Anyone else constantly forget that Luis Suarez played for Atletico Madrid or just me

Sadly all 4 quadrants are just regular liberals if not worse from my experience

I so badly miss playing TF2 in the first few years it came out, still back in days when custom servers were king and you'd make friends with other random people who always played on the same servers. Games just don't feel like that anymore smh

Any time I'm in a sales meeting at work this is basically all that's going through my head

Me when I get a new game that came out 5-6 years ago and I just equip all of the free stuff that was released in that time

Big fan of this term going to keep it in mind

Jackmerius is a fucking killer name and I won't hear otherwise

I love Lorde so much, this album blew my mind back when it came out

It is referencing the Juche calendar which beings with Juche 1 in 1912, Juche being essentially Marxism-Leninism with Korean characteristics, an application of Marxism specific to the Korean condition from my understanding but maybe someone more knowledgeable can chime in I'm not well versed there.

It's a tradition to refer to the date in the Juche calendar from the old reddit r/GenZedong weekly discussion sticky that carried over to here as far as I am aware

Just about finished up playing Assassin's Creed Mirage, was waiting for it to come out on Steam. Have definitely enjoyed it a lot, was nice to play a new AC game thats closer to the originals in style, as I like the stealth gameplay. They did a super good job recreating 8th century Baghdad, clearly a lot of care went into it. I love little details how like if you go to the market area you can hear foreign traders speaking their own languages. The attention to detail in the city is really good and the place feels very alive. It makes me really want to see them do another game in this style focused on maybe 2nd century Rome, as I still have yet to see a game properly tackle recreating Rome at the height of its wealth and power. If anyone can do that justice its this team as they nailed Baghdad.

As much as I enjoyed the game it also made me realize that I kind of like the more sprawling RPG direction games like Odyssey and Valhalla took. It makes me excited for the new Japan AC next year. Ubisoft gets shit on a lot for good reason but I really like the open world games they make, I have a lot of fun with them.

I didnt watch The Game Awards but I saw some of the announcements, definitely interested in the new Turok and Okami games. Nothing else really stuck out for me, Witcher 4 looks cool of course but for whatever reason I've always bounced off of the Witcher games, tried all 3 at various points and have never been able to enjoy them. Maybe this one will be different who knows.

2024 I actually played a lot of games, probably more than I should have. None of them were games released recently really but I had an absolute blast replaying Fable Anniversary and Zelda Wind Waker HD this year. Also played through Dark Souls remastered for the first time this year, extremely good remaster of a great game. I also played 2 and 3 again this year but after playing them all in quick succession I think DS1 is my favorite. Such tight level design and atmosphere, and the game suits my preferred playstyle of hiding behind a shield and smacking people with a mace.

Liberals can't make any media about resistance to exploitation that doesn't do both sides bad.

Played Assassin's Creed Mirage recently and the whole time the game was trying to make me think the rebels who wanted to free all of the slaves are actually kinda bad because they do violence sometimes. It's not relevant to the main story really at all but they still shoehorn it in at every opportunity. Good luck convincing me that former slaves who want to kill their masters aren't based.

 

Sharing this not so much because I love the song, though it is enjoyable, but because I absolutely adore the music video.

I don't think I've ever seen a music video that depicts men coming to terms with addiction better than this one. The way that the video shows the actors becoming increasingly comfortable and more vulnerable with each other is just fantastic to me. My interpretation is that the people in the video already knew the dance because it is something that is intrinsic to all who suffer from substance abuse, they have just never had a forum where they feel comfortable to open up about it. I especially love the moment where they all start slow dancing together.

I listened to this song for several years in various playlists cause I love Rudimental's music, but it was only in the past year or so that I saw the video and I've been trying to show it to as many people as possible since. As a guy who has suffered from substance addiction and also has always struggled in life to connect to other men I find this video very powerful.

 

Belgium is due to play Israel in the UEFA Nations League and apparently all cities in Belgium have refused to host the match at their stadiums due to the political circumstances. Article says the match might be played in Hungary.

France and Italy are also in this same group, I am curious to see if the same thing happens. The fact that Israel is in the European football association/competitions at all tells you all you need to know about the place.

 

Hello comrades, I am looking to expand my knowledge of Zionism. I have realized that I understand what it is and how it has and continues to impact the world, but I lack a good understanding of most of the history and context of it.

Can anyone recommend some good reading on the formation of Zionism and how it came to be realized in the form of "Israel" ?

 

I dont know even what to say about this other than lol, lmao

 

Maybe anime wasn't a complete mistake after all
