Was it not obvious considering he canonically is an MI6 agent?

Edit: wow, I’m dumb. I completely misread the title. I knew MI6 is British. How did I fuck up that bad?

Happening all over the globe. The capitalist hegemony is getting scared because their system is collapsing in on itself and, through the imperial boomerang, are beginning to employ practices only performed abroad on the interior in order to maintain their power. The US is just far ahead of the curve due to its lack of a functioning political leftwing keeping things in check.

Now is most certainly the time for people to unionize and start relearning why unions formed in the first place: so workers can band together to exert their political will and take ownership over their workplace from a parasitic class that has only ever existed to exploit our labor.

Now with another one of these big bogus showdowns looming down on us, I can already pick up the stench of another bummer. I understand, along with a lot of other people, that the big thing this year is Beating Nixon. But that was also the big thing, as I recall, twelve years ago in 1960 – and as far as I can tell, we’ve gone from bad to worse to rotten since then, and the outlook is for more of the same.

How many more decades of “Just vote harder” does this country need to go through before we realize we aren’t gonna be able to vote our way out of this?

“You see,” my colleague went on, "one doesn’t see exactly where or how to move. Believe me, this is true. Each act, each occasion, is worse than the last, but only a little worse. You wait for the next and the next. You wait for one great shocking occasion, thinking that others, when such a shock comes, will join with you in resisting somehow. You don’t want to act, or even talk, alone; you don’t want to ‘go out of your way to make trouble.’ Why not?—Well, you are not in the habit of doing it. And it is not just fear, fear of standing alone, that restrains you; it is also genuine uncertainty.

Gotta love the Streisand effect.

Capitalism at its finest.

A concert for video game soundtracks? Epic! These artists need more love and attention. Music in video games is an essential but highly underrated aspect of the medium.

Literally is, sorry you are so confused about the subject.

The name isn’t deceptive. It is deliberate.

Yes, it is against Trump, but the reason is because Trump is behaving like a modern day, wannabe King/dictator.

The “right wing” literally is the party of “preserving the norms and authority structures that gave power to the monarchy”.

“Licking boots” is a foundational tenant of right-wing ideology.

We don’t need the causal homophobic insults. That’s their weapon, not ours.

There is nothing insulting about licking dicks if that’s someone’s thing.

Bare minimum should be assault & battery with a deadly weapon.

If they start any nefarious monetization practices, absolutely pull mods. Until then though, I agree. No reason to pull ones that are already there, but definitely be prudent and start casting a wider net.

You don’t need full communism, just make sure companies are owned by the workers

“Companies owned by the workers” is communism. That’s literally what is meant by “shared ownership of the means of production”.

The “means of production” is all the shit that companies own, such as the land, machines, buildings, raw materials, etc…

Let me introduce you to torrenting and community distribution of data.

It could be implemented this way so that no one individual would need to fully shoulder the burden of hosting everything.

Paid mods I think are unlikely, why bother to make a change so unpopular? Milk this shit for a decade and press this button only when shit hits the fan.

Unfortunately, I think this will be likely because Nexus has almost entirely cornered the market on mods. It is the place people get their mods from if not the Steam Workshop.

People would have to actually abandon the convenience and go back to scrolling a bunch of games specific forums for their mods. I don’t see that happening unfortunately and I’m pretty sure the executives at the new company know this. It’s a common marketing tactic to exploit the sunk cost fallacy.

There are plenty, they just aren’t as big or as well designed because they are just small forums, and most are usually game specific.

Nexus was unique in that it was a hub for the modding community, made specifically because people didn’t want to have to browse hundreds of different forums to get their mods that may or may not be compatible with each other. It was a nice convenience while it lasted.

Welp, abandon ship.

I’m just sad they won’t be continuing with games similar to The Lost Crown. 2D PoP games are peak.

For everyone who has ever wanted to do a cannonball run but didn’t have the money to avoid the jail time.
