Exactly. They keep blaming Trump’s victory on third parties when then numbers simply don’t reflect that. The Democrats (and the leftists who fall for their propaganda) refuse to accept that their stale brand of phoney progressive politics just isn’t popular. Here is my tentative analysis of why the Democrats really lost (THREAD):

What would your job on the leftist commune be???

@yacobg42 It’s a really interesting approach to allegory, in which the allegory is so heavy-handed that it actually starts to pierce the seams of the game’s diegetic reality. A clever way to have your thematic cake and eat it too.

Still reflecting on how unexpectedly great the story in Returnal is. Absolute banger. Hoping that it'll get a resurgence in appreciation at some point, because it feels like it flew a bit under the radar.

Proud to display my work alongside these wonderful scholars!

When you watch something like david lynch & enjoy it without knowing why— it’s because it’s rigorously organized on a plane of hermeneutics you don’t have words for yet, but its structure relates to your imagination, & you intuit this, even without understanding it.

@KBULTRA0 Bruh I’ll go off about Metropolis and Mental life any day of the week.

@colewehrle @IonGameDesign Why should their discursive efficacy be limited to ideas we’ve deemed “unproblematic”? Pax Emancipation is fraught, to say the least, but it is one of the most unique artistic and historical arguments in the medium. Phil’s ideas will always be present in the design.

@IonGameDesign I'm glad to see you all stepping up. Games have so much discursive power, and I'm encouraged to see the commitment to putting their subjects in their proper context.

While we will honor our contractual obligations regarding game design work by Phil Eklund, we will not continue to publish essays or non-factual footnotes in our printed or living rules. We issue the following official statement:

@IonGameDesign I do not agree with essentially anything Phil has ever written in his footnotes. However, I do find them fascinating. Phil’s ideas inform his designs; they can’t be separated. So to continue to publish his designs without his commentary feels dishonest.

Resistances do not derive from a few heterogeneous principles; but neither are they a lure or a promise that is of necessity betrayed. They are the odd term in relations of power; they are inscribed in the latter as an irreducible opposite. — Michel Foucault

Happy New Year! For the occasion, I'd like to share Nietzsche's New Year's resolution from 1882.

An ultra-long-distance call. Your ear fills with a crackle, the wash of a strange ocean full of white noise. A little bird starts ringing in there, not like the local calling tone before. No, a small ring in a cage of distortion, far away, a distant network of phones...

@danpinchbeck was Georges Bataille’s Accursed Share an influence on A Machine for Pigs at all?

@KBULTRA0 What do you think of the COIN series, A Distant Plain, etc?
