Kraken Cleaning on Steam A cozy incremental game where you play as a Kraken wielding abyssal powers to clean the ocean.

I can practically guarantee your favorite nerdy game critic is going mention #KrakenCleaning before the summer's out. #indiegames

Sorry. I didnt catch her pont. I was busy very literally, as I type this, side-eyeing a playground full of poc and hoping they are happy while vaguely thinking how I kind of want to stick around to protect them in case of the friggen government.

Oops! Was that a feeling? I'll stay in my lane. ;)

Fun experiment YOU can try at home, kiddos. Put Morgan Freeman's face near any text and you will only be able to read it in his distinct voice. Try it now! Even with this very message.

I think that's actually "filthy liar" disease. The symptoms are strikingly similar; both are likely to start sentences with, "I know a lot of black people and..."

How has this clip been on the internet for more than two hours and nobody has added in light saber noises or Soul Calibur narration? What happened to us?

I trained with modern foil and Polish Saber, it was physically taxing, time-intensive, and most importantly you had to be willing to get your ass kicked by someone better than you and learn from them. It’s not a hobby for insecure manchildren. Also like half the students in fencing classes are gay.

Police unions are why I believe public sector unions need to have some statutory limits on power. Negotiating salary? Basic employment protections? Fine. But there is a point at which public unions interfere with public policy, and police unions are way past that point.

I joined the fandom when I was 15. Around my early 20s I walked away to focus on life. I came back proper in my early 30s after lockdown as a part of my life felt missing. The fandom is for everyone, we just have different priorities while participating and forming community. Join whenever. Be "old"

User dratsab huffman asks the question:

To amuse myself i researched revacholian nationalism as well as measure head's race theories etc etc and focused my character on "traditionalism".

Anyway, ive noticed that if i ever click dialogue options that are in tune with my character's political compass, i lose morale. Whats the point of having this as a mechanic if its going to be so detrimental and feels like the character doesnt believe he actually is this or something... is there anyway to overcome that kind of morale loss?

Recalcitrant Jester replies:
Being a fascist is a deeply demoralizing experience. You have to not only radically alter your worldview to make reality fit into your unhinged schema, but that worldview is predicated on the notion that the weakest, most unworthy degenerate worms on the planet are somehow overpowering and humiliating you on a moment-by-moment basis.

In mechanical terms too, the lowered morale also reduces your volition score—the more you indulge in your delusions, the less you are able to exercise self-control and self-awareness.

The point of fascism being mechanically detrimental—the ludonarrative theme—is that fascism is an unequivocally self-destructive ideology, the practice of which only serves to nurture that self-destructive urge and turn it outward. It's not like Dark Side points in KotOR where you can access cool new abilities and get to enjoy being such a nasty lil rascal; you are not supposed to enjoy being a fascist in Disco Elysium. Fascism is the act of self-deception in service of making your own life more painful, solely for the payoff of making life more painful for people you dislike.

Read a book start to finish and listen to music longer than 8minutes is generally a good way to stay sane.

Opening text of a thread by Palantir from X
Because we get asked a lot.

The Technological Republic, in brief.

1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation.

2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible.

3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public.

4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software.

Palantir put out a 22-point summary of their CEO's book The Technological Republic. It's pitched as a defence of the West, but if you read it through the VDA framework, verification, deliberation, accountability, what it's actually doing looks rather different.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

It’s absolutely incredible that one of the largest Japanese-run Go servers, which has been running since 1992, is still accessed entirely via Telnet. And while most players use GUI clients that use Telnet under the hood, you can still connect manually and get ASCII graphics streamed to you

It's a significant evolution that those with kinks or silly hobbies are comfortable putting that on the same feed as serious concerns and high-minded ideas.

That we were ever compelled by "brand cultute" to split ourselves for consumption seems so wrong now. (* though it must ALWAYS be an option.)

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"
