Thank you! Renzo Novatore seems to be a fascinating person, I’m particularly excited to read his work! Everything else you recommended also looks very exciting, I don’t think there’s a single thing that I’m not looking forward to reading!
Thank you! All of these look like great resources! I’ve actually watched Andrewism before, his video on digital colonialism was great imho!
youtube is plagued with these bots that either copy someone else’s comment (normally positive of the video creator in order to avoid being auto deleted) or use some chatbot to come up with phrases, the picture is always some attractive woman or sometimes just straight up images from porn, when you click on the profile the banner image or profile links will contain a link to either a scam site or an onlyfans page. They generally also bot upvotes on their comments in order to get better visibility
That certainly seems to be the way disney is going, I’m just so perplexed by them having Scorch be a reoccurring background character in the bad batch if they aren’t going to do something with him.
Personally, I’d say yes, it hasn’t aged well on PC (your cursor will move at Mach 2 in menus even on the lowest possible sensitivity for example) and the graphics could certainly use an update, but the squad combat & banter still feels great. The game also does a great job of feeling like it fits into the universe, it came out about 3 months before Revenge of the Sith, and includes tons of references and hints to its plot that feel like something an actual in universe clone would see.
I will warn you however, if you end up playing it, the game is very hard at points, and the AI can be pretty stupid at times.
Yeah but its great! Best book game ive ever read!
Hi, I realize that its been almost 2 weeks, and I’m sorry for necroing this thread, but I just have to thank you again for the recommendation, Renzo Novatore writes like a poet. It is so incredibly validating to see someone who is clearly well educated advocating for many of my own beliefs in well written prose even a hundred years ago, its like, if this idea can occur to this clearly smart person even ages ago and in an entirely different country, surely I’m not so crazy for feeling that way.
I especially love how he defines a person as neither being social or anti-social by nature!
Thank you!
