And when I finish Demonhunter I’m going to get really ambitious and see how Battlesector plays on it. I’ve heard it’s less intuitive to control than Demonhunter, but I’m looking forward to finding out for myself.

It controls great. If you’ve ever played XCom on a console, it’s very similar. It doesn’t look like it, but it’s still a grid based game, so you’re just moving the cursor from square to square, which the analog stick is more than suitable for. You’ll spend a lot of time cycling through actions and units with the…

How’s Inscryption control with the game pad? I’m super curious about the game, but have tried to shield myself from spoilers, so I don’t know for sure, but my impression from what little I know is that it seems like the kind of game that would be better with a keyboard and mouse on an actual computer. Like, I can’t…

I’m using mine to play PC games that aren’t on consoles. Warhammer 40K Chaos Gate: Demonhunter runs great on it, which makes me happy because I can’t run anything on my 7 year old non-gaming laptop. The Steam Deck is finally opening up PC gaming to me after many years of having to ignore that segment completely.

This is probably a good time to just walk away from the internet

So, long post. I don’t know why I wrote so much, but I did, so here it is.

I never suggested that they’re minor issues. I just don’t think any of them are as major as the subordination of the working class to corporations and the wealthy. That, in my estimation and experience, is the most defining feature of most…

What are we actually voting for? The illusion of control in a system rigged against us from top to bottom. If people didn’t operate under the belief that they had some degree of control and the ability to make things better for themselves, they’d be a hell of a lot less easy to keep at bay. It’s why lies like the…

Hey, so I realize this will definitely fall on deaf ears, but does the head cop in the state of Texas ALSO have some bias that’s causing him to lie, or are you, much like the cops who responded so piss poorly to the shooting, wrong?

Huh, was not aware of the muhtasib, but yeah, that certainly applies to cops too. Modern policing in the US basically evolved out of a combination of slave catchers and union busters, which is really convenient shorthand—for me, anyway—for understanding what they are, which are servants of the wealthy who view the…

At this point I’m waiting for it to come out that the border patrol cops there were taking the opportunity to check the parents’ papers

Lmfao which statements specifically? I added a second comment where I corrected information that was previously reported by Texas state law enforcement officials but has since been corrected by them. Between my original comment and my second one where I amend my first one based on reporting that was literally minutes…

So actually latest reporting is that he WASN’T confronted by an armed school resource officer. Your point is still moot though because he fired several shots right outside the building, including at two people in front of a business across the street. He then ran inside the school where cops responded 4 minutes later,…

There was an armed officer there. The school resource officer. He had a gun and reportedly did not exchange fire with the shooter as he entered the building, although even state law enforcement officials are apparently unsure why. And a library a couple blocks away could hear the gunshots from inside the school, so…

I cannot fathom how they’re still saying they don’t know how long he was in the school. Like, he was chased by cops and shot at least one on his way in, right? Surely those cops did their little cop thing and radioed “shots fired,” “officer down,” “need a medic,” that sort of thing. Whatever time those calls went out?…

I mean, I get what you’re saying, but honestly? At least publicly? I doubt anyone will take the blame. The institution of policing in the US is specifically designed to be as insulated from accountability and consequence as possible. There are several layers of defense, from the cop unions to the departments’ general…

We HAVE accepted that it will keep happening at a horrifying rate. We accepted it after Columbine. And again after Virginia Tech. Again after Sandy Hook. And Aurora. And Pulse. And Vegas. And Parkland. And the literally hundreds of others that happened in there too. We accept it again every single time. And we’ll…

I mean, I’m here for it, but I just don’t see a scenario where a large percentage of the population doesn’t bow in supplication to our police state overlords. And maybe even pick up arms in their defense. I’m in the south and SO many people here would line up to LITERALLY lick their boots if given the chance. I see…

Cops are for protecting property. Specifically wealthy people’s property. Which is why abolishing them won’t happen. They do actually serve a (shitty) function if you own a building and people are protesting outside. Gotta protect those precious windows! And because we live in a cult that worships the rich, that by…

Cops exist to protect property, not lives or freedom or any other bullshit they claim, not even elementary school kids trapped in their school with a mass shooter. They’re the enforcement arm of our dictatorship of the wealthy, nothing more, nothing less. They’ll kill you for stealing a pack of Pokémon cards or…

I’m glad you guys have your shit together there better than we do here. I was mainly afraid of what the police might do because of my experiences in the US and because while I had mods from Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, I didn’t have any from Australia, so there wasn’t anyone I could quickly, discreetly ask…
