    - I have a great respect for Paradox games, and they sound awesome. The problem is that I currently don't have many occasions where I have both brains and time to throw at things like Into the Breach, where the levels are pretty short. Something like, say, Stellaris could *devour my life.* It'd be awesome, but yikes. [NT] - Lothos 01:18:11 12018-10-22
      - Considering I have 600+ hours in it...it could conceivably do that. Nonetheless, I regret nothing. - Tssha 00:20:48 12018-10-23
      - I want to play Stellaris so badly, but their DLC policy is just beyond reason and I refuse to encourage it. Two years old and to buy the game plus expansions is 122.49 CAD, 2/3rds of which is minor story content and trivial gameplay additions split into DLC after DLC.

        I find this an interesting perspective because the DLC policy is one of the things I like the most about Paradox. They actively develop their games for years and years, with constant free updates including enormous system redesigns, funded by the content DLC. - Fron 01:48:35 12018-10-22
        I'm not really averse to DLC per se. Even games I buy at launch to support the devs, I'll hold off till the DLC roadmap is done so I can experience it all in one fell swoop, but the content to dollar ratio of a lot of the DLC is... unbalanced. Fully half of it having mixed reviews warning they aren't worth the money doesn't disabuse me of the notion much. - Inconsequential Lurker 08:50:43 12018-10-22

- LOL I just loaded the RR without being logged in and saw TheDeamon's replies. Because, as Fron said, I have applied drastic measures to my index since July 2014. I'll keep it like that. Also, since I'm here, it appears TD is saying the piece is in error in calling Garfield is a founder. But clearly it's describing the contents of the Youtube video, not making claims about Garfield. [NT] - Snapper 23:15:25 12018-10-17
  - ??? I was more mocking the Nazi's for that one than anything else, although I'll admit to also mocking the author for failing to point out Garfield was not, as is not, "a founding father." [NT] - TheDeamon 04:59:43 12018-10-18

    - I'll lay a truth bomb on the so-called "red pill" community: My aversion to SJW's is well known on this forum, but my aversion to "red pill" types is less known, but the red pillers are just as toxic in a different, there is a lot of overlap between the "incel" and red pill community, they want to believe they every bit the victims the SJW's do. Two sides to the same coin. - Rotten 09:53:09 12018-10-18
      - Haha, yeah, that's a good point. Incels are so horrible, and I guess that it's a recent development that enough angsty teen boys could congregate in one virtual spot for them to reach a critical mass of teen angst and blow up like this. [NT] - Dorg 04:40:21 12018-10-19
      - The "Red Pill" specifically and the "Infowars" community in general is a bane to human existence. That said, something else I realized in Snapper's article in particular: Their examples were Liberal to Nazi transitions(often in only a couple years or less), where were the ones who started as Conservatives or Libertarians? [NT] - TheDeamon 11:21:59 12018-10-18
        I don't want to single out liberals as being the ones more prone to Nazism because they are statist. I have seen a lot of these alt righter/redpillers state that they were former leftists (or Obama voters). But a lot of Nazis/racists/extremists are former libertarians and conservatives too. Basically, social media is filling people up with hatred and they're just becoming more and more extreme, - Rotten 11:52:37 12018-10-18
        Agreed, and i have talked briefly with InfoWars/racist people in the past who started from the Conservative end, so i know they exist. Not sure any(that I spoke to) had reached full-on Nazi though, but i have no doubt they exist. - TheDeamon 12:11:09 12018-10-18
    - Uh, what? The only negative remarks were mine, and they weren't claiming that. The remarks were that it would be both used "in bad ways" and that certain other groups would reject it because of its structure. - TheDeamon 10:24:40 12018-10-17

        "Academic studies" and "scientific research" have been getting used to bludgeon people for decades now, and activist groups(using studies they typically fund, of course) are really bad about that. A study that exclusively focuses on a specific side, regardless of how well intended, IS going to get caught up in that bullshit. - TheDeamon 18:09:18 12018-10-17

