• Iran and Israel exchange strikes: Iran fired hundreds of ballistic missiles toward Israel, according to state media, in response to Israel’s unprecedented strikes. Each side has reported incoming fire in the hours since, with sirens sounding across Israel and Iran activating its own missile defenses early Saturday.
• Major blows to Iran: Israel targeted Iran’s nuclear program and military leaders with its first wave of strikes, which killed at least 78 people, according to Tehran. High-ranking figures, including the commander-in-chief of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, and nuclear scientists are among the dead.
• What Netanyahu says: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who an Israeli official says is monitoring the strikes from a bunker, has vowed “more is on the way.” He previously said Israel’s operation against Iran could take several days.
• Trump’s warning: President Donald Trump told CNN that the US “of course” supports Israel in its actions. Trump warned Iran to agree to a nuclear deal “before there is nothing left.”

>Paul Pawlowski (born 1926/1927) was a Polish-born immigrant, Hellenic polytheist and English republican who, from the late 1970s until his resignation in 1996, served as the leader and only member of the Republican Party of England and the English People’s Liberation Army (EPLA).
What was the EPLA?
<The EPLA originated as a split from the Maoist Working People's Party of England. The Army's ideology called for the independence of England from "Judeo-fascist" forces.
<According to the "Dictionary of Terrorism", it was "extremely weak" but had "undertaken isolated bomb attacks". In 1983, it claimed responsibility for a parcel bomb sent to the headquarters of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.
<Barberis et al claim that the organisation may have had links to the Oliver Cromwell Republican Party, founded in 1977. This minor organisation, also led by Paul Pawlowski, later renamed the Republican Party of England, is best known for its leader's demonstration against the wedding of Charles and Diana in 1981
The revolutionary career of Pawlowski, in his own words:
"In 1960s I read the Iliad in HMP Brixton.
Why! Thats polytheism – thats my religion i decided.
in 1970s I opened Temple of Aphrodite Pandemos in my one room in Tooting. Landlord told me to get out – evicted.
I moved to empty house in Charington Road squat.
There was Banner books shop nearby in Camden High street.
The shopwindow was Red with little red books bust of chairman Mao in the middle. Indian man Bijour was the shopkeeper.
I am having lunch in Cypriot restaurant with my lady when Bijour comes in sits with us at our table and we talk. Bijour says What Britain needs is British peoples liberation army.
I took on his idea and improved it
What Britain needs is English republican ideology – Republican party of England – English peoples liberation army.
The monarch abdicate – Republican England is born.
I bought a house in Accrington – turned it into HQ of English Peoples Liberation Army. Got raided by Special Branch.
What is the strength of the English Peoples Liberation Army? the SB officer asked. Military secret I replied. I think you are regimental Number One he said.
I drafted a petition for the Queen to abdicate let England be Republic. Went with it to meeting in Birmingham. It was leftwingers rally – about 200 signed my petition for the Queen to abdicate.
Encouraged by the response I convened a meeting at the Rising Sun pub near Victoria coach station. Five comrades came – we drunk pint and talked English Republic.
Encouraged - I drafted English Republican leaflet – published by Paul Pawlowski, Secretary, Republican Party of England.
The feedback was abusive – To saltmines in Siberia with you you foreigner!
They didn't like the name …ski. Printed another leaflet – same text only this time published by Thomas Smith, Secretary of Republican Party of England. Now the feedback was normal – some agreed – some asking for more info – some supported some against – normal.
Went with it to Camden Town Hall where the Daily Worker had a fete. The police at the entrance took notice of the name Thomas Smith – the police was on the lookout for that Thomas Smith – got raided by Special Branch officers
I continued with placard and leaflet calling for England to be Republic. Got arrested for it in the street in Accrington – the magistrate said Three months. With Clenched Fist salute I cried out Victory to the English Peoples Liberation Army!
Local newspaper carried report about it.
In HMP Strangeways prison officers were asking me "Tell us where is the English Peoples Liberation Army and we all go there and join it."
HMP prison officers were the first recruits to EPLA.
HMP Strangeways was burned down – it was burning for many days."

