Neoliberalism is Fabian socialism. Because we have governments to protect property and mop up capitalism's social mess just enough to prevent insurrection. Libertarians are possibly the most dangerously indoctrinated, miseducated and deluded cultists in modern history.
That’s far from an accurate description of reality. The 0.00001%, not the 1% of whom you speak, funded and promoted the opposite system—Fabian socialism—as a tool to promote the centralisation by which they would gain control of the world. That process is in its final stages and it’s a disaster. The decentralised economies and free markets championed by Von Hayek produced far less inequality than the corporatist system we now confront.

a system which imposes - in its very name - a priority of capital over life, will - whenever push comes to shove - kill for profit.

My honest belief is that we have the organizational infrastructure necessary but it’s all atomized and segregated. Everybody is trying to create new projects but we need to be building coalition.

I'd be astonished if Miyamoto / Nintendo get cancelled for using AI. Mario and Zelda are bulletproof. When a boycott becomes too inconvenient, the behaviour will pivot to "begrudgingly participating in society" like from the meme

This graphic was used on a national television broadcast of a major sports championship, we are beyond cooked. We are served to the table and already sent back to the kitchen cooked

The main problem with vibe-coded games isn't bad code or even AI art.
It's that you can generate years of implementation in days, but not years of playtesting, iteration, and design judgment.
A game can be finished in a weekend.
That doesn't mean it's been designed.

i hope you see this as a much deeper baseball x pokemon mashup, with a lot of thought into actual mechanics, strategy, and the gestures natural for pokemon (& their attributes and tms).
it is worth mentioning that it’s v inspired by mlb showdown - which i wanted to play online with my brother from a thousand miles away, as a way to stay in touch.
thinking of things as a board/card game instead of arcade-slop has shaped something i think has a surprising amount of depth and nuance and strategic approaches. that said this trailer is meme-y haha but the mechanics, ui, strategy cards, the whole experience etc was made w care and love for pokemon.

If you played mlb showdown and pokemon as a kid, then this game is right up your alley

@lapdoteth This is an amazing mash-up. We host a weekly #MLBShowdown podcast. We would enjoy having you on to highlight what you are doing. Let me know if we can make this happen.

the term “doomer” is getting pushed by the algorithm and too many of you are playing along. the term is a psyop to discredit people who acknowledge and talk about reality.
recognizing flock cameras and data centers are furthering the surveillance police state doesn’t make you a doomer; it makes you still in touch with reality.
recognizing billionaire fascists gutted the government and put it in $40 trillion in debt while making tens of trillions off those wars doesn’t make you a doomer; it makes you aware of who our enemies are (not your neighbors btw).
recognizing that capitalism has killed over half the animals on earth doesn’t make you a doomer; it makes you aware of evil.
recognizing insane psychopaths leading the us of israel are committing a genocide and have bombed+attacked 15 countries in the last 2 years doesn’t make you a doomer; it means you see the imperialist hegemony as it is.
recognizing gas prices and grocery prices are insane and due to the above + corporate greed doesn’t make you a doomer; it means you still see 2+2=4 and maintain winston smithism.
recognizing climate change, nuclear holocaust risk (us of israel again), and unfettered ai deployment as species and planet risking endeavors doesnt make you a doomer; it means you still appreciate life despite the onslaught of propaganda that they shove in your eyeballs to make you lose your soul.
recognizing epstein didn’t kill himself doesn’t mean you’re a doomer; it means you understand how power works in the west.
recognizing the above is all lied about by a media owned by the hegemonic psychopathic pedophilic oligarchs and then you are shamed as a “doomer” for seeing it doesn’t make you one; it means you are still a human.
where the fuck my humans at?! keep talking about reality! we are each other’s life lines!

Lincoln was a third party candidate who emerged bc neither major party would take up abolitionism. If she had her way, my people would still be enslaved, & she wouldn't be in this country bc there would've been no Black civil rights struggle to overturn racist immigration policy.

Some of you aren’t afraid of socialism. You’re afraid someone you consider beneath you might receive something you had to struggle for. And instead of questioning why you had to struggle, you’ve decided everyone else should suffer too. Fascinating little psychological prison you’ve built.
