It works.

Petition for Silksong to be considered an honorary patient gamer game, given I waited seven years to play it.

Who asked for this?

Me, too. The middle “panel” really threw me off.

How willing are you and how willing do you believe millennials and gen-z are to relocate their life some number of hours away to participate in a funded solar punk initiative?

I wouldn’t be able to give you an honest answer to this unless I knew what we were building and what the compensation model looked like.

So far it sounds very vague.

I just need Plex to survive until I can replace it with Jellyfin.

This is why, at the end of the day, even amidst my anger and frustration… I do have empathy for people who don’t understand solarpunk. Because they are falling prey to the actual critique I have of the genre. That we simply need more of it. That there’s not enough out there that really delves into the nuts and seeds. At least not enough to overpower the AI slop and greenwashing and capitalization of these concepts.

It feels like solarpunk is suffering from the same problem that communism and socialism have for decades: the people who are trying to build a real movement under that name are getting drowned out out tourists and haters, to the point that the strawman version is more recognisable than the “real” version.

When I first learned about the movement, I was excited and started building my own project under the banner. As I explored more, I was disappointed by how much AI slop and pie-in-the-sky roleplay there was.

I’m still building my project, but I may not publish it as a solarpunk work because I don’t want it to be tainted by association with the strawman.

What happens if you put the food bowl on the robot?

How it feels having to click five links to get to the release notes.

You just insulted my entire race of people.

I explicitly looked for “evil races ttrpg” in YouTube and most of the results are from 2-5 years ago.

Who’s blowing up the algorithm by raising a dead topic?

I use the deck’s battery as a poopsocking feature.

Battery runs out? I’m done for the day.

Unfortunately(?) some indies are so optimized I can play for hours and only run the battery down halfway.

So… charity with fewer steps?

De caca?! Oh.

This pilot offered a glimpse into the model’s potential while operating under many constraints. Within a very tight timeline of approximately six weeks, the FLAC Design Team facilitated channeling unrestricted funds — considered ‘gifts’ or ‘reparations’ — to five diverse groups working at the intersections of gender, environment, and climate justice. These funds, ranging between $20,000 and $30,000 USD, were given with no reporting requirements and allocated based on identified needs and capacities and work already being done in the world.

This just sounds like a charity with extra steps. (Nothing necessarily wrong with that.)

How do you identify nightshade vs other things-with-leaves?

Did we go back in time? I thought she already got the stick sword to beat the Funpire?

Also, I agree with the above poster. This one is too convoluted to come out this slowly.

Who tf is Iris Murdoch?

The philosopher and novelist Iris Murdoch, however, insists that love is not only morally relevant, but absolutely central to morality. She begins two of her most famous essays with assertions of the significance of love in ethics, claiming in ‘The Idea of Perfection’ (1962) that ‘love is a central concept in morals’, and in ‘On “God” and “Good”’ (1969) that ‘we need a moral philosophy in which the concept of love, so rarely mentioned now by philosophers, can once again be made central.’

Okay. Cool, ig.
