Games to Experience

I’m sick of endless grinding and new content and updates and loot boxes and leveling and ranked matches and micro transactions.

Obra Dinn rocked my world. I haven’t played a game that reminded me of the magic of the medium in years until pic related. Just finished Dredge and it was a cute little experience.

I’d like this thread to be for games that can be finished in a few days and leave an impact. Like when you look at a book on the shelf you’ve read and go ‘oh yeah, that was great’. I want to go through my steam library and not just see slop, I want to see something closer to art.

Recs, please!

They say AI will take over people's jobs, how do we fight against it?

So, I'm a musician, who wants to have a musical career (a lot of communist musicians had stable careers) and meanwhile stupid porkies tell me that "no, we'd prefer if you were replaced, prole, because there if no place for people like you" and I hear, not only music, but other art, computer science, programming etc. will be replaced by AI. How do we stop this, so people are still prosperous in the real socialst societies?

For everybody that fell for the dumbphone meme...

Let me tell you a little secret about flip phones: They run the same hardware as smartphones, just in a different form factor. They're even more proprietary black boxes than the average smartphone and its hard to get even basic specifications. I know because I have one. I'm trying to replace the old version of KaiOS it runs with PostmarketOS; unfortunately, the bootloader is locked. At least with a cheap Android phone you can replace Android with something else.

/ditg/ Dead Internet Theory General

Talk about why every single site except reddit and fbi.gov has been complete and utterly abandoned.

>Interesting things going on

Browsers are all forcing https by default. On the surface this sounds like a good idea but in reality it's part of a larger plan of control.
Website owners are now at the mercy of the cert authorities. Host something they dont like? you cert gets revoked and now your site wont load on 99% of web browsers.
you have been shutdown.

>What is the dead internet theory?

Dead internet is partly caused by a generational problem, zoomers just want to be where they're friends are. it's understandable, we even did the
same back in the 2000s. everyone was on AIM and myspace. The only difference is those platforms actually did allow free speech back then. now the
internet has become more centralized and a handful of big corps run it all. they are in charge of what gets said on their platforms. not you.

>big techs goal

Big tech is fighting a future war. They know the young are the future. It’s about indoctrination. They are building their vision for the future. A dumbed down controlled population.

>What is the purpose of these threads?

To start a community outside of those corporate owned platforms.
To have a place to discuss things without having to self police yourself.
To discuss and share decentralization technologies.

Vtuber General

ITT We discuss about our favorite Vtubers, corpo and indie alike. Liveposting, (Spoilered) Porn and Rateposting are all encouraged.

I'll start with my own recommendation:

Rie Himemiya from Phase Connect [EN] Gen 2 Phase Alias. A Vsinger with great covers and original songs such as Love Potion #520 and ゲテモノ (Bizarre Food) / Utsu-P ♡ to give you two examples.

Her streams as of now center around variety gaming such as her recent playthrough of Pokémon HG/SS as her first Pokémon game although she is mostly focused on Limbus Company and Library of Ruina as well as community projects like Date Ideas for Valentines season or making a love song out of Schizophrenic Maros.

However I do recommend her older VODs as well such as Sandtrix or Gayraoke for her humor and great chat interaction. If you want something more recent check out her 100 songs for 100k Christmas Special from last year. Remember to do your reps and backreading

Legit critiques of leftism

So /edu/ this site is full of threads debunking standard chicken headed talking points but what are some legit criticisms of leftist thought?

I found this book Black Marxism by Cedric Robinson and his thesis runs as following. Marxism and European socialism, instead of being an ideology of the proletariat, was a petty bourgeois ideology born out of a ressentiment for the bourgeoisie and the belief that the proletariat could be better managed. Leftists falsely understood capitalism as a rationalizing force which would create a homogenous proletariat, while in truth capitalism exacerbates racial differences to manage pops more efficiently. Leftists mistake nationalism and racism as essentially reactionary, while in truth it has always played a huge and sometimes preponderant part in history.

Second Kolakowski's book Main Currents of Marxism makes two important claims. Terms like "materialism" and "dialectics" are not well defined leading to ambiguity and confusion. This is why Lenin and the Russian Marxists misinterpreted Marx's materialism as an ontology of matter. Second leftist materialism is determinstic and offers a telological history in which outcomes are predetermined. This undermines human creativity and autonomy and is why the Soviets and "actually existing socialism" became totalitarian in practice. The party led by masters of Marxist theory and technocrats can guide society through more and more bureaucratization cancelling out the need for democratic participation and subordinating individual agency to the needs of the bureaucracy itself. I believe the Maoists saw this and tried to break from it but China ended up producing the same results because even the red guards embraced the same interpretation of historical/dialectical materialism.

