Control and Alan Wake are the only reason I even have a favorite game studio, and probably the only one I'd actually do a pre-order with just to support development.

Id buy them both again if I could

Well at least this means there's a 50% chance I won't need the retirement savings that Im not going to have

GEE I WONDER WHY THEY'RE BECOMING SO UNPOPULAR

The NCY dems may have nominated him, but the national party has been absolutely lothe to accept him.

Instead of backing their candidate, democrats have been undermining Mamdani with accusations of antisemitism.

Hell, because of the success of Mamdani, the Minneapolis dems just rescinded their nomination for Fateh over some bullshit procedural objections and now they dont even have a candidate on the ticket.

Their fingerprints are all over this.

Can't wait for democratic leadership to condemn Cuomo and endorse their nominee

Because they lack class consciousness, because they don't believe in the embodied power of capital as being distinct from the power of organized government.

The first step in any socialist movement is agitative propaganda to engender a sense of class consciousness.

Individuals give up their personal wealth every day for a variety of reasons, but the capitalist class writ large has never once been abolished or ceded power to the working class without explicit or implicit threat of violence.

But even then, a single person using their immense fortune to create a social benefit system is still a threat of violence against capital, and can be used to extract concessions from the capital class. Maybe you're thinking of violence as physical, but I'm using it to mean any great force capable of compelling action.

I agree that spending boatloads of money on propaganda is an effective way of dictating the terms of an election.

It's possible that you just don't agree that capital owners have more money and influence than the rest of the country by orders of magnitude, and that somehow if we just yell really really loudly that we can overcome that immense power differential.

"Abolish the capital class" is not an option on any democratic ballot i've ever seen.

Again, have you tried?

Every fuckin day, bud. It has quite literally never happened without it.

Yes, quite sure

Those are billion-dollar psyop campaigns run by the largest and most well-funded intelligence agencies in the world.

We need rate limiting for user comments, Jesus christ

Why not?

Because capital will never cede power without a threat of violence (implicit or otherwise).

China and Russia [...] did it all for PENNIES

 

Driving the news: On Wednesday, many Democratic lawmakers and officials either denounced Mamdani or notably declined to rally around him. Republicans — including President Trump — crowed about Democrats embracing a democratic socialist who has called for reduced police funding and sided with Palestinians in the Gaza war.

  • The top two Democratic leaders in Congress, Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, both New Yorkers, declined to endorse Mamdani even as they applauded his victory.

  • New York Rep. Laura Gillen, from Nassau County, called Mamdani the "absolute wrong choice for New York."

  • Rep. Tom Suozzi, also from Nassau County, said he had "serious concerns."

Major Democratic donors — who poured tens of millions into a Super PAC for Cuomo — were having private discussions Wednesday about whether to back an independent run by Cuomo in November's general election, or rally behind unpopular incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, who's also running as an independent.

I heard the altar call of the rocket man

as he pleaded on the mount

then were we like those who dream

as the tired tiger jumped through hoops of fire

one last time for the crowd

then were we like those who dream

I saw containerships of man's demise

ride tidal waves to hell

then were we like those who dream

and the whales that did swim by they did not blink

or wish us well

then were we like those who dreamed

all the stones that

broke yer bones won't

maim the soul inside you

time's jus a thing you live through baby

all the things that

make me sing are

jus songs I'm relearning

there's nothing here I'm earning

and on the 8th day man made a machine

likened to his image

then were we like those who dream

and he argued whether or whether not

it would kill and eat his village then were they like those who dream

all the stones that

broke yer bones won't

maim the soul within you time's just a thing you live through baby

all the things that

make me sing are

just songs I'm relearning

there's nothing here I'm earning

I saw the ministers of relevant humanity

trade cards

then were they like those who dream

and I looked into that valley and I knew it would be hard

then were we like those who dream

all the stones that

broke yer bones won't

maim the soul within you

time's just a thing you live through baby

all the things that

make me sing are

just songs I'm relearning

there's nothing here worth earning
