Absolutely stunning non-response coupled with a lotta bad faith and projection. You have a particularly unhinged vibe its quite funny in a way.

Oh dear god that guy in the comments, haven't seen such vile redditism in a while

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.

Oh I was wondering if someone had uploaded that series for free! Thanks!

All this game's sprites are incredible. There's some other bangers with cops in the same area.

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.

 

Extremely cool video. The alternative title is mine, I thought I would focus on what would be interesting to comrades here, because it's what interested me. What she talks about is extremely compatible with the marxist method and philosophy, with diamat.

Starts with Galileo as an introduction into the topic, focuses on Feyerabend's "Against Method" book and positions itself against, or at least critically towards, the typical Karl Popper argument. And a very interesting last-ish part on the boundaries and perceived authority of science, and about crackpot stuff like flat-earth being inherently a reaction against the gate-keeping, dogmatic and brutish bourgeois scientific establishments.
