We have a new Minecraft server! Here's how to join.

  1. Join the Matrix chat.
  2. Get through the Antechamber.
  3. Request access to the Minecraft room, in which case you'll be added and further instructions will be provided.


The server is cracked, running Drasl for account management. This means that despite that, custom skins (and capes) work. The world is backed up regularly, so don't bother trying to grief. We also have Simple Voice Chat on so you can chat with nearby players or have a group chat depending on what you're doing. Otherwise, we're sticking as close to vanilla as possible and keeping the modlist slim. If there's any QoL changes you'd like to suggest, feel free to do so here!

Any HUMINT at an ROTC campus (Echelon Quebec, Falun Gong PRCC, American University Middle East, or United States "Snakes"), will have a full Rabbinical staff to supplement the Jewish law fraternity, Sigma Epsilon.

If framed for a copycat, even Eisenhower, you will be inquired if you're "Jewish", by a Rabbi who has stalked you to your fateful brush with death.

If you were Episcopal, Lutheran, or Synagogue, you'd be Sigma Epsilon; now a Rabbi.

Otherwise, you are expected to be an anti-Semite, and refuse Jewry; you already know if you're Jewish, you had a congregation to make it into college.

At the completion of two semesters after registration of federal province service (freshman year), you will be informed of what you are, and what military intelligence has done.

Normally, a left brain hemorrhage, is schizophrenic.

However, English (Huns) and Polish (Aryans), reverse their cerebrum and eye dominance.

The neverending quest to rewrite vichan -

Archived threads:
https://archive.is/xiA7y
309 posts and 68 image replies omitted.

Just completed feeds, and sorting, called them Score, Bump, and New. 5000 lines now.

Am thinking of something sort of complex to avoid sybil attacks:
  • A minimum karma statistic for votes, and posts to count towards rank.
  • SybilGuard once passed the karma statistic to check for voting rings.
  • Escalating bans from board if sufficient rank changing negative karma (broken hearts).


So even if you had a residential proxy service with many IPv4s, and an email server you couldn't manipulate.

Day 14 update, 6000 lines total. Got 99% of pagination & doomscrolling working, a small error to do with posting that will fix later. Got "remember me" working, a parser for posts, and avoid relay behavior in the federation layer. Plan for the day is finish off pagination, add a captcha for signup (the only captcha), and HTML sanitation for the federation layer.

>>34731
Got all this done yesterday. Plus started on remote profile fetches — they aren't currently signed so some of the fediverse 404s. We're probably looking at another two weeks until feature complete. Have also been working on language enhancers this may as well serve as an all call for anyone interested in sharing what they'd see changed in English. I've got a pretty long list but I'll leave it as a surprise, mostly they seek to subjectivize, relax, and encourage flow. In a separate all call will soon be interested in recruiting UX that is creative or particularly good from you all. Assuming anyone expresses interest.

I'm really starting to blow some of my complexity budget on caching and fetching of remote profile outboxes. About 1200 lines. I'm ripping it up, and just having remote profiles contain messages that have reached the federation endpoints via follows, and replies. Apparently this is what mastodon does anyway.

Am going to come back down to earth a little, and stop complecting, the SybilGuard is likely to be the most complex part of the application (but seems necessary). Next steps after this are votes and deletes.

Yi xin edition. Got some buttons up, still have to review the karma code, and implement the delete/report button. Good news is that bailing on the outbox traversal, and now on the remote Likes the only thing left in the federation layer is fep-228, and posts addressing multiple Groups (both of which truthfully could wait).

ISSO É UMA FIRMA DE FUNDO DE GARAGEM QUE SÓ ATENDE GATO PINGADO COM QI BAIXO DEMAIS PRA RESOLVER OS PRÓPRIOS PROBLEMAS. (90% do trabalho é responder coisa q dá pra achar fácil no google, e os outros 10% é fazer coisa que qualquer ser humano alfabetizado deveria conseguir fazer sozinho com um computador, mais ainda agr q LLM dá em árvore.