From green natpops to sicko mode Savinkov we've got a lot of exciting stuff coming in the next Kaiserreich update, one which will make the LKMT look like pre-rework Germany by comparison. But dont worry TNOomers, you're getting some new content too! After a year and a half and three focus trees that only last for four years, we finally have something new and that's…

You know the drill folks, gather here to discuss and/or complain about Hearts of Iron 4 and all the alt history mods that make the game relevant. From green natpops to sicko mode Savinkov we've got a lot of exciting stuff coming in the next Kaiserreich update, one which will make the LKMT look like pre-rework Germany by comparison. But dont worry TNOomers, you're getting some new content too! After a year and a half and three focus trees that only last for four years, we finally have something new and that's…
…three years of fucking Antarctica

My best guess is highly optimistic. Without Marx, there would have been no prominent intellectual promoter of violent revolution for socialist dictatorship. There would still have been a big socialist movement, including many socialists dreaming of bloodbaths and tyranny. But the movement as a whole would have rapidly evolved into something like social democracy. Third World dictators would still have killed in the name of socialism. But there would have been no Soviet Union without Marx. And without the Soviet Union, there would be no fascist Italy and no Nazi Germany. A socialist dictatorship could still have come to China. But without the ghoulish example of Soviet agriculture, even a socialist China would have avoided major peacetime famine.
It’s clearly possible that an alternate, equally influential theoretician of violent revolution for socialist dictatorship would have arisen. But this seems unlikely. When historians of science try to weigh a scientist’s influence, they search for runner-ups – rival scientists waiting in the wings to make the same discovery. Challenge: If Marx had never lived, who exactly would have replaced him? In Germany, Marx’s top rival was Ferdinand Lassalle, a figure far more in tune with modern social democracy than Marx. On the global socialist scene, it’s hard to name any figure that compares with Marx. Who’s even in the running?
There’s really only one fact that tempers my optimism: The world with Marx has never had a nuclear war. Altering any major facet of history could plausibly reverse that happy outcome.

The World Without Marx
Suppose Karl Marx had never been born. How would the modern world be different?My best guess is highly optimistic.

Is this really it? Some policemen announced that they won’t be going to work tomorrow and that they have no intention of beating up children. This might be the only chance that the opposition gets to forcefully remove the president from office.
The implications are obvious; a color revolution is in the works. Unlike the protests in Greece, the Serbian protests have no class character. The left is very weak, and the protest attendees range from neonazis to liberals and communists (most likely due to the fact the protests have been organized “apolitically”). The situation in Serbia is very volatile, and the validity of these protests need to be questioned more seriously, since no matter how much they deny it, this reeks of liberal infighting. Only time will tell what the consequences of these past few months will be, and whether this will be another October 5th or just a failed mass movement.
March 15th, Belgrade Serbia
Tomorrow a huge protest will be held in the capital of Serbia, Belgrade, protesting the government’s refusal to accept the demands made by the students, as well as protesting against general incompetence and corruption. From the student to the teacher, worker and pensioner, war veterans and children all around Serbia will gather together in this protest.Is this really it?

let’s also say, hypothetically, that he was concerned primarily with seeking out early “revolutionary” movements and lending a hand in any way he could.
this “hypothetical” character is american, white, and armed. he is aware of these privileges and is willing to weaponize them against the System in order to further the Cause. he is willing to travel anywhere in the country and shack up with any worthy individual he might come across.
he is not a child. he’s in his late twenties. he is from one of the poorest areas in the country. he is angry. he wants to change things. he does not want a career, or a family. he wants to fight for something. he is definitely a little nuts. par for the course with this sort of thing.

