@moffintosh @LukeAlmighty Did you at least look into other economic systems like Distributism, Georgism, Mutualism, or Market Socialism before jumping on the commie-bandwagon?

@ArdainianRight @moffintosh @ChristiJunior @LukeAlmighty @DocScranton Using Tor while using Windows is like using a condom when you already have AIDS. Switch to Linux already!

@lanodan Even better, store a 3D object of a cassette on a cassette. Then broadcast said cassette on the radio.

I almost feel bad for people living in "smart" homes while the wireless emergency alert test is going on... imagine taking a massive dump and not being able to flush the toilet because it's too busy blurting out "THIS IS ONLY A TEST. DO NOT PANIC, THIS IS ONLY A TEST" and you have to wait until it finally shuts the fuck up before it lets you even remotely attempt to jiggle the handle.

@PurpCat Most Neocities sites barely have any content. Just some page listing their interests and contact info.

@beardalaxy How about name it after something nocturnal? Maybe "Silicon Cricket" or something like that.

@beardalaxy And it turns out that "Divided by Zero Productions" is in fact already been taken by some guitar YouTuber. Granted, he hasn't uploaded in over two years, but still.

>Add some SAT/ACT adjective to some noun

I don't know what SAT/ACT is supposed to mean here.

>If that doesn't work, there's always the avatar name. I doubt anybody's trademarked "XIANC Productions" yet.

Even I don't know how to pronounce my username. I don't think it's a good idea to use a name that I can't pronounce for my studio. And Xianc Productions sounds like a name for some Chinese Famicom bootleg company.

Personally, I thought about taking inspiration from old Japanese game studios and how they name their companies. There is combining the first few letters of two words like "Sega" being "Service" + "Game". Or just taking a word and adding "com" to the end like "Falcom" being named after the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars and the "com" part because a lot of computer companies did that back then.

@beardalaxy "After Midnight" seems way too generic. It's probably already taken given how many developers work late into the night. The name kind of reminds me of "Insomniac Games".

I've also been coming up with names for a one-man studio, but I feel like whatever I come up with is already taken. I thought of "Divided by 0 Productions" but I feel like that is already taken and I'm too lazy to check.

i've been thinking about maybe changing the name of my "game studio" before the beta of my game is ready. at that point it will be solidified permanently, basically, and i'm not so sure i like the name of Useless Torch.

i think part of it is because Useless Torch was supposed to be a combination of all my friends getting together and working on stuff, but since its inception everyone has gone seperate ways and i can't see them really working for/with me in the future. so i kind of want to move away from that name and have something that refers to just me working alone with freelancers to fill in the gaps.

i've been thinking about using the name "After Midnight" recently. have a sort of logo design in mind for it too. if there is any time i'm going to change my studio name it'll be now, because i don't want people to get confused if i change it after it has been proliferated more.

what do you guys think?

@lina Well, /leftypol/ has both the LibLeft and AuthLeft, so I say that the infighting is worse than /pol/. You also have arguments between Christian Socialists vs socialists who want to abolish religion, Market Socialists vs communists, etc.

I think the troonsocs are either just trolls or attention whores. I don't think I ever saw a tranny who unironically believed in that shit. Granted, I thought the whole tranny ancom thing was just a LARP meant to fuck with conservatives, but it looks like a lot of them actually believe in that shit.

The ironic thing is that /leftypol/ was meant for leftists who want to get away from the idpol obsession that is commonly associated with the modern left, but somehow tranny threads still make their way.

@lina /leftypol/ is worse. You get threads from conservative socialists wanting to disassociate leftism with trannies and idpol, then trannycoms show up and start sperging.

God, I am fucking sick of this shitty Raspberry Pi setup. It's slow as fuck. The software support is shit. I'm having weird graphical issues when connecting this to an HDMI monitor (screen occasionally goes black for a few seconds and green pixels clutter the screen). The headphone jack doesn't work so I have no sound. And for whatever reason, Raspberry Pi won't run scripts on a NTFS formatted flash drive even with the correct permissions.
