Yeah… “Read the communist literature” is like their mantra but it must be like the bible for most Christians because it’s really not reflected in their actions.

Are you the personification of “every accusation is a confession” or what? Seriously, insisting you’re right and just throwing insults without any actual arguments does not make you right. The only thing you can argue is that in my first comment I said “russia has always been imperialist”. That can be taken as racist if you ignore the fact that it’s obviously talking about the culture and not the race and also the fact that a country is not a race… and also if it weren’t true.

I literally said in my original comment that blaming it all on putin is silly and have made no comments about race. So yeah, nothing more for me to respond to. You continue to insult without actually saying anything of substance. You’re literally just going like “NO U!!” and pretending like you’re having and argument and winning. Classic ;)

Right, so do the exact same spiel for all the other powers and I’ll agree with you. Because yes, they’re all doing it. But that includes your precious russia and china. I’m sorry…Never said russia’s the only bad guy out there…And most people around here will also agree…but when it comes to russia and china there’s suddenly a bunch of “but what about!” And “LUL libtard!”…

Do you seriously not see the hypocrisy? But yeah, go on, keep insulting me while explaining the continuous imperialistic aggression. Everyone’s hysterical except russia. They’re bombing for freedom, they’re special…NATO made them!!! I’m the chauvinist for hating all imperialists whereas you only hate the western variety. Maybe read the definition of the words your using before going out and using them against people.

I mean, those are all countries from which they have stolen land in the last 30 years. Add to that the proven interference in Moldavian, Romanian, American and French politics and probably others that I don’t know about. Kazahstan, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Japan have land disputes with them… yes, discount all of that by calling me a racist. xD

You’re exactly right! Blaming this all on putin is silly. Everyone with a bit of history knowledge knows that Russia’s always been an imperialist country. Before the invasion of Ukraine there was the annexation of Crimea. Before that it was Georgia, Moldova, Chechnya, all the neocolonialism in Africa. Before that…well…you don’t become the largest country in the world by sitting on your ass… they’ve been doing this constantly since the 16th century or so.

I’m on season 2 of re:zero right now and I’m enjoying it.

Spirit as in alcohol, I think.

I’m lucky to live in France so there’s plenty of affordable and good local wine but I’ll definitely keep an eye on the import section for that one. Heard good things about Californian wines. So I was already curious but never actually tried any.

Depends on the wine. I wanted to see for myself so I bought 2 bottles from the same producer. Same type of wine and stuff as well. One bottle was 25-ish€ and the other was 80-ish. I could instantly tell which the more expensive wine was. Then I asked my wife to taste without telling her which is which. She could also instantly tell. Was it worth the price? Fuck no. I usually buy in the 10-15 range from a guy that I trust since supermarket stuff is hit and miss and I like trying new ones, not just buying the same one every time.

Darn, this place is nice as heck!

But there’s so many examples out there of people that don’t try very hard and are still very good at stuff while others work twice as hard and can’t surpass them. What do you call that if not talent?

No man’s sky had a bit over 200k peak online players on release in 2016. Over 100k peak for the anniversary release in 2025 and constantly gets 10k players even now.

Cyberpunk got 274k peak online players for the release of 2.0 3 years after the original release and 60k daily players even now.

Those are great numbers for single player games so I don’t know what you’re on about.

Nope. For metal the suggestions are like you said. Either generic or limited. I usually just look up “more bands like x” and use the results. Usually a mix of last.fm + reddit + other sites. Another thing I’d do is use rateyourmusic and browse by genre. For Symphonic metal, for example. Sometimes there’s genre specific sites. Like the progarchives where I go as well from time to time. Oh, many subreddits also have discord servers so maybe look into that as well.

I’m reading this in 2027!
