Thanks. I appreciate you saying so.

I guess his accomplices never told him: you only get to avoid consequences if you're wealthy.

I kid, of course. I am sure he said this after leaving his 500k-1mil valued house, and driving to the court in an audi. Sorry, pal, but you might just have to give a couple things up until you tug those bootstraps a little harder. It's what you'd tell anyone else living outside of their means and committing crimes to do.

Oh no, wait, you wouldn't. You'd look for a way to tie them to a minority group and ask ICE to come pick them up. Fucking fascist.

Why let the word "rebel" sit outside of the questions marks? These people aren't rebels, and they're not presenting news. They're actively fighting to give more power to the powerful: the exceedingly wealthy, and those of European Caucasian descent. They are the establishment; the only thing they're rebelling against is the half of the establishment that's content being 3 yachts up on your average Canadian.

The irony of a .ml user calling .world a "Nazi bar" is palpable.

Some things just put a smile on one's face.

Not American, and yes to most of that.

The "both sides" argument is a dishonest one aimed at making people feel powerless. It can fuck right off.

"That person has different opinions from me, such an obvious troll!"

Fair though, I would troll the shit out of tankies at every opportunity I have the energy for. Fucking .ml.

I respect you for doing it, but the .ml at the end of their name really just means you're wasting your effort.

None the less, good on you for fighting the good fight. I'm sick and tired of people pushing powerlessness and apathy under the guise of good will.

Oh no, I angered the tankies.

Both parties suck. The world would not be experiencing economic bipolarism, and we would not be spreading memes about American born citizens rotting in prisons in El Salvador just to cope had Trump lost the election. The two parties are not the same.

No, I just misread the first time. Fair enough.

[–] Glide 1 points 2 days ago

It can be both.

There's no "sanity" system in Look Outside. The closest thing is a hidden "stress" stat which, last I checked, is literally just combat problems when it gets low.

That said, Look Outside is a fantastic game, and the Dev is super down to earth and active with his players. Highly recommend.

 

Apparently "nationalism is bad" is an uncivil take. Unless there's another reason someone would ban this comment... 🤔

 

So the situation is this: I am a junior high ELA teacher and I want to bring some videogames into the classroom. What I have to work with are the students Chromebooks. At first glance, I figured I'd throw some short, playable without install games on some flash drives and we could play through whatever game it is, and then talk about it like any other short story. Bring in the relevant terms, connect it to the course outcomes, easy. Then I began to learn the limitations of Chromebooks and how challenging it can be to run Windows .exe's on them, or find games that run natively on a Chromebook without installing.

Getting the rights to install anything on these devices is functionally out of the question. The request would have to go through the school board. Even if they agree that it's a good idea, the practicality of giving me the rights to install things without opening it up so the students can install things and without consuming an inordinate amount of class time in just setting up is unlikely. Ideally, I need games that can run on a Chromebook without running an install, or games that run in browser.

I'm googling around and considering emulator options. If anyone has experience in playing games in these circumstances, I'd love some options and insights. Additionally if people have recommendations for games that would be particularly good (narrative focused), I'd love to hear them. It's 2023; these kids don't need to learn what conflict is through short stories written by white men in the 1920s. With all the push towards student-focused learning and differentiated education, I want to start giving them choice and breadth in how they take in these concepts.

Thanks in advance for anyone who gives me their time and expertise on this.
