I think 2 things are true here:

  1. The government and billionaire media are really nipping at her heels, trying to turn anything related to her into a scandal. See the recent "drug scandal" which turned out to be a nothingburger (she was carrying CBD).

  2. She has tankie-adjacent views, and quoting a guy who did a mass shooting in a civilian airport is in really poor taste. I can't defend it, "terrorism apologia" seems accurate here.

Your mileage may vary. I find the writing crude but I still enjoy the books as light reading.

My main (but not only) beef is that the narration of the dungeon (the "ai") talks like a 16yo boy. Lots of swearing, sexual allusions, whores and bitches, etc. Then the main character rolls his eyes or makes a comment to show disapproval. But it's still in the book, constantly, so you're supposed to find it funny.

No plot holes as far as I can tell, though.

Personally I like metroidvanias for the exploration. If a game tells me where to go (e.g. Metroid Prime 4) it feels like the game is playing for me, robbing me of the fun.

You might like platformers more than metroidvanias specifically?

I was banned from reddit for talking about politics (I am anti trump) on the air force reddit so I wasn't even able to comment on a post about me.

I know this is Lemmy and Reddit is bad etc., but FYI when you get banned from one subreddit by its mods, it doesn't ban you from the entirety of Reddit. You could comment if you wanted.

I think I'm like a 3 or 4.

I remember some years back there was a "test" going around the internet where you were supposed to picture an apple moving off a table in your head, and then it would ask you "ok what did the person pushing the apple look like, what color were their clothes, etc." and I thought "oh shit do I have aphantasia?"

Later I realized that couldn't be entirely true since I do picture characters in books, although I always picture them as an actor or another character from a comic/show/movie, never as an original face.

If that was his 5D chess masterplan, why is he currently in panic mode, calling the coalition "unnatural", painting it far-left, and calling for a fight against "all extremes"?

Likelier he expected the RN to take it, after which they would have 3 years to show their colors, making them less likely to win the 2027 presidential elections. It was a stupid risky move.

Looks like they're the opposite actually, tankies. Still good riddance.

From their news post about federation:

  • One of the few instances they'll federate with is lemmygrad
  • "We do not, as a site, have an official line regarding Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and a wide variety of viewpoints are represented in discussions. This includes many users with varying degrees of support for Russia, which some people may find confusing or objectionable."
  • Highly upvoted comments reacting negatively to the text above because it's not pro-Russia enough. ("Putin is not a fundamentally evil person", "it is a decade of diplomatic failure, with Russia trying to do the right thing and getting blamed for it.")
  • "Do not follow the Chapo Rules of Posting, instead try to engage utilizing informed rhetoric with sources to dismantle western propaganda. Posting the western atrocity propaganda and pig poop balls is hilarious but will pretty quickly get you banned and if enough of us do it defederated. Realize that you are a representative of the hexbear instance when you post on other instances."