“hypothetically”

While we agree that LGBTQ people should be free to live their lives under socialism, unfortunately this hasn't been the case for all socialist govs.
Past reactionary behaviours/ policies have also emerged in certain so-called Socialist orgs like the ACP who use the USSRs past homophobia to justify their bigotry.
As a result, I think it's important that we assemble resources to ensure that future/ existing parties, platforms and orgs don't repeat the same mistakes.
Any recs?
Quotes and examples of pro-LGBTQ policies in Socialist Govs are also welcome.

I can see that some independent farmer, artisan, industrial cooperative or family company (operated by an actual family) escapes this structure. In all the common isms you have at least two classes of people, one exploits, one is being exploited.
technological changes do not change this structure. The use or not of money does not change this structure. The possibility of individual persons changing their social position (i.e slaves gaining freedom or rich people losing their money) doesnt change the structure.
Anyone explain to me whats the difference

We need to fight back in optics so that we stand together.
The media is really focusing on Latin American flags, and desperately are trying to cut off as many American flags from TV broadcast.
Remember this month is Pride! And we must stand for the rights of all people/sibblings from all backgrounds.
Maybe don't bring political affiliation flags like anarchist flags or communism flags. But that can be discussed

Privacy general
Comrades, we need a thread on privacy. Any decent activist should try ways of staying anonymous on the web and prevent being tracked by governments and corporations.General tips===* Use free software as much as you can.* Use GNU/Linux and keep it up-to-date, to be sure that you don't have unpatched security exploits* Don't use Flash Player, use youtube-dl instead for watching streaming videos online* Do not use Google, use DuckDuckGo or StartPage instead* Use a password manager like Keepass or for GNU/Linux users keepassx. Create new passwords for every site that you visit and use a strong password as a master password. A tip for easy remembering of your master password is to use a sentence. "i fucking love cookies and tits!" with extra capital characters etc. is easier to remember than some random characters and long enough to prevent brute force attacks of any kind.* Use the Tor Browser Bundle if you really want to stay anonymous.Firefox====* Go to Preferences -> History and set History to "Never remember history". * See for additional tweaks: https://github.com/amq/firefox-debloat and https://vikingvpn.com/cybersecurity-wiki/browser-security/guide-hardening-mozilla-firefox-for-privacy-and-securityAdd-ons-----------* Use uBlock Origin for preventing tracking etc. Bonus: use hard-mode to manually whitelist external domains on sites. Don't use uBlock but be sure to use uBlock Origin https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-hard-mode* HTTPS Everywhere* DecentralEyes: prevents CDN hosting from tracking you (Google for Jquery etc.)* Self Destructing Cookies: only allow cookies that you choose to allowOS==* Encrypt your hard drive or home partition at least* If you use GNU/Linux, you can try to restrict systemd or syslog from logging. * Use a distribution which takes security seriously. Also, be sure that you don't install a lot of things outside the repository. It will cover most of your needs.Real life tips===* Pay with cash if you canFeel free to provide tips to each other comrades!

The bourgeois family–the family as it exists today–is creepy as fuck. Every parent I've known develops some bizarre predilection with their child's sexuality, which stems from a sense of ownership over the child. You don't "own" your child. You're mandated by state to raise them.
The fact so many people view children as a burden is exactly why we need to annihilate the bourgeois family. And folks with kids don't feel any different, and they treat their kids accordingly. Raise kids in state-run boarding schools. Let people who like kids raise them.

>Urgent Appeal: Stop the Judicial Coup in South Korea and Defend Democracy
<On May 1, 2025, South Korea’s Supreme Court issued a politically charged decision that overturned the acquittal of opposition leader Lee Jae-myung, the leading candidate in the upcoming presidential election, on charges of election law violation. Lee had endured intense repression under the administration of impeached former president Yoon Suk-yeol, having been subjected to investigation by over 200 government prosecutors, but despite countless allegations, these nearly non-stop investigations failed to result in a conviction. Now, with South Korea gearing up for a historic snap election on June 3, 2025 following Yoon’s ouster, authorities are once again attempting to convict Lee to remove him from the political playing field.

