Serious mod abuse in this thread. Removing a lot of posts that don't actually break any rules.

Like I get that you have to ensure that people follow the rules, but you're waaaaaay overstepping that line.

Edit: seems to have calmed down a few hours after I posted this, now comments aren't getting removed unless they actually break the rules, as far as I can tell.

Wait, wait, so the right wingers also want the evil CEOs to be destroyed, it's not just the lefties???

The fuck are we fighting about, then?

No war but class war.

That's not what that word means.

So one of my group had us fight a Garbage Mound which was a custom shambling mound. To hit it, players had to roll under its AC. Thankfully our friend Kevin rolled 1,2,5,1 and soloed it.

Sure but it's still generally a leftist position, even if it's not a common or popular one.

Yeah, but remember the honey and vinegar metaphor.

Yeah drag, we probably should. More education is pretty much always good

If you read their other posts, they're against huge corporations and for a planned economy, so they agree with leftists and just don't know it.

Words like psychopath have a common usage for people not in psychology/psychiatry. I'm sorry that we're not meeting the clinical definition that you want, but I don't think ranting about it all over Lemmy is going to help anything.

When the average nonspecialist individual thinks "psychopath" they think of someone like Hannibal Lecter, who is dangerous and must be locked up to prevent them harming others, and that's not going to change from a short form text post. It would take a semester of psychology.

Anecdotal, but most people I know with conservative parents are leftists.

In a perfect world, that would be ideal. But for at least 50 years, capital has been buying the legislators and we're backsliding even further from positive change. Without the threat, there's no reason for them to let things change for the better for the rest of us.

She wouldn't like it, but she'd understand.

This would be ideal but I'm skeptical that it's actually possible. Bribes are cheaper than taxes, so I think they'd likely just prevent the taxes from happening by greasing the correct palms.

Nah, some of us just see that they buy the elections so that we can't vote for change. And they buy the judges so we can't sue for change. And they buy the media so we can't speak for change. So now we're exploring the extremely distasteful option because all other avenues for change have been blocked

I used to disagree with this concept, but then I discovered how Control implements difficulty. The game is hard, and that cannot be changed, but at any time one can pause the game, turn on assist mode, and become unkillable. And the key to this is after one gets past that really frustrating section, they can turn off the "cheats".

That would work for Elden Ring.

Probably "call an ambulance... But not for me"

What's anarchy? If you're saying you're against it, you need to be able to say what it is. Otherwise your response is without value.

No, you're arguing against what you think anarchy is

And your preconception is false.

Banana Nababa - like an old 8 bit action platformer, but it's just the bosses

Control has been really good so far, but the pacing of the difficulty is really wonky. Everything is a breeze, right up until something is damn near impossible. So I keep starting and stopping it.
