So I do this largely forum-based RP and one of the big things there is 'faction' RP, where there's a big emphasis put on geopolitical stuff. Since like 2019 I was doing RP partly as an exercise in social fiction. I also run a character who left the Jedi Order because it was full of idealist pussies and liberals. He has since become Mand'alor and rides a boomer-ass Basilisk droid into battle, it's kino shit.

The Solidarity started as a coalition of Outer Rim spacers, droids, and AGIs who rose out of a massive slave revolt during the Hutts’ collapse. By ~300 ABY, they’ve grown into a hyperstate of around 100,000 planets, running on a centrally planned economy and labor-credit system. Their alliance with the Republic is pragmatic: both need each other against the Sith, but the Republic also keeps ties with the Hutts, who are quietly reviving slavery as debt peonage.

Militarily, the Solidarity fields smaller but far higher-quality forces than their rivals, avoiding clone or droid armies out of principle; they uphold a “joint dictatorship of the organic and synthetic proletariats.” They’ve just finished a war that quadrupled their territory and can’t sustain more fighting, so their focus is political: undermining and delegitimizing the Hutts while preparing their own Force traditions alongside the Jedi.

Here's a thing I made, a keyboard case for a Behringer Model D synth module. I designed the case in Tinkercad and built it with hand tools and some scrap boards and a salvaged drawer bottom and the guts of an old Alesis Q25 MIDI keyboard I found in a Goodwill. It works pretty good. I ended up eventualy selling it on Reverb for a wee profit but it was a fun DIY project.

This is great anon
>I ended up eventualy selling it on Reverb for a wee profit
The synth module too?

Discussion of the Hobbit, Lord of the Rings and the other works by J.R.R. Tolkien.

Sorry if it's offtopic but the reactionary obsession with lotr is fascinating to me.

Why Is The Right Obsessed With Lord of The Rings?
by The Bitchuation Room (with Francesca Fiorentini)
<Every fantasy franchise has an insufferable part of its fan base. But this one takes the cake. Powerful conservatives are obsessed with The Lord of The Rings. We know this because they name their military tech companies, surveillance companies and venture capital firms after objects in Middle Earth. Billionaire Peter Thiel has named 10 of his companies after things in Lord of The Ring, including Palantir, the Trump's regime's authoritarian surveillance company of choice. JD Vance has called himself a "Lord of the Rings guy," Elon Musk has hot anti-woke takes on The Rings of Power, and Jeff Bezos helped make that series by buying the rights to the franchise via Amazon. Even the far right even in Spain and Italy identify with the Lord of The Rings.

What do we think of this series pilot, Leftypol?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCAdbUaMlAE&vl=en

I find the other Glitch studio shows (and a lot of indie Youtube animation, for that matter) to be good aesthetically, but their writing kind of juvenile and cringe in that "edgy teenager" way. But I thought Guinevere was nuanced and interesting in both its art an central thesis, with a fresh take on the "Fuck Disney/corporations" cyberpunk message:

>Knights of Guinevere is a show with tenderness and deep empathy in its heart for creative professionals (Andi) in a world where the most prestigious job they can aspire to—and that will let them make a living—is to work for a monolithic company that will extract their talent and energy and burn them up in order to fulfill its highest and only goal of asserting total market dominance even harder.


>Knights of Guinevere understands what it’s like to have the output of that monolithic corporation nonetheless inspire a lifetime of dreams and escapism, especially those dreams as a relief and refuge from a hard life (Frankie). This show loves the artists whose work’s beauty and essential humanity survive the crushing, grinding gears of corporate sensibilities and infuse the projects they’re a part of, that make it out into the world to touch other human hearts. It loves the dreamers who see that beauty and humanity in that art and are touched by it, who see the magic as children and carry that feeling with them all their lives.


>It’s a show with love for people, and righteous, radiant anger towards the corporation that would burn out, drain, and sicken those people, and kill their world and fill it with garbage, all in service to itself.

Pretty good so far, another banger on Glitch's belt.

It was good and I can't wait for the whole thing to be released. But it just made me think, why can't Western animation do spacial consistency. Like it feels like the world does not really have distance and the characters just bend the rules of reality to get places. Most western animation has this kind of consistency / pacing issue. But yeah it was great.

>>46659
I hadn't the words for this until you said it, but I think you're right. With anime you sometimes get a lot more liminal / en-route scenes, like stuff is still happening but they aren't teleporting just to The Place Where The Next Thing Happens as often.

