Some weird, German communist, hello. Obsessed with philosophy (German Idealism and its subsequent evolutions) and history (mainly everything since the French Revolution), as well as the Fediverse. Secondarily obsessed with video games as a cultural medium. Also somewhat able to program, but not that good.

  • Hab das mal sehr grob überflogen, die interessanten/relevanten Anteile beginnen ab Seite 35. In der Tat ein eher oberflächliches Verständnis von Marx u. Engels in der Begründung, wie im Artikel erwähnt wurden anscheinend “www.staatslexikon-online” [sic] und das Kommunistische Manifest herangezogen, um das relevante - die grundlegende Unvereinbarkeit von Marx und GG - zu begründen.

    Andere Sachen beim Überfliegen, wie in wie Weit sich nicht ausreichend von alten Publikationen distanziert wurde, kann ich nicht beurteilen.

    Aber das Verständnis von Marx und Engels Werken, wie hier formuliert, ist meines Erachtens tatsächlich so oberflächlich, dass es an sich nicht zu einer blanko-Einstufung der Verfassunsfeindlichkeit taugen sollte. Gerade der späte Marx und Engels haben da durchaus differenziertere Beiträge geleistet. Es wirkt auf mich so, wie die Denker und Prinzipien der Französischen Revolution als grundlegend und gänzlich unvereinbar einzustufen, mit Bezug auf einzelne von Aussagen von Robespierre und die Terrorherrschaft während der Revolution.







  • It’s somewhere between RPG and narrative/graphic adventure game. The highlights are the writing, and how the game includes reactivity to and options for player choice. Another huge strength is emulating a good DM for a TTRPG session - often failure for check rolls are rewarded in their own, sometimes very humorous way. They included hundreds of small things most players will never see, maybe one of the greatest games for multiple playthroughs ever.



  • One interesting thing is that we don’t really kow much about her. The few things we can be pretty certain of, are (Spoilers ahead):

    • We know her hedonistic escapes from a guilt complex are real, and that some forces in the MI truly want her dead - confirmed by our ESP if we do take her in. (Much to the shock of some players who had hoped to arrest her and keep her safe somehow, from the blind playthroughs I watched people play)

    • We know she really has some skillset that indicates some sort of spy work, but where does it really stem from? It could be from what she tells us, but it could also be something different, maybe something worse, maybe something more mundane.

    • We do know she has seemingly always had the problem of being fetishised by men around her, as we witness with at least Tidtus and the Deserter (EDIT: And of course Harry), and that she both inadvertantly and consciously used that to her advantage (mostly: trying to survive) if possible, while also not having a choice about it. EDIT: Her relationship with the mercenary is really interesting in that regard, she probably witnessed unwillingly bringing out the worst in men around her over and over, turning them into monsters. Then there is a monster, and in her mind, she turned him into a better version of himself, reducing hist monster-ness. Not that that is healthy, but it is a great characterisation by the writers for sure.

    But no matter what, I, personally don’t think prison (which results in her death) is something she deserves. There is a part within me, that would love to somehow keep her “safe” while also putting her into a situation where she has to reveal what is really in her past - but that part of me, I realise, is exactly the fetishising effect she has on het men in action, even as a fictional character (combined with my often aggressive curiosity).

    So, my vote is: Let her go. She might not be a great person overall, and has definitely some shit in her past, whatever it really is, but she deserves to live. If she really does deserve prison, then only, as she herself put it, in a new world, after La Retour, which would stop hunting her as prey, both literally and in the way people who are attracted to her force their fantasies on her.








  • I tried that, adding my lemmy.world account at the same time as my piefed.world account - sadly that one ended up never showing outside my original instance, and also got removed there without any visible reason. Is there a way for the admins to add it as a mod locally, after my original account is gone come this evening? It’s https://lemmy.world/u/AbnormalHumanBeing.

    If not, I guess moving the comm to a new one on piefed.world would indeed be a workaround, but I’d like to try and get it working some other way beforehand. The comm on lemmy.world isn’t closing down, and it would be a bit sad to lose the posts there, right now, it can work as a decent place to browse Top/All of the community to check for past popular PeerTube channels and videos one might otherwise not have heard of.

    I’ll try adding my two .world accounts again today, and hope it will work out this time, before closing time later tonight.
