kinda odd when people complain about an aspect of a game with modding capability which has mods available for that precise change. like sure balance would probably be best provided by devs that can consider a wider context and it makes it more 'official' but in the meantime...

yea its not so bad if you play distance and chip damage and cover, just gotta respect the build

some classes i have a pretty hard time with that, esp melee, but i've kinda been avoiding them anyway so w/e. more to learn but thats a later task

artificier is super fun

makes sense, mei main

shes just cool for having cc and vertical mobility and built in status effects and also for being projectile

yo i found it

okay it turns out i was actually the one being anachronistic, ego-dystonic came later and is american DSM type shit, ego-alien is accurate and more specific anyway, neat

ego-dystonic....

i'm so curious i wonder if the translator translated it "ego-alien" as a way to be more legible to english audiences or if that was actually roughly a phrase in use in 60's german psychology (which would be fascinating)

unironically: the world spirit has set me to work on this neglected opposite side

this thought also makes me happy because it's a recognition that there is a long process of socialization/familiarization into a culture/community, and the scaffolding you use to start joining in on the conversation probably has a lot more depth than you're capable of grasping at the start

beyond capability theres also a question of temperament and what scaffolding i'm open to allowing myself to climb, even if just temporarily

my metaphors are all mixed but you get the deal

in general on the left we're excessively nominalist, and it came about for good reasons, but it runs against real limits and there has to be more grappling and usage of the universal

which is like actually really fucking hard because i lied when i said the left is excessively nominalist, they're still stuck all over the place on confused and wrongheaded concepts: "freedom", "humanism", take your pick. deflationary and particularist moves in response are of course necessary, but

unfortunately that's usually where the development ends because the interlocutor isn't equipped for a proper rejoinder. but that leaves the debunkers in self-satisfied ignorance, trapped at the object level with no room to move

this is what i meant a while ago when i said "i'm too nominalist for my own good" because it sucks being stuck there, replete with inertia. all the viable conceptual apparatuses around me are not up to the task and i don't trust the ones that are peddled

which is why this trip back to adorno has been so refreshing, i really have been desperately dehydrated by my own doing. i'm still not at the point where i can comfortably navigate myself entirely, but i can tell that this is where i want to be

i'd like to err too far on the side of hegel for a while, if possible

hm i don't like when my posts are subtweets when i don't intend them to be

more uses for my diary probably

this isn't a kasey subtweet lol

i think its funny when kasey mixes up when to use +1 and +2

:3

this has worked for me btw! i still have more progress to make in this direction (i think my next step is to start writing about what i read) but yea huge +1 on that, it's way more fun

getting closer tho

so the point about dialectics is not to negate the concept of fact in favour of mediation, or to exaggerate that of mediation; it is simply to say that immediacy is itself mediated but that the concept of the immediate must still be retained.

literally so cute, the lectures are just sweetie pie baby mode
