It is indeed a systemic issue, but his government is the strongest player in making sure this system is strenghtened rather than weakened.

In addition to all the bad stuff, there has also been more and more people pushing to make things better: Reduce laws and influence from religious fundamentalists, return land claimed by settlers and spread an understanding that they are doing evil, peace and trade with neighboring countries, etc.

And he is afraid of them. That is why he is trying to move to what is practically a dictatorship and go into perpetual war.

With the current government gone, there is at least hope that the non-fundamentalist politics can take the wheel.

I’m stretching the word “hope” to near breaking point here, I know. It would go from “impossible” to merely “impossibly hard with decades of hard concessions” to fix things.

Yessss, that was an embarrassing omission in my list.

My bank: “We have a new valuation on your home! Open your app to see it!”

“It’s down 2%!”

Fair! But why “Pirates!” but not Civilization? Formally, they are all named with the prefix.

Gossip, not news.

You and what army?

DragonBox have been excellent. Been a few years and ownership changes since I looked at their games, so hopefully they haven’t enshittened.

Skyrim is ported to RealityV3. It is still buggy. Hackers have successfully run Doom on a hydrogen atom. Gamers are shitting and yelling that someone put a Martian as a playable character in Red Dead Redemption MCMVII.

Also in article, Elon Musk shits himself loudly again hoping someone will pay attention to him.

The laws of captialism entropy:

Any organization that sees success will attract profit-driven leadership, and will become such over time. The soul from the original founders will be watered down, dampened, or ejected.

A profit-driven organization will over time become more and more profit-seeking, never less. Once this reaches a certain threshold, we start to use phrases like “enshittification”. Valve hasn’t gone shit yet imho, but their soul and passion doesn’t seem to lie in games anymore.

The next excellent product comes from new, growing organizations or small teams that may grow into such.

It is best to just treat it as any other law of nature and so we move on from Blizzard, Google, EA, Valve, Epic Games, Unity, etc and go swim in the wonderful vibrant indie scene.

It’s playable and you can enjoy the game, but 30FPS is embarrassing. It makes me feel like I’m a kid playing on a PC assembled out of old leftover components. Which was tolerable when I was a cashless kid playing pirated games on inherited frankenPCs, but it feels so wrong when playing a bought game on its intended spec hardware.

Been playing it a few hours. So far the tactical part feels very similar to Fights in Tight Spaces but more forgiving. Puzzly, lots of interactions with environment.

The writing is really well done and the humor and tone are wonderful in the way only brits can do it.

There is something about an out-of-work elite strike team having to rely on public transport and using the lead wizard’s mom’s apartment for HQ while they are still taking everything seriously.

Then why do they need to be ruled by Moscow?

I try.

Yes hello

Thank fuck. Those parts of the game were grating.

• Putin makes a big deal out of how fighting in Ukraine is by volunteers and contained so that “regular russians” are safe. This fight goes on in areas defended by conscripted soldiers, breaking that safety layer.

Spreading outrageous lies that result in harassment and violence is clearly not something to tolerate.

The US is not a good example to bring up if you want to argue it is fine to allow it.