I want bring out Carl Schmitt here for all the leftcoms and anarchists. If you have a radically open society you can easily get invaded by an influx of new people. /pol/ stormfaggot colonization of online spaces proves that anarchic environments are highly vulnerable to this type of invasion or the emergence of extremism within. Anarchist societies would not have the means to resist these invaders. Probably why the Zapatistas are scrapping their communal autonomy model because of cartels moving into Chiapas and causing trouble. The anarchist army could resist an external military force. Its been done before. But an anarchist society is prone to collapse and reversal through inability to resist demographic pressure. Lets say your anarchist liberated zone has a large population of MLs who decide to do the coup or just convert people to MLism and change the structure to a bunkerman dictatorship. You can't really stop them without effective policing instruments, surveillence, intelligence agencies but if you build those you end up recreating the state.

MAGA Pedos on Dark Web Plotting against LGBT

I have come across the most insane and disturbing thing. It's a screen recording on I found on another imageboard, buried somewhere deep with no traction or replies, of a deepweb forum called "The Playground".

The contents are extremely disturbing. People are freely discussing child rape, trading children, and discussing child murder. And beyond that, it seems like there's a whole christian fundamentalist pedo agenda ("Creating a Future for Child Lovers"), where based on some biblical stuff, child rape is normalized, and which is actively fermenting outrage against LGBT in order to prevent sex education in schools - all so that raping kids becomes easier, like it was in the times before Sex Ed. And even more disturbingly, it seems these people are in powerful positions, extremely affluent and have a lot of access to power.

The insane thing is that these are the exact people who are spreading the pizzagate and QAnon conspiracies and hysteria, and several right paramilitaries seem to be involved, eg. Oath Keepers (one guy even posts that they were acquitted for January 6th) and Proud Boys, offering human trafficking services on this board.

There is a lot of mention of the MAGA figures, Bondi, Hesgeth and Tulsi Gabbard - in her case there's even a thread ostensibly containing some sort of videos of her. There's talk of Heritage Foundation and their president Jim DeMint. There's mentions of Silicon Valley figures such as Curtis Yarvin, Musk and Sheryl Sandberg (her supposed "personal collection"). There are several references to Orban and trips to Hungary are advertised. This is just scratching the service of everything that can be seen in the screen recording, which was anonymously uploaded to archive.org by a woman that found this page open on her father's computer.

The leak seems pretty recent, dated to March 2025. I did some searches, but I can't find anything else on it, so it must be extremely secretive. It seems that this has gone completely under the radar, so I'm bringing it here for your consideration. And frankly, I'm scared, because I do think it's real. This is too far out there to be fake, I don't think anyone has an imagination wild enough to come up with this.

Here are the links to the screen recordings and screenshots of the board. There's no graphic content in the videos but a lot of graphic discussions.

Visa and mastercard pressured steam to take out some sex games featuring rape and incest off their library the last few days.

https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2025/07/steam-cracks-down-on-some-sex-games-to-appease-payment-processors/

Gamers are unhappy, it's a "first they came for the rapists and I said nothing" moment for them, they can't quite grasp how a wholesome megacorp promoting gambling like steam folded against the evil payment processors and are afraid for free speech and LGBT games.

midi hardware and its socio-cultural consequences

Remember when back in the day you had to have a so-called audio card that would allow your PC to fukken produce sound?

Pepperridge Farm remembers.

Most interestingly, depending on what hardware you had (ADLIB, SoundBlaster, GRAVIS, etc.) you would recieve a completely different end-user experience.

Compare these two:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dHechz7U0sE&pp=ygUWRGlzY3dvcmxkIHNvdW5kYmxhc3RlctIHCQn8AKO1ajebQw%3D%3D (from 38:10)
&
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jAHgpRitmHY&pp=ygUURGlzY3dvcmxkIG9zdCBzdHJlZXQ%3D

It is absolutely unique, to have to have 2-3 different (hardware) interpretations of composed (software) music.

I think there should be theoretical articles written about.the differing "gaming experiences" ppl had/recieved based on their fucking soundcards.

It is cery interesting (to me, at least( that 2 ppl could have played "the same game," yet their hardwares produced 2 different musics. In essence, we can't talk about a singular "gayme experience."

