Because ownership of the means of production is not likely to happen anytime soon and it would be nice if society sucked a little less for the proletariat in the meantime. Socialists don't just think about how society should be, but also about how we should act in the society they live in...

Do I have to activate it somehow for it to show up? Or did you just miss me?

According to a friend of mine who has been playing it, the bugs make it pretty much unplayable, with all manner of crashes or issues that require restarts left and right.

Well the scenario doesn't seem very particular for parliamentary systems either. The united states congress can also get rid of presidents it doesn't like. It has the advantage that he would be replaced with the vice president who is usually similar and loyal enough to the president to not make...

And yet several perfectly functional parliamentary systems, including ones with no large parties exist in Europe. In those countries, no coups have been seen in a long time. I see no evidence of any relation between a many-party system and political violence and coups, just because both happened...

Ok, well that's tough. I must admit I don't know what options there are for avoiding that if any. I suppose they could have waited longer or started production earlier though that's also not ideal. Though people are going to have to wait either way, that way you at least reduce the scalping.

Well, supply more of the things for one. The initial sales are only a part of what you'll eventually sell so even if you have made too many of the things, you'll likely sell all of your initial batch in due time. Unlike milk playstations don't spoil. Supply them locally as OP said. And try...

Certainly though some of the gameplayrelated details don't ring many bells I think I get what you are going for. My memory of the mechanics of these type of role playing games is rather fuzzy. Well there is definitely enough detail and motivation here to not just be generically dark and grumpy...

Well, that review was entertaining. A humorous merger of a guys personal and political crisis with a PS5 review. Probably it should have been written by somebody who cared more about reviewing a console, but I kind of liked this end result as well. It actually did go pretty in depth about quite...

I'm mistrustful of all sides of these discussions where people argue that people are making things too political or that everything is politics or related to politics or whatever. The whole way it is discussed seems to misplace the actual grievances and leave the whole discussion intractable...

He, you didn't have to call me out like that. The serious answer is, that your characterization as dark sounds very vague. I hope you are clear on some of the specific ways your character is dark and is meant to grow as well as on a redeeming quality or two. Is he just generally a grumpy...

The right difficulty is a balance. It requires enough challenge to not be boring but not so much that the game just becomes frustrating. Neither easy mode nor normal mode struck the right balance for this writer. In strategy games like XCOM or CKII we have ironman modes, that disable...

I've been reading 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms'. It's three prequels to the song of ice and fire books packed together, about a young knight named Duncan the Tall or Dunk. Now Duncan is just adorable, and it's nice to read some stories in this world where the pov character doesn't have to...

https://v1.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/view/pseudonym I guess I'm a little late to this party but I was there for six years or so. I'd like the badge.

Well that's sad. Biden is less bad than Trump but Bernie would have been actually good. I mean how bad is it when a hawkish, police brutality facilitating sexual harassing creep with dementia is apparently the better candidate? By virtue, I suppose, of not outright denying climate change and of...
