damn economy??

How dare artists not let us buy their product and do whatever we want with it.

I mean… yes? Yes, I’m agreeing, that is a statement I completely agree with… hah.

Definitely. They’re more western left influenced/libbed up than the radicals at Bayan. It’s just that as of right now, we (communists, radicals like Bayan) temporarily align with the libs (including the explicitly Liberal Party and related) in kicking the BBM/DDS out of power, the real test of mass movement building is afterwards…

i was playing team fortress two still, and overall, I’ll say that like before, the players are a mixed bag in casual, and that I really should stop playing and listening to a video at the same time, prevents me from playing optimally and I can’t even process the video well, especially since it’s a multiplayer game…

Jeez, british politics are as depressing as the US, except it’s self-contained because they thankfully have little impact on the world nowadays… if the Green Party can pull and like unite the splits that’d be cool but I’m just wishfully thinking…

oh yeah this is one of the stuff the progressives (specifically Akbayan and their politicians) have been celebrating about. Do I think Alice Guo is what they say she is? Probably. Though, I’m curious on what other non-Filipinos think, since this has been touted as an anti-China victory, I think, from what I’ve been seeing.

giving kids access to game-making is… interesting.

to be fair, they wouldn’t be in government / exist if they weren’t less radical because of the suppression of communists there

that’s like bad economics even if you’re not anti-capitalist, like… buying in-game currency instead of… like… physical toys, physical devices, and other stuff you can physically use and get…? Like, for example, if you don’t play that gacha game you spent 100$ on, you… kinda wasted 'em, while your PSP from years back can probably still run if it hasn’t died yet

I have a feeling this will be very contentious and since I’m not exactly informed nor very connected to the politics in Greece, I’m just going to look at the comments 24h from now lol to see what others think

believing in sets of contradictory beliefs is kinda their whole thing y’know lol

I do hope in the future we can see more of Korean democracy visibly, but I understand why they’re secretive anyway.

Holy shit we are about to experience Iraq/Afganistan-style imperial invasions again…

oh is that the small snippet by Somail (Somali?) Mapper? Just checked it out, I’d post theirs if they did the full version, but it’s good too! Probably better, but I’d need the full version to process
