Hey, cause of Joker’s reveal I decided to play Digital Devil Saga. Heard it was a good starting point. Game’s loaded up, anything I should know before playing? I’ve never played an SMT game before.


Also what the actual **** are we discussing right now

Don't overeat and grinding might help things. Also have fun with Demi-Fiend

The ethical and pragmatic philosophy and ramifications of wealth redistribution. You know, the usual.

Oh, and it's easy to get money for all that stuff, increase tax rates for the people who keep buying yachts every few months or so because that would put money back in the economy. Give 100 bucks to a billionaire, they put it on the bank where it stays. Give it to a struggling family and that 100 bucks is guaranteed to get spent on necessities which in turn gets used for paychecks for the average person which then goes back into the economy yet again
There's a British TV Show I think you'd find interesting to watch if you can find it, called "Rich House, Poor House". It's about two families swapping houses (and incomes) for a short period of time (it's non-fiction programming, I should also mention).

I assume every episode has the rich family go "Jesus christ how can people live like this?"

If you had to choose to put in Smash:

1 - The Best Fire Emblem character you could think of
2 - Elma

Who would you choose?

Well, let's just say all the episodes end with the rich family making some kind of donation to the poor family.

Hey, fun fact, in the Netherlands, education is free up to your 18th meaning every child can potentially go through school, middle school and high school without having to pay a single cent. It's a gift, not a loan

Also yes lots of people die in the US due to not being able to afford medicine. Do you know how much it costs to make insulin for people who would literally die without it? Here's a hint, it's nowhere near as much as the price insulin is on the market in the US. There are many people who are forced to live paycheck to paycheck and because the US is the best example of unchecked capitalism I can think of, they can't afford to go to the doctor because that means a huge bill which they can't pay because they're living off of the paycheck. They also can't take sick days because they don't get paid for that there (we do here though). As far as I'm aware, there are no benefits programmes in the US to help those who are unable to get enough money (depending on my wages I can get a sizeable sum of money that basically gives me free insurance). People who are handicapped are unable to work and thus America ditches them because they aren't profitable. (My mother has been legally declared unfit for work due to her illnesses so she gets benefits from that and my own handicaps are to help me get a job and shouldn't allow me to get let go from my job due to contract expirations)

I mean, i’m not sure if you’re purposely being passive aggressive with this or if i’m reading it that way. But I already know the things that you asked me to guess about. Those are great things that socialism offers, and those are three kinds of things I believe the future SHOULD hold for the United States.

However, I simply cannot agree with an entirely socialist economic system. At least, in its worst forms.

Like I said, I personally think a mix of capitalism and socialism would be for the best so that people are supported and no one is left hungry, without care, or without shelter. Frankly i’m just extremely skeptical of all extremes.

Really, equitable care, education, and opportunity shouldn’t be extreme. That’s just fair, and that’s what society should be. Fair. Currently, it’s not fair for everybody.

Funny thought just occured to me for another time waster game. You are Sakurai... or Nintendo whoevers doing the DLC. You have total control of the other four DLC packages, We all know what characters we want yet but lets see if you can get 1 stage, and at least five pieces of music paired with your top contenders for DLC. GO!
1. Joker/Velvet Room/Persona 5 music

2. Scorpion/The Pit/Test Your Moght/Cyromancer/The Pit/Awakening/Who’s Next?

3. Dragonborn/Whiterun/The City Gates/Song of the Dragonborn/Watch the Skies/Around the Fire/Past to Present

4. Jack/Farmstead/Fall/Town/Party/Summer/Home Sweet Home

5. Elma/Neo Los Angelos/Unctrollable (Tyrant Theme)/The Key We Lost/Wir Fleigen/CodenameZ/MONOX


Whew finally finished

I think Hollow Knight: Silksong is a bad title. It really makes it sound like it’s just another expansion. They should just straight up call it Hollow Knight 2 I think.
