Christmas has long since become an over-consumered festival if I can say so. Essentially it has become a way for the big marketing companies to make their marketing companies bigger and bigger
Does big companies hurt you?

The advanced species have a habbit of enslaving and using lower species for their benefit.
I dont even need to say that the existence of advanced aliens would be almost as bad for us as the existence of Christian God.
They would most likely have no respect for boundaries.

The remake of Fable 1:
I know that better graphics are usually much good, but Fable the Anniversary could have added a bit more to the game than simply graphics.

So I played Fable again. This time as an evil character. I have to say evil characters are surprisingly strange. They have 3 powers that only they can master.
Berserker, drain life and something like mind control that turns enemies to allies.
I have to say berserker is really fun to play. It makes you really big and strong. It makes you unkillable, but your health can decrease to very low. The weakness is that at the end, you turn back to normal which makes you unable to move for a second, then you can cast again. Drain life doesnt seem to work on some enemies, and neither does mind control.
I completed the game as evil character and I have to say that evil character's powers dont feel as strong as they should be. Like, even berserker can be knocked down making you unable to fight.
I am saying this because before this I played many times as neutral character. With battle charge, which is a neutral power, you can pretty much beat any other power. By spamming battle charge, you basically become immune to all damage while knocking down your opponent constantly making him unable to fight.
This works as long as you have mana, but thanks to potions you basically have all mana you need.
Now, combining battle charge and berserker seems kinda unnecessary, unless you are fighting an enemy who has battle charge.
To me, it seems kinda strange that evil character didnt get more powers. The game is after all based on good and evil.
I started again as good character. Good character has shield, heal and summon.
So I picked the shield and it seems that it just turns your mana into health. It makes you very strong, you cant be knocked down, but I cant say I am too impressed.
Compared to neutral powers like Slow time, battle charge, force push, it seems kinda unfair.
Maybe Summon can make up for good character, but still I am not a fan of summoning spells in Fable because usually things you summon fight very slowly.
I feel like neither good nor evil character are perfect. It seems that neutral character beats both. Of course, in game, enemies arent exactly strong so it is possible to beat the game in many ways.
How does this game, Fable 1, compare to Fable 3? Simple. In Fable 3, all spells suck. You only have couple of spells, but nothing even close to spells like berserker and battle charge. There is no any joy in being mage in Fable 3.
I kmow that they wanted to invent something new, but Fable 3 made everything complicated. They focused on story too much and ruined combat experience.
The point of Fable 1 was to make you feel powerful and praised. In Fable 3, you are praised, but you dont feel powerful. There is nothing grand about you.

"According to European Environment Agency (EEA) early estimates, 22.5% of energy consumed in the EU in 2022 generated from renewable sources."
So the organization most dedicated to renewable energy couldnt get it right.
With only 22% of their energy being renewable, they have not only completely failed, but they are showing that even trying your best wont stop global warming. And they are the best!
Now, why cant we have renewable energy?
First, the problem is electricity.
The world runs on electricity.
However, there is no cheap way to produce electricity for 8 billion people plus countless factories.
The second problem is cars. Cars pollute the environment and cause global warming.
However, electric cars use lots of electricity, making it impossible to have lots of electric cars.
In other words, electricity is the problem.
World became so dependent on electricity that,
instead of abandoning it, which would almost immediatelly solve global warming,
They keep producing it.
However, electricity simply cannot be produced in any sustainable way.
Solar panels produce too little. Wind power produces too little.
So yeah, the problem at hand is with electricity itself.
Can humanity simply go back to era with no electricity?
Well, no. Thats why its called the point of no return. Once you discover it, you become dependent on it, and cannot survive without it.
This is what Marx describes as "negation". It is where one new thing negates the thing before it so the thing before it can no longer exist.
However, the bad news is that there is also "negation of negation".
It is the point of development where you can neither go back to how things were, nor you can keep things as they are right now.
And that point of development requires a 2nd negation. If that negation cannot be found, system collapses.
Marx was a fun guy.

He suggested the breakdown of social organizations and norms (standards) makes it harder for individuals to find the pursuit of anything meaningful.
You mean the empty life of going to work and after work just doing resting and empty consumerism isnt meaningful?
But thats what you guys wanted. You wanted to have lots of stuff, but you have to work so much for them that you no longer enjoy them.
Masses ruin everything they touch, really, including themselves.
This is why Socialism can only work as a dictatorship. Socialism cannot be run by the people, as people are pure idiots.
Just look at the internet, place of education, but people turned it into place of verbal abuse and watching irrelevant videos that teach you nothing.
There needs to be someone smart and skilled to run Socialism in USA.

@hey-yo
Yes, although Vampire the Masquerade isnt a hard game to beat. In fact, due to some overpowered abilities that you have and other vampires in the game dont have, the game becomes too easy once you figure out the point system and powers.
I guess its one thing when its human vs zombies,
The other when you are a vampire fighting vampires.
Zombies may be brain dead, but zombie games usually make them either really strong either so high in number.
Well, there are zombies in Vampire the masquerade too, but they are not really strong enemies. Like, they are more annoying than scary, since they barely do any damage, and arent fun to fight because they just slow you down.