/PROLE VENT/

Was tricked to sign a letter of resignation from my job at the russian post office. Despite the fact that I was on probation and my employment contract was fixed-term (although informally after its termination they almost always offer a full-time position) my…I don't know - supervisor? the main bitch of the workplace? didn't like me because of a couple of fuckups like a cash shortage, which I was really guilty of and paid for out of my own pocket (the statement of financial responsibility was signed by me on the first day of employment), and she decided to lie that the employee I was replacing was about to go to work.
Which was an easily verifiable lie that I realized literally as I closed the door behind me. Ah, yes, since I quit "at my own request", I have to work for three days, so called "otrabotka" (two weeks if you were taken without probation), which I will not do (devilish?), because after signing my resignation letter I am no longer an employee and can not be forced to work.
Also new thing I learned opening the labor code for the first time.
-there is no concept of working after dismissal, but there is a concept of notification before dismissal, so it should be 3 days or 2 weeks before the fact.

Thanks for reading my stupid rant.

Stellaris payback origin is mid.

The stellaris payback origin feels half-baked (like most of the game, actually, like, how come there's no scenario editor? That would be so cash, but Paradox is fearful of success). Firstly the MSI is a shit ass civilization with nothing going on with it, just an megacorp whose type of business is making slaves from pre-FTL worlds by giving them technology and then being like "you have a debt to pay, remember? give me people", but whatever, let's just say it makes sense, mostly because if it didn't there wouldn't be a story to tell.

From there, you start, and the first thing that grinds my gears. They spawn wherever. the MSI should spawn a few stellar systems away from you, so that it makes it one of your interstellar neighbour, in fact they could be a small vassal to a bigger megacorporation that keeps several corporations under their leash and so on, and make the campaing about slowly but surely liberating and killing this supermega-corporation that practically controls the galaxy. But nah, just an advanced state you kinda have war with and be done with this, which would be cool if there were an actual war, but there isn't as they spawn at the other fucking corner of the galaxy.

Anyway, Stellaris thread, the game that could have been peak, but wouldn't for whatever reason. What are your civilizations like? Do you play with humans or as aliens? What's your prefered playstyle?

Travel is Kinda Bullshit

We have no history of travel.So many people out there say they love traveling and will happily tell you about all the places they been to and sights they’ve seen and where they want to go to next. It’s also one of the first things people say they would do if they had more time and money.

But traveling sucks. It’s expensive and tedious. You have to pack, organise a passport, deal with airports, security and there’s just so much waiting! And that’s if everything goes to plan and to schedule. Things can easily get canceled or postponed. Then you’ve got jet lag to deal with, different currencies, language barriers, etc.

Even if you’re not going overseas/flying it’s not like road tripping is any better. Sitting in a car for hours on end just plain sucks.

And don’t think I’m only hating on the actual transport, being away from home sucks too. Whether you’re staying in a hotel or an Airbnb or camping or whatever, you’re away from home and all your things; you’re own bed, your own room, your pets, all your other bits and pieces that make your home your own.

Como lidar com essa moda de viralatismo que está contaminando os zoomers de todo o país?
Sou auxiliar de sala de aula numa escola e todo dia eu escuto Bostil pra ca, Merdil pra la, um estudante já escreveu num trabalho valendo nota pro bimestre.
Ontem um professor advertiu que essa investida dos estadunidenses de querer classificar as facções como terrorista e só pra dar brecha para justificar uma intervenção aqui e os fedelhos riram.
Um disse que se bombardearem os prédios dos três "foderes" ele irá agradecer a Deus, outro disse que se tiver guerra ele se juntaria ao lado inimigo, não importa se e os estados unidos, China, Rússia ou a Venezuela.

/mlp/ My Little Pony

Even though the fandom is pretty dead. I wanted to see what a brony thread on here would look like since I’m a newbie

What does /leftypol/ think about this franchise and the online subculture it spawned? I feel like now that the little girls who made up the target audience are young adults I’ve been seeing more zoomers tell stories about how they were “traumatized” by the adult fandom and it’s becoming more in vogue to decry the whole “brony” phenomenon as “problematic”.

On the other hand though what’s the sociological explanation for millions of grown men becoming obsessed with a little girls cartoon in spite of hegemonic Western gender norms? I’ve read a lot of conflicting theories from academics and culture critics regarding this. Is it autism? Post-Irony? Or is there something about it that just makes it genuinely appealing?

