Chrono Gear is actually pretty linear and level-based, so getting lost isn’t really an issue

Yeah, I get what you mean. I’ve never watched VTubers either, but the technology behind it all is really fascinating.

Honestly, the only way I even know about Chrono Gear is through one of the devs I follow; I just tend to like their style.

I tried antimicrox and it works like you said! The only issue is I can’t get the joystick to rotate the view fully in fullscreen (yes, I’m a fullscreen freak) without the cursor hitting the edge of the screen. Still, it’s useful stuff though. Thanks a lot!

That’s impressive. While I know nothing about VTuber rigging (and have no particular interest in it), I still find it fascinating. It reminds me of a fan game I play called Chrono Gear: Warden of Time; I haven’t even finished it yet, and I don’t know any of the characters or the lore, but it’s a great game. It just goes to show that good work is good, regardless of context!

Oh, and about the modpack. Call me weird, but I like to play everything with a controller, including minecrap of course. The problem is that this version of the modpack doesn’t support controllers, so I’ve had to scrap the idea of playing on older versions of the game, at least any that are too old to have controller support. The idea of playing an old version is still neat, though! It would help prevent me from getting overwhelmed by objectives and let me just focus on enjoying the experience, which is a very good thing!

I appreciate the tip. It’s probably my OCD. Never considered using an older version of minecrap, but I’ll try it next time I get the itch to play. Will bookmark your modpack!

Also, cool to hear you used to be a builder for servers.

Seeing your world gets me hype to play. But then all I do in minecrap is start a new world, punch a few trees, mine some stuff, build a crib, then leave it to die and let PrismLauncher gather dust on my Ubuntu desktop. Repeat.

I’m jealous of people who can enjoy it so easily; the only thing I ever truly enjoyed was playing minigames on servers

The same way they are currently arming Israel

That’s only possible if they can topple the government

I would argue it’s easier to arm the resistance fighters than to de-arm Israel

Like… how do Americans start arming the resistance? Through what port? With what shipping company? While the FBI is… what, on lunch break?

That’s a fair point, and it actually reinforces the core principle I was getting at. The key in any space is to know your audience and speak their language, avoiding the ‘red’ terminology that triggers defenses. This isn’t just true for people; it’s true for the platforms themselves.

We can spread our ideas on any platform. The key is to know your audience and speak their language. Avoid the intimidating ‘red’ terminology. I understand the frustration of tempering your language, but you can’t convert someone in a single interaction. Focus on planting seeds. Remember the lurkers: an idea is more readily absorbed when it’s a thoughtful point, not a full manifesto.

Seek out catalytic moments, where a reactionary crowd targets someone for a progressive statement. In these situations, treat the opponent’s rhetoric as a specimen to be dissected. Your discipline is key: do not react emotionally or be baited into their frame. Your goal is a systematic dismantling. Break their argument down into its core claims. Do not let them distract you with personal attacks, whataboutism, or shifting goalposts. Anchor the debate on their original, foundational points. Then, methodically invalidate each one with concrete evidence. You are performing a public demonstration: this is how an ideology collapses under the weight of its own failures.

Know your battlefield. If you’re thinking of going into a place like Stormfront to debate their core members, forget it. You’re not there to convert the propagandists; you’re there to win the audience. Your goal is to make the lurkers see the truth, not to make the liar admit they’re lying.

And when you pique someone’s interest, when you see that spark of genuine curiosity, guide them. Point them toward resources where they can educate themselves further. Maybe that’s a book, a video essay, or even an instance like lemmy.ml. It’s a gradual process; you don’t hand a new recruit the full agitprop arsenal on day one. You’ve just shown them the crack in the wall; now give them the tools to see it’s part of a crumbling foundation.

The signatory list for the Hanoi Convention has been disclosed. As expected, the key states leading the charge for a multipolar world and digital sovereignty have signed: Russia, China, DPRK, Cuba, Belarus, and Iran.

And, in a move that should surprise no one, the United States is conspicuously absent.

Wow! that was some cool insight

Yeah. Don’t be mean to me, okay?

What is the charge? To cuddle an adorable, squishy, little pink blob?

From what I’ve read, the company wanted compensation of up to 23 million yuan, citing costs like refunds to affected customers and reputational damage, but the court ruled that this was speculative and reduced it to 2.2 million yuan

sad to see you go. I will keep learning to draw, but I will never have the confidence to share my art online, at least not until I’m ‘good enough’ or when I’m on booze . I hope you’ll lurk around too, like me. I can always find the fun shit here even if I’m not posting

I feel like China keeps making scientific breakthroughs every day at this point

omg, she’s so cute , kinda inspired me to draw more now
