@Moon Corporations get their power from the state. Real capitalism is small businesses and entrepreneurs.

@vandys @Effortless@noagendasocial.com It all goes back to the sinking of the Titanic.

@beardalaxy @xianc78 simply being true to reality -- not the perverted, artificial world we live in now, but how things were throughout most of the history of humanity -- combats woke shit all on its own

@beardalaxy I'm more surprise that there is even a FFXVI in the works. I thought FFXV flopped so hard that it killed the franchise. I never got into the Final Fantasy series or anything related to Square Enix, so I'm mostly out of the loop on that one. I really do hate that even the Japanese game studios are becoming woke now.

The all white cast reminds me of this Fallout 4 mod that I've heard about which replaces all the non-white characters with white ones. The creator's justification was that there probably wouldn't have been a civil rights movement in the Fallout timeline, so Boston would probably be majority white, even more so after the nuclear war. Though to me, there is nothing that says that there wouldn't have been a civil rights movement in the Fallout timeline, but whatever.

However, that's another problem I have which is that people are combating wokeness with mods which I feel is a band-aid solution. Unless you pirate the game, you are still giving money to the game's creators and a mod just changes the experience to those who have that mod installed.

But what I was talking about earlier about focusing on getting stuff done as opposed to obsessing over current events, I think it's part of the issue with YandereDev. I don't know the full story. I watched some documentary about him a while back and forgot a lot of it. He probably spent more time obsessing over the drama regarding his game compared to actually working on it. I don't know how much was related to identity politics but he always asserted his promise of being an "anti-sjw gamedev" while not getting the game done.

@xianc78 @beardalaxy That, and being bad at promoting their own side. Just look at how mainstream right publications refuse to give airtime to independent creators unless you hand them cash or end up already successful.

At least in literature, there's no shortage of good "non-woke" authors- they're just hamstrung by having to rely on eceleb cred or word of mouth,

@xianc78 oh yeah that's a definite.

I don't speak for everyone, but I think the majority of people complaining about woke shit in games don't really want games that combat the woke shit, they want games that just don't have the woke shit in it.

Based devs helps too, though, when stacked on a game that's just a game. Take the recent interview with FFXVI's director or whatever, talking about how the are pretty much going to only be white people in the game because it is representative of the region the game takes place in. That's an answer that infuriates the people who would be asking that question, but we like to hear that because it means the focus isn't on pandering, it's about the actual game.

Maybe that's a bad example because the current state of Square Enix dictates there will probably be something woke in the game anyway, but you get what I'm going for I'm sure.

@ArdainianRight @Godcast I've only seen a BlackRock house once. Not many people rent out houses where I live. I even see a few houses that are for sale by owner.

As for farmland, people need to learn permaculture. A backyard sized garden can feed a neighborhood.

@beardalaxy I was actually talking about people obsessing over current events instead of making their game. I probably could've gotten a lot more done I wasn't obsessing over it non-stop back in 2016-2019. I feel like it's the same way with other developers.

But yeah. Shock value games are only fun for like 10 minutes.

@ArdainianRight @Godcast Seasteading!

- OceanBuilders is making them cheaper than terrestrial homes
- No zoning laws (which creates housing monopolies)
- No property taxes
- 2/3 of the Earth's surface to settle

@beardalaxy I'm not doing it anytime soon. I got too much going on. I agree we should be focusing on games more than anything else. I feel like the "anti-sjw" gamedev community focuses more time on obsessing over how SJWs ruin everything than actually making good games. I'm kind of guilty of that as well.