Quantative Economics Study Group

This is an announcement of a study group for: https://quantecon.org/lectures/
These things often fail, but thought to give it a try anyway.

QuantEcon is a series of Jupyter notebooks covering topics of quantitative economics from Xiamen University.
It starts from the very basics of how to write a function in python and progresses to rather advanced mathematics (start at the start).
We might not be able to complete every part of this course, but we'd probably get something valuable from it regardless.
My background is in mathematics (largely forgotten) and some self-taught computer-science so might be able to help.

Was thinking perhaps two weeks or less to get through: https://python-programming.quantecon.org/intro.html
And then slowing down some after that as the course becomes more difficult, and more essential.

GrapheneOS cannot be fully trusted because it runs on Google's proprietary hardware stack, which remains a critical vulnerability. While GrapheneOS markets itself as a privacy-focused alternative, its security is undermined by the fact that it operates on devices like Google's Pixel smartphones—hardware designed and controlled entirely by Google. Unlike other OEMs, Google does not merely integrate off-the-shelf components; it designs its own processors (e.g., Tensor chips) and develops the closed-source firmware and software that power them. Other manufacturers receive binary blobs from chipmakers, which they cannot modify, but Google retains unilateral authority to embed hidden functionalities or surveillance mechanisms directly into the hardware-software ecosystem.

This means Google could inject malicious code into the processor’s firmware—code that operates independently of Android (and thus independently of GrapheneOS itself). Such malware would run at the hardware level, bypassing the operating system entirely and evading detection. If Google exploits this capability in its proprietary GApps, the same logic applies to the foundational software controlling its processors. Since GrapheneOS cannot audit or modify these closed-source components, users are left exposed to potential backdoors.

If you trust GrapheneOS on Pixel devices, you must also trust Google’s closed-source hardware stack—the very same infrastructure that could enable pervasive surveillance. In that case, there is no meaningful distinction between GrapheneOS and stock Android; both rely on Google’s opaque technology. Conversely, if you reject GApps and Google’s data harvesting, you cannot reconcile that distrust with reliance on Google’s hardware. To truly deGoogle, you must abandon devices where the manufacturer controls the silicon itself.

Repeating Crossbows

Want a gun but its impossible to get a gun license in your country? Buy a repeating crossbow. These things will nail the target in a wall behind them.

<Tactical Repeating Crossbow – Maybe this is the biggest innovation in the crossbow market ever – this weapon changes everything.


<The 7.5 inch arrows (or bolts) have screwed-on field points and reach a proud 30 joules at 130 pounds tensile weight. The arrow speed is approximately 78 m/s (256 fps), which makes the Adder accurate even at distances up to 50 meters (55 yards). In our tests, the standard field tips penetrated through several layers of clothing and a thick layer of ballistic gel, then perforated a coconut poured into the gel block. By using the special High-Penetration Bodkin tips, which have razor-sharp edges, this penetration power can be further increased.


<The removable tactical rear stock is adjustable. The weapon can also be used without the rear stock, which makes it even more compact if required. The all-metal red dot visor supplied with the weapon can be adjusted vertically and horizontally.

Am I trans?

I've been wondering if I may be trans for quite awhile now, but everything's so confusing and I feel like I havent gotten any closer to a clear answer.

I'm a dude, but I dont like masculinity at all. I want to be more feminine and look prettier. I have a lot of gripes with my body, however its nowhere near as much as what most people describe as body dysphoria. This may be because I already have a relatively feminine body for a guy, but I dont know.

The main problem I have with being a man is the male gender roles and place in society, not so much the body itself. I hate being expected to be aggresive, emotionless, and be into "manly" things. I feel like if gender roles and gender norms didnt exist at all then I wouldnt have a problem being a man, but they unfortunately do exist. So does that make me trans? Or does it not count because im not dysphoric enough about my body? Am I just faking these feelings and confusing myself?

team fortress 2 dramatics and general

Alright so hi hows everyone doing today, I hope youre doing well. I came here to write a mile-long post bitching about the state of Team Fortress 2, its design, and how commentary around its design has rapidly changed over the past few months.

To introduce people who don't know a shit about TF2; it's basically the game that set in stone the genre of "hero shooter" [Class Shooter] and how it should generally work. Prequels to Team Fortress 2, such as Team Fortress Classic, or Team Fortress [Quake Mod] do exist and show more barebones gameplay, but Team Fortress 2 did the concept so well that it's been solidified as the OG of the genre. The game has been subject to 9 years of pre-release closed-house development [1998 to 2007], 9 years of post-release open-house development in the form of regular updates [2008 to 2017], and then a further 8 going on 9 years of ignorance where there was basically no development and no novel… anything… in the TF2 community [2018 to present].

