I'm a Vietnamese cis woman born and currently living in the U.S. You may know me from Sandwich, from Twitter or Mastodon (same username), or on Twitch as Sharkaeopteryx. I do not have a Discord or Bluesky account.
Ask me about language learning/teaching, cooking/eating food, late diagnosis ADHD, and volunteer small business mentoring. Or don't, I'm not the boss of you.
I think people deserve to be young, make mistakes, and grow without being held to standards they don't know about yet and are still learning. So, if you are under 22, please don't try to strike up a friendship or get involved in discussions on my posts.
Please don't automatically assume I follow/know/co-sign someone just because I reposted something from them—sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Also, if you think being removed as a follower when we're not mutuals is a cardinal sin, please do not follow me.
playing some Disco Elysium-inspired game demos today and i'm evaluating a new objective form of game criticism, Time to Communism. the only thing it ranks is how quickly a game will allow you to proclaim yourself a communist in any capacity
Clam Man 2 - Open Mic has a TTC score of 20-40 minutes (talking to the poster roller guy) while Esoteric Ebb has a TTC of approximately one minute (literally the intro cutscene after character creation)
Thinking about how the Civilization games are an interesting case because before you are allowed to proclaim yourself Communist you first have to invent Communism.
Wondering if it makes more sense to measure it as time to communism option in an average playthrough or treat it like a speedrun category
I think there are two stats: minimum TTC (speedrun) and mean TTC (average playthrough)
I feel like claiming that you Invented Communism is somethinf Harry DuBois would absolutely do
