Doc Hawkins posted:there is a specific feeling in investigating a space and slowly building a guess at what happened to the people who lived in it. it's not video-game-specific (there's installation/theater pieces that do the same thing), but it's not conveyable by any medium. Eh, those types of stories are so perfectly packaged that there's little room to explore the ideas presented further, or appreciate any new ones. If the story is being told entirely through small artifacts and details, a player is only going to be able to put together a vague outline of events. When the scope of the story is just small, like some minor family drama, what else is there to think about? It's better in Dark Souls because the outline of events doesn't really matter, they're just a backdrop to a more tangible theme of decline you experience by walking around a crumbling expansive world.

Assuming that any users politics is an amalgam of every other users beliefs is incorrect. If it were an actual political entity than sure, but lol at that idea.

seemed to me in retrospect that the corbyn project was essentially cooked when he was sabotaged in 2017 and unable to win the election. after that election, there was daylight for remain liberals to harden their position and make it impossible for corbyn to thread the needle without the rupture of the party that happened. similar to how we in the USA are basically living in the shadow of the failure of first 2 years of the Obama presidency. everything post 2009-2010 is a reflection of the decisions made in those years.

Optimus Subprime posted:seemed to me in retrospect that the corbyn project was essentially cooked when he was sabotaged in 2017 and unable to win the election it cannot be understated how loving damaged he was by his own party, in which the careerists made a consistent organized effort to harm him but that follows the historical precedent: an unlikely good person with strong political convictions and great consistency is put into the stage and has the factors to rally a mobilization, bringing the establishment to put them down as soon as able and counting with the liberal flank to weaken its appeal or outright sabotage the most important aspect forward is to galvanize a fighting sentiment in that regard, to understand that socialism is a road to peace built through conflict, and that you can be a fundamentally decent human being but also completely willing to get stuck in against traitorous shitheads (to begin with)

the whole carter-felix thing started months ago because carter follow-policed felix because some guy Felix follows was giving lee poo poo for being a rape victim, and Felix decided to try and be funny about it instead of just loving ignore it. idk, Carter might be extremely cringey on Twitter and probably should stop posting forever, but by any sane metric he also done a lot more material work for socialism as a political force than felix has, so maybe felix would be better helped by not trying to get sick dunks

What, like a business partner? Or maybe he's from Texas? Also, didn't Lee start this whole drama by making GBS threads on Felix for following someone not-approved-of?

Carter needs to get over twitter crap and stop being such a drama queen but he's also 100% right about felix. maybe don't give poo poo to the politician who's actually trying to do something, guy who can't be bothered to show up to his own podcast half the time

Lee Carter is a weirdo on twitter. In his defense state legislators are some of the most deranged elected officials in the US, just behind sheriffs. He's probably one of the more normal ones in office.

She even drops a few names and projects that were obvious game scams back in the day. And lmao that they both roast both Gone Home and Firewatch I don't think either of those are really bad things but lol the project the Masterclass guy was in for was absolutely just trying to follow on. It's a good episode, though, and I really liked it.
