If we’re following Marx’s historical materialism (that society has transitions has a society, roughly being feudalism -> capitalism -> socialism -> communism), I think the next best step is a transition from capitalism to socialism is union ownership. Personally, I think worker co-ops and general syndicalism with a competing in a market for the worker owned businesses would be a great in between step that would not involve a crushingly oppressive state. The goal should be to keep it decentralized so one power structure being consumed by corruption doesn’t sink the fleet

Achieving communism thru the state (called vanguard parties) isn’t all that well liked by many types of socialists and communists, especially those of us in the west. A lot of us prefer to take inspiration from mid-1900s labor groups who, while not achieving socialism that we want, created infinitely better working conditions and power dynamics for working class people. Most of the people who ran those organizations were socialists/communists in and of themselves, and they often times relied more upon collective direct action than just electoralism.

That’s my secret babe, I am autistic

This is cat abuse

God this game is difficult

and silksong lol

Oh man that recent gameplay footage that came out looked 10/10. I haven’t been this excited for a new ip in awhile

Silksong? There’s no such thing as a game coming out called that. It doesn’t exist. It is, and always has been, a figment of your imagination. There has never been a studio called Team Cherry. It’s all lies.

For real. Most macs won’t even be able to run anything too intensive from modern times. Anything indie-ish that can run well on the hardware will likely be made in unity will already have a native executable

30fps is normally alright for 3rd person adventure games, but shooting, especially first person, might feel different. Idk, I still don’t know how to feel about this one. The digital foundry guys seemed to be supportive, but I still just don’t trust Bethesda lately

Personally, frame rate is much more important to me than most other factors. If there’s the option to, I’m going to be cutting a lot to get it to 60, especially since I’m somehow way below specs with a 6600 xt

Oh hey! I’ve used your site quite a bit!

I couldn’t care less about the story of a zelda game. Dungeons, combat, and general gameplay are what I play for.

In that regard, totk blows botw away and it’s not even close. Personally, I thought botw was a good game, but not great - definitely nowhere near as good as people were saying.

Totk is an absolute masterpiece tho. The continuation of the sandbox development, changes to weapon and fusing, etc were great. Exploration and traversal with zonai parts is loads of fun. Hell, the last boss fight was a great moment as well - definitely much more polished than the end of botw.

I do wish dungeons were still a bit more dungeon like, and performance, while a marvel for it’s hardware, is really held back by the switch. There are definitely things to improve on for the next game

Overall tho, totk makes botw feel unfinished imo

Queue the “internet people are a vocal minority” saying. Unfortunately, it really is true. How anyone can pre-order after fo76 is absolutely bonkers to me

Man, I really just cant be bothered to give a shit about any trailer that doesnt have game play, which is about all of them

Honestly, I just want instances that focus on niche interests. An instance for sports with communities of different leagues, instances for pc gaming with communities for amd/intel/Nvidia, etc

That way, main instances with more generic context like lemmy.ml or beehaw dont get clogged

I’m really hoping this is the comment to break the downvoted record

Spez on Christian (Apollo dev)

His “joke” is the least of our issues. His behavior and communications with us has been all over the place—saying one thing to us while saying something completely different externally; recording and leaking a private phone call—to the point where I don’t know how we could do business with him.

Spez is a fucking joke