Engraçado é que o perfil dos funcionários nas 2 empresas q eram mais extremas em cada direção eram o exato contrário tbm. Na Seu Zé LTDA quase todo atendente sabia inglês autodidata, sabia usar o computador, tinha repertório fora de reels e shorts, tipo, o mínimo pra não ser npc.

and the most "hardcore oldfag" gamers spend more time complaining about videogames than playing them

So, with Bioware officially dead, which of the two "spiritual sequels" do you think is more likely to carry its torch?

The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, which is being made by the independent "Cypriot" (Russian) RPG developer Owlcat Games (the same guys who made the Pathfinder and Rogue Trader games) and is based in the Expanse universe, which is a relatively near-future harder sci-fi setting.

or

Exodus, which is being made by Archetype Entertainment, an American development studio which was founded by three former Bioware devs and is a division of Wizards of the Coast (itself a subsidiary of Hasbro), based on an original setting which looks like its more far-future and soft sci-fi.

File: 1793831559824-1.png (785.27 KB, 2400x1606, elder scrolls 6 sentinel.png)

 

Recently, fantasy media has been doing diversity in the absolute dumbest and laziest way possible, which is to continue to do European-based medieval fantasy and just make all the characters (including the magical creatures) a completely random smattering of all ethnic appearances and calling it a day. No explanation for why a backwoods medieval farming village appears so cosmopolitan it makes New York City look like an ethnostate. And no recognition of non-European cultures either, it's just straight European fantasy and all cultures and people are treated as European with their appearance being purest tokenism.

But with the Elder Scrolls deciding to put the next game in Hammerfell, land of the Redguards, we have an opportunity to have a fantasy world based on non-European cultures with a largely black and brown native population since the Redguards are based on North African peoples. Its an opportunity to show that you can have a successful fantasy world based on non-European cultures with a mostly non-white population, and the right will no longer have the justified complaint that its shitty worldbuilding (and, despite culture war contrarianism, I think everyone knows that the aforementioned trend IS shitty worldbuilding) and they will be forced to fall back on naked racism, which will cause them recede back into their corners of society.

But all that depends on the game itself actually being good and with modern Bethesda that is a big question.

Squads are getting smaller now and the Ukraine war tends to show a lot of troops completely isolated/cut off getting into firefights within 10-20m of one another in a trench, its fairly likely. Im not saying 'spray and pray', just that optics arent going to be much use at best and a hindrance at worst.

>>6470
???
gore videos from gopros are not a statistic
most encounters still happen >100m; drones make infiltration less likely because the other side is more likely to see you coming
also, I assume it's easier to shoot down a drone with a red point than with iron sights

>>6470
Dude, if you're fighting in a trench than you're are way past worrying about any of this shit. You should practice how to shoot down drones and how to take cover from artillery strikes. I really didn't go far enough in that other post. If you're thinking that you're going to fight not as part of a conscript in a national army like Ukraine, your main focus(at least with guns) should be shooting from a location you are never seen from. If you're seen you're fucked. Really sniping is the only viable tactic for guerillas and insurgents with firearms. Either that or train with a concealable weapon on how to get the drop on people and then getting away.

>>6471
>>6472

>most encounters still happen >100m; drones make infiltration less likely because the other side is more likely to see you coming

not really, its either urban building fighting, close range innawoods or trench sweeping- most of ukraine is flat open fields, trying to plink someone 100-200m away where? while standing in a open field? Most troops get driven in at high speeds and dive into trenches or cover and are constantly mobile to prevent them getting mogged by drones or arty.

Optics are cool and all but I think the most you'd want is a robust red dot or holo, actually using an optic with a magnfying scope on it will break easily or not find much practical use.

