The Gaming Den

Oh and I want to add. Various Western governments may be going for this Media before Reality strategy. But even that is flawed on its own terms because they do not in actual fact control the corporate media and it has instincts beyond self preservation and towing the war hawk party line. The media l...

Also. This is not a thing which has finished happening and will immediately start to be forgotten. It has only STARTED happening. It could be REALLY huge and take AGES to finish, after all, a certain Israeli leader basically is fighting resignation demands exclusively on the basis of the war still g...

We're living in a time where I've seen more pro Palestinian support than I think I've ever seen and the people in power are just ignoring it, or worse, actively attempting to suppress it. Ever since the Ukraine propoganda blitz (hey are the two weeks it was supposed to take to win that war up yet?)...

Well rumors have been saying the Biden admin is panicking over polling data based on them shedding support with younger voters over the whole Israel debacle.

This seems like the sensible centrist solution they would reach for to square that circle.

This is genuinely insane. A week ago I couldnt guess what the hell the plan was for western politicians fully supporting this when a week passed and it was clear that it was an unprecedented atrocity. Now its already clear and I cant help but wonder what the fucking hell the plan is when the smoke c...

Basically the previous conservative government was so incredibly full of scams that now every time they try to do anything they trip over one of their own recent historical scams. Whats even better is one of the top three scam guys from that era is actually the same guy now running the conservative ...

So interesting dynamic from the conservative party here over the voice and its rejection. The voice proposal was the result of a conservative party community consultation project during an era when they thought they could sort of coral the aboriginal vote in far north queensland. They also thought t...

Ok some low profile articles asking the "is we racist" questions id like to see are around barely. But my favourite so far was a first dog on the moon political cartoon on the topic in the guardian (au). Not for anything it says or not itself. Its first dog on the moon "mostly innocio...

My local city voted Yes. Which is slightly surprising. And so if I had voted 20 minutes down the road I could say I contributed to a Yes vote which if replicated across the nation would have been almost exactly the margin required for an over all yes win. But I actually live in the "rural"...

Considering what israel is gearing up to do next and how unpopular they already are with the voters i cant imagine what the political class thinks they are going to be looking like in about a week and how they plan to distance themselves when it turns out theyve been openly giving unconditional supp...

Mad crackdowns on pro palastinian protests in the west are being pretty damn extra right now. Our media have been increasingly hawkish and imperliast since the post iraq crackdowns on dissent but that even our ostensibly left of center governments here in Australia are trying to criminilize these pr...

Look i know there are genuine outright antisemite nazis out there. But as a general rule when someone is being bludgeoned in the media for being anti Israel its almost always a blunt tool against the left.

Has the UK been invisible the last 5 years?

So the no campaign has a lot of scare tactics and lies. Ties into all sorts of crack pot far right conspiracy and even the sovereign citizens movement. Best one i have now heard from a prominent no leader. The accusation is that "they" want an entire parrallel government of equal size with...

Right now i dont know how im going to vote in the referendum. I know which way im going to vote. I just dont know literally HOW im going to do the voting. Im stuck in issolation in hospital.

It doesnt take any deep observation of israel to understand that every possible event ends up being applied as a justification for killing more palastinians. You already identified it noticing that the palastinian attacks here whatever else you might think were provoked but the media israel and the ...

Even seemingly decent australians dont like to face how racist a majority of other australians are. The referendum hasnt really made them face it because unlesss you are campaigning no one that addled and fence sitting is actually required to talk to a no voter about their oppinions on aboriginals. ...

I didntmention theno campaign slogan and its a god damn doozy "If you dont know vote no" The whole campaign being that voting is too hard to understand so just vote racist because its comfortable. It is a profoundly antidemocratic campaign. Racism preferences aside actively campaigning on ...

So you maybe remember everyone thinking australians seem nice. Then the internet happened and you all ended up talking to us. Then people specifically from the uk us and canada were still like you guys seem nice. Right up until an australian ever mentioned aboriginals in any context. And people were...

Were you playing "convince someone else to throw rocks at a wasp nest" or playing "convince someone else to ride a shopping trolley down a hill"? Or how about "We wanted to play brandy, but lost our single collective tennis ball, but someone found a cricket ball and that's ...

I wasn't watching scarier things when I was 8. (Well, I was actually)

I was DOING scarier things when I was 8.

Maybe that was just rural Australian childhood for you.

It wasn't too scary for my 8-year-old, but it was close.

Hold up, what?

and it will make the cops sad

I'm going to make the assertion that cops are very emotionally vulnerable.

Best I heard were dumb asses arguing about the rating on steam. Which went. "Hey guys 45 percent of those rating the game seem to have gotten a key without a direct purchase" Then fanboys so dumb they couldn't come up with "not a direct purchase could mean a lot of things. As could th...

You uh. Seen the price on the new Space Bethesda experience. No way man. Just no way is it worth that. It's Bethesda, post Morrowind Bethesda, post name each new game/low in succession after that Bethesda . So sure why NOT pay an all time high to experience what we all know will be Bethesda's latest...

Is this a window for me to say I think the new Baldur's gate is ok but overated and fundamentally flawed in ways that make it not my thing.
Like all the other Baldur's gates.
Waaaaay overated. Like all the other Baldur's gates.
