How, uh, “grounded” does it feel? Not as in setting or story, but how your character feels in the world. Are the NPCs fully static? Are there settlements? Crime? Can you pick up forks and other clutter? I’ve been following the game for a while but can’t make heads or tails of it in terms of immersion

No, just standard tomato sauce. It’s paired with curry seasoning fairly often but not always.

A personal favorite is:

  • Beef
  • Pork
  • Mushrooms
  • Bearnaise sauce (suuuper common condiment here, basically as widespread as mayo or ketchup)
  • Banana
  • Onion and/or bell peppers

Most swedes are legitimately shook when they learn that our pizzas are unhinged compared to the rest of the world. It’s so ubiquitous here we literally don’t reflect on the fact that it could be seen as weird.

Also banana on pizza goes unbelievably hard

Can you explain? Sounds interesting

Man i like Lorenz but I wish this genre of almost-there journalists would just slay the “authoritarianism” brainworm. It would benefit their analysis to such an incredible degree.

This lines up with my thinking. Thank you for clarifying!

Oh yeah I am not arguing BE’s position, I don’t particularly care. I’m more asking for my own count if there are reasons to be critical of Cuba as an AES project (moreso than others), and how that would tie into being a Trot position etc.

[–] IvarK@hexbear.net 15 points 1 month ago (9 children)

Well ok, let me rephrase: Is support of Cuba not an ML position?

[–] IvarK@hexbear.net 19 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (13 children)

Is it trot to believe in Cuba as a bastion of socialism in the “west”?

Edit: Genuine question, asking in good faith here

I had no idea! Exciting!

Already played wotr (twice). What really impressed me about RT was more the mechanics. Writing and all was great too (better than wotr imo) but the mechanics are truly excellent

 

I’m really into horror audio dramas and/or anthology podcasts. Because of this I’ve burned through so many over the past year or two I feel like I’m scraping the bottom of the barrel, which sucks

Ones i like (kind of ordered by how much i like them):

  • Knifepoint Horror
  • Acephale
  • The Silt Verses (and I Am in Eskew)
  • We’re Not Meant To Know
  • Magnus Archives
  • Malevolent
  • Modes of Thought in Anterran Literature
  • Archive 81 season 3
  • Sleep Wake cycle (haven’t tried all of their pods yet, they’re kind of a lot)
  • Ghost Wax (kinda kid but more good than bad)

Ones I DIDN’T like:

  • Tower 4
  • Welcome to Nightvale
  • Road of Shadows
  • Hello from the Hallowoods
  • Wrong Station (occasionally good)
  • The White Vault (not horrible but idk a bit corny somehow)
  • Alice is Dead
  • Lovecraft Investigations (it was fine but idk turned too thriller)
  • The Black Tapes (not a fan of the overproduction)

Basically I like shows that

  • Have enough faith in their writing to not rely on a thick coat of quippy self-aware sarcasm marvel slop
  • Are heavy on atmosphere, focus on the fiction, not on the host and their haunted podcast studio or whatever
  • Do not devolve into action hollywood thrillers UNLESS the writing is good enough to support it after a couple of seasons of more horror leaning stuff

Oh and if you want recs from me just ask and you shall receive I’m dying to talk about these shows kitty-cri-screm
