I don't think so, I don't identify as one, at least. I consider myself a leftist.

I believe in collectivism, but I oppose authoritarianism.

Most right-leaning individuals are not racist homophobic dick-wads, they’re not waving the confederate flag, and they don’t want to vote for Trump or Desantis or whatever degenerate asshole is up on that podium next.

That has not been the impression they give me when I've had disagreements with the right wing people who I know. If you bring up any of the horrible shit the people they support do, they'll just shrug and say "well, I can't vote for x, they're a Democrat. It's not really a big deal anyways"

I'm also curious what you think racism is. I know a lot of racist Democrats, too.

Go out there and meet some people. We’re all humans and it would be a lot easier to solve our problems if we were in this together.

I think this is naive. That sentiment is collectivistic. Right wing politics is vehemetly individualistic. They'd just call you a communist and ignore anything you'd have to say. They don't want to solve problems, they want only their problems to be solved.

Well, definitely don't come to Florida, then. We're having that issue, too. The heat index has been 110F+ for the last two weeks and I still see even more panhandlers than in recent years.

I used to call Florida a toilet because it was fun to shit on, but I think it's just a hellhole now. Vanishingly few benefits to living here, unless you have a lot of money.

Also "Found on road, dead", and "first on race day".

Fiat has "Fix it again, Tony".

There's an extremely racist one for Pontiac.

The thing I really don't understand, and what is really starting to annoy me, is that you don't have to use it.

I used sync for years. I even bought the pro version to get rid of ads. When I saw the price for the new app I decided that I didn't want to pay that and moved the fuck on.

I understand why the price was what it was. This is how this person makes their living. I don't want to pay what they're charging and that's that. Complaining about it seems childish, and now I realize I'm complaining about people complaining.

All of this is nonsense.

Cool 👍

I mean, I've watched the sopranos, so I'm vaguely familiar.

It's a good thing that Apple podcasts and Apple music aren't intrinsically connected then, huh? They still platform him.

I don't really see the difference between this and Spotify, but whatever.

That's their prerogative, I still find it obnoxious.

I didn't say anything about their podcast app. How are you using apple music for free?

Apple hosts Steve Bannon's podcast fyi

Nope. Alex Jones straight up turned on Rogan, said terrible things about him on Infowars. Not only did Rogan not hear about it, because he doesn't watch infowars, he went back on his show.

Then again, Rogan was a guest on Infowars on 9/11, so maybe we shouldn't be that surprised.

I think the biggest difference is that my brother is our DM and he'll pull his punches if he can tell we're getting really bad luck or frustrated.

Baldurs Gate doesn't do that, and really shouldn't. It's supposed to be challenging. Ngl, having to control your entire party in combat is kinda difficult for me. I guess I'm too used to only having control of just my PC that it's intimidating playing the other classes, especially the ones I don't have much experience with. I also don't have other player's turns to plan my next turn.

Growing pains, I'm looking forward to the full release.

The up coming one

While it's not a direct parody I think The Nice Guys used and subverts a lot of 70s buddy cop tropes.

And after rewatching that trailer I found it refreshing to see it didn't spoil the story and didn't have any BWAAAAAAAAAH

I play a weekly dnd session. I've been playing for almost 7 years. I thought I'd check out baldurs gate. I got absolutely bodied in the first encounter.

I learned 2 things; my DM is very kind and wants us all to have fun, baldurs gate is not kind and is coldly indifferent to my concept of fun.

I'm exaggerating a bit, but it was tougher than I thought. Saving helps a lot. I'm sure I wouldn't have gotten wrecked right away if I planned better.

I picked it up on Xbox back when it was released, because I liked the first one a lot. It was one of the biggest gaming regrets I've ever made. It is so goddamn tedious.

Like, I get why it's that way. It's the reason it's popular. It's all about the attention to detail and a semblance of realism, but holy shit do I hate it.

I got my first perfect bear skin and was pretty jazzed about it. On my way back to camp I got attacked by a mountain lion, sending me, my horse, and the skin down a hill. I only found my horse.

Maybe I did something wrong, but I've never been more upset at a videogame in my life.

I remember getting all the equipment that boosts your speed, going to a plantation at night, and just sprinting between slavers butchering them before they even where alerted to me.

I think gameplay wise, Far Cry peaked at 3 or 4. I'd say 5 and 6 weren't as good in those regard, but oh boy is it waaay more fun to kill in them.

3 and 4 felt kinda weird, because you were andoutsider (3 much more than 4) that solves all the problems. It felt very white savoir.

Whereas in 5 and 6 it's all "aww, yeah, let's kill us some fascists!"

Hades is literally my favorite game of all time. I used to pass on rougelikes and other "hard" games, but decided to try it out after hearing about how it was pretty good.

I got it on my switch and got hooked. I loved it so much. It got me into challenging games. I'm even dabbling in soulslikes now.

I bought it on my PC when I upgraded. I wanted to support the devs, so I bought it for my brother and two other friends. I even bought it for a stranger I met a party because it was on sale.
