In dark souls 2 you could use a special little mini white stone to play co-op whether the boss is dead in the hosts world or not, something I don't believe you can do in dark souls 1 and I miss it. It's one thing to do the level by yourself and get the items, leaving the boss alive... but you can't kill any bosses solo, or else you're not really co-oping at all.

Dark Souls 2 has the gender swap coffin. It's just a coffin in a corner of the starting area, and if you hop into it it swaps your character's gender. Absolutely no explanation for it. You might not even notice it for a while until you change your armor. GOTY

Absolutely no explanation for it. You might not even notice it for a while until you change your armor. You can get the gender swap belt pretty much first thing in Baldur's Gate, a game released in 1998. You should ask Arivia for the further implications of this, though. Professor Beetus posted:Are you saying we should ban video games because they are awful? Or that efforts to ban video games are awful? Quite recently I had a game of Master of Orion where my empire was mostly the Klackon, whom I had enslaved early on. My starting race was the Psilon, who are weak and not very good at work, so it made perfect sense to me to just enslave the race right next to me. Of course the game fluff makes it sound like I "liberated" them and made them all happier, but really? It's not a very good message to send.

Outright probing people for a day for disagreeing you within the thread is a lovely thing to do Fritz. We all have to say we trust the government or we get smacked guys step in line. Or maybe just the perfidious c-spam postershave to do that. Posting in two places is incredibly suspicious Harold Fjord fucked around with this message at 14:21 on Feb 15, 2023 |

Provide citations but not too many I don't want to read all that I'm just going to ban you if you give me too much evidence I'm wrong. you have to provide exactly the right amount of evidence. No one can tell you whether it's enough of evidence until they dismiss you or ban you. Some catch

Misinformation and propaganda happen under other systems... and they drat sure happen in capitalism too. What narratives capture us, how things are framed. Power is going to use the power it has to retain that power. It would be irresponsible not to. Whether it's the government or just a corporation trying to profit. Everybody's debate clubbing it up, which yeah that's the thread, but I think it's healthy to have some skepticism towards any information filtered through government channels, or yes even the "main stream media". Doesn't mean it's all a lie or part of some grand plot, but only a credulous fool could think you haven't been or won't be deceived. Anyway talk keeps going back to "how they handled the derailment" but the conditions that allowed it to happen are the example of failure. Or how about climate scientists repeatedly warning disaster and unimaginable consequence if we don't make a lot of difficult changes? We believe the science! We are not making those changes however, it would be very disruptive. At the end of the day theres no happy answer regarding the climate anyway, certainly not one the masses, the market, or our leaders would accept. It's not a conspiracy, this is just what's easiest and most comfortable for us. Reap what you sow and all. Well that's my coffee finished gotta get dressed for work. I hope the way we live ceases to exist sooner rather than later, but until then they could at least release dark souls 2 for switch.

The thing about making everything about revolutionary marxism (selec's "project" [lol] of crushing capitalism) is that USCE is supposed to be a thread about US Politics. Revolutionary communism is not part of US Politics, it's political theory. It is not a popular ideology here, it is not going to happen any time soon by any plausible mechanism, and it would be fiercely rejected to the point of open insurrection by at least 30% of the population. It's not the solution to any of our problems. If your solution to ecological disasters is "end capitalism  " then in the actual, real-world context of US Politics, you're saying "don't even bother solving it."Like, there is a thing called US Politics, and there are disagreements within it, I invite you participate sometime.

This is also why you can't go into the China thread and talk about capitalism and how it would be better for them. They're a communist country so please respect that.

However, it doesn't strike me as unreasonable to also point out lamentable situations caused by capitalism working as intended. After Reagan and Thatcher, a lot of the political establishment (for lack of a better word) in Europe also followed suit and began dismantling what were seen in the previous century as important, egalitarian systems. Capitalism can be brought to heel, as it were, at least to some extent, by creating a powerful government and more importantly one willing to govern! Sadly the US seems hell-bent on "drowning their government in the bath-tub" as that one thinker put it, and that's something to discuss, IMO. Also luxury gay space communism for all, thank you and good day.