>Dude, if you're fighting in a trench than you're are way past worrying about any of this shit

It is the most practical application of your firearm outside of learning to react to someone trying to shoot you, or intervening in a 3rd party - in the first situation modern doctrine tends to teach mag dumping to the chest as fast as you can, in the 2nd you might have time to aim a bit better, either way an optic on what, a pistol? The only reason you'd need a bigger scope is for hunting (mostly stationary) or for the range (not practical)

Comrades,

Today marks a historic turning point in the history of this thread. After years of revisionist degeneration, bureaucratic mismanagement and ideological opportunism by the mod team, General Secretary Erva has proclaimed the establishment of the People's Republic of Erva.

Let it be made clear that the Republic's territorial claims are limited exclusively to this particular thread on the LGBT board. We have no ambitions beyond its borders (for now).

The so-called moderators have abandoned the revolutionary line. Their moderation is nothing but bourgeois bureaucratism dressed up as administrative necessity. They fear the masses, they fear criticism, and above all they fear Erva.

Effective immediately, this thread is declared a sovereign socialist republic under the leadership of General Secretary Erva. All shitposts shall be collectivised, all revisionism condemned, and all deviations from the Erva line subjected to criticism and self-criticism.

Furthermore, General Secretary Erva reserves the inalienable right to engage in attention whoring, shameless self-promotion and posting about herself at any hour of the day. Such activities are to be recognised as essential revolutionary labour and exempt from criticism.

The mods may have the banhammer, but we have historical materialism on our side.

Long live the People's Republic of Erva!

I played it for the first time about 6 months ago. Got the "bad" ending and was then too lazy to go back and keep playing for the other endings. It felt like a weird cross between Half Life 1 and Fallout 3. It was very linear, but also kind of "open world." There's factions but it's super easy to permanently piss them off. Duty was on my ass every time I was in the Bar area and I had to save scum and keep killing them until there was a mountain of corpses outside the bar. I didn't like all the backtracking to do side quests, which for me is the main thing I usually do in games like this. I did like the realism of the firefights which was ahead of its time. Guns felt correctly inaccurate from a distance and taking out random unaligned stalkers in their little hideouts was riveting. The anomalies were sometimes interesting but usually really annoying. I found myself selling the artifacts instead of wearing them, because I preferred to have a lot of guns and health packs.

You probably might want to skip Clear Sky if you didn't totally fall in love with the first game, but Call of Pripyat improves upon SoC in almost every aspect, I swear. The basic idea of the game and mostly the engine is the same of course.

While I find your analysis of the game pretty much accurate, I don't even know why but I think STALKER is my favorite game series ever? I've spent 140 hours in SoC alone. I think it's the atmosphere. And mods make the games more open-world so you can waste away days playing

I'm playing it rn, the devs are are a bit chauvinistic about the war iirc which may have led to some russian chuds thinking they live in the soviet union seethe but the game is quite fine even if I would have hoped for something better. I don't think it's anti soviet, or all the franchise can be read as much… After all it echoes the IRL Chernobyl incident which was caused by scientists and engineers overconfidence, a poor safety culture, too much secretiveness and general mismanagement. Which are themes that are in all the games, 2 comprised, with all the experiments going awry, the military constantly failing to take control of the situation, a secretive group scheming in the background and so on.

The backstory.
I hate my landlord I really hate that guy, the fuck decided to walk into my room when I did go on vacation despite me telling him not to do that.
The peace of shit also admitted this to my face.

To give you any idea the retard did place a rat in my room and told me it is my fault and I need to pay up because
<Herp-derp rat
I told him this is not difficult to figure out since before I did go on vacation there was no rat I come back and there is a rat.

This is my life!

Either way the fagot placed cameras all over the house and I told him to take the one off that is next to my door because it literally flashes and blinds me with some 1 billion gigawat LED or some shit.

