The point I’m trying to drive home, is that draw things the way that best suits you. How-to-books had me all mixed up in my teen years, but then I decided to break the rules and do things my way.
Just as the emergence of private property became society’s “original sin” in Marxian orthodoxy, so the emergence of the State became society’s “original sin” in anarchist orthodoxy. Even the early counterculture of the sixties eschewed the use of the term hierarchy and preferred to “Question Authority” without exploring the genesis of authority, its relationship to nature, and its meaning for the creation of a new society.
During these years I also concentrated on how a truly free society, based on ecological principles, could mediate humanity’s relationship with nature. As a result, I began to explore the development of a new technology scaled to comprehensible human dimensions.
Such a technology would include small solar and wind installations, organic gardens, and the use of local “natural resources” worked by decentralized communities. This view quickly gave rise to another–the need for direct democracy, for urban decentralization, for a high measure of self-sufficiency, for self-empowerment based on communal forms of social life–in short, the nonauthoritarian Commune composed of communes.
it’s the second of halloween and darkest dungeon is 70% off on steam, so this is where i come out of my well to shame mankind to tell you to play it
it’s really not as hard as people make it out to be if you play on radiant mode and keep a guide on hand. at that point it becomes more of a game of chess with the AI, rather than screaming in angst as your whole party dies
on the other hand, if you’re a difficulty junkie, you can always find creative new ways to punish yourself
the aesthetic is moody and unique
it has a huge roster of heroes with cool designs
by which i mean ‘a lot of tough women and gravelly men’
seriously. so many gravelly men
the story is substantial enough that you know what’s going on, but open-ended enough that you can let your imagination run wild
there’s a lot of great fanwork. coincidence? i think not
it was made by a small studio and they deserve support
as hard as the story pushes that it’s about PLAGUE AND TENTACLE HORROR AND DEATH, it feels more like it’s about hope, especially when you do well. no matter how badly a mission goes, you can always try again
FFIX doodle dump, cause I’ve been replaying the game lately and I decided to finish a bunch of old sketches (the first one has been in my draft since last october, lol)
