"You can't change people's minds" where does the change in social change come from then? Spare coins?

Not everyone is up to debate and convince people otherwise but that's why activism is a skill worth learning. Just because you couldn't do it doesn't make it impossible.

Metaphor: reFantazio really stares you dead in the eye and says 'democracy is not some magical system that ensures moral good. Even if you could take away all the barriers and practical difficulties, even if you could guarantee beyond a shadow of a doubt that the entire nation voted, and the vote could not be tampered with, and that it was a genuine expression of their true belief of who was most fit to rule with no other concerns taken into consideration- that still would not keep people from elevating strongmen and demagogues and tyrants. Their is no promise that the 'will of the people' will always be the most moral, the most practical, or the most wise choice. People are short sighted and easily swayed and ruled by their biases and instincts, and more then that they often lack the time energy and understanding to make the most wise choice.'

And then as you are staring into the black void of hopelessness it keeps going and says 'And that's okay. People have lived beneath unjust, imperfect systems since the dawn of civilization. All these things, from Republics, to Theocracies, to Monarchies, to Dictatorships- they are all human creations and so reflect human flaws. It's okay. It doesn't mean you stop living, stop helping other people, stop trying to do the best for those you care for. It doesn't absolve you of your duties and responsibilities to others. Dream of a better world, and do what you can for the people you can and you might just make the world a better place, the same way everyone throughout history has- one day a time, and one choice after another.'

HELLDIVERS II (2024)

[swampthingking]

andrew’s definitely gotten in trouble with his pr manager for tweeting things along the lines of:

“no mania inducing medication will compare to the euphoria i will feel the day donald trump drops dead”

Can you name a game that has anything near as cinematic as HELLDIVERS II?

What happens when people don't read even 1 newssite in their entire lives

Looking through the "#rednote" tag on Tumblr, I see there's FAR, FAR too many Tumblr users who think Xiaohongshu has less censorship than the society of America.

Dudes… dudes…

America wouldn't throw you in concentration camps for 10 years for talking about Tulsa or for saying Matt Gaetz is evil. They wouldn't ban you from the entire internet for talking about Graham Norton Show. They wouldn't temporarily shut down the entire internet for 3 days each year to prevent people from talking about the Iraq War.

Did no one on this godsforsaken site watch the South Park episode about Free Hong Kong?

Did no one realise how hard PRC struck down the Hong Kong umbrella movement (PRC would 139% do the same for Black Lives Matter if it had occured in China)?

Did no one remember GOG's Devotion superscandal?

Did no one remember the time China banned an entire NBA team because one of its staffers didn't like PRC?

Did no one remember the time all of China ganged up on HoloLive on laughably fake charges, and that they still gang up on them to this day?

Bad ss14 update ideas:

Added sleep deprivation system

Salvage is now a tier 3 unlockable department

Fixed QM being a command member

Train is back in rotation (because fuck you)

Fixed clowns being incorrectly marked as non-antags

Added copyright to space law (Playing midis of copyrighted songs will make you wanted)

Removed playtime requirements, instead you must send an in-Character CV to a game admin, who will then interview you to determine whether you will be fit for the role. Failing the interview causes a 6 month role ban. (This is a roleplay game, after all.)

Cosmetics now cost spacebux, a revolutionary crypto currency that will revolutionise the future with revolutionary new technology and aaaaiiiiii.

Added a chat filtering system, to prevent foul language such as #### and #####

"Revenge of the Squ'ith"

Fanart of the Illuminate specie from the Helldivers game.

[theseyellowdays]

(list of banned books in the US)(but I can't find the original source so if anyone does pls spill)

Alright guys who snitched???

[palant1r]

you know, for a series about reckoning with the sins of america's past, the conflict between different forms of governance and the pitfalls of blindly assuming the infallibility of american liberal democracy, and being forced to stop depending on modern technology and search for alternative solutions in an attempt to live in reparative relationship with scarred land or die trying, fallout sure doesn't have that many indigenous people in it, huh.

All 2025 projects have been delayed while I figure out the best route to navigate a Trump presidency. Like I really don't feel like making games anymore.

DIVE INTO HELL FOR THE CHILDREN

I remember when we given the choice of anti tank mines or to save children for no reward....as a helldiver I chose to dive into hell for those kids virtual or not and arrow head awarded our bravery and morality by donating to save the children foundation saving the lives of real children in need, for the first time I felt my gaming hobby actually made a difference and I could be a hero to kids I never met.
