That's a good idea! Hopefully Cuba entering BRICS will help their trade.

That's a shame, would be nice to have it as a post somewhere if someone could find something. I can't find anything either.

Are there any support groups comrades can donate to? Hard to help when their issue is energy...

@magi@hexbear.net hot sauce is done! Fresno/garlic is super yummy, habanero/ginger has way too much ginger and is more of an overpowering punch to the face, even if I like the spice level more. Gonna use those notes and try to hone in for the next batch, whenever I get started!

I want to play it badly, but need to wait a bit so I can get more gaming funds... (don't PM me with codes or offerings of money, I love y'all but everyone in Mutual Aid needs it more than me, I'll be able to get SH2 next month anyways).

Oh no
I personally use a lever espresso machine and a hand grinder, but I also love a V60 pour over or an aeropress on occasion. I like lighter roasts and pulling 3 to 1 water to bean shots, personally! What do y'all like? 
Looks cool! Been following this for a while, excited to see it get a full trailer! New Vegas Engine too, so much better roleplaying framework and mods.
I've been reading theory, grinding my ML points,  and now I want to [Get Organized](https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/mao/selected-works/volume-3/mswv3_17.htm) and [Serve the People](https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/mao/selected-works/volume-3/mswv3_19.htm).  I know this is largely a regional choice, but among the major Marxist-Leninist orgs, which are doing the best work, in your opinion? Not asking anyone to dox what org they are in! I've seen [FRSO](http://frso.org/) and  , but wanted to know people's general opinions on them, or other orgs I should check out. I have a firm belief that proper theory and practice leads to better results, so it's important that theory and practice are both good. Additionally, the international struggle must be paramount, since this is  Thanks!  Witness Cowbee's attempt at building Communism in 2024!

