Yessongs is so freaking good. Great on vinyl and pretty easy to find too!
I find this edit even more upsetting. Right wingers love to post the dumbest shit with this emoji as if being arrogantly stupid somehow makes you less wrong.
Hmm, TM doesn't have the prosthetic arm yet. I wonder if the intended use for this armor doesn't result in some unexpected costs...
The Tales series: Tales of Arise, Tales of Symphonia, Tales of Zestiria, et al.
And the Mana series: Legend of Mana, Vison of Mana, Secret of Mana, et al.
100/100. I haven't played all of them a ton, like I played Saga Frontier on emulation for a few hours when I was backlogging the PS1 RPGs. I actually finish very few games, especially since most AAA stuff either ends the main plot 20% in or else the final third of the game is bloated with collectathons and BS to drag out the runtime a little longer. I like to try new things though, so I experiment a lot.
"Tracker music" is a similar sort of genre. Back before DAWs, folks used trackers to make midi tunes. I looooove me some tracker tunes!
This was also my understanding and I begrudgingly agree with NDT that borders and states and tribalism are bad. I don't agree with complaining about lines. Damn dude, sucks to have to be a regular participant in society, maybe of bureaucrats got paid better or there were more people working the passport desk.
Or.... and i know this is fucking wild, he made up that story because in the US you get passports in the mail. Yeah, you have to maybe wait in a short line for some steps but overall you just send in your info and wait 6 weeks.
Eh, that's one view. In The Dawn of Everything, Graeber and Wengrow propose that the State arises from the intersection of three forms of social power. These are sovereignty (control of violence), bureaucracy (control of information), and politics (control through charisma and culture). Historicaly each of these has existed as the basis for societies alone and in combination without the concept of a state.
The State is a meme, a technology like religion or money, which provides a framework for the distribution and application of those 3 forms of power. It isn't the only possible framework for that, but it's outwardly destructive nature and self-propogation have ensured that the modern world is structured around a narrow set of configurations of the State.
It's not some big gotcha: it's unethical because consent is impossible to achieve. You have to have been alive for quite a number of years before you even have the cognition and experience to form an opinion about existing.
But that doesn't just mean creating new beings is good because it's impossible to consent. How would that apply to anything else?? By some logic (if you ignore obvious pain signals) animals can't "tell" us they don't consent to being butchered and eaten but that doesn't make eating meat ethical either (I'm not vegan btw.) Having sex with an unconscious person is rape, because they can't consent.
There may be suicidal animals who want to be eaten and there are certainly people who enjoy non-consensual sex and people who like being alive and believe their existence is a gift. The outcome still doesn't excuse the act in these cases.
In all seriousness, visit your local library and ask them about it. Most library systems work with local authors to promote their work and regularly hold meetups and workshops for writers. Many cities have local zines, publishers, and anthologies. By getting to know your local writing scene, you can find opportunities to do readings of your work, have works published in collections, and so on.

Is there an ARPG that doesn't have some former D1 or D2 staff member on it? I'm sure the old janitors from Blizz North had to end up somewhere too.
