  • Project Zomboid. That’s the most recent game I can think of where I reduced the difficulty (and that’s coming from someone that has nearly 400 hours into Elden Ring). It’s not that the game is tougher than ER or anything like that. It has a ton of cool mechanics and detail that are really enjoyable if you’re into zombie survival games, but the zombies can really swarm you in that game and you won’t live long.

    It also has sandbox mode where there’s no zombies and you can focus on farming, building, etc.

    Republicans: “we’re going to keep giving weapons to Israel so they can get the job done.” The Nazi party is straight up telling us what they’re going to do.

    Democrats: the same thing as above but couched in complacent, obscure language about “reducing casualties”.

    It’s time we simply be honest about the reality and stop making this a D vs R, working class vs working class thing. At the core of the Gaza genocide, the message is essentially the same.

    Kamala has stated that she won’t place a weapons embargo on Israel because they have a “right to defend themselves”. She may have a full ceasefire mindset personally, no one will ever know, but the US government collective won’t allow it. That’s just the way the war machine works. As soon as they pull the plug on funding Israel, Israel becomes an enemy they are suddenly matched with due to the mass amount of our own weapons we’ve been sending them for decades. Our government has painted itself into a corner, and a continued alliance with Israel ensures that we have a control point in the Middle East.

    It should also be noted that Kamala has taken something like $200k+ worth of AIPAC money, but Walz hasn’t taken any as far as I can tell. Not personally a fan of Kamala, but I have cautious optimism with Walz.

    The US learned a long time ago that in order to keep their greatest disposable resource at bay (the working class), they have to give the illusion of choice and just enough freedom to continue having children and quell civil unrest. If you completely subjugate and alienate your greatest resource, your empire isn’t going to last long at all.

    When you find the sides of the bubble and start prodding, that’s when you start to see the true face of the ones controlling it. That’s when the cops come out in force; the layoffs happen; the union busters and scabs double; products and goods sink in quality while growing in price. Marx predicted this and now we get to watch the edges of the empire and capitalism sharpen in real time.


  • AI “art” isn’t art. It’s just a trash bag of pieces pulled from real work that was sucked up into the model to learn from without any consent from the originators of said art. It’s fun to work with if you need inspiration to actually create art from, but it’s trash otherwise. I don’t mind people showing it off, but if you think you’re a genius because you typed a handful of prompts into a tool that far smarter people than you created, you’re on par with NFT and crypto folks. They seek the shortest route to success because they don’t want to put in the work. Art is organic and rooted in the emotion and experiences of living beings. It’s grounded in reality and understands that a human hand should have 5 digits on it and why.

    It’s insanely complex and I don’t condemn the tech or the smart folks that create it, but what it generates is missing all of the organic factors that give art life. It’s being harnessed by capitalists to shut the human artists out, when it should instead be used by those artists as a tool to make their work easier.