Howdy everyone  It's been a while since I posted food. This time, it's refried pinto beans with coconut oil and garlic, onion, and chiles de arbol fried in the coconut oil. The multigrain rice has brown rice, white rice, black lentils, and oats! Topped with seeds and tahini and lime. Recently scammed my partner into agreeing to marry me,  so I'm starting the process of eating healthier and getting more into shape for it! !
Peaking my head into the space, Mothership and Shadowdark look awesome. Bonus points for sci-fi, being solo or 2 person compatible, or having elements be more open-source. Additionally: what's the best post-apocalyptic TTRPG these days?
Alternative title: what are you playing on your standardized linux-based laptop designed for efficiency and battery life over raw graphical power in an age of IP abolishment? I've been thinking about what gaming would look like in a near-fully Socialized economy, and what modern games would fit the idea best. The biggest kicker here is that I don't believe endless graphical improvements to push and sell more powerful hardware would still be driven as much. Efficiency over raw power. Essentially, the tagline from the perspective of a future Socialist being called a Revisionist online is infecting my thinking. That brings me to some ideas: Minecraft, Celeste, Stardew Valley, Hollow Knight, Crosscode, Caves of Qud, Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead, Dwarf Fortress, either open-ended or extremely tight and replayable games tend to fit my idea of what gaming would look like. Fallout: New Vegas, Disco Elysium, and other great games would be big too, as well as emulators. In an era with IP abolishment, gaming would look very different IMO. New Vegas, Minecraft, and other highly moddable games would likely thrive. What are your thoughts? I'm imaging playing these on a standardized Linux-based PC designed to be repairable with commonly produced parts, haha. Side note: board games count, too! TTRPGs and whatnot that don't require excess waste and are based around standardized systems like dice and playing cards would be cool to hear about as well. Kind of a ramble, needed to please the brain worms piloting my rotting corpse
My body wants to upgrade my shitposting ability, but technology holds me back 🫠 Using Jerboa, which is great, but emotes are my white whale
Homemade, plus leftover homemade tortillas turned into garlic "naan." Used [this recipe](https://makeitdairyfree.com/vegan-tofu-tikka-masala/), my partner and I loved it! All vegan, of course 😎
Like the title! For someone getting into board games, what would you recommend? Bonus points if it is or can be played cooperatively, with 2 players, and double bonus points if it has a sci-fi theme (like, grand sci-fi), though the previous points are more important. What do you like to play? Arcs and Earthborne Rangers both look cool to me, but wanted to ask here too! Anyone have experience with those two?
Looks better than expected, if heavily lib-coded and taking place on TERF-Island. Will enjoy bashing fash and gentry alike. Mod-pilled fan-game enjoyers have something to chew on again! Edit: Played about an hour, last night. Initial impressions from me are generally positive! There are SPECIAL checks so far, like a 7 strength check to open a jammed door. Melee seems to be favored heavily in the intro as well. There are other checks, like an Int 7 check and a Cha 4 check so far. For anyone wanting to try Survival, you *may* want to hold off. Beds are infrequent in the beginning (didn't find a single bed in my playtime), but the devs said they are going to add more based on player feedback. Visuals are a bit all over the place, textures seem to be varied in quality. A good texture pack mod and lighting mod would go a long way, the actual environmental design is pretty good so far, especially for a mod project. All in all, solid experience, and I am very excited! Definitely more fallout-y than The Frontier so far, but I *do* think some people are going to dog on it for not being AAA quality polish, which isn't fair at all to the devs. Edit 2: Large oof, there's an extremely early quest involving striking workers, but the entire schtick is that both the strike leader and capitalist are scumbags. Seems like you can just kill the Capitalist, but it implies the strike leader is just an opportunist who intentionally lies about what he will pay you. All non-violent solutions lead to a preservation of the status quo, and no added rights for the workers. It's the epitome of moralism and "both-sides-ism," it's the type of quest design that doesn't realize that even if the scumbag strike boss takes power, the conditions for striking *remain!* There's no agency from the workers. Edit 3: Been continuing through, Survival is brutal and the game is pretty buggy, but I absolutely love a lot of the environments, they have a ton of attention to detail, moreso than Vanilla Fallout 4 so far. The character writing has ups and downs, but having skill checks and other RP related choices makes it a ton of fun so far, hard to put down (unless I just lost 20 minutes of progress on survival, oof).
Like the title! There's a countdown on the Fallout: London discord server, and this morning the linked video was posted in the *annoucnements* tab. Looks interesting! As always with mod projects, I go in with negative expectations, and am almost always pleasantly surprised. Hell, I even squeezed fun out of The Frontier back when that came out, some of the side content was interesting. At minimum, I think it will be fun to explore, and for the low price of free, it's hard to argue against that. Low hopes for a decent story, but the setting itself is novel enough for the Fallout setting to drive the exploration and questing for me. A good story would be a huge bonus, though. What are your thoughts? Have you been following the development? I myself have a *huge* obsession with Fallout mods, especially quest and expansion mods, so I've been following this one for years. Finished Shadow of the Erdtree just in time, on Monday 😎
Like the title! I normally am very critical of Expansions, but sometimes they build upon the base game in very unique ways. I love *Dead Money* for Fallout: New Vegas, it has the sharpest character writing and turns the game into a Survival Horror experience while remaining authentically "Fallout." What are y'all's thoughts?
Thought I'd check out PeerTube and see how it's going over there. Thoughts?
Like the title. What games are made better with mods, and foster a great modding scene that retains momentum and delivers excellent content? My personal favorite is Fallout: New Vegas, but games like DOOM, Half-Life 2 (really all source engine games), and Minecraft have extremely unique mod scenes. Of course, Skyrim remains a modding titan. STALKER: Anomaly is already an amazing mod project and has mod lists for it like GAMMA. What are your favorites?
Ideally one that is forward-thinking, gaming-friendly, and efficient.
["Could be the ratchet effect. Lemmygrad and Hexbear are both explicitly Marxist-Leninist, but .ml is explicitly FOSS and Privacy based, just with Marxist-Leninist admins."](https://lemmy.ml/post/14933677/10623444) This was back when I tried to get PugJesus to try to understand how deeply unserious they were, and generally tried to appear less threatening to liberals to hopefully lead some to question liberalism or even read theory (Spoiler: it didn't work) Specifically, it was in reference to Lemmy.world becoming more and more right-wing as the target boogeyman shifts from more overt to less overt leftism, especially since ml removed leftist from its description. Kinda funny seeing it up there now that I've made a Hexbear account
Looks like Pizza Tower is on a discount, definitely scooping that up. How are Lunacid and Dread Delusion? The vibes look amazing but I haven't seen much buzz.
Been posting here and there from my .ml account, and figured that the communities I tended to enjoy interacting with the most were Hexbear communities, so now I'm here too, for when I just want to chill and don't want to smash my head into a wall talking to libs. Howdy!
