It's a good time to jump in cuz they're definitely trying to make it easier for beginners to start. I myself started with Rise but I'm interested in playing a main line game with more grounded mechanics.

Been playing Deadlock as my main game since I started back in August and been enjoying it. Looking forward to Monster Hunter Wilds in February. Really enjoyed the beta but worried about performance in the full game, cuz it wasn't great in the beta.

The US election system is so fucked up (by design) that it's kinda funny that the dems would be more successful if they tried to move more to the right than they already are. A shit ton of people in the US already think Kamala is too far left (somehow) so moving more right would literally get a lot of their vote because there's a good amount of right-wingers who don't like Trump. Plus, if you convince some republicans to vote democrat it's like you're getting two votes (you get one vote, and republicans lose one).

Edit: I appreciate the replies, honestly I'm not in the correct mindset to make comments and think today. Sleep schedule is all messed up and I did not think my thoughts through here lol

That's the west's favorite way to do it. "This country is terrible and we can squash them" and at the same time they say "this country is a menace and will take over the world if we don't stop them."

Hoping he's a good leader but his recent meetings with the US Pacific fleet admiral and then a USAID administrator is highly questionable.

Balkan Odyssey is a weird (weird in the idk what to think about them sense) one imo. They've got some good videos but I remember watching their "What do we do with former socialism" video and they had some bad opinions. The one I remember off the top of my head was that they said

“Marxists-Leninists, or Stalinists, for the lack of a better term […]”

Not necessarily a psychology book but Wretched of the Earth by Frantz Fanon does go into a psychoanalysis of the effects colonization has on people and nations as a whole.

I definitely agree with you but also think that while Elden Ring can be difficult to learn, it's just like any other skill or hobby where you put a bit of time and effort and you can beat it no problem (a person's goldfish beat some bosses). The game also has ways to make it easier by summoning other players or summoning NPCs to help you. Don't get me wrong though, there should be more accessibility options to help people.

This could be the whole thread right here. Great book that goes very in depth and really opened my eyes years ago when I read it.

You're not wrong at all but there's also the chance your kids turn out like Kamala Harris and Pete Buttigieg (both their fathers were/are Marxists).
