as it should be, nobody likes proprietary vendor-locked formats that get shoved down your throat

(sry I accidentally deleted the old pinned post)

just use Soulseek (through Nicotine+) and Torrents (through a free/libre client of your choice) and if you like some smaller artist buy their stuff on Bandcamp or even better Mirlo

exactly

it is the ironic subversion

hmm :/

was able to get this in the web client

mb additionally putting it in the post body would be a good idea for future posts?

smth smth about the unity of the cockroach and the chicken happening in the belly of the chicken smth smth

relevant quote

The revolutionary struggle is the very antithesis of the parliamentary struggle. In Germany, for four decades we had nothing but parliamentary “victories.” We practically walked from victory to victory. And when faced with the great historical test of August 4, 1914, the result was the devastating political and moral defeat, an outrageous debacle and rot without parallel. To date, revolutions have given us nothing but defeats. Yet these unavoidable defeats pile up guarantee upon guarantee of the future final victory.

uuu you are in for an adventure with so much replayability

and as some other comment said: even “failed” checks lead to interesting outcomes

Ganz schönes plakatives Beispiel dafür, dass die Errungenschaften der Gewerkschaften nur (temporäre) Zugeständnisse der Reichen sind, die jederzeit widerrufen werden können…

just FYI: you can finish the game without ever as much as looking at the body, there even is an achievement for it!

Das einzige was ich dabei fühle ist ein Schlaganfall wegen des schänderlichen Missbrauchs der kyrillischen Schrift

understandable, have a nice day

The imaginary numbers demand sacrifice

def Disco Elysium

heed this warning though: after Disco, there is no going back; most storytelling might seem subpar or just of low quality afterwards

it’s also soul crushing, existentialist and doesn’t shy away from critiquing/ridiculing society and what it believes in (from a Marxist pov, though Communism itself isn’t spaired either in the game, with a harsh critique only communists could write), but it’s also one of the most hopeful games I’ve ever played at the same time

I would rly recommend a blind play through without cheating through quick saves! (aka. save scumming) A lot of decisions in the game succeed based on the probability of your stats accomplishing it. I made the mistake in my first play through and just forced everything I wanted by reloading over and over again -_-

Thus far I have only (extensively) listened to lib podcasts like the “The History of Rome” and “Revolutions” (only the October revolution part ie. the last ‘season’) by Mike Duncan and just recently started listening to “The History of Byzantium”

Since most of the major English ones which I have saved in Antennapod (can rly recommend this free/libre podcast app) were already mentioned, I thought I’d recommend smth different; a leftist mental health podcast:

It’s Not Just In Your Head

The description:

Two mental health professionals explore how our capitalist economic system impacts our emotional lives. From precarious housing and employment, to unaffordable healthcare, to endless debt – it’s not just in your head!

I haven’t given it a listen yet, but have heard good things about it
