Don’t think it will get unlisted, as the lawsuit only relates to spiritual successors of the game and not the original game itself.

Gemini spent a bit too much time on political subreddits

Nah, it’s less fun than that. The capital is eating the left, again :(

Some context, albeit simplified: Disco Elysium as an IP and the company behind it (ZA/UM) practically got stolen by some rich investors from the original developers, and most of the original team left or got fired. There were plans for an official sequel of the game, but it got cancelled recently and since then, three games got announced back to back to back by three different studios and have promised to deliver a spiritual successor to Disco Elysium. The companies are:

• Longdue. They have some of the people who developed the original game plus people from big companies like Bungie, Rockstar, but they’re also in bed with ZA/UM and are the ones suing the other two companies.

• Dark Math Games. While they do have the most ‘game’ currently as in their spiritual sequel titled ‘XXX Nightshift’ has some trailers and a Steam page, there’s not that much known about them.

• Summer Eternal. It’s a workers co-op studio led by an original games’ writer. They have a website which hosts their manifesto, and having read it it’s definitely very Disco, would recommend.

If 21 % can’t read (are Illiterate) then it makes sense that 79 % can read (are literate). So yes, nationwide and in the US are the same thing.

Seems like I can’t read myself, I thought both said illiterate. My mistake.

Trump got 4 years of presidency in the US, which is definitely the more extreme punishment. It’s something I would never wish upon my worst enemy

The source seems extremely dubious with seemingly no way to see how they conducted the study and where they pulled the numbers from , and some of the points are not very well worded especially in their 2024 study, there the first 2 lines are:

“On average, 79% of U.S. adults nationwide are literate in 2024. 21% of adults in the US are illiterate in 2024.”

Granted, English isn’t my first language but those statements just seem contradictory. “U.S. adults nationwide” and “adults in the US” seems like the exact same thing, unless someone can correct me. Turns out I’m the one who can’t read, thought both examples used “illiterate” rather than “literate and illiterate”

Comment sections are also filled by bots so that doesn’t give that much confidence either.

Lemmy is my main but I still use Reddit sometimes for more niche subreddits.

To be fair, them getting their shit together would be good regardless if there’s another legitimate election in the future

Climate change isn’t real, it’s the democrat water machines they have in the ocean to punish red states, dummy.

Damn these government bird-drone manufacturer DEI programs, really trying to pander to the woke LGBT cultural marxists…

Fun fact: 90% of Democrats quit moving towards the right before getting moderate republican support.

But on a serious note, I remember seeing a bunch of comments on Lemmy about how Trump was guaranteed to lose against Kamala and then far-right would splinter and die out and everything would be fine again, yet this is something that might actually happen to the Democrats, given how they’re seemingly pointing fingers at everyone trying to find who to blame and who’s responsible. I really hope they don’t delude themselves into learning the wrong lessons, but it seems likely to happen.

I’m of the belief that even supporting the working class wouldn’t have been enough to beat Trump.

The world isn’t doing great right now, and there needs to be an unifying cause, an enemy to rally against and the right worldwide has done a good job to make sure it’s nationalism with the enemy being a foreign element or non-local ethnic group (be it jews or immigrants or liberals that want to destroy the country, etc). Trump has leveraged that to great success, and Harris was trying to do that as well with some of her policies and campaign strategy.

If the opposition to the far-right ever wants to take back the lead, I feel like awakening the class consciousness once more is the correct play. Not a socialist movement (though that would probably happen as a result), but just redirecting the anger towards those who are actually responsible for the general decrease in the standard of living and those who have so much influence and interests that directly oppose the classes that are struggling. Granted, this would take a left-wing Trump who US might never get as long as politics are being controlled by big money and corporate interests.