>>46659
>But it just made me think, why can't Western animation do spacial consistency. Like it feels like the world does not really have distance and the characters just bend the rules of reality to get places.
I've noticed that a lot, especially in GoT. Like in the 5th season one character makes a trip of thousands of miles in a sailing ship in a matter of days. Recently in alien earth similar disregard is shown for the time it takes to travel. The general tendency just seems to be "whatever the plot needs."

Imo it's part of a much larger writing problem that seems to be effecting media where little or no thought is paid to how things actually work or why. The only consideration seems to be how spectacular or melodramatic a particular scene might be in the moment.

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.

OP is right though. autistic or not.

The whole world is pretty much the same. People all do the same things, live in cities and drive cars to their boring regular jobs, everyone in the world eats Big Macs and watches Family Guy. The only escape you will ever find from this homogenous cultural wasteland is the sweet release of death. But feel free to piss away all of your savings on your cliche whitebread bourgeois journey for a feeling of catharsis that you will never find.

I've been to Switzerland too. It's not that good uygha damn.
>Every place I visited looked like a fucking bob ross painting.
We got mountains all over America too if that's your thing. Switzerland was my favorite country I've been to in Europe, but like have you ever been to the Grand Canyon? Utah? Sedona? Yosemite? Colorado? C'mon.
> The people were kind.
I didn't really talk to them but I got more weird vibes from them. Whole place has Disneyland kind of vibes. I'll take your word for it.
> The people were kind. The quality of everything I ate was better than anything I've eaten state side.
The food in Europe is better on average because they have regulations and sheeit, but that's a ridiculous statement.
>The airport had smoking sections.
Vegas airport has smoking lounges.

So I mostly saw, like Zermatt and Lake Geneva, but I didn't even go to Geneva the city. I briefly stopped in Zurich and that place gave me a headache. Their roads seem to be designed by lunatics.

I just finished watching the ᴉuᴉlossnW series - ᴉuᴉlossnW: Son of the Century. It was excellent and authentic. Sadly there are only 8 episodes to season I, eagerly awaiting season II.
What else should I watch? Give me recommendations NOW!

no. it is an epic just like 300 but with fascism instead of the greco-persian wars. it is fascist apologia disguising itself as liberal victimization - if there was ever a difference to begin with. the premise here is that being a fascist is heroic and cool

>>46155
I think you might be retarded, anon.

>>45976
it shows him taking money from porkies to betray socialism and invent fascism in episode 2, but i don't recall the british intelligence connection being shown

>>46155
it depicts ᴉuᴉlossnW as a brutal monster in the very first scene.

K-On!

The characters were good and the cinematography excellent, so overall it was a good film, but god, the plot went absolutely nowhere. There wasn't a climax and it was much less impactful than the other two. The film was a great first half… BUT I WENT IN EXPECTING A FINISHED EXPERIENCE! I can't believe they sequel baited with the fucking Telly Tubby Rangers! It should have been an hour longer and with a good climax, I would have been fine watching for an hour more because I was deeply immersed and enthralled by the film.

What did you think about it?

This is what the kids call ragebaiting

I thought this was a very long music video for a tracklist made by a hipster millenial, like the movie holds the audience in such contempt that the parts that were obviously meant to be quiet have blaring post punk or whatever sounding in the background in case you get distracted and feel tempted to look at your phone, and that detracts from what would otherwise be more poignant scenes. Yes I want my coming-of-age subtext movies where people walk from point A to point B to be more meditative instead of glorified tiktok fan edit shit going on while a child internalizes the meaning of death or whatever

Young Fathers did a based job with the soundtrack but there were parts in the first half where it felt much more like a music video than a film

Anybody else in the bunker enjoy cars and motorsport? Discuss anything motoring related here.

To start I'll say I've spent the last few days doing the brakes on my own car, including new calipers. Fucking hard work on an old POS, nothing comes apart easily.

After doing a bit of reading, it seems like the Supercharged Subaru Sambar is the Kei truck I want. They're the easiest to work on, it's the only one with a 4-cylinder engine, said engine is located behind the rear axle as opposed to under the seat and it has the most spacious cab. Unfortunately they're relatively scarce. I'd much rather just buy one from a localish dealership with of all the bureaucracy already dealt with but I'm starting to think I'm going to need to deal with an importer, do a bunch of paperwork to get it road legal and possibly even drive it home 1600km from the port in Halifax. This would end up being cheaper than buying it ready-to-go but the amount of work involved is daunting. Needless to say I'm having second thoughts and am starting to look at late 80s/early 90s trucks in general since this was the last time auto makers made reasonably sized vehicles

You should learn how to drive manual. There's really nothing to it and it's a good skill to have.

Such a shame that Skoda became glorified Volkswagens and Tatra ceased production on passenger vehicles. Czechoslovakia's auto industry had so much potential.
