What was that sound? Did you hear that? Wait here, I'm going to see what it was.

"Newtype ability isn't magic" is such a funny line to put in a trailer

It's pretty interesting that in English the word for "translate" (from one language to another) means moving from one place to another, but for example Chinese and Finnish use words relating to rotation instead, the opposite of translation. Do any languages use a metaphor for reflection or dilation for this?

This seems neat. Since I already looked into this, might as well post it here: The cheapest way to get the base game and the required DLC legally is through GOG, where they are on sale for ~16 units of currency, but pirating the GOG version seems like it would also work. No repack with the mod yet.

It's just yet another way video game genres are a mess, there really should be a different name for games with an RPG story structure and games with an RPG stats and equipment system.

She is not even officially the nominee yet and has no platform, declaring unquestioning loyalty like that now is literally just supporting a genocide

I just hate having to dig the hole each time

I think this is part of a larger pattern, where being against oppression in the abstract but at the same time against concrete liberation, or dismissing the possibility of liberation out of hand, is the most natural form of ideology for the moderate part of the oppressor, at least in times of relatively stable struggle.

It's going to be very funny going forward if the thing that happens doesn't get reversed

He tweeted it accidentally, he meant to set a reminder on his phone to tape the night's episode of Sailor Moon

 
 

In the early days of this site, it was common to flirt with the idea of running it more democratically. This was correctly deemed unfeasible during the Age of Struggle Sessions and the arbitrary dictatorship of the mods was cemented.

But maybe the problem wasn't democracy itself, but trying to jump the gun by modeling the site democracy after bourgeois or proletarian democracies. What we need to do is go back to the roots, reform the site to be more like ancient Athenian democracy.

I suggest the first reform is to implement a system of Ostrakismos, where once in a while there is a thread where we can name other users, and if one or more of these comments gets above a certain threshold of upvotes, the named user with the most upvotes on the comment gets banned for a year.

 
 

@Finger@hexbear.net interested in your take on this one