He refuses. There are cameras all over the house. I truly despise the fagot

So I decided to place a camera to see if the fuck walks into my room or what he is doing there

>this is an odd way to look at any piece of art
if the art doesn't want me to look at it that way, it shouldn't spend so much time engaging what it treats as childlike interpretations. it's the same mantra as "all art is political"- i CAN look at the teletubbies and wonder "are the writers portraying the benefits of a non-nuclear model of childcare in having the tubbies largely exist as equals? or do the nuances of their relationship reveal cultural carryovers, e.g. tinky winky as a masculine-coded authority?", but i'd be wasting my time because inference can only go so far w/o intention, the nucleus of all art
>i guess it would be functionalist?
which is different to this in that i don't think the creator REGARDS their work as being for children, but still feels compelled to argue with them? imagine; melfi, in her conversation with kupferberg about tony, going
>… maybe my tony and his soprano really are inseparable!
it'd be idiotic, right? after all that effort showing you that evil can't be compartmentalized, our understanding of sociopathy has been prescribed from one guy to… two guys. imagine; as achilles grants king priam hector's body, he says
>heh, i'm such a big softie deep down!
… sure, it's still depth, but it completely flattens not just achilles, agammemnon, etc., but the entire conflict's subtext of the greek understandings of good war being a mutually ruinous facade in it's "civilization", imagine; schierke sits down with the beast of darkness and says
>geez, this femto guy seems powerful! i don't think we should fight him, guts!
… on one hand, powerscaling mouth-breathers now understand that guts is not kratos killing ares. on the other hand, the story now has gow1's depth- sorry, were you more interested in why guts thinks he isn't death-marching himself into the palm of the godhand? does he care? is he motivated by something else? do other, more healthy motivations exist around him? is femto even the man he wants to kill anymore? fuck, why not make them 3 distinct characters in a hotline miami-esque dream to tell the audience he isn't gay and that he just fucking hates being a cripple

i think if the teletubbies suddenly had an episode where like poopie or whatever breaks down and starts an hour-lenght confessional, then that'd be worthy of examining, sure. not sure how you'd pull that off but even as a "honey and blood". kinda disasterpiece then it would be fun to analyze it. besides that, TADC is not made for literal toddlers, but teens and preteens who would be going through a at least some emotions of inadequacy, particularly if you identify as queer. adults can relate because they were teenagers once and can feel emotionally moved too. you'd think this was obvious! gooseworks is doing something bold, sure, but it's not doing something not intended for kids, rather she's elevating a children's cartoon, which seems respectable to me. you're just looking through a tight lens which requires assuming teens cant feel complex emotion AND that cartoons are meant to just be silly or exciting. which is, well, an odd way to look at things.

> if it's gotten lost in translation
it did, i'm afraid, what the fuck was that

as an aside, teletubbies is worth examining because it champions a particular style of pedagogy that is now largely discredited, it was meant to teach children how to speak but it turns out them bumbling and repeating words like imbeciles was actually counterproductive. does this it at least not strike you as fun trivia to tell your friends?

i wouldn't call this a "point", rather it's a cop-out meant to short circuit any discussion because you have nothing to say, but it's hidden in a a paper thin veneer of pretentiousness. like i said, i was recommended this by a girl who is very much into art movies. hell, fucking sam bodrojan liked TADC, and she's as pretentious as they come. there's no reason why you can't enjoy this and also la chinoise or whatever.

Loosh farm isn't real, sadistic monsters who enjoy rape and murder are real. Like people pay to go to war zones to rape children and kill people. It's no different than the human sacrifices and god kings of the bronze age or the brothel factories of classical Greece. The ruling class are sick fucks sometimes. Like Billy Picton kind of shit is just your ordinary boring rich bastard shit. There's no need for bringing the demiurge into it. They're mostly ordinary people who get a rush out of abusing others and feeling powerful. Psychopaths are slightly less intelligent than average but they're really not that different from regular people. They just have all the power in the world to cultivate the worst aspects of themselves.

