remember Gamasutra and Leigh Alexander?

they became irrelevant, and gamers are doing better than ever.

superbly interesting observations.

since the thread spirals into a blackpill, let's see if we can shift it back to normal track

background: progressivism is the official religion of the west.
USA is exporting it heavily to other countries.

two subject to investigate:
- what are the differences between USA and target countries
- how to get the society back on track Image

>It just creates a selection pressure for religions to shed the spandrels named "church" and "god."

key words: "selection pressure".

we want a counter-pressure for balance.

for gameplay reasons, the original Cyberpunk 2020 had un-copyable programs & files. you couldn't just copy stuff from your own cyberdeck to your buddy's.

the game would've been a bit less *engaging* if you could. call it a cyber superpower. Image

the present-day gate-keeps are the mass distribution platforms that enforce the (quite broken) DMCA to cover their own arses.

you *think* you can copy any program or any file, but it gets ever more at mercy of devices' manufacturers. Image

hi Micah,

i feel called out, so i'm responding in kind.

i agree with several key assertions. excellent observation:

>[some call 2020] the most important election in their lifetime. On a personal note I disagree with that, because 2016 became much more significant due to the influence that Trump ended up having on the Supreme Court
3/
very much on point:

>I don't want us to hedge all of our bets on the future of this nation solely on the back of Donald Trump.

great, great:
“it's not whether or not you get knocked down, it's if you get back up.”
