Bottom right. Whispering You a Love Song. It's an actual lesbian romance story. The anime is not the most well done anime in the world (I still find it watchable though) so if you're interested the manga is more recommended.

I think they kinda made that announcement to tell people they haven't forgotten about the franchise, because there were fans upset that they were hearing nothing about it at all. But since they made it, it's now annoying that it's been so long. One of those damned if you do, damned if you don't things. I would have preferred TES 6 instead of two Fallouts in a row (4 and 76), but at least it's now their next project.

Lmao the manga’s actually pretty good and you wouldn’t even expect it. I even started liking the characters, and was annoyed when volume 2 kinda dropped them. But I mean, you wouldn’t expect Das Kapital to even have any characters.

Ah, more Stormtroopers, just in time for Star Wars day.

That's just a shot-for-shot remake of Triumph of the Will

Agree 100%

I was actually impressed by the level of RPG mechanics they put in this, the character creation alone is much more in depth than Skyrim's (although they are both still some of the lightest RPGs out there). In terms of those aspects it's better than Skyrim. But I have more fun in Skyrim than Starfield because I'm constantly engaged with the game systems: walking, leveling, finding quests and dialogue. I wish Starfield was close to Skyrim like this.

He's right though. The main thing I've seen people complain about is how separated all the zones are, linked by menus and loading screens. People generally know Bethesda games as free and open to explore, where just picking a direction to walk in could lead to interesting encounters and new quests.

I see that they have a free version. Is this also good? I’m assuming no, but should ask anyways.

What I mean by this is that there is no choice for capitalists but participate in our economic system. If a "nice" business owner tries to be fair to their workers, give them the full value of their labor, etc., then they will be out-competed by a company that does not. As long as workers continue working for a company (no strike or anything), then the safest course for a business to take is maximum profit and wage exploitation. This way, they keep wages down, their shareholders are happy, etc. Now, there's always a balancing act they put on so that workers don't realize this, be that platitudes like game rooms at tech start-ups, all the way to traditional methods like raising wages.

Because of this, businesses will naturally gravitate toward anti-worker practice. As late-stage capitalism progresses, this becomes even more brutal. Now the biggest companies maintain their competitive advantage by lobbying, PACs, propaganda, owning the news stations. Joe Biden and Donald Trump both have lavish dinners with donors and business owners who discuss politics and national policy. And because these business owners are from Microsoft and Raytheon, they further America's goals (substitute America for any Capitalist country too). The capitalist class has centralized power because any individual in the class who tries to steer policy toward worker protections and limits on their own class are quickly out-competed.

I'm basing this analysis on some of the later chapters of Capital like Vol. 1, Ch. 25, Section 2 (I skimmed this just now to make sure I could word this response correctly). I do recommend the entirety of Capital for a scientific breakdown of worker power and commodity production. Hexbear has a reading group for the book going on now.

You say "centralized control" but that doesn't really mean anything. After all, the capitalist class already have centralized their power, and their class interests mean they structure every feature of both business and government to keep it that way. Socialism, as defined by a dictatorship of the proletariat, upends this class dynamic entirely. So no, socialism does not "require centralized control" just because a classless society would utilize central planning efficiency to meet societal goals. This is fundamentally, scientifically different from the current system of bourgeoisie control.

Unironically it's just the post sorting algorithm. It was way better before federation, although I can't put my finger on why exactly. (Not to criticize our admins and tech people who work on that stuff behind the scenes, I've also seen a ton of improvements and stuff too).

It's really good for about 10-20 hours, which is waaaaay too short for a grand strategy game. After that, every country feels too similar. There's a real problem with lack of flavor, because there are not enough unique events, mechanics, art, etc. Also, the war system was quite bad on release, but I hear it got better. All that being said, its really fun to play with your industries and trade, and it all works well and is decently intuitive. It's probably worth it on a decent sale (or pirated).

This definitely reads like a lawyer-written statement but I don't think they're lying about being anti-piracy, I kinda remember them always being cringe like that.

Continually proving yourself the most powerful Hexbearite, thank you for doing this.

Much appreciate the time you spent translating all that, thanks comrade.

She does good work. Shame about the unhinged bigotry though.

Lmao, history started in 2022 for you, didn’t it.
