And personally- coming from a seriously fucked up family upbringing myself- not all marriages, “even with kids” (sometimes especially with kids) should exist, some are a curse on everyone involved. I’d have thought most people nowadays can understand that on some level, in such spaces in particular.

In my family’s fucked up marriages, cheating is almost always the violation that sends the whole thing spinning - no abuse needed. My parents, grandparents, aunt and uncle, in-law grandparents were all destroyed by one side choosing to cheat.

Monogamy long predates patriarchal monotheism. Jews didn’t invent marriage. And while there have always been cultures without strict monogamy, there have also always been cultures with strict monogamy - and often these can exist in the same culture. How that makes the voluntary choice to be monogamous universally bad and therefore cheating is universally good I don’t know.

They don’t have a story up on their website yet

Why not try something new and try dissolving the state and self organizing into communes that best reflect our beliefs and values?

Go ahead. If that works, I’d be delighted. Seems that all it ever ends up producing is a 15 person sex commune. When self-organizing commune lift a billion people from poverty and outmaneuver the US empire, I’ll become an anarchist.

Hopefully they all escape

Lenin is spelled the same as lesbian. Coincidence?

Will Europe finally grow a spine? If any current imperialist leadership in Europe has the gall to separate from the US, it’s France, but Macron hasn’t been much more than a vocally grumpy US lapdog.

Hell yeah Erika rules

Can/will she voice the Japanese version as well? I much preferred that in Tsushima.

The ruling class really prefers if their stooges stay within the box they set. plus, mayors go down all the time - it’s a good zero calorie snack that soothes discontent about the immunity of the political class.

This all makes me very nervous

I don’t know that’s accurate and if it is, all they’ve done is update her to look how she does in HFD, which has the lighting largely responsible for this.

The left is not how she looked in the original at all

I mean everyone understands that Japan’s dominion over those territories is relatively recent. Anything more than that, I have no idea.

I haven’t watched the trailer so I dunno, but I think Atsu is an Ainu name, so I’m optimistic for that.

Agreed all around. I think it’s a great game. I love the direction here to go different era, location, and protagonist. We’re in pre-settlement Ezo/Hokkaido, so in theory most people you’re dealing with should be non-Japanese Ainu when they were easily powerful enough to maintain rough parity with the Japanese. Settler-colonialism here wouldn’t kick off for more than 200 years. If SP delivers on this, it would be amazing.

Prepare for a barrage of horrific nazi war crimes from the atlanto-zionists and an equal magnitude of bravery, resilience, and strategic/tactical ingenuity from the resistance. The war for the Liberation of Palestine and all of West Asia is now happening. It will be a long and brutal one.

something inside me is still somehow shocked by such a level of petty murderous hatred

Those of us with love for humanity will never really be able to internalize evil

Imagine not thinking the US is going to collapse in our lifetime

there used to be a huge owl in Cuba that was like that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ornimegalonyx

It was either flightless or at least not very good at flying, comparable to a turkey. Hopefully at some secret lab in Cuba they’re working on bringing it back.
