People are too obsessed with Nazi Germany as their fascism template. Well, this is US Federal fascism in 2026. Yesterday's Livestream execution Pay Per View edition is U.S. fascism 2026 style. We're here now. We have to internalize this.

One of the most disconcerting moments of living in this timeline of the world in the U.S. is that A LOT of people in this country keep acting like there's a special line that needs to be crossed for fascism to *arrive.* The reality is that we are CURRENTLY living under Federal fascism. NOW.

this reminds me of one of my favorite posts about Gundam ever.

classic gundams will have the most devastatingly poignant depiction of a woman you've ever seen in your life and then she'll turn awkwardly to the audience and say something like "maybe it really is a woman's
fate.. to be shopping.."

it immediately killed any major reach i had on the site, lost me many mutuals, and actually led to a small group of people thinking i was some legit evil figure. all because i made fun of a nerd who was being a little bit misogyinistic iirc and he told everyone i was a nazi. make ur own blocklist

i don't trust blocklists full of Undesirables that anyone can subscribe to. not a bad idea on paper but i was put on Wil Wheaton's Twitter blocklist he advertised as having all the site's Nazis—i told him "Shut up, Wesley" exactly 1 time. his blocklist was Nazis & queer people who make fun of him

chat is this good

A customer just tried to use an employee discount code that ChatGPT gave her. I work at a high-end clothing store and clocked in to my manager telling me about the most unhinged interaction from yesterday. A woman walked in asking if she could use a 40% off code she got online. We don't have any sales running, so my manager looks at the screen and realizes ChatGPT straight up handed this woman a real employee's internal ID number.

Either Americans, yes you Americans, regulate corporate social media out of existence or the possibility of any kind of democracy existing anywhere will constantly be under threat and the only viable non-fascist governance will be the Chinese model.

What's going to really annoy me are going to be Americans ignorantly trying to map their ideas about "thermostatic opinion" or whatever to Brazil, ignoring that toxic US-backed fascists own 90% of media in the country and poured dark money into this election.

Hey you know how when Tucker Carlson or Nick Fuentes toss out some nominally left wing position, and everyone immediately recognizes it as an attempt to rehabilitate their image and infiltrate new audiences? Maybe stop praising the Pope just because he hates AI, like everyone else does.

It's fine. You didn't miss all that much. It does a lot of individual things that are mechanically fun but as a cohesive whole, it's a pretty whatever game.

I currently play Dragon Ball FW. Used to do Wixoss, Yugioh, Buddyfight, some Weiss. Also played a few non-TCG games like Exceed, Yomi, and Gun & Gun. Strategy discussions are common in TCGs. It's the competitive genre. The only games where it doesn't happen are the ones that like nobody plays.

A lot of the early cards that randomly have Japanese names actually originally had English names in the Japanese version. I guess they didn't want to have cards that are just named like "Critter" or "Cyclops" for the English release.

related to the game they're looking into and just do a general vibe check (esp common with LGBT people). People on multi-TCG servers will ask around those too. Like in those circles, SWU along with FAB and Sorcery have a reputation for being astroturfed/aggressively recommended by stonks types.

Competitive PTCG is popping off now though. Plenty of people at my LGSs playing it regularly and taking it seriously. At least among the wider TCG community, it has a reputation for being really cheap to get into. As for gauging community, something that I've seen people do is join discord servers

Actually, I think at the time, one of my friends was getting into Pokemon, and according to him the competitive scene was kinda non-existent because all the high-level players paywalled their info instead of sharing it freely like other games. Maybe avoid games where that's the norm.

friends in college that were really into Magic and would prepare for GPs and were constantly discussing gameplay scenarios/puzzles and deckbuilds. We were part of a wider group on campus that played various TCGs like YGO and CFV. We even had competitive Weiss players which were rare at the time.

I suspect it's a culture thing. SWU and SWD have a good bit of overlap with the hobby board gaming community, which of all the gaming communities I've seen has been the most resistant to competitive/strategy discussion. Magic, I'm pretty sure has various pockets, like EDH players. Had a bunch of

I've been doing collage-y stuff for a game I'm working on and have been considering using old magazines and photobooks (and even went out of my way to acquire some) to add to the game but I've been kinda hesitant because of the potential legal issues with doing that.

wi(l)d-screen franken @drunkcrunkfranken.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

What games have you had this problem with? Like I don't think I've played a TCG where it wasn't normal for people to just do match post-mortems and talk about what mistakes the loser made and going through alternative move, and even go through players' decks and see what could be changed etc.

wi(l)d-screen franken @drunkcrunkfranken.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

If anything, the games that I played had the opposite problem, where the average sweatlord level of the game is dialed up slightly too high and making it weirdly hypercompetitive in a way that alienates new players.

wi(l)d-screen franken @drunkcrunkfranken.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

I've never had these issues with any of the TCGs I've played. The only TCG I've heard of that even had paywalled content was Pokemon TCG back in the 2010s. It might just be the culture of whatever game you're playing now.

Friendly reminder that Duolingo was initially concieved to trick people into translating articles for free, which they later used as training data for MTL algorithms. Duolingo's primary purpose has NEVER been about teaching you a language, even from the start! slate.com/technology/2...

If it doesn’t charge users and, so far, doesn’t serve them any ads, how does Duolingo make money? It tricks you into working as an unpaid translation service. At the end of some lessons, Duolingo will ask you if you want to practice by translating a real-world document. Which will turn out to be, say, a BuzzFeed article. By melding together enough stabs at this task from high-level Duolingo users, the app can render a surprisingly accurate translation. Which is worth good money. So far, Duolingo has contracts with BuzzFeed and CNN to translate stories from English into languages such as Spanish, French, and Portuguese. This service is already earning Duolingo hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, but von Ahn predicts he will be adding a raft of new clients soon. “The language translations market is huge,” he says. “It’s a $30 billion per year market.”
