    Hi I’m a normie with money to burn and I love supporting whatever the fuck bird brained cumcoin you wanna throw at me. Why do you fuckwhits use phrases like shock-troop and final solution if you want honest straight-edge folks like me to invest?

    Are ya maybe secretly fascists? Or is it this weird problem where the projects morals are in the right place but you just can’t shake all these Nazi terms and imagery cuz the community abides it and feels very strongly about it?

    I know this is your instance so I expect a ban. I hope this prompts at least a bit of discussion in your community amongst the wise and learned. What the fuck is wrong with you snivelling little Nazi shits that you can’t even keep your piss out of your advertising?

    Because no normie wants to be a part of this thing when people like… that are and have often been the face of your little movement since the “Satoshi Nakamoto just saved mankind” days. Disgusting.

    Are you stupid?

    Btw no I’m not one of your downvoters but I would if I could ;)







  • I would say Poe’s Law isn’t in effect here as the majority of 196 instance users (posters NOT lurkers) are anti-heirarchy as a soft prerequisite to jiving and understanding the humor.

    I’ll say this, have we tried Yassifying the Kleptocracy? I mean have we run the numbers???

    Reminds me of this SCP:

    SCP-3125 is adapted for survival in an ideatic ecology considerably more violent and hostile than our own. (Here, “our own” refers to human head space: the set of all ideas which humans have or are biologically capable of having.) Because humans have no natural exposure to ideas as aggressive as SCP-3125, human minds have no protective evolutionary adaptations against it.


  • You cant stop a national government from making weapons and conducting war. A national government, however, should regulate corporations in its territory or sphere of influence to prevent attrocities and tragedies the corporations would conduct. You do not yet live in an idealic valley of plenty where there are corporations but not a government, so you must lend your voice; do you want one Tyranny Machine to run or should there be two Tyranny Machines and the second one has no oversight or regulation from the appropriate parties. Remember that when the government turns on its Tyranny Machine at least competing governments can oppose it. If you are not careful the Free Market Beast will allow many Tyranny Machines to run simultaneously.

    But for Deus Ex, we’ve got… I don’t know, Cyberpunk 2077, maybe? But the whole open world thing doesn’t really fit in with the usual gameplay loop of Deus Ex. There are a fair amount of great cyberpunk games, but none seem to really scratch that immersive sim itch. I guess Prey is pretty close as well (in addition to its System Shock influences), if you consider some of the body/power upgrades, but it’s not all that similar thematically.

    Check out Cruelty Squad by Ville Kallio on Steam. Aesthetically and spiritually it scrys into the future on the same level Deus Ex did and delivers an even more dire prophecy that feels as disturbingly prescient. It takes the open ended levels of DX and adds insane verticality and mind bending traversal. It plays more tactically than Deus Ex but the augment system is really rewarding and enables the player to munchkin their way to their target.

    You may notice it looks artistically like a 13th century Christian piece with a Jackson Pollock splotch of New Years Eve stomach soup all over the canvas. I retort that so did DX1 most of the time. The CS playerbase refers to our ability to parse and navigate this style of level design and eclectic color composition as the ‘CEO mindset.’

    But seriously I am a big Deus Ex enjoyer and other than Thief nothing has come as close to the full breadth of experience that world evokes in me. It is both terrible and beautiful to behold.





  • Why on this overwhelmingly zealous communist site are people upvoting this bullheaded victim blaming free hand of the market put down of consumers?

    If you were paying attention you’d know the campaign is as interested in data preservation as it is the consumer-product experience. Troves of games and the art and effort behind them are being lost in a black hole because of these DRM problems. In a chicken and egg problem of this kind of abuse having always been the norm for customers because of our antiquated copyright systems you are mad at games preservationists for being hungry.

    Moreover how did Ubisoft and these other companies who abuse these practices get those reputations? Oh yeah that’s right, by butt fucking people dry in the first place. Everyone has to have their own bad experience or read about one in the first place before they make it an axe to grind. You’ve definitely been burnt by these practices at least once and learned better right? So why should we not lobby for change?

    Like who are you Ubisoft Man?