This might not sound that impressive, but i've just managed to get program-agnostic rio-style window creation working flawlessly in FVWM. Previously it was a flickery, unreliable mess of xdotool commands, but now it's spawning every window iconified, hooking into the window creation event to set geometry from my rectangle selection program and deiconifying it to its correct position.
If you could keep track of all terminals and from which one a particular program is spawned, you might be able to reach true rio emulation closer than even the plan9port version.

• Iran and Israel exchange strikes: Iran fired hundreds of ballistic missiles toward Israel, according to state media, in response to Israel’s unprecedented strikes. Each side has reported incoming fire in the hours since, with sirens sounding across Israel and Iran activating its own missile defenses early Saturday.
• Major blows to Iran: Israel targeted Iran’s nuclear program and military leaders with its first wave of strikes, which killed at least 78 people, according to Tehran. High-ranking figures, including the commander-in-chief of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, and nuclear scientists are among the dead.
• What Netanyahu says: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who an Israeli official says is monitoring the strikes from a bunker, has vowed “more is on the way.” He previously said Israel’s operation against Iran could take several days.
• Trump’s warning: President Donald Trump told CNN that the US “of course” supports Israel in its actions. Trump warned Iran to agree to a nuclear deal “before there is nothing left.”

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

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.

First, what do you want me to do? I see Third-Worldists yell at people from the First World all the time, but there never seems to be any direction as to what we could be doing to make things better. Is the assumption just that we're intrinsically evil? Because if it is, it makes the presence of Western Third-Worldists confusing, and also makes me question why you interact with First-Worlders at all. If it isn't the assumption, then please explain what you think I should be doing, because up to this point I've only ever seen Third-Worldists telling me that I'm evil.
Second, if you got your way, what would happen to the First World, and by extension me? I've heard answers ranging from
>We're going to cut off the West and let them decay
to
>We're going to come together and collectively colonize the First World, shuffling its residents across the Third World
and while I think they both make sense on some level, neither of them seems like much of a well defined plan to me, and people speak of them like they're rhetoric, rather than things they actually plan to do.
These are, as I said, earnest questions, so any earnest answers would be appreciated.

“Moments ago, with the launch of hundreds of various ballistic missiles toward the occupied territories, the operation of decisive response to the savage attack of the Zionist regime has begun," Iran’s official news agency, Irna, reported. Bright orange flashes illuminated the sky over Tel Aviv as Israeli air defence systems appeared to down some of the incoming missiles. Still, fires and plumes of smoke could be seen in areas of Tel Aviv, whilst explosions were also reported in Jerusalem.

Hezbollah backs away from conflict with Israel after Lebanese government warning
The sources said that Hezbollah had told Lebanese army officials that it understood the concerns of the state, the army, and the Lebanese people and would not “be led towards Israel’s aim of taking the region to full-scale war”. They added that Lebanese political and military officials had also “clearly and strongly” told Hezbollah that the “Lebanese state would not allow a war with Israel this time”, adding that Lebanon had given assurances to Arab and other regional countries regarding this.

US-backed Israeli company’s spyware used to target European journalists, Citizen Lab finds

Corbyn and McDonnell face no further action over January 18 Palestine demo
JEREMY CORBYN and John McDonnell hailed a “victory for the right to demonstrate against genocide” today after police and prosecutors said that no further action will be taken over their participation in the January 18 Palestine rally. … In a joint statement, the now independent MPs said: “Our peaceful demonstrations are made up of people of all backgrounds and faiths, united in a demand to end human suffering. “It is only right that the charges against our fellow protesters Chris Nineham and Ben Jamal are now dropped.

China-backed militia secures control of new rare earth mines in Myanmar
Now, in the hillsides of Shan state in eastern Myanmar, Chinese miners are opening new deposits for extraction, according to two of the sources, both of whom work at one of the mines. At least 100 people are working day-to-night shifts excavating hillsides and extracting minerals using chemicals, the sources said. Two other residents of the area said they had witnessed trucks carrying material from the mines, between the towns of Mong Hsat and Mong Yun, toward the Chinese border some 200km away. Reuters identified some of the sites using imagery from commercial satellite providers Planet Labs and Maxar Technologies.

