Mark Cooke, the founder and CEO of Shiny Shoe, is eager to show off the upgrades. We're talking new character classes, fresh worlds to explore, and also loads of tweaks that make everything smoother.

Daisuke to me represents the type of person who you have to bottle up your pain around because they are ill equipped to handle it. He would realistically not know what to do realizing that among the people he idolizes one is this horrendous monster, especially since he is so optimistic to a hazardous level to himself.

This makes his relationship with Anya so upsetting because as much as he could confide in her she could never confide in him. That very conscious fact/choice on her part is a constant reminder of her suffering along with the hopeless inability to do anything herself about it that ruins her mental state more.

You ever heard the name Baragaki? It's for nasty kids that prick you if you get too close. That's what we called the bad boys where I'm from. Including him. Baragaki no Toshi.

i guess the reason i'm not an anarchist is that i don't think if you get enough people in your community doing mutual aid that one day white supremacy and colonialism are going to poof out of existence. there's a bunch of intermediate steps between those two things, and a lot of them involve large-scale organization, and when it comes to large-scale organization, at some point you're gonna have to do a thing that looks a lot like taking the reins of state power to influence policy.

that necessarily implies some degree of compromise and coalition building and dirty, dirty politics. but i would prefer that people actually do the work of building a better world instead of sitting around in their mutual aid groups going "if only we had a way to organize on a large scale and somehow exert influence government policy! guess this is an unsolvable problem."

Experience A Tactical Action Twist With a Chance to Play Arco

Arco Demo for the tactical action game is now available to play on Linux via Proton with Windows PC. Thanks to the creative team of Franek, Max Cahill, Bibiki, and Fáyer. Now available to try on Steam. Arco, a new tactical action title, and the developers have just released a demo. It's very playable on Linux via Proton, and it's worth playing, especially if you're into RPGs with a twist. First off, the demo itself is a great sample of what the launch has in store. You get to step into the shoes of Itzae, one of the four main characters in the full version. Each of these characters has their unique scenario, adding heaps of replay value. This includes a tutorial to get you up to speed, and a portion of the campaign to immerse you in the world. As well as a mysterious dungeon to explore. But wait, there's more! The Arco demo also features an Arena mode. This is where you can dive deep into the combat mechanics of the game. It's a playground to test different strategies, customize your character, and get a feel for how battles will take place. This is particularly unique since the game boasts a “simultaneous turn-based” combat system. As a result, you have to plan your moves smartly and anticipate your opponent's actions.

Arco: A Closer Look at Gameplay in the Demo

Speaking of the team behind the Arco demo, it's an international dream team. Including the talents of Franek Nowotniak from Poland, bringing pixel art to life. Max Cahill from Australia weaving the gameplay. José Ramón "Bibiki" García from Spain creating a deep soundscape. And of course Antonio "Fáyer" Uribe from Mexico, an industry pro. This blend of global creativity really shines in every aspect of gameplay. Due to release on Steam later this year, taking you on a journey through a stunning world filled with forests, plains, and deserts. Your mission? To take down the Red Company gang. As you progress, you'll encounter different warriors, colonizers, and creatures. Each step is a chance to shape your story, which unfolds through the outlooks of four distinct heroes. What makes the Arco demo stand out is its emphasis on strategy. You’re not just hacking and slashing your way through; you're thinking, planning, and adapting. On top of that, you're unlocking new skills, recruiting allies, and gathering resources. The story is engaging, offering a tale full of danger and excitement that unravels in a beautifully crafted world. So, if you're looking for something fresh and engaging in the RPG arena, definitely give the Arco demo a try. It's a glimpse into a tactical action game that promises to be both challenging and captivating. I'm looking forward to seeing the full Linux launch later this year! Currently playable via Proton with the Windows PC build on Steam.

Shi WuDu and the Black Water Arc ARE the embodiment of the trolley problem.

If he pulled the lever one way, a stranger and his family dies, if he does nothing, his brother dies. He's responsible for death either way. Act or don't, somebody will die,

Overall, he's not the villain *in the fate changing incident specifically* all he did was pull the lever to switch the track. Sure, he "became the villain" POV wise but the real villain, the broken trolley, was Reverend of empty words.

Using a manipulation and fallacy tactic

"if A doesn't do _____, then I will do *specific harm* to B"

The blame then gets pinned on someone who wasn't ever responsible for the situation and the real criminal gets off without consequence.

Yes, SWD's actions got people klled but all he did was pull a lever, the RoEW trolley did the klling.
