Jacobin is really inconsistent and people seem to think it is more radical than it is purely because of aesthetics. Current Affairs is much better unless you have a very low tolerance for verbosity.

I don't know if there's a specific trope name for when a group of people in media are 'coded' as Native Americans, I first noticed this in the depiction of the Great Khans in FNV, particularly in the character of Papa Khan and his manner of speaking, Another instance is in a DLC for the game Total War, where you play as the Nanman people who are portrayed as Native American-esque and I recall seeing a clip on YouTube (which I am currently unable to find) that depicted the Montagnard not only as Native Americans-likg but also featured Native American actors portraying them

Kind of off topic, but Total War trailers are so fucking bad and generic now.

I actually liked the Pharaoh one

>>44991
But it's not for some made-up fantasy race, these were real people given similar 'motifs' as the traditional Western depiction of Native Americans.

You really only need to shower like once every two or three days anyway. It's well documented. Only exception is if you have been sweating or live in a humid climate.

Chess has been banned in Afghanistan indefinitely due to religious concerns, with the Ministry of Promotion of Virtue involved.

The interim administration of Afghanistan has officially banned chess, continuing its opposition to various forms of entertainment and sports in the country. According to the reports, the decision was made due to “religious considerations” and restrictions outlined by the Ministry of Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice. This move places chess-related activities in Afghanistan on hold indefinitely.

Officials from the Ministry of Sports, confirmed the suspension of chess activities on Sunday, May 11, explaining that until suitable answers are found regarding religious concerns, the sport would remain prohibited. According to the reports, no activities related to chess would be allowed to resume without resolving these issues.

The Ministry of Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice has taken further steps by dissolving the Afghanistan Chess Federation, labeling the game “haram” (forbidden) according to its interpretation of Islamic law. This decision follows a growing trend of restrictions on cultural, social, and sporting events since the Taliban regained control of Afghanistan.

In the days leading up to the announcement, several chess players and enthusiasts reportedly sought permission and financial support from the Ministry of Sports to continue their activities. However, they were met with the news of the ban, further complicating their efforts to engage in the game.

Chess, once a popular intellectual sport in Afghanistan, had enjoyed a resurgence in recent years, with the national federation operating under the Ministry of Sports. The Taliban’s recent stance reflects their broader strategy to limit cultural and recreational pursuits in the country, citing Islamic legal interpretations.

The ban on chess is another example of the Taliban’s increasing restrictions on freedoms in Afghanistan. These limitations extend beyond sports to include cultural and educational activities, profoundly impacting Afghanistan society. It remains uncertain how long these policies will last or whether international pressure could reverse some of these decisions.

That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.

>>45962
If you go back and read my replies to you carefully I never said the ban on chess didn't happen, I just questioned the potential motivations and relations of the source article in the OP.

Let's say everything you say is true and important… what would you like done about it, when would you like it done, how would you like it done, and by who would you like it done? If you cannot answer this question you have nothing important to say.

I know Listverse isn't a high-quality site for news or information but it has some interesting posts, especially when you're 'aware'. Like most liberal burger rags it has a heavy anti-communist scaremongering angle in any content relative to the USSR, but an angle I don't see leftypol talk about as much is that also like most liberal burger rags, they try to avoid any mention of Russian or Soviet people in lists such as those of "real heroes" and whatever. Relative to this thread is
https://listverse.com/2018/08/31/10-lesser-known-wartime-nurses-who-displayed-amazing-heroism/
NOT ONE SINGLE NURSE mentioned is Russian, let alone Soviet. While I certainly wouldn't want to take away from the heroism of the others on that list, I find it peculiar as fuck given that unlike most countries Russia was among the earlier to have field nurses, starting at the very least from the Crimean War.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7738882/
Soviet War Nurses were an intrinsic part of the Red Army and many were Heroes of the Soviet Union for their valor of saving troops under fire, such as Mariya Borovichenko (pic is not her).

Anyone got recommendations for a left-wing TTRPG that's not whimsical gay coffeeshop shenanigans?

Start a discord?

Lancer RPG is a mecha TTRPG that was created by leftists. It takes place in the far future where people overthrew their authoritarian intergalactic government of Union, the Second Committee. Now the Union and Third Committee upholds utopian post scarcity pillars but this has not been spread to the rest of human space and Corporate states exist under Union and Union is scared to be a little too proactive in galactic liberation in order to not replicate the horrors and tyranny of Second Committee.

Theres way more to it than that but its a great game for mech based combat and the Galaxy is so big your party can be Union soldiers liberating slaves on a backwards planet. Or people who live in the shadow of Union on a planet or space that doesn't get it much attention.

I think these days Matrix is good enough. in my experience leftypolers and imageboarders in general tend to be paranoid about their messaging apps
We even have an official leftypol Matrix channel we can advertize to later lol

i'll have a bunch of free time sometime later this month and I'll use it to try and set up a game



 

This show has everything. It's very luigipilled and burgerpunk. It has the zeitgeist. Very nice. Did enjoy. Would recommend. It's like Breaking Bad and Fear and Loathing meets Akira and Paprika.

To be fair, Scavenger’s Reign doesn’t try to be political at all

>i liked scavengers reign more.
Never heard of it. I'll have to check that out, but holy shit did they rip off Moebius's artstyle. This a little too far.

>>45819
exactly. dont do politics if your gonna half ass it with vague 'oh this sucks' without even hinting at a practical non-idealist solution

>>45818
That's like saying you don't use an apples to grow apple trees, you use apples seeds, while apples are perfectly fine for apple tree planting.

I really enjoyed it. Just like Breaking Bad, though, my opinion is that all shows should be this level of smart, this shouldn't be the unique diamond it inevitably will become. I also don't think it needs a season 2. It's going to stuffer from the same writing issues every season 2 show has when it wraps up everything so neatly. It'll focus too much on interpersonal drama to delay and buffer episodes because they don't have a real plot anymore. It'll also pull a midichlorians bullshit when it inevitably explains too much lore about the alternate dimension powered by mother earth or whatever they decide it will be.


Yes, the writing was good, the politics were on point, the art style grew on me, and the animation was great when it wanted to be (just look at the way the turtle blinks!)

Are there textbooks for fiction writing? I've only ever read Stephen King's writing book which was mid and he's a hack anyway. Though I wish I had just a smidge of his ability to crank shit out.

Here’s the copypasta from the /lit/ writing general thread:

/wg/ AUTHORS & FLASH FICTION: https://pastebin.com/ruwQj7xQ
RESOURCES & RECOMMENDATIONS: https://pastebin.com/nFxdiQvC

= WHEN POSTING FOR CRITIQUE =
- State whether you want feedback on prose, dialogue, pacing, general impressions, or if anything at all is fine.
- Give context. Short story, essay, chapter from a novel? Is it genre fiction? Standards and expectations vary based on what you're writing.
- If it's a first draft, say so. Most anons aren't willing to critique low effort writing samples, so edit and proofread.
- Images are more frequently engaged with than links, but do as you please. Pastebin often rejects content and doesn't allow italics, so rentry.co is the suggested alternative.
You're asking for a stranger's time and effort. Put some of your own in.

= BEGINNER RESOURCES =
These address mistakes often seen in excerpts posted here. If you are a beginner, please read them before submitting.

Thanks friend. I will try and check out those books. I had forgotten I've been meaning to read the Le Guin one for a while.

Well some friends read a section of my novel and they don't think I should throw it in the trash so I guess I have to keep working on it.