"If unification is achieved,
houses will be built for those who are homeless,
jobs will be provided for those without jobs,
12 years of education equivalent to a high school in the South will be provided free of charge,
smart people will be allowed to study at university for free,
and sick people will be given free access to college.
Treatment is provided for free, no taxes are paid , many women can live happily without having to sell their sacred bodies,
everyone is guaranteed the safety of their lives,
and as long as they do not indulge in debauchery,
no one is in debt and can live well.
There is no need to search for a rented room,
a rented room, or a rented house because there is no house to live in.
Even if you want to work, you do not have to spend your days in despair because you do not have a job .
Parents do not have to worry about tuition and fees, or have their backs bent from labor risking their lives, and their heads are saved.
Even if there is an emergency, there will be no need to get an education because of lack of money,
sick people will not have to die without receiving treatment due to lack of money or property ,
there will be no need to worry about the tax bomb twelve months a year, and many women will live well even if they do not sell their sacred bodies. Many people will not commit suicide because they have no way to survive and survive, and if they do not indulge in debauchery, they will not have to live in debt.
The people in the North have already united and are moving forward for unification , so now , fellow people in the South, let us all unite together and move forward for unification . Even if we want to achieve unification, let us not say that it is difficult to achieve unification because of foreign powers and traitors. Let us not doubt, “Even if we want to achieve unification, is there no way to achieve unification?”
If all of our people from North and South Korea come together, that will become the greatest force for unification."

In South Korea, it is illegal to praise North Korea.
"Lee Yoon-seop advocated for unification in his piece that was published in the North's state media in 2016, South Korean media report.
He wrote that if the two Koreas were united under Pyongyang's socialist system, people would get free housing, healthcare and education.
He was convicted under a law that prohibits public praise of North Korea."
"In the piece titled Means of Unification, Lee also argued that in a united Korea, fewer people will take their own lives or live in debt.
The poem was one of the winners of a poetry contest in the North in November 2016."

I am mostly into games like Smite, Dishonored, Fable, Vampire the masquerade (it has both PC version as a game, and the version played with pen and paper), puzzle games on phone.
I played many games, but the games I enjoy are usually fighting games that have some sort of powers.
I hate games that make you look weak. I also hate repetitive games. I also hate games that have mostly useless powers/weapons that have no use in playing the game.
I like games that make you feel powerful.
Zombie games arent exactly my thing, but I did play some before. Dead effect comes to mind.
Table top games, text based games and such, I dont play. Well, I did play some based on Vampire the Masquerade, but it was a short story.

I would say that his political ideology was government totalitarianism while putting effort to win popular support.
Hitler wanted for masses to support his decisions.
He spent lots of money on propaganda and did lots of speeches himself just to brainwash masses.
While he did have unlimited power on paper, he didnt rely on that alone to rule. He did everything to win support not just from military, but from majority in society.
He took over all media, and even had a propaganda minister.
Its kinda like in North Korea today.
When it comes to religion, its really hard to tell if Hitler was religious, or just pretended to be religious. This is the guy who would pretend to be anything just to win popular support.

Its all about trading, really.
Good for good, bad for bad.
Trading good for bad is usually the wrong path. If someone is bad to you, being good to him wont change who he is, but it might make him encouraged to continue being bad since he detected a path of least resistance.
Trading bad for good is also wrong, but for other reasons.

Also does almost everything against God enslaves you, because religion has structure, and worldly things doesn't.
What does structure have to do with something being slavery? Usually, its the slavery systems that have the structure.
Even Christian God is modeled after slavery, where he rules with cruelty and punishes anyone who disobeys his strict rules, and expects his followers to praise him for his cruelty and celebrate the eternal torture of others. Same model as government uses, is used by Christian God.
For example:PornAlcoholDrugsPrideSelfishnessMoneyetc.
Porn enslaves you? Are you saying that someone forces you watch porn when in fact you dont want to?
This is a typical nonsense,
where you think that Christianity is not slavery when its only purpose is to make you obedient to the government.
But porn is slavery, because you lie to yourself that you dont want it while fapping aggressively to that trans porn.
Anyway, even if porn did somehow enslave you, I am afraid it doesnt make Christianity anything less than religion of slaves.
Contrary to the popular belief, blaming others of something you are guilty of does not negate your guilt in the matter.

"The foundation of irreligious criticism is: Man makes religion, religion does not make man. Religion is, indeed, the self-consciousness and self-esteem of man who has either not yet won through to himself, or has already lost himself again. But man is no abstract being squatting outside the world. Man is the world of man – state, society.
This state and this society produce religion, which is an inverted consciousness of the world, because they are an inverted world. Religion is the general theory of this world, its encyclopaedic compendium, its logic in popular form, its spiritual point d’honneur, its enthusiasm, its moral sanction, its solemn complement, and its universal basis of consolation and justification.
It is the fantastic realization of the human essence since the human essence has not acquired any true reality. The struggle against religion is, therefore, indirectly the struggle against that world whose spiritual aroma is religion.
Religious suffering is, at one and the same time, the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.
The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness. To call on them to give up their illusions about their condition is to call on them to give up a condition that requires illusions. The criticism of religion is, therefore, in embryo, the criticism of that vale of tears of which religion is the halo."

"Dont complain about the government."
"Dont rebel against the government."
"Be satisfied with how much government pays you."
"Obey the government."
"Dont feel sad when government puts you in miserable situation, but keep serving the government."
"Each government was put there by God."
"Dont think about Earthly problems or what the government does to you, but think about your reward in Heaven"
These are teachings of the Bible.
When read this way, you can obviously see that only a pure idiot would willingly follow these teachings.
Christians have a moral duty to support every tyrannical government on Earth, because "each was put there by God".
In fact, any smart government would encourage Christianity, because Christianity literally commands people to obey the government while discouraging any kind of rational thinking.
So yes, now we have discovered the true purpose of Christianity.
