ID24: A new Doom mapping standard

I warn you in advance! If I accidentally use English suffixes, it's Google Translate that's mixed everything up. I don't understand anything about them myself.

Gay convo

Pretty much this. Do I whip out Scrooge McPaper or Sir Incel Newton ("gravity is keeping us down, man") for this one.

The word's fine depending on how it's used. It's fine if used colloquially here and there if it's clear what is being talked about. And I must bring up dn's analysis postings on brevity vs detail, in regards to language economy and language policing. But here the word is usually used with unsubstansive, incohesive ad-hoc rhetoric from what I call the "problematic-oids". Arguments from people with the philosophical attention span of a gold fish, as they flounder around trying to explain why all configurations of things, everything and their opposite, are actually bad... and are bad because of MONEY! in particular. And if not money, move the goal-post and abstract the issue to CAPITAL, and then to POWER or whatever.

Timeline A: "Beer is a capitalist conspiracy to keep the proletariat content in their poorness and just satisfied enough."
Timeline B: "Prohibition is a violation of freedom! and a conspiracy to keep the working class sharp, productive but miserable."

And When people complain about MONEY, if they suggest an alternative at all, at best they suggest that to hold the rich accountable, we need to obscure the accounting system (MONEY) in various ways.

Tldr; I don't hate the word 'capitalism', it's just often a meme word that people label things as to cop out of actually thinking critically. And everything is just a different configuration of capitalism anyways, the good, bad and ugly.


Maybe this is separate strain of thought, but here's a funny example of two companies people hate, though one is not like the other.
-Nintendo: Doting helicopter mother, overprotective of her children. Attacks everyone unconditionally who interacts with their brands. Annoying, yes, but at least there's some partial virtue in it, I guess...
-Bobby Kotick (former Activision/Blizzard CEO): Sacrifices his adopted kids to Moloch to cheese out quarterly profit and line his pockets. Only to take his bag and dip from the company after selling off to Microsoft... And I argue that this was against Activision/Blizzard's long-term interests wrt its franchises. (pretty sure Kotick must have had a Nixon/Epstein style black-book on his board members. he sucked ass).


The word, Short-termism, cuts to the point better, imo. Being unethical in the short-term often costs the long-term.

But at the end of the day, there's people who complain that they have to spend money for OverWatch 2 skins, and simply state "capitalism" as the source of their woes... They aren't better than any CEOs, are they.
This is why we can't have nice things.

sorry. it was hard to resist.

i keep wondering how come that all around know everything about "marxism", and only i, being a comminust, don't even know what the fuck it is.

Cockism

that's the cadaver which has nothing to do with what Marx did. and there is no such thing as "marxism" at all. Marx invented marxist dialectics (by sanitizing hegelian dialectic), and then demonstrated the application of his method in "Das Kapital". that's it. there is nothing more than a scientific method, which could be applied to any field of study. "Das Kapital" is NOT "the marxism book" in the sense of "explaining the world". it is just a technical demo of dialectic method.

So everyone in doom community is either a trans commie or an autist commie? Got it.

ancient theory of flat Earth led to scientific and social improvements too. it still doesn't mean that Earth is flat. but we can ignore real Earth form for many calculations, so it is "imaginary flat". most cadavers has something usable, even if it is not right. still, it has nothing to do with Marx. it is essentialy "anti-marxist" (if we well use the word "marxism" as "the basics of Marx's method").

heavily modified. so heavily, that it is basically a completely different language. the modification itself is quite minor (roughly speaking, removing idealism from dialectic), but the consequences are gross. ;-)

as much as flat Earth is the part of science.

as it has no meaning, any using of it will be proper. and meaningless.

It's modeled after and inspired by Marx's work and in their eyes is it's logical progression. "Filling in for his blind spots" as the argument goes. And unlike flat earthers it's a rampant ideology here in the states. I do think he would be quite unhappy with it and we could debate it's merit in relation to his work but it's a functional descriptive term that has a meaning as I had linked. There are plenty of words that don't represent what they are used to describe with full accuracy but such is language and I have no interest in debating those semantics. If you want to argue that they hijacked his name I wouldn't necessarily disagree but don't consider that important. To me it's like someone arguing that there's no such thing as a soulslike genre in games after a game is called that because it's aping Dark Souls mechanics, despite clearly not being Dark Souls. Shit's still a soulslike. 

yet i do. we cannot have good things if we are using wrong words. it's like if i would rename k8vavoom to Doom: it is technically still Doom, right? so it would be a logical move. and if i'll be able to get away with it (let's pretend i will ;-), then all other idTech1 forks should be compared to my engine, because my engine would become "The Real Doom" in the eyes of most people. because 'cmon, i simply "filled the blind spots", so k8vavoom is The Doom now!

that's why i am so sensitive to this topic.
