Sure. I think big budget gaming needs to die, and games need more dev time for less work and higher pay, with worse graphical fidelity and better art styles.

It's a kind of hopeful nihilism, a sort of sense that no matter how far apart you are in space or time, everyone and everything is ultimately connected, and looking up at the same stars.

Same as usual. Vote for the least harmful candidates while advocating for actual grassroots improvements, because voting harder won't move America to the left, ever.

Yep, I had below Fallout 4 expectations and actually ended up enjoying it more, as I highly value the RPG aspects. It's still a completely mediocre RPG, but it has a huge sandbox and a ton of potential.

Sure! They were wrong, of course, but that's why I mentioned that it's centered on personal liberty with the principles of Capitalism.

Most mods require Ultimate Edition, you'll find.

A bit late, but this list has a number of issues, notably things like ENB. For anyone wanting a minimal mod list,

Espresso isn't a grind or a roast, it's an extraction method.

Can't believe you're outing yourself as a Genital Inspector, looking into everyone's pants when you meet them.

The funny thing is, I think the fact that the RPG mechanics are finally better than the last game developed by Bethesda, instead of worse, highlights just how mediocre Bethesda games are.

I still think once mods and DLCs come out in full force it will be remembered more positively.

Sure, if you stay out of the broader Lemmy and stick to niche subs, you'll likely see more people that go to those niche subs. It's not that you can't find Communists or Anarchists on Reddit, they just tend to stick to their subs, while on Lemmy Communists and Anarchists are dominant in the bigger subs.

Believe me, it's very noticeable. Perhaps you conflate liberals with Communists and Anarchists?

No, this is quite wrong.

Conservatives wish to maintain the status quo and pull back changes made to the status quo.

Liberalism is an ideology of free-market Capitalism and personal liberty.

Neither directly cares about the size of government as long as it stays within those boundaries.

No, I think we disagree here. Pure Communism is a good thing, it just takes time to build it. What the USSR had was a flawed version of Marxism-Leninism, which even if replicated today would not have the same set of issues it faced uniquely due to civil war, WWII, and Stalin. I don't want a recreation of the USSR either, but I do want Communism as the end goal.

The Free Market is a sham and the profit motive results in stagnation, consumerism, Imperialism, and a lack of choice. Competition is only a good thing in the context of Capitalism and Markets. Social Safety Nets are not Worker Ownership of the Means of Production.

What you're advocating for is Social Democracy, which is well and good compared to most Capitalist systems, but is straight up inferior to actual Socialism, as essentially its Capitalism but with band-aids.

Got it, just vibes and emotions, then.

Maybe if this was Reddit, but on Lemmy there are vast numbers of Communists and Socialists, not just Social Democrats who want Capitalism with band-aids. The founder is a Communist, and decentralization is core to leftist ideologies.

Marxist-Leninist. To simplify, Marx wrote some stuff, Lenin expanded on it and threw a revolution, shortly after which he fucking died. Stalin wrote a couple more sentences then distilled the ideology of Marxism-Leninism. That's why you have non-Marxist-Leninist Marxists/Leninists like the ICP, as word-salady as that sounds.

The essential factor is the belief in the use of a Vanguard Party to carry out a revolution and build up a Socialist state to whither into Communism.

How would one take advantage of Communism for personal gain in a way that goes against Communism? Have you legitimately thought beyond pure vibes in your head?

How does one "easily seize power" in a democratically controlled system, moreso than a top-down oriented one like Capitalism?

Decentralization appeals to leftists, and the founder of Lemmy is a vocal Communist. As such, there are lots of leftists of various flavors, be they Marxist or Anarchist.
