I enjoyed the first book! I've got the second tucked away somewhere, too.

The Battle of Chile is a three part documentary about the military coup against Salvador Allende in the 1970s. Patricio Guzman and his associates recognized that crazy things were about to happen and took to the streets to capture as much footage as they could, knowing that a record needed to be kept. One of the cameramen was disappeared, tortured, and presumably killed, while the others smuggled the footage out to Cuba.

It may feel too prescient for American audiences now. Gods, it was plenty powerful to me as an American watching in 2012. It is well worth your time.

They might even kill some "military aged males!"

I'm kind of surprised by how many people have an answer for this already considered. I don't think this is something I've had to consider since primary school.

I'd probably consider the day over just because I would be worried by whatever medical condition led me to shit my pants out of nowhere.

I came here to post about this too lol. The final fight scene with no rendered textures was great.

Thanks for telling us that our politics are fucked. We had no idea.

I came here to recommend this, too. This game lets you really hit a nice vibe with the movement. Has co-op, too!

The Masterwork Mod back on the pre-steam version let you play Orc Fortress or Kobold Camp. I didn't mess with it too much, but it was pretty novel!

Congratulations, me too. Systemic problems don't affect every individual in the system in the same way.

Some people seem to have an inability to understand the importance of coalition building in a democratic society. That's kind of the whole thing.

Like, sure there's a time and place for us to argue differences, but how productive is it to just lead in with calling someone a class traitor? Regardless of whether someone feels that's true, is that a helpful approach? What purpose does that really serve?
