Ah fuck you’re right

Every collective will always have to prepare for and content with oppositional actors. Sadly, this is a fact of life. Anarchist theory is well versed in the concept that the state will inevitably retaliate as the existence of an anarchist society threatens the perceived hierarchical structure that state authority is founded on. If people understand they do not need to acquiesce their political autonomy to an arbitrary authority to ensure stability in their lives, the state loses the power it has over the people.

Anarchist society is founded on mutual agreements between individuals or groups of people acting on consensus. Just because a society is anarchist doesn’t mean people are absolved of responsibilities. It is specifically that those responsibilities are taken on willingly and not coerced by arbitrary structures that only serve to oppress one for the benefit of another.

Congratulations, you have discovered the starting point of anarchist philosophy. Please, read further. It’s good stuff.

“Rule of Law” is itself a form of tyranny. It is nothing more than the dictates of a hierarchical authority, originating from the authority of kings, trying to assert its control over others. It is a fundamentally oppressive system that can and has repeatedly throughout history been used to facilitate the oppression of marginalized peoples.

And then there is Andor…

Saw a couple streamers show off an hour of gameplay.

looks that they took fan criticism to heart. The night is back, it’s deadlier and darker than ever.

I see the appeal but that appeal doesn’t apply to me.

They took the Metroid out of my Metroidvania and replaced it with Dark Souls, and that just rubs me wrong.

I like some Souls-likes (Elden Ring, Lies of P, and Lords of the Fallen reboot are some of my favorite games) but I don’t like souls design creeping into my other genres that don’t need it, especially when some of the mechanics are antithetical to the genre (looking at you corpse runs).

It’s also plays very differently even if both are still Metroidvanias. Axiom is more of traditional Metroidvania while Hollow Knight/Silk Song are modern “Soulsvanias” that include Souls-like mechanics, such as precision combat with a high skill ceiling and corpse runs. I also prefer Axiom over Hollow Knight as well and wish more retro styled games were more popular.

Hollow Knight gained popularity so rapidly and widely explicitly because of it kinda, and I mean no offense by this, riding the coattails of the Souls genre and doing a better job of it than Salt and Sanctuary, which is also a great game, with great art, runs on a potato, and is also in the “Soulsvania” genre yet didn’t receive nearly the same level of recognition.

Hollow Knight just got lucky going viral. That’s just how markets be sometimes.

Shaka literally tells you they will go back to town if you talk to them I think two or three times. That’s just a Soulslike thing ya gotta get in the habit of. Exhaust that dialogue, always.

But Corpse Runs are just a dumb mechanic for a Metroidvania. Those platforming challenges wouldn’t feel so bad if not for them. Losing 200 rosary hurts. That’s a lot of time grinding that back.

Called it.

RIP Steam download servers.

Good work, bad choice of pose though.

Idk what you were going for but it really looks like she’s just lifting her leg to show off her butt and nothing else.

Like, that is not a normal pose in any way.

I’m aware, unfortunately I’m so rural that my Internet connection is satellite and not reliable nor fast enough for WFH jobs. I also don’t have a PC or place to perform a WFH position.

Financial unable to afford to move. Moving states is fucking expensive. My only income right now is food stamps. Disabled auADHD in a rural area with no job opportunities or personal transportation limiting an already scarce job pool.

Without family support, I would be homeless, which I guess if it eventually comes to that (my family is conservative and I’m always wondering when they are just going to put me to the curb) I could at least attempt to just be homeless elsewhere, but honestly I would probably just bite the bullet if I had to be homeless again in today’s world. It was hard enough 15 years ago when they kicked me out the first time for daring to ask them to support me while going to college.

Lol okay bud. You clearly don’t know what words mean.

Cool, still forcing it into the conversation. You can rag on Louisiana for being a shit hole without forcing other topics into the conversation.

Your comment didn’t even mention the deployment of the Nat.Guard. against protestors. It just glazes Newsome and his Blue Trump routine. Which, in the context of the post, is incredibly tone deaf.

Can we not force that establishment fuck face into every conversation? I’m sick of seeing that shitheel and his Blue Trump routine.

This has nothing to do with California or Newsome. No one was making this a comparison.

A child will grow up without a family in one of the worst states in the union and your first thought is how to turn this into a political stunt? Bro, sort your priorities.

Just to say, they were still semi-anarchist in nature, but not in the modern sense where it means “chaos” rather the political sense where it means “absence of hierarchy and horizontally-structured self-governance”, which is representative of the confederated nature of the Flying Gang where the different crews were considered equal and all had a say in their governance, based in a mutually agreed upon code of conduct. Within the crews themselves, captains were more like delegates who were chosen to take on leadership responsibilities but were at the whims of the crew. Power came from the bottom up, not the top down. If a crew was displeased with how their captain led the ship they were well within their right to depose him and appointed a new one.

Anarchism is not the bad “chaos and disorder” that the ruling class would have you believe.

Really wish more people understood this.
