Easier question: Which marketing tactics DO you like?

I like Steam’s discovery queue, sometimes I find some pretty interesting stuff. It’s entirely voluntary, and I can leave at any time, instead of holding my time ransom and demanding my attention with annoying cringe-inducing content like most marketing.

I was making a general statement about when anime has a political theme, not on that particular anime.

Only anime I know of where this is actually a thing is Attack on Titan, but I haven’t watched the last season (apparently it deviates from the source material, maybe for this reason, which is why I haven’t).

Though I guess you could find a utopian vision in a nation that views all to be equally worthless and champions genocide and calling the dark young of shub niggurath to stomp on people.

Yeah, I do like multifaceted morally grey and villainous characters with interesting or even aspiring motives. I highly recommend Hunter X Hunter, The number of characters in that anime that aren’t majorly flawed in one way or another you can count on your fingers. One of the communities favorite characters is a murderous pedo clown that serves as the main characters mentor and drop-in father-figure for a large part of the story. If you watch any single anime and never watch anime again, let it be HxH.

I’ve only finished the anime up to season 4, but I don’t think the theme is that “Nazarick is evil and evil skeleton overlord is fun”, but rather “do the ends justify the means Nazarick takes”, given that Ainz wants to create a utopia where all races live in harmony. It’s very interesting writing given how much time and humanity is given to side characters that are eventually destroyed or imperialized by Nazarick.

That’s funny because if you actually watched Overlord you’d know Ainz’ goal (besides getting back to the real world) is to create a utopia where all races are equal. But keep throwing buzzwords if it makes you feel good.

For someone that hates the right you make a lot of generalizations. Every country with power is a mess politically, but that says nothing about their art.

If you’ve ever watched Overlord you’d know the dead deserve to rule over the living

I run a real linux on my phone, so I can use it for anything I can use my laptop/desktop/unix for. I think what people forget is that phones are ultimately just computers with a WWAN radio, and the restrictive nature of Android and especially iOS obfuscate that.

Distrotube, Luke Smith, and Mental Outlaw all give me bad vibes. Shame they’re (minus distrotube) at the forefront of OpenBSD youtube content.

I’ll never forget him for introducing me to dungeons of dredmor, the game is the bad roguelike, but I don’t know if I ever would have gotten into roguelikes without it

I fucking hate this dystopian hellscape of misery and torment and I hope it gets glassed. Land of the fee, home of the slave. If I get drafted in WW3 I’m a turncoat as soon as they hand me a gun.

At least we made UNIX. UNIX is cool.

We already have that

Linus Torvalds or Theo de Raadt

pledge() and unveil() were already compiled into the chat client

truly a modern classic

oh my reddit lois this is so wholesome chungus

skibidi joe, can you get me a beat?

Get out of here STALKER

Every piece of hardware I’ve used past 2010 or so seems to have just gotten worse and worse, I honestly think I’m cursed.

2013 (? can’t quite remember), Sager gaming laptop with sli gpu config, gpus drew too much power for the battery (I believe), leading to black screen and reboot. Company feigned ignorance, ran unrelated tests on RMA, Socially awkward at the time and was scared to ask for a refund. Convinced to this day it was a scam.

2015, desktop computer I built randomly powers off during usage, no errors, not the power supply, unsolved to this day.

2020-2022 5 cheap ebay thinkpads, all with one hardware problem or another. My beloved T60p was the last to go.

2022-present Framework laptop, ports suffer intermitent failure, webcam microphone stopped working. Replaced webcam/microphone, works for a day, breaks again. Unsolved.

2022-preset Steam deck, had to RMA 3 times for various hardware issues, works now, but the right trigger still rubs against something but I can live with it. Spilled coffee on the left trackpad so it’s sticky; that’s my fault though so I can’t blame it on the curse.

They said the worst thing that could happen, not the best.

letting unqualified businessmen rule the planet instead of experts in their given fields.