Iran fires hundreds of missiles at Israel as part of 'crushing response' to attacks“Moments ago, with the launch of hundreds of various ballistic missiles toward the occupied territories, the operation of decisive response to the savage attack of the Zionist regime has begun," Iran’s official news agency, Irna, reported. Bright orange flashes illuminated the sky over Tel Aviv as Israeli air defence systems appeared to down some of the incoming missiles. Still, fires and plumes of smoke could be seen in areas of Tel Aviv, whilst explosions were also reported in Jerusalem.

Hezbollah backs away from conflict with Israel after Lebanese government warning
The sources said that Hezbollah had told Lebanese army officials that it understood the concerns of the state, the army, and the Lebanese people and would not “be led towards Israel’s aim of taking the region to full-scale war”. They added that Lebanese political and military officials had also “clearly and strongly” told Hezbollah that the “Lebanese state would not allow a war with Israel this time”, adding that Lebanon had given assurances to Arab and other regional countries regarding this.

I understand that Palestinians have legitimate grievances like land expropriation and a weird internal passport system. These things should stop, along with many other injustices and blatant abuses of state power.
We should, at the same time, acknowledge that Hamas and the IDF are both guilty of atrocities. The IDF often resorts to indiscriminate bombings when they are not warranted. Hamas often compounds casualties by hiding in schools and hospitals, knowing this will be an optics loss for Israel.
This is a complex subject, but for some fucking reason we can no longer have an intelligent discussion about it.

I'm going to post a lot of my own that I have gathered over the years.
I ask that random chit-chat in this thread is kept to a minimum except regarding technical questions & answers on the topic matter.
This is so that resources are kept as compact as possible, and so, readable.
First I'll dump resources and tips for researching various topics.
Note: I don't even have access to or use some of these myself (e.g. LexisNexis which seems to be pay-to-use), but I figure they could be helpful in some narrow cases. I use most of these myself. If the initial things I post don't interest you, keep reading anyway. I'm going to be dumping a lot of content.

Simply put, I replaced most of the legion’s weapons with the 12.7mm submachine gun. For those unaware, this gun is one of the strongest guns in game, and it is used canonically by the Legion’s assault divisions. By having most legion soldiers use this gun, the legion stands a better chance against most factions, and fighting the legion feels much more fierce than a point and click experience against tribesmen with literal spears.
So why did I buff the legion? Well, I am trying to fix the gunplay, and I feel like I found the solution. My approach is to make guns stronger and more widely used. I believe that if most characters use guns, New Vegas’ gameplay should feel much more exciting. From the play tests I have, this idea holds up. Having more enemies use guns makes the game play more like a shooter. Coincidentally, the increased firepower also makes the game feel more representative of the lore.
Putting in a little firepower into New Vegas

• Iran begins counterstrikes: Iran has fired hundreds of ballistic missiles toward Israel, according to state media. The Israeli military said it identified incoming missiles launched from Iran, and CNN has heard explosions in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
• Israel’s attack on Iran: Israel earlier launched unprecedented strikes on Iran, targeting its nuclear program and military leaders. The attacks have continued on multiple cities across the nation. Iran’s foreign minister said that Israel will “deeply regret” its attack.
• Trump warns Iran: President Donald Trump told CNN that the US “of course” supports Israel in its actions. Trump warned Iran earlier today to agree to a nuclear deal “before there is nothing left.” It’s unclear if scheduled nuclear talks between the US and Iran will go ahead this weekend.
• Military leaders killed: Gen. Hossein Salami, the commander-in-chief of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard and one of the country’s most powerful figures, was killed in the attack. Maj. Gen. Mohammad Bagheri, Iran’s highest-ranking military officer, was also killed.

