@Global_Mil_Info what if we kissed here

BREAKING: Multiple ballistic missile impacts have been reported in downtown Tel Aviv.

@DennisSchulting I'd pay postage for a copy of it, living in Romania

@ecto_fun It was the mullet

it’s so confusing why did i think i hated this man so much and now in every clip i see hes cool

@MightyKeef These people are so into masculinity they must be gay

Man what an absolute loser.

@daisyldixon literally those people

just when I thought my imposter syndrome was going away, a man’s brain broke in front of me the other night when he found out I’d studied at Cambridge and that I’m now a lecturer - his actual words: 🤔 “no offence but you don’t look like you do any of those things”

@Sztwilgzerd @felipepepe Difficulty might play a big role in this too, since I am not master, I usually play crpgs on normal difficulty. Thing is idk which direction would hard difficulty take me, either a faster burnout or a more engaging experience

@raul_moro02 @felipepepe I will 100% replay PoE1 (+ DLCs which I haven't tried) but in story mode to ignore combat (my first playthrough was on hard difficulty, I think)

I'm surprised and a bit worried that Obsidian is doing previews of Avowed that link to stuff that happened in Pillars 1 & 2. Don't get me wrong, Deadfire is a masterpiece, but how many people played it? And it's already hard to push it to newcomers since it's so tied to PoE 1...

@Sztwilgzerd @felipepepe and here I feel a little bit of decoupling of gameplay and story, whereas you would want these to be as intertwined as possible, but I got to the point where I just wanted to get through combat sequences just to get to the story part, and in the end you start to rush it all 2/2

@Sztwilgzerd @felipepepe I know I'm not the one you asked but one problem of pacing for me is a little bit connected to your issue with getting OP. I feel like the game drags on too long at certain points where you have to get through a lot of combat sequences to get some story. 1/2

@felipepepe 1 better than 2*

@felipepepe I honestly think that narratively POE 1 is a better game than 1, while gameplay systems and encounters are better in 2. So I think you would miss out a lot if you don't play 1

@_rawrell if your retarded ass can only interpret cultural products through the generic "yeah bro we trapped in the inevitability of human nature" type shit 'cause its the least political interpretation you should treat yourself

Media literacy experts when they find out Fallout and Bioshock were about exploring different aspects of human nature instead of "muh capitalism bad"

@MichelleObama @BarackObama how did she get so old in like a few months

31 years, and a lifetime to go. I love going through life with you by my side, @BarackObama. Happy anniversary, honey! ❤️

@TKsMantis I think it is rather related to the USSA lore in the game, lore that you find in your first brotherhood quest at ArtJec which basically tells the story of the company contracted to create the XMB booster necessary to send people to Mars, which seemed to be a huge project in 2077

I think this is actually a tease to Starfield. Bethesda often hints at their next games in their previous games. Fallout 4 was their last single-player adventure. Before Fallout 4, we heard nothing of this Sea of Tranquility battle, and it's so out of place. #Starfield

@14JUN1995 but this transforms him into a philosophical shrine

@14JUN1995 It may be a way of redescovering Hegel himself, saying that something was there in Hegel already, but only as a retroactive move. It's like saying X wrote Y, but naah, it was there in Hegel, well one needs to read X to be able to go back and find it in Hegel himsell

What does one get from saying “Hegel already discovered [this point I’m making]” — conceptual security, a face for your thought, a deceptive humility?

@PKernaghan yep, the concept car and the podcast are amazing

@HunterKinder @thewastedworld I did not get the chance to read it yet, but I plan to do it this summer, but I saw Benjamin had an essay on it and really wanted to read Goethe first to get a better grasp of the essay itsef

@raul_moro02 @thewastedworld How are you liking elective affinities? I've been meaning to delve into Goethe ever since reading Artie Schopenhauer.

@jesawyer looks great, very nice "the name of the rose" vibes

I'll shut up (mostly) about Pentiment in a few days but for the next little while I'm going to be spamming coverage/posts so... bear with me (or mute me for a bit).

@14JUN1995 Comay brings this up in her essay "Hegel's last words: Mourning and Melancholia" and its pretty good

@14JUN1995 that is interesting, but why is the distinction arbitrary? If I understand corectly, isn't that the reason why Hegel ends his Phenomenology citing Schiller, either philosophy cannot complete its own thought and relapses into vorstellung, or philosophy has to leave behind poetry

once you do away with the arbitrary distinction between philosophy and the literary, the claim that reactionary poets/novelists are fine because their useful for emancipation and reactionary philosophers are not becomes void
