@waltercool Does Twitter have a way to make who you follow private? Mastodon and I assume Pleroma has that.

@djsumdog I don't have RSS because I don't use a static-site generator or a CMS so I have to update it manually. I have a twtxt which is basically a minimalist RSS/microblog feed.

I also get what your saying, but I don't know how we can have a state without some shadow government forming. A lot of monarchists argue that their system is actually superior in the long run because it's harder to corporations and other organizations to lobby them, and good values are passed from generation to generation. There is also the fact that the king/queen has to fulfill their duty because they face the threat of being overthrown and facing the guillotine if they don't or turn out to be corrupt.

But if all states are corrupt the only other option is to create new ones. Either via seasteading or claiming no-man's land like what Liberland did in the Gornja Siga, but the only other no-man's lands are Bir Tawil and a chunk of Antarctica that I forgot the name of.

@djsumdog I have. My point is that you shouldn't have faith in ANY politician something that I didn't see in the article, but something I've talked about on my own site.

@djsumdog There is no such thing as an ideal candidate. All elections are fake and rigged.

I think the entire Kanye story is interesting, and compiles some of my thoughts in my first post on battlepenguin for the new year!

@matana And PSIV is the best one. I'll keep this in mind when I create my Phantasy Star spiritual successor.

@matana Actually I've checked and PSIV makes a white, screen-close transition for random encounters like here.

I've added locked doors. Probably should create a better tile for them, but all tiles are placeholders (assuming I publish this game; this is merely me just getting used to object management in C++) as most sprites are from Zelda I and BS Zelda.

@matana PSII was slow and clunky for me. (spoiler alert, PSIII is even worse). PSIV was the smoothest and I don't remember that many flashes in that one outside of battle transitions and healing tiles.

Both PSI and PSII have remakes for the Playstation 2. Only in Japan but there are fan translations out there. A lot of people hate them though because they look like Flash or RPG Maker games.

democracy is when everyone gets to vote and if they vote for the wrong thing we just hold the election again until they vote for the right thing and if they don't vote for the right thing we just find a loophole that allows right thing to win even if it doesn't get any votes
