Sometimes, when you are coming up with scenarios for fiction, you have to think if the plot will go well in our current climate.

For example, I have a Strangereal (Ace Combat)-like fictional universe. In it, I have an idea for a 3-way war that happens in said universe. Basically, an island territory is allowed to secede from its host nation, and becomes a quasi-libertarian nation, but this creates opposition from both far-left and far-right factions. In total, there are 3 factions:

* The newly created nation
* A far-left, post-colonial anarchist liberation front comprised of some of the indigenous population along with allies.
* Some far-right, imperial Japan-like country who takes it as an opportunity to conquer the newly independent territory.

All three factions are at war with each other. In the game you are able to pick which faction you are on. The only problem is that I feel like such a scenario would be controversial. I just thought a 3-way conflict would be interesting and this is the first scenario that came to my mind.

Do you think this is fine? I have other stories for this setting, including an American-like country going to war with a country that is like a Modernized Roman Empire.

I plan of mostly talking about gamedev stuff on it though. I want a more laid-back experience.

This goes with what I said earlier, every gamedev community (outside of /agdg/ threads) is pozzed. You will be ostracized unless you fully subscribe to SJW ideology. It's why even in the indie scene, it's hard to find non-pozzed game developers. You even have to request an account (while providing links to other sites and profiles for manual approval) just to be on this instance.

Fun fact: even I don't know how to pronounce my own username, so feel free to pronounce it anyway you want.

If you ever wonder what you’re missing by being on “dark fedi”, the answer is nothing.

Well, ironically, now that I've installed the #NVIDIA version of #ZorinOS, one of my monitors doesn't work 😂

Is this a common thing in #Ubuntu based #Linux? If so, I wonder why they offer this method as an option if it just causes more problems.

@Dan_Ramos @eriner it's just a stupid posture, like when youtubers were getting videos taken down so they started putting their videos on porn tube sites for a day (I put an anti immigration video on pornhub and they took it down in minutes lol, why does it take them months to remove rape and revenge porn videos)

Why is it ok for people to listen to music and then compose something inspired by what they listen to, but it's not ok for generative ai to do this? The principles are the same

There is finally boss music. It was hard to find a good track because I don't want anything too epic as I might use that for a better game.

As of this afternoon, add @wikipedia to the list of websites that need Javascript to load stylesheets, so the page looks awful without JS enabled.

Disappointed.
