  • Why isn't misandry seen as a vital part of patriarchy?

  • Haven't seen such a disgusting vibe and strong stench of redditism in a while. Don't even know where to start and I don't frankly think its worth engaging with someone so confidently wrong, self-centered and condescending.

    You could honestly be doing an impression, it's that good.

    Surprised you weren't already banned or getting bullied but I guess lemmygrad is less strict.

  • Its a fantastic game and I'm constantly amazed how much it keeps expanding.

    It has jank and the survival/crafting part means you'll need to return to previous specific places where specific materials respawn, but it also makes you learn the labyrinthine black-mesa-style map a lot and rewards you for finding shortcuts and building other bases or little things that make traversal faster.

  • Crystal trinket passively recharges all electric batteries on you its amazing.

    I never needed recharging stations, especially useful for personal teleporters, healing briefcase, energy pistol

  • I was kinda mad when I realised the battery charging trinket didn't work for the laser upgrades but it makes sense, or I would have never needed to use a different trinket.

    I use laser pistol and katana, hypercross magbow with rebar bolts fucking wrecks shit, mugnades, and the goddamn healing briefcase has saved my life countless times since solo apocalyptic is tough. I also usually have some type of spear or hammer with a good shield, tons of tough enemies are trivial once you realise you can poke and block.

  • Lmao. I just made a base directly in voussoir.

    Im exactly at the objectives you're at! Playing solo apocalyptic, its been really fun but getting to the point where crafting requires grinding for a lot of materials.

  • That's exactly the revolutionary strategy I think about regarding electoralism! Cool to see it in someone else's words, very well put.

    It's a strange game. You sometimes have to join these movements because they can motivate and educate "regular people", ie. people that aren't yet as politically educated and radicalised as you might be. You have to go where people are, if it's useful. You have to be with them, not condescending, not a bitter asshole, not pestering or complaining all the time, you have to do the work and stand with them, so they respect and trust you.

    BUT, you also know electoralism almost certainly won't succeed or won't do much. Your goal is to educate and agitate, by genuinely being there and helping out. You also shouldn't hide your views and your opinions. You can be polite, diplomatic about it, but you shouldn't lie, you have to be honest about what you think will happen, what will or won't work.

    BUT, if you're just helping cynically expecting everything to fail and you're just there opportunistically to agitate and nothing else, people will know, they'll notice or feel it. You have to, somehow, genuinely help these local things and genuinely try to win, even partially. Push as hard as you can. Even if you know it won't work, but just because you are here to help other people fight, to activate them and educate them.

    If you lose, they'll learn from their mistakes and get wiser, and they'll trust you for having stood shoulder to shoulder with them despite your disagreements or misgivings.

    If you win, a lot of people will get incredible motivation and hope, and you've got some energetic and trained people that can do good work. Some of them won't go further, some of them will stop caring, but every little crumb of improvement you can get, every little fight you can win, brings people with you.

  • No i'm not against the criticism and electoralism is extremely limited and mostly dumb, I'm just tired of seeing everyone frothing at the mouth on this topic every time. I really do not care THAT much about Mamdani, I'll see if he's elected and what he does/is pressured to do after that. All the media theater can be important but the defending AND the criticism seems kind of obsessive, like both people critiquing and defending are putting way too much energy and importance into those little things.

    I don't have a stake in this tho so maybe it's very important, idk.

  • From outside the US, i think people need to log off. He's literally not "done" anything, there's no falling for anything (yet). But it certainly doesn't seem very useful to panic every time he shows that he's... a demsoc. I never saw anyone pretend he was anything more than that.

    Your elections are pretty fucked, best you can expect is to educate and agitate, and find relatively better footholds locally by improving local laws and conditions, as best as you're able. All the political theater of election cycles and all the media stuff before someone is elected, that's all pretty dumb imo. It's theater, it's media strategy, it's fucking tiring and it's not very productive to obsess about.

    Wait was it a report from the FBI or cops and them struggling to get into those groups because they had to read theory? I do remember that!

  • I don't know how you arrive at this assessment on him but alright, that's fine by me. I don't agree at all with this analysis, it seems kinda fashioned out of nothing. It doesn't align with the few positions i've seen him take, at least recently. I never really watched before a couple months ago and most of that has been about the palestinian genocide, his anti-zionism and coverage of israeli crimes, so idk.

  • What? That's his name, i don't know what else to call him, mister piker? I barely watch a part of a stream once in a blue moon, sheesh.

    Maybe this is being said in a joking way but i'm gonna be real I really don't appreciate this kind of comment, weird thing to say and a weird way to say it, not the vibes i'm used to on hexbear.
