  • I was thinking of this very thing the other day. Because I was thinking about Solar Punk, and the idealism that people will trade one set of talents for another. Yet in my head, I thought - once we started settling lands and owning things (basically transitioning to agrarian lifestyles) we left many of our egalitarian ways behind. I am not saying that communities that share can’t exist. I am just thinking about how security tends to come with a series of costs that many will labor their entire lives over just to have a sliver.

    I am too tired to give a deeper read on the summary (I read it but things are flying from my head). I have just had so many conflicting thoughts as of late that I have been trying to move through. I think because often I love the ideal of equitable acts, but I do not understand how they can reasonably be applied en masse without large changes. Which I think is the hope of automation, but the reality tends to be much bleaker because capitalism.



  • I think they’re doing what they have to do to be honest. I don’t like that they fired everyone. I don’t like what they’ve done to their publishing. I am not particularly interested in buying their things anymore. I think a part of that is because they started so whimsically. Some of my favorite games of all time have come from the bundles. Things have changed, but every fudgin’ thing in this world has gone up. So clearly, even with a skeleton crew (that’s what they have to be running, right?) they more than likely were going to raise the price. Because they gotta do that capitalist thing.

    I don’t like it. I have never liked it. I think this is more of a “is what it is” thing. For a hobby, it gives you a smattering of games for typically the price of one, on sale. It’s freakin’ stupid as hey-sauce it’s a subscription. Let alone that you need to jumpy through an insane amount of hoops to get your games/unsubscribe. My gal grabbed the one with The Thaumaturge recently, so I saw the lot first hand.

    I think they really need to re-evaluate their next few steps however, or they will basically be nullified by whatever is next. If there is a what’s next, in gaming bundles. Not sure. I just tend to buy what I like, and what I like is weird.




  • Someone else gave me this and I was headbanging my way through it until I saw your post. Cause you’re pretty much my favorite poster on here. I knew I had to take a listen. Thank you!

    I love the underwater feel of the fourth track. Reminds me of a time and place far gone. I am glad people are still making music like this. It’s really clean and quite simple. Got something good from the Ambience genre?



  • I feel like there’s a very clear message here that people should be respected for who they are. Feminism as far as I know has two very separate major sects, but I also haven’t studied it in a very long time. There’s difference feminism which believes that there are intrinsic biological differences between the sexes, but that these differences do not equate to any being superior. Then there is equality feminism which focuses more on the fact that humans are a diverse range of individuals and that the best individual for any given task should be allowed to perform it.

    I think a lot of feminism focuses on gender to be honest. Even difference feminist. I think a lot of that terfy stuff comes from that. But also all minorities tend to face adversities, and I think a lot of women feel that transwomen minimize their experience through existance? I don’t know. I am not a terf. I can’t really tell you, although I have mulled it over because some very intelligent people have a lot of anger towards transwomen (mostly, I said it before but I think a lot of people don’t even think transmen exist or something).

    Adding to the layers, non-binary people break their brains.

    I think, as you can see over on the side - it looks like this place is for all folks and is trying to just create a safe space for people to explore and express themselves beyond their sex. Or as their sex. Just however they want. Feminism tends to be centered as a cis-ish woman-centric experience. This supersedes that.

    Also if I offended anyone, apologies! Was just my take.


  • All of this, so much fun! The Dykes to Watch out for homage. The gay touch thing. Bottles, cause how you gunna bro out without? The fact that the game never gets watched. All so real.

    The art rocks my world too! I hate those damn puffy sleeved shirts though. I don’t wanna rock the medieval peasant look, but the sleeves won’t die. Puffy sleeved crop-top. WHY!? Actually, kinda…get it…but mostly…don’t.


  • Got it working, chose Option 2. This is good brain fewd. Going back for the first later. Thank you!

    *Realized there was no way I’d remember to go back so I loaded up the other guy and had a chuckle. Thank you, you goof!

    I liked this entire album, but as I rounded to the end and heard Sweet Silence it started to get a bit too noisy for me? Maybe because I am winding down, but I figured I would come back and give you the so and such. I had fun banging my head through the entire thing though. Things were getting a bit too Mr. Bungle-y for me towards the end.