  - I thought it might be close to you. I wasn't sure how much you stuck with interactive/gaming media. The normalization/mass distribution of this stuff is really a terrible development in our culture and its kind of weird how I think we all feel somewhat adjacent to it; having grown up on a gaming forum. [NT] - Snapper 23:00:18 12018-10-17
    - YES, you're right and it is extremely weird. I'm working on an article about online harassment and how it's structured by the design of social media as we speak. [NT] - Lothos 00:17:41 12018-10-18
  - One big concern looking at that... It focuses exclusively on "right-wing radicals" to the exclusion of the "left-wing" counterparts. - TheDeamon 18:20:40 12018-10-12
    - I'm confused: the article makes no claims that these people are the only extremists on Youtube; it identifies the role the platform plays for a particular, delineated network of extremists that in this case is right wing. If I'm writing a piece about the social/historical role of potatoes, do I have to talk about tomatoes too? [NT] - Lothos 22:20:55 12018-10-12
      - It depends on who the target audience is, and as it presumably is targeting academics for academic use, it's fine. For wider use, it will be ignored in many circles because it looks like "a hatchet job" because it focuses on the one side only. - TheDeamon 00:02:06 12018-10-13
        Yep, I think the conclusions the study reaches could apply to all kinds of networks on Youtube, and this study discusses a specific one. As far as "it makes it seem partisan" goes, there's a point past which a chunk of demographics around the world ignore fundamental facts as 'fake news' unless it matches what's convenient. Reworking studies to try and appease that... doesn't work. [NT] - Lothos 00:12:50 12018-10-14
        The pro-active part of the problem here is that those other groups which weren't studied, are then going to use those same studies to unironically "bludgeon 'the other side'" with. Which isn't going to help endear that side of things to those studies. Quite the opposite. - TheDeamon 11:58:37 12018-10-14
    - lol [NT] - Sassypants McJerkface 18:35:17 12018-10-12
      - To stay on topic of the subject line: The concern is relevant because it makes the academic study seem partisan because of its focus on only one extreme while ignoring how their counterparts on the other end are using media for the same end. Unless you think Anti-Fa (for example) is as kosher as kosher can be? [NT] - TheDeamon 19:38:55 12018-10-12

        antifa, of course being defined as "anyone under 30 who isn't registered republican", while we must all be intimately familiar with each and every faction and clique within right-wing groups while assigning blame so we don't go catching patriotic citizens up with a few bad apples [NT] - Inconsequential Lurker 14:22:51 12018-10-15
        No, I'm talking about the avowed anarcho-socialists who are using/organizing Anti-Fa as a recruiting/breeding ground for themselves and to create chaos and instability because that's simply "part of the transition" as per various manifestos on the subject.

Torment: Tides of Numenera is a very imaginative, very well written novel, but the gimmick of making you run across a visual representation of the world in between chapters is very time consuming.

  - Gather a collection of goats, and eat their cheese. Then CONSUME the one whose cheese was least desirable. Discuss how the cheese was lacking during humane slaughter, dressing the remains, and cooking parts of it for consumption - in front of the other goats. Soon, the cheese of the herd will be SUBLIME. Terrified, but sublime. [NT] - Lothos 20:31:27 12018-09-09

      - The main take-away message here is that it's vital to explain to the goats what traits you're looking for in a good cheese, since it's impossible to improve without clear OH GODS NO I DERAILED A CRACK ABOUT TERRORISING GOATS WITH THOUGHTS ABOUT CURRICULUM DESIGN THROW ME IN THE SEAAAAA [NT] - Lothos 20:33:04 12018-09-09

Given we been talking about KARTOOMS, "Final Space" on Netflix is pretty good? It's not grabbed me the same way that Gravity Falls or the Avatar-verse has*, but I keep drifting back to it in a non-urgent way. Feels a lot like science-fiction RPG campaigns I've been in that wind up involving disruptive idiots who wind up growing into moments of heroism... while still being disruptive idiots.

So Disenchantment is actually pretty good if you ignore the first few episodes where not all of the jokes land and they're still trying to find their stride. In other words, it's like every show Matt Groening has ever made. [NT] - Tssha 08:46:52 12018-08-21
- That's... good to hear? I'd kinda zoned out by the third episode and I know I was present for the fourth and fifth, but I wasn't really listening at that point... [NT] - Psycho Sam! 15:36:41 12018-08-21
  - I've seen the first couple and... they're okay? They raised a chuckle periodically? Feels simultaneously like this is Matt Groening breaking a whole bunch of his own patterns and taking big risks... that might have seemed more groundbreaking ten years ago. Maybe even five years ago it'd have been noticed. Now it's... standard. [NT] - Lothos 07:30:23 12018-08-26
    - Gag-wise, they're throwing a bunch of shit at the wall to see what sticks. It's hit and miss, but they throw enough that a percentage sticks? Elfo's nice-guy schtick was old and boring forever ago, so blarh, but I'll probably keep going with it. It's just a... lower priority than a bunch of other things I'm gnawing my way through at the moment. [NT] - Lothos 07:32:24 12018-08-26
      - Yeah, I'm... not really very attached to it? Not in the same way Gravity Falls or any of the Avatar shows hooked me. It did pick up a little steam once it got into a plot arc and stopped being so episodic, but I'm not sure if that's gonna be ongoing, or just for a short run. Detached, episodic stuff just... doesn't really do it for me anymore I guess. [NT] - Vektor 14:28:07 12018-08-27
        I'm really looking forward to where it's going after episode 10, but yeah, it takes awhile to get there, and I don't blame anyone for checking out before it does. - Tssha 15:15:59 12018-08-27