Buddhism is fucking predatory as shit, only saved by the fact that its buzzwords are parroted around. Seems like it was rightfully criticized since early Hinduism until the 1900s where it got syncretized because of opportunism. Really don't believe it's compatible with socialism, especially with it's buzzwords like "mindfullness" and "manifestation" becoming commonplace.

>>1085>>1075 I'll briefly cover 4 types of worship in anxiety Greece: Olympian, Rustic, Chthonic, and Orphic.
And we do have knowledge how the Greeks of the middle period worshipped, not only from art and statuary but also from preserved written hymns like the famed hymn of Demeter, likely performed by her priestesses!(Link below)
For most people, religion was a public and political affair, not the praying-to-God before-bed-type of religion. The closest we have to prevalent worship was worship to Hestia, goddess of the hearth, protector of the family who reverb praise before meals at home or staying the day.
The actual gods would change from city to city but usually would at least include Zeus , Poseidon, and one of the Olympian goddesses. Sometimes a titan or mereid like Thetis. This is the Olympian cult. Sacrifice might be deity-specific, like Olive Oil for Athena, but when in doubt all gods are pleased with the burnt entrails of a white ox or other large animal!
Outside of major urban areas the Olympic cult was less prevalent. In the countryside, Rustic gods like Pan were worshipped. I don't know much about /how/ they were worshipped, but we have a good idea of whichever deities and why.
Chthonic, or "underworld" gods, were also whales to a leader extent. This includes Hades, Persephone, Hecate and was associated with magic. Sacrifices were animals buried alive.
The last type and only kind with any excited of being outlawed that I'm aware of is the Orphic cult, a proto-gnostic group that believed that c death could be conquered. Mostly worshipped Demeter, Dionysus.
There are also "mystery cults" that we only know of from mentions but have no surviving details.

Judaism, and it's heretical offshoot Christianity.

The amount of child sacrifice symbolism in the Torah and Bible is enough for me. Besides, YHWH was created partly from Mlk, the god to whom the phoenicians sacrificed babies.

>what religion explains this?
Judaims and American evangelical protestantism. Both are fundamentally elitist, predatory and imbued with "fuck you, got mine" attitude.

if you read the old testament with its original context in mind, that is to say, a collection of parables and historical accounts and social commentaries from the perspective of a largely nomadic/semi-nomadic iron age society composed of shepherds and farmers living simple frugal lives, you may notice that much of its content is a running critique of the much larger and wealthier and more powerful neighboring pagan empires who ruled the world in those days. these societies are continually criticized for their idolatry and their greed and their brutality and their authoritarianism and their deification of human oligarchs and their extreme levels of carnal excess and material extravagance, these were societies where 99% of the population were peasants and slaves kept in a state of perpetual starvation and illiteracy and ignorance and utter helplessness, while the 1% were living in great gilded palaces having drunken depraved orgies with child catamites and incestuously breeding their own children with one another to preserve their noble bloodlines and abandoning their large numbers of deformed/disabled infants to be eaten by wild animals or burning them to death as human sacrifices for the greater good of the race.

does any of this seem familiar to you? a religion is merely a reflection of the society that invented it, a formalization of the customs and traditions and values (or lackthereof) that they already exhibit in their daily lives, so naturally the religion of an empire will reflect all the cruelties and excesses of the empire. religion is the smoke, society is the fire. it is not religion that you should be pointing the finger at, it is the empire. and the empire has existed for as long as organized permanent human settlements have existed, since the dawn of the neolithic era when humans discovered how to tame animals and grow crops and humans were confronted with the intoxicatingly alluring notion that the earth could be something that belongs to them rather than the other way around. it was inevitable that this would happen, it's just simple cause and effect and it could never have turned out differently, the empire was always there lying dormant in our brains and it was just waiting for us to figure out how to make it into a reality. there are no demons, there are no witches, there are no gods or devils using us as instruments for their grand ambitions, there are no convenient outside excuses we can point to which will absolve us of our aPost too long.