I’m at my last end with these people. Imagine taking part in militant mass protests only to insist the solution is to vote Democrat and throw emotional blackmail on anyone who doesn’t. Just like how liberals showed up to the George Floyd uprising five years ago with voter registration forms, liberals are already showing up at the LA uprising protests to convince people to vote for Democrats in the midterm elections last year. How much longer before libs start showing up with Ukrainian flags and attempt to make the protests about keeping the US in NATO or whatever? They’re also already blaming “white anarchists” for the more militant actions despite footage showing the vast majority of people defending themselves from the pigs are Mexicans and Central Americans themselves.
Do liberals honestly believe this brutality wouldn’t have happened under Harris? Biden and Harris sent goons to brutalize anti-genocide protesters all last year. I fucking hate this.
Anyone else feel the same?

>But what if didn't?
Cops and police departments are giant gangs, this is known. Is the solution bringing back one town sheriff the people elect? We're going to be stuck with this system of policing, if not experience a worsening, if the left doesn't buck up and become cops to sabotage from within or start making calls for the return of sheriffs. Yankees love returns to tradition, and having them bring back something we had 100 years ago might be the only way to address this problem head on.

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?

Attention Burgeranons
We need anti-war protests today. The ability of the regime to prosecute imperialist war depends on the willingness of the public to go along with it. We need mass resistance to make the continuation of the war against Iran extremely difficult for the regime. Their needs to be protests today in order to put strong political pressure.

Reminder that the setting Iraqi cabinet is backed by the Axis of Resistance (alongside the US) and it allowed the Israeli strikes against Iranian workers to be launched from its airspace. Average Islamist fail.

People flagrantly break the rules and then ban-evade without even trying to hide what they're doing, going so far as to continue posting with the exact same static name, and their original IP ban doesn't even get a single minute of increased ban length from all I've seen so far.
So everyone else not only has to follow the rules, but they also get to watch as the people who break them on a repeat basis simply mock them for reporting them. The number of people who use it in good faith could be counted on one hand. Not reporting is bourgeois is put on the very top of the screen on every fucking thread but
WHAT THE FUCK IS THE POINT OF REPORTING PEOPLE IF THEY CAN JUST CASUALLY EVADE ANY PUNISHMENT WHATSOEVER?
Supposedly there's supposed to be a feature that helps prevent abuse of TOR in the future, but as it is it's a BROKEN FUCKING FEATURE that has only annoyed everyone who doesn't use it. FINISH your fucking project before you IMPLEMENT IT!

If this pattern isn't isolated to a single org but seems to infect the whole field of them, DSA, CPUSA, PSL, and so forth, then it's indicative of a structural problem. These structural problems of systemic uselessness seem to be pervasive well beyond just the United States. What's going on here? How do we fix the formula?
Genuinely, would we have better results in these kinds of conditions if our orgs were fully underground to begin with? I suspect that one advantage the anarchists have is the lack of a publically visible, legally sanctioned, easy to target organizational structure. Every fed knows the leadership of the PSL, or the DSA, and anyone who's ever paid dues, so there's a very strong incentive to stay safely within legal boundaries. Infiltration and cooption is painfully easy. On the other hand, the anarchist model is also obviously a failure, given that they simply function along lines of pure spontaneity without much coherent organization to begin with.
How dig ourselves out of this common trap, and the resulting malaise?
Why Are They All Tailist Opportunists?
Every experience I've ever had with a major American org, be it PSL, DSA, SALT, CPUSA has left a profoundly disappointing impression. They uniformly have no militancy, no coherent program for building power, and no pattern of success. Often, their strategy invariably finds itself expresses in mindlessly tailing the activist cause du jour, recruiting from liberal protests, then creating their own nonviolent liberal protests and book clubs to fundraise off of ad infinitum. Usually their electoral strategy involves endorsing the Democrats or trying to launch a presidential run for some figure with no national profile who receives 0.015% of the vote. At best they'll make a mild contribution to local tenant organizing on a micro scale. At worst, they're fed-filled cults run by sex pests. Anarchists, who lack the political organizing capabilities to accomplish anything of note, usually somehow lap these orgs in actual militant activity. At least they're capable of creating some minor property damage.If this pattern isn't isolated to a single org but seems to infect the whole field of them, DSA, CPUSA, PSL, and so forth, then it's indicative of a structural problem.

