I’m currently playing Fallout 4 on my Steam Deck. The impressive caveat here is that I’m also running 800+ mods on it. I also used my Steam Deck to play Grounded 2’s early access when it came out. I’m not here to boast about the performance or anything, neither broke 40 FPS, but both maintained a stable framerate. I feel like you’re underestimating the use cases for the Deck.
You can’t beat reading, but the Hammer and Sickle podcast is great entry level content and provides sources for further reading.
There’s a good moral to be found here regarding essessentialism, that no one is defined entirely by one belief or action. Its healthy to be able to identify where you agree and disagree with a person, and not necessarily consider their opinions as a holistic package, instead a fracture of differently informed experiences. If you can work together with the parts you agree with, and not be held back by disagreements, you’ll achieve more than those who are caught on purity and optics.
no gods no kings no masters my friends, also no universal healthcare or unparalleled literacy rate or or or i just don’t want to be told what to do!!
you hit it with a “@grok is this true”
but at what cost?
I think there are lots of good arguments to raise against AI, even for personal hobby projects. I don’t think ‘you can learn to code yourself’ will ever be one of them.
fundie father in law recently found out I was into commie shit and spent months sending me book recommendations of the most unhinged variety, finally sat me down to ‘sort me out straight’ and actually talk about how we view the world and OP’s picture is a great interpretation of what that looked like
These sweaters are giving me the urge to consoom.
'So it’s a combination of genuine passion and also a fear of being a low value individual.’
She also touched upon another aspect of her personality, saying: ‘If I could change one thing about my past, I would tell myself to enjoy myself a little bit more rather than being so riddled with anxiety. But that’s more in social settings than anything else.’
I wonder if these two concepts are linked in any way. hmmm
Who made you the hot take police, huh?
I think this is the most noticeable difference between someone who has read theory, and someone who has had it regurgitated to them via a podcast. You end up with critical thinking skills you can apply to your real life if you read it. Otherwise, you just forcibly apply hundreds-year-old theory to a world you clearly don’t actually live in.
That’s my needless speculation for the day. Thanks for sharing OP
It’s a wonder how understanding class politics doesn’t just ‘make’ more advanced ideas click into place. Do we have to at least give it to him for considering the proletariat?
smh can’t believe these tankers keep forgetting about man standing in front of tank!
in my highly educated opinion, man standing in front of military vehicle is the greatest sin. next, they’ll be advocating for giant spoons to make a come back. fucking tankers
yooo whats up its ya boi youtubeman here, back at it again with a fresh video
today we’re going to explore the exploitative practice of monetizing a children’s video game server. so first thing i’m going to do is give them $100
bub games this guy ain’t
I can’t wait to enjoy this change in 4-5 years when I pick up Battlefield 6 for $1.50 on a Steam sale.
I don’t see a purpose to this line of thinking outside of shaming consumerist lifestyles. Which, while absolutely worth denigrating, are imposed on and used to pacify. I think it fails to address the unique conditions in the west. Outside of the west, I think you have more of a leg to stand on.
When western countries hover between 50-70% in ‘white collar’ work, it’s debatable exactly what masses you’re talking about. I don’t think the struggles for socialism can be or should be experienced only by those in poverty. There’s an obvious contradiction in building socialism in the west at all, but that doesn’t mean we still don’t need to do it as a moral imperative.
They should fully integrate touch screen and controller based navigation for the steam deck. Its wild how the store doesn’t work that well on their hardware.
I’ve heard a lot of similar things in my time browsing Chinese social media. I didn’t see much of any LGBT presence when I visited there years ago, so everything I’m saying is white boy western speculation, but -
Identity-based cultural changes move much faster in liberalized countries with a strong focus on the individual. That’s the only reason why transgender rights have progressed as fast as they have in the past two decades. I’m not making a value statement here on either liberalization or the rapid onset of transgender acceptance in the west. I just think the TQ+ side of the equation found easier footing in the west because they worship the individual (Not that I would describe the cultural change as ‘easy’ in general).
My general read of the situation based off what memes are deemed acceptable on Chinese social media is that LGB rights aren’t as hotly contested as TQ+ rights, and the Chinese cultural climate is still in a period of change regarding this. There’s no specific anti-discrimination laws based on sexuality, for example, but the rates of homosexuality in the population is observed as roughly the same in the west. This suggests people aren’t repressing their sexuality any more than they already are in the west.
You also see almost no anti homosexual sentiment on social media, but anti transgender sentiment is very common (again, based on personal experience with their social media feeds. YMMV)
I think it’s inevitable that China catches up in this regard, it will just take longer. The thing about minority groups is they’ll usually end up organizing and advocating for themselves in political ways. For the time being, I wouldn’t celebrate China as a cultural bastion for sexual minorities or anything.
The puppy won’t get any easier, it’ll only get harder. It will get a lot harder before it gets any better. Honestly puppy training sucks. Are you a big dog person? Do you need to raise this dog? Why not home another older/well trained dog? Senior dogs are in dire need of homes everywhere.
That being said you will rise to a challenge if you set it for yourself. I know you probably don’t resonate with that reasoning right now, but if you try to internalize it you’ll find yourself fighting regardless of how bleak it all seems.
