It normalizes using corporate-owned, corporate-trained, tools that inherently favor corporate perspectives and propaganda. Even an attempt to subvert capitalist messaging can get screwed up by letting the corpo clanker choose what to draw. The images are just inherently biased and weird.

Here, somehow both panels have a white-supremacist and colonialist undertone: we get a white-savior businessman explaining things to a crowd of grateful Asian people; then he’s standing alone in his formal suit, framed as the only rational thinker in an exotic desert.

I understand that both of these interpretations are perhaps a bit of a stretch, but I truly believe that if OP had taken the effort to design and draw their own imagery for these panels, the imagery would not have had these weird colonialist implications that undermine their intended message.

cable management like this is all well and good until it’s time to unplug any individual item

I sent this to my buddy who is an organizer and solicitor for the petition, he’ll be chuffed.

This particular trailer definitely caught my eye. Based on the quick-to-conjure magic carpet mounts and the small-squad gameplay, I think it might play a bit like Elden Ring: Nightreign? It definitely looks like you’ll be bouncing between threats at an arcade-y pace.

Yeah. When they complain I always want to ask them “Really? What did you do with the last $2,000 I gave you?” like a disappointed father.

They certainly flooded the zone, huh.

These leave me feeling so balanced and level-headed, but I don’t like that I end up with a flat affect.

At least on Lemmy we have the rodent mascot

Sumo guys attack and maneuver really fast too. It’s just when they hit the open field, the football dudes are going to have a much faster 40m time.

This is literally the point of an offensive line already, you think those boys can’t sumo wrestle?

Pretty sure the Leftist there would agree

Hope you like making paperclips while Clippy watches you and ratchets up your productivity expectations, buddy.

~also a joke, but an AI with surveillance capabilities has the potential to be a really annoying boss. See Amazon drivers that aren’t allowed to wipe their brow while they drive or take a pee break~

Yeah I have a 20mph one and it feels pretty reasonable tbh

And super inconvenient mountains that you have to route tracks above, around, and through.

Fair enough! Sorry to generalize about the geography of a state I don’t live in. I just drove through Amarillo a couple years back and it was so empty out there that it made a lasting impression 😅

Have you seen how empty Texas is? And how flat it is? It’s kinda ideal train territory. If Norway and Switzerland can set up train routes, the Great Plains certainly can.

The King’s Peach type shit

It feels like the enshittification cycle is so fast these days. There’s not even any time to get comfy as a frog in the pot before they turn up the gas! 🐸

Mazel tov!

Yo! Me too! #FapFoop
