You probably already know the join-lemmy.org instance picker, but in case you don’t, here it is:

Welcome, friend!

I’d advice you to be cautious with lemmy.world, it’s turning into a new Reddit

(and it’s bad for the network/federation to have such large centralised instances anyway. So you’d help keep the network healthy by choosing an instance besides .ml and .world)

uuu you are in for an adventure with so much replayability

and as some other comment said: even “failed” checks lead to interesting outcomes

this kinda made my morning. Thx ^w^

just FYI: you can finish the game without ever as much as looking at the body, there even is an achievement for it!

understandable, have a nice day

def Disco Elysium

heed this warning though: after Disco, there is no going back; most storytelling might seem subpar or just of low quality afterwards

it’s also soul crushing, existentialist and doesn’t shy away from critiquing/ridiculing society and what it believes in (from a Marxist pov, though Communism itself isn’t spaired either in the game, with a harsh critique only communists could write), but it’s also one of the most hopeful games I’ve ever played at the same time

I would rly recommend a blind play through without cheating through quick saves! (aka. save scumming) A lot of decisions in the game succeed based on the probability of your stats accomplishing it. I made the mistake in my first play through and just forced everything I wanted by reloading over and over again -_-

The USA has a two faced one party system. Two sides of the same coin or “good cop/bad cop” if you will.

Both parties serve the rich, support imperialism and so on. In terms of economics they have the exact same function of serving the 10% over the 90%.

In terms of domestic affairs the good/bad cop dynamic really kicks in. The reps are ultraconservative, while the dems try to mud the waters with their slight progressiveness, in the end only coopting those things as not to endanger capitalism.

The best you will get from the dems is a
“I’ll try to not make things worse - for now. Vote for me or my buddy elephant over there will beat you up”.
(the not making things worse refers to their social policy, not their economic ones. Those will still get progressively worse for the working majority, even if it might be a bit more indirect. All the dems really are is a silken glove over the iron fist of capital).

And tbh, for everyone outside of the US it doesn’t make a difference whether the bombs the policeman of the world drops wherever they please & the bags of money they send to genociders/reactionaries/fascists/terrorists have prideflag & BLM stickers on them, or not…

That’s how I was made aware of “The History of Rome”. I listened to the last chapters of “Revolutions” and decided to start from the beginning before listening to the rest.

My current “roadmap” of sorts is to finish “The History of Rome”, then "The History of Byzantium* (not made by Duncan) and listen to the rest of “Revolutions” afterwards

I have exclusuvely been listening to “The History of Rome” by Mike Duncan

still not done with it lol

LOTR: The Fellowship of the Ring (Directors Cut)

should be good in filtering out some of the people I wouldn’t want to interact with anyway
