@davidsirota There should be public funding for independent journalism. Millions of dollars in grants and low interest business loans and educational resources to help people tell the stories impacting their communities. New deal era style support to document the world around us.
@CHAPOTRAPHOUSE Amber back on the show is like When Matthew Macfayden’s character comes back at the last episode of MI-5. I mean this in a good way. Dry boys will return.
Reslistening to hell of presidents and it’s so amazing to hear @cushbomb and @saywhatagain find their voice. Last two episodes feel like hell on earth in the best ways. I teared up a little on Chris’s “Matt is the brain and I am the arms and legs” —you will find your voice again!
@dbessner Did something happen to the office to make it change its perception of itself and its constraints? Like an internal power struggle that may have boiled over? Like some kind of disciplinary lesson to remind holders of that office what their limits are?
@tarkovtips From your comment, it’s striking how Tarkov appeals to many different kinds of gamers. Although much of the ire is directed toward BSG, much of it really boils down to problems that emerge from having created a space that attracts different ways of engagement. Thanks for sharing!
@tarkovtips I think you make some keen observations here. From company development perspective, there’s an ongoing process of figuring out how to effectively map and manage a live service game.
@tarkovtips I understand what you want to poll. It’s just a hard thing to get at. Prob would need a likert scale and a few questions to establish baseline.
@Gabrus Nice!
For low fantasy XCOM, check Wartales. Amazing game.
King Arthur: Knights Tale was also good.
Jagged Alliance 3 is like if XCOM were a Canon action film
Also check out Dark and Darker. It’s like first person Diablo 1. PvPvE is the new hotness in multiplayer.
@Jesse_Brenneman All due respect, but the leftist position of M4A is a solution for Covid. I’m not sure how to define the left, but I think your critique is better directed toward mainstream political parties, both of which routinely punch left as a means of activating their centrist base.
@dbessner The “legitimating meta narratives” that Lyotard explored in his essay/book on postmodernism was essentially to explain this point. I think the question your tweet reveals is why people have such a different view of Pomo today. What happened?
Was that moment. @lindayacc, good luck and all that. I’m skeptical that a private company can ever truly serve public interests. The early modern history of enclosure kind of proved that logic out. But if Twitter feels like it did a few years ago, perhaps I’ll come back.
I was a prolific reader of tweets, a lurker more than a tweeter. And so I send this message out into the void.
@Twitter just doesn’t feel fun or good or interesting any more. Each person has their own moment when enough is enough and for me the news that Twitter was becoming X