The biggest implication for (You), random passerby, is that TF2 is a game witha whole bunch of concepts and jargon that are thrown around within the community of TF2 that means something far more specific than what it does outside the TF2 community. For example, when discussing the game's design, "Competitive" is used not just to describe a moment in TF2 where player-versus-player competition is generally increased; be it the Valve-designed mechanic of Dominations [getting 4 kills on a player without said player killing you back, which puts a literal target over your head plus other aesthetics to encourage that player to target you and vice-versa], or the outright existence of organized competitive leagues. In TF2, "Competitive" is used as a shorthand for the rulesets generally used by competitive TF2 leagues. "Valve Competitive" is used as a shorthand for the "competitive TF2 que" that Valve had added in its ill-fated 2016 Meet-Your-Match update. The "Competitive Community" is a semi-existing strata of players who agree that competitive TF2 is good, and its implied at least some of them want "Competitive" to be TF2's main ruleset.

I'm not going to write the whole history, so if you ever have four fucking hours to yourself, I'd recommend watching this video by a local chud of the TF2 community: https://youtu.be/JNxg5stxlhk

This video was announced months hitherto its release, and was desperately awaited by many members of the TF2 community specifically because the consequences of that aforementioned 2016 update [further viewing material: https://youtu.be/IZpuYF__NUU] that were utterly forgotten by the community. The video stands as a very calmly-worded, neutral, but descriptive deep-dive into TF2's development, TF2's release state, TF2's early updates, the culture within Valve relating to moneymaking practices, the TF2 community's culture, the failings of Meet Your Match, and even a 40-minute shamefest saying "so many TF2 youtubers actively were fine with the game being made worse for a stupid grift" thereafter.

Nowadays the bitching surrounding the game is split into two camps. A seeming minority of almost neoliberal-like individuals who seem to have issues grasping reality - I compare them to neoliberals because trying to explain to them that an MMR-matchmaking system for a game as uncontrolled and loose as TF2 is stupid and time-wasting, is like explaining to your boomer relatives that no you cannot buy a $600k house on your current salary. It's literally impossible, they deny reality at every turn for some reason, and there is for whatever reason institutional bias in their favour. Probably something to do with the Emporium, a literal cartel surrounding the TF2 workshop, because money is the usual motive for bullshit like this.

This camp of people has been coming out with progressively worse and worse takes from the large YouTubers occupying said camp. I'm not going to post the videos, but I recall two particularly bad videos which came out this week that clearly had a script written by someone who wanted to make a point - one of these videos is two fucking hours, and is well-edited throughout. But… these people came out with some of the worst takes imaginable. The TF2 community had been unironically protesting and petitioning Valve to make positive changes to the game. Most of them worked out exactly as the community had wanted. One individual thinks that now the game is barely playable, that players should stop pestering Valve for improvements. Their reasoning? "Valve just won't do it". Another YouTuber wanted to defend the Competitive TF2 community by saying they weren't directly responsible for the Meet Your Match update. Obviously true, if not a little willing to sweep events under the rug here-and-there. But when this person spent literal hours trying to compare Team Fortress 2, a first person shooter from 2007, to fucking Street Fighter II - including a dissertation of a few of its game mechanics, over the span of half an hour out of a 2-hour long video - it's clear that they have very little evidence to go off of.

The other camp is the increasingly populist camp of people who just want Valve to unfuck the game lol. I bring this up because it's vaguely similar to a very burgerpunk-coded concept of class politics.

/salt/ - salting general

a thread for salting, becoming a salt




You just went from working a solid career-type job to working retail or fast food again? Become a salt. Recession compression creates ideal salting conditions–downward mobility, employer arrogance, worker bitterness. Embed without announcing. Become dependable, a communist should be the hardest working man in the shop, stay observant, find the cracks, then slow corrosive. Learn the workplace rhythms, identify informal leaders, exploit management contradictions. Never preach–weaponize the material conditions and shared misery. Reinforce that exploitation isn't personal, it's structural. Organize under cover of small talk. Normalize resistance. You're not radical–you're just the one who says what everyone’s already thinking.

https://industrialworker.org/salt-is-back-on-the-table/
For those unfamiliar, salting is when workers seek employment for the purposes of kick-starting an organizing campaign, or to assist an organizing campaign already in motion. Salting can come in a variety of various strategies, depending on what organizing looks like in a specific shop or what the conditions are like in a specific industry.

