  • All the people I know have internalized sinophobia and russo phobia. It’s pathetic. One of them was born in the USSR and thinks russian are out to get her. Her family is russian, dog gammit!

    I have been accused of being pro china because I was not jumping on the china bad bandwagon. My actual stance is that all organized states are bad and these people know it!

    I guess being from Apartheidland (no, the one in africa was the copycat) and having no culture of its own but american propaganda movie is some sort of an explanation, of not an excuse.

    But yeah, it’s anedoctally endemic to “liberal by default” people from my experience.





  • The outer worlds world building was cool, the voice acting was nice… I can’t remember the game story at all. The gameplay had only one quality : it existed. The weapon selection could have been cool but it was not. They didn’t weave the good world building they did in the other elements of the game and it was a shame.

    So, I think it’s a lost opportunity of a game. It could have been way cooler with not a lot of efforts. I feel it took some risks while avoiding all the risks a game should take.

    TL;DR : This game is like horseradish. It starts strong then offer no more flavor that what it started with. Then you get tired of that flavor and ask yourself why you are eating horseradish in the first place.


  • Here is what I’d do.

    Find a group who are trans-friendly in another country where they teach the program you want. Community/friend will be helpful because they will know how to protect you, what to say/do in a foreign land.

    Then study how to get a student visa there and apply to a school that teach your program. Also if you are a top performer, they may be interested in hosting you with social advantages (lodging/food/other nice stuff). So shop around.

    The world is not a friendly place right now. You might want to tell everyone you are a trans-communist but right now your first focus should be your survival. To survive you will need to keep your ideals to yourself for a while.

    Also be wary of anyone who tries to convince you there are magical place where everything is nice. These persons are ideologists and should be ignored until you can ascertain for yourself what is the material reality of the place.

    So: TL;DR.

    Look for a community first. Don’t listen to fairy tales. Look at the actual reality of the place. Talk to people actually living there who are people that are at least, a bit like you. Then find a school and contact them. Then get a student visa or equivalent. Hide what you are as much as you can.

    That’s going to be your op-sec for now on.

    Thanks care friend






  • Yeah! It’s fascinating seeing both types of post from trumpidor the first. That said … I wonder how that works in our material world.

    I mean - from my point of view and analysis, trumpidor is either an actor playing the role of a floundering politician or a floundering politician.

    If he is an actor, most of what I see starts to make sense. He has a team, he works with other, he’s mostly a Muppet with other imperialist hands up his ass and so he must be pitied as he is not his own man.

    If he is not … Everything becomes more complicated as he’s most likely only a demented old man in an untenable position, trying his best to stay afloat in the sea of shit he is himself creating. It’s at best a real attempt at disturbing the uncomfortable status quo and at worst, elder abuse.

    But I’m to get back to the subject, what I am really wondering is how it would work in real life if he had a team writing these. How can these people sleep at night ? Who are they ? Where do they come from ? Why don’t they talk / whistleblower / boast about it ?

    Keeping secret is hard …

    So maybe we are just seeing trumpidor in moments of lucidity and then in rage/drugs/stress induced moments ?

    It’s so hard to guess from so far away …


  • Obsidian is an AA studio.

    They used to be indie and produce masterpiece games that didn’t get sold because they didn’t have mass appeal. Both Pillars game are awesome - it’s kinda sad that they now do 3d games with minimal deepness - and i’m not saying Avowed and The Outer World are not awesome in some ways, just that they lack the little something both pillars had.