out of the tip of my tongue Devil May Cry which was supposed to be a Resident Evil game with a particular horror focus; ended up being known for being the SSStylish action game and i mean maybe it was because i played it as a 5 year old but back then i was scared shitless of traversing through the game
there's a lot of Resident Evil remains that are even scarier
makes me wish they had kept a lot of them and commited just slightly more to the horror bit, even in future games where they perfected the action formula
then there's the psychological horror which i think in turn you can get something like affective horror which is present across nearly every Devil May Cry game, the generational trauma in Vergil, Dante's constant joking becomes a coping mechanism
then there's Half-Life 2 which i mean it's a very special case when the 2nd entry was even scarier than the 1st one even though the 1st one is more set up as a horror game?
impressively enough a lot of this is done through the eerie ambience, when you're alone personally while Ravenholm and Nova Prospekt are kinda spooky, my defacto to Half-Life 2 scaries is usually Canals, when you're all alone with a boat in the evening and the sun is starting to set, you can find remains of hideouts and remains of people's lives, and yeah the game is full of these places, where you're hoping to find someone and there's just you and random props
Now then there's Majora's Mask which is a particularly interesting game, the game is cheery most of the time, but it's also eerie and creepy at others, even after playing it before there's times where you can feel uneasy despite knowing what's next, there's obviously the countdown and the feeling of unpending doom, the pressure, but also something about the ambient that feels so cozy yet so creepy at times. like feeling comfortable but knowing there's something lurking around, even if it's just the time.
…
Asking because i was making a game based on Fear & Hunger but just like Devil May Cry we ended up focusing more in the action department but i still really wanna bank on the horror theme even if it's not the focus anymore.
might post pics on another thread later, the game is very barebones right now but we're almost done the 1st roadmap of development and we might start working on the 1st level and the models soon-er
i'm just waiting for a book my bf bought for me that has old workflows for 3D modelling used in PS2 games which is the look we're kinda going for but not just in looks, but also performance-wise and quality.

The statement also urged the prime minister to stop the militarization of the region and respect the rights enshrined in the Fifth Schedule of the Indian constitution for the Adivasis (Indigenous peoples of India). The statement alleges that the rights of the Adivasis “are being systematically violated and forests and minerals of Chhattisgarh are being subjected to indiscriminate corporate exploitation with disastrous implications for environmental stability and livelihood of the local people.” Various other organizations and individuals have issued similar statements demanding the immediate cessation of all hostilities against the Indigenous peoples of the region, along with its demilitarization.

In Armenia, rising ceasefire violations bring fears of war with Azerbaijan
Armenia's southernmost province of Syunik is at the heart of the dispute and is where most ceasefire violations are reported. Syunik separates the main body of Azerbaijan to the east from the Azerbaijani exclave of Nakhchivan to the west. It also provides a vital trade route for Armenia to Iran, which it borders to the south. Azerbaijan has since 2020 demanded Armenia provide it with a corridor through Syunik to Nakhchivan. Baku has said that the passage would remain Armenian territory but have minimal controls from the capital Yerevan.

Police fire tear gas on crowds protesting Kenya blogger’s death in custody
Protesters took to the streets of Kenya’s capital Nairobi to express their fury over the death of a blogger arrested by police last week, as the country’s police watchdog reported that 20 people had died in custody over the last four months. Police used tear gas to disperse crowds gathered close to the capital’s parliamentary building on Thursday to protest against the death of Albert Ojwang, a 31-year-old blogger arrested in the western town of Homa Bay last week for criticising the country’s deputy police chief Eliud Lagat.