/herb/ - Herbology General

What are your favourite herbs, anons? Been experimenting with anything new?

<Asafoetida

<Nigella seeds
<Mustard seeds
<Mustard oil
<Sichuan pepper
<Black pepper
<Garlic
<Turmeric
<Coriander
<Tarragon
<Wormwood
<sage
<parsley


I like plants in general. I also firmly believe they can feel your intention somehow. If you care about them, if you feel positively about them they react positively too. It sounds bs but that's my experience with them.
Cost nothing to try if you have a plant yourself.
Another thing people say they cam detect is music. I have a theory that it is not so much the music itself rather patterns in vibration.


Tobacco. The victorians prescribed it for non serious mental illnesses like insomnia. It really works.

I smoke rollies and specifically pueblo and american spirit as they don't contain as many chemicals. It's just plant matter and cancer is probably caused by the fucking deathsticks they call cigarettes.

Preferably smoke your own home grown stuff but I live in a cold climate.Native Americans say it’s to keep away negative entities

loquat appears to have anti-diabetic and even anti-cancer properties

Rosemary is general anti inflammatory and so is sage. I think most mental illness is caused by brain inflammation as a result of trauma. These herbs all have anti inflammatory properties. So do polyphenols in berries and colored fruits.

Chanca piedra (AKA Stonebreaker) is a traditional peruvian herbal remedy for kidney and gallstones

I cut the top off pineapples and grow them in buckets. They handle extreme heat and cold really well. Then I take the new pineapple leaves and eat them. Same thing with melon plants I grow from saved seeds of store bought melons.
Some make pineapple or melon leaf tea but I put the leaves in my blender with frozen berries
It kills parasites too

I use herbs as teas, but not regularly. Green mint is the best, occasionally I will use thyme or rosemary.
Planning to do some wild herb gathering when the spring comes.
I have some dried juniper(us communis) berries and was told they could be used as incense, haven't tried that yet.

For anyone interested in dreaming (lucid or not), I highly recommend mexican dream herb (calea zacatechichi)

Trans people and communism

I've noticed for a while now that trans people on average are much more likely to be communists or socialists. I've never really thought about it, but why could that be? I've had this image saved since early 2023 (when I started noticing this) and have seen a lot more trans communists since.
I mean, I guess it could be the hiring discrimination they face, but you don't need to change economic systems to introduce anti- discrimination legislation.

I listen to Kino almost religiously, it genuinely changed my life and I haven't found a band that makes me feel the same way. I have a friend who I showed this group to and he loved it, I even saw the movie Igla.

The Arthas Controversy

So there's a famous scene in Warcraft 3 where Arthas, upon seeing that grain infected with the undead plague had been distributed in Stratholme, orders the city purged.

There's some controversy over whether Arthas was wrong for doing this. On one hand, if you play the game, Arthas can come across as something of a John Snow-like character in the sense that he's the only one that seems to be taking the plague and the undead Scourge as the dire, even apocalyptic threat that they actually are. In the Stratholme level itself, the citizens are actively turning into the undead as you meet them, while the Scourge are present and active in the city, lead by Mal'ganis who is swelling their numbers with infected citizens. This might lead a player to conclude that Arthas is doing what is necessary to prevent the Scourge from getting a city-sized army and preventing his subjects from becoming the mindless slaves of the Lich King. A mercy kill, if you will.

But there are many, including the writers who seem to disagree. In fact, the guy who wrote the mission apparently thinks its obvious that Arthas was in the wrong and that you're a psycho if you think otherwise.

What causes this disconnect?

Ancient economy?

When it comes to the study of ancient economic history, one is faced with serious difficulties as a beginner. The usual textbooks normally cover the "histoire événementielle", i.e., the succession of notable historical events and actors (the surface of history), while the works that do cover ancient socioeconomic history are hard to find or outdated, such as Finley's famous book.

Does anyone here have some knowledge in the matter? Can anyone recommend a study process or bibliography? Should one first read the basic textbooks of histoire événementielle and later on deepen the matter or skip directly to the socioeconomic outlook?

I am very lost in this matter and I don't know where to begin, and I'm sure a lot of people are in the same situation in here. And I believe it is very important to have, at least, a broad outlook on the progression of economic history until capitalism, to maybe deepen more specifically in modern history and economics, but with a general view of what came before and the evolution of the present mode of production.
