nice! i hope you enjoy it. if you get to a point where you want detailed information on the game, check out the dustloop wiki.

agreed with ocommie, strive is cool but plus r is just awesome, plus it’s got better online and you don’t have to worry about your favorite character randomly becoming shit thanks to patches. also it’s on sale for $3.44 usd right now

I finished Chrono Trigger recently, fuckin’ awesome game. I haven’t really been able to articulate my thoughts on it yet but I can definitely understand why it’s got its reputation. Now I’m finally playing Disco Elysium, I’m only a few hours in but I’m loving it so far. I also started Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, but I’m kinda garbage at platformers and these sorts of old action games and this one seems pretty hard, so uhh I guess we’ll see if I can keep up with it.

Prolewiki has an absolute beginner’s list that should be valuable to you. +1 to Blackshirts and Reds, personally I would read this before anything else. The State and Revolution is definitely a must read for all socialists, but I think I agree with the beginner list that it would be better as a followup once you’ve got a working understanding of marxism.

idk about the other stuff but i had problems with buttons like the next page one not working like you are describing. are you on an iphone? for me it was an issue with safari being out of date, and updating my phone fixed the issue. maybe try next.hexbear.net as well.

i seriously doubt they actually believe this even a little bit. fascists constantly say obvious nonsense like this, that they know is obvious nonsense.

reminds me of this classic

oh damnit lol. thanks, should be fixed now

In addition to the answers you’ve gotten already, here’s some links that may be of interest to you.

How did the whole war in the Donbas start? Why did Donets and Luhansk declare independence?

According to Lenin’s definition of imperialism, is the Russian Federation imperialist?

PSL Statement on Russia’s military intervention in Ukraine

Prolewiki page on the war

Most of these links are a few years old already, but at a glance they appear to me to still be relevant. I’m unfortunately busy with work so I can’t take a more in-depth look at the moment, but hopefully this will still be of some value.

Listen, I’m all for dunking on shitlibs, but if someone’s literally asking for reading recs on communism, I think we should at least try and give them something. Maybe I’m just being naive or my sealion detector is bad or something, but this to me seems like a good faith request, even if it’s very ignorant.

What the fuck is are you talking about? Yes, obviously there is basically no such thing as consentual wage labor, we don’t call it wage slavery just to be provocative. I’m so sick of communists turning into libertarians the minute sex work comes up.

The only gang in Aurora is the Aurora PD

Anybody here want to play Super Smash Bros. Gaylee with me 👉👈

Highly recommend you read Masses, Elites, and Rebels. I was just corrected myself on the topic of brainwashing the other day by some people here. They are not a brainwashed CIA bot, they are a beneficiary of imperialism who latched onto propaganda as a means of justifying their place in the world and their continued inaction.

Getting close to the end of Chrono Trigger I think, it’s my first time playing it and I’ve been really enjoying it. After I finish that I’m split between whether I want to finally play Disco Elysium (assuming my computer can even run it lol) or give Xenogears a try.

Yeah I got to that comment tree and blacked out for a bit, knew it was time to close the thread. Just unbelievably vile people

that’s pretty typical i think, i know the oot and mm pc ports are unaffiliated with the zelda reverse engineering team, and if i remember right the same was true for mario 64 but i’m not sure

I only played the beginning of the switch version but it felt good to me. I haven’t played the original in like a decade though

I’ve been meaning to read this essay for a bit! I read a chunk of China Has Billionaires yesterday on my break. I like how clear Roderic Day’s writing is, so I’ll definitely have to make time for that next.
