“That’s why it’s really annoying when people talk about exploitation,” the gamer told Rest of World. “I couldn’t tell you what the hourly rate comes to, but I could tell you that people make very little money and the cost of living is very low in the Philippines.”
Why even talk about the Philippines? There are plenty of NEETs out here who might take this job. It is not like the pay in other jobs is anything decent. People, who only have their low paid jobs depend on government assistance, food banks, and similar schemes to make it. Inflation has pretty much caught up with minimum wage. Somehow this is not controversial or exploitative but some crypto bro talking about Filipino NPCs is?
I played Baldur’s Gate III for like a third time but this time I actually recorded most of my gameplay. You can watch it on my channel but if you want to avoid unnecessary spoilers, watch my playlist below for highlights…
I would not be lying if I said I am enjoying this game. My three year contract has been ended and I have time to play. But hopefully I will finish it soon as it is eating into my other projects. I must say I still barely know what I am doing over there but my next playthrough will be pro. I promise! When I actually finish it, I will return to this post and publish it. This is because below you will find my BGIII highlights playlist that doesn’t contain many spoilers.
Baldur’s Gate III is a really good game with a very interesting grand narrative that the player is not initially aware of and your choices in the game, beginning with the character creation in the beginning affect how you will play the various encounters along the way. You basically peel away the secrets of this game in every playthrough and slowly become familiar with the story and the mechanics. At least I have it this way.
I actually could not finish the game…
In this game it pays to side with the good side, unfortunately I don’t think an evil playthrough offers good enough options, or I am not playing the game alright. I have seen that only less that 10% of the players achieved the evil achievements on Steam. I am actually thinking of doing the Dark Urge as it is called in the game, and this time I will do it good. I normally side with the good side but I give preference to certain evil creatures too. I am also not always benevolent.
This game is woke, I mean in the sense of black hobbits woke. Like choose your own body type and genitals woke. And every male character that you can recruit is gay. In my sorcerer playthrough, Gale and Emperor wanted to hump me. Also, all the fighters in this game doing the hacking and slashing are female. I can kind of understand Lae’zel the Githyanki, who hails from a matriarchy outside Toril (the planet on which Baldur’s gate is located. The Githyanki reproduce asexually by laying eggs. And only the matriarch decides which female will reproduce. I have read some futurist that suggested something similar for humans (will write about it on this blog later). Karlach reminds me of a butch lesbian from my work. The only male fighter you can recruit is Minsc the Rashemi later in the game.
But given the way D&D has been going, we can be glad Baldur’s Gate turned out the way it did. D&D system presents another problem. Larian found it a challenge to implement the rules. In the game you can only reach level twelve but the amount of experience you can get would probably achieve few further levels. Apparently the higher levels were rather hard to implement for Larian to keep the game balanced. And the level cap is therefore understandable. But Act III without progressing your characters felt kinda weird to be honest.
In my opinion, D&D (or rather WoC and Hasbro) has been living off hype created by Stranger Things and Baldur’s Gate III. Meanwhile they churn out virtue signalling solidarity with the Trans community. Like anyone cares at this point. Wanna be trans, be trans, why do we even need to know?
I was reading Saifedean Ammous’ The Bitcoin Standard and would like to make a note of a definition. The key property of a good that leads to it being adopted as money is salability.
Ammous mentions several goods that were historically used as money…
“…gold and silver, most notably, but also copper, seashells, large stones, salt, cattle, government paper, precious stones, and even alcohol and cigarettes in certain conditions.” (TheBitcoin Standard, pp 4)
Salability across scales, space, and time. Scale means that the good can be conveniently divided into smaller units, salability across space is concerned with how easily the good is carried, and salability over time is concerned with how well does the good act as a storage of value over time. And these of course then play into each other. Can the good be divided to make for smaller purchases? Does it require some other instrument of division like silver coins to a gold coin? Does it require a special storage, does it depreciate under the elements and finally is there a risk of inflation of the good?
I couldn’t help myself and paid $60 for Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion Remastered, and for several weeks I played it. I did it out of nostalgia because I remember I played and even finished the OG Oblivion on X Box many years ago. So I wanted to recreate some of that experience.
But I became bored of this game in a while. The dungeons are pretty boring. You have to present something more handcrafted in the current year. Also, the bugs in this game made some of the quests unplayable. And so I dropped this game. Cannot say I can recommend this, it ain’t that bad but it does not meet the standards of contemporary RPGs. I am waiting for Skyblivion.
AI and robotics can offset the low birthrates but we need to blame the women more for low birthrates. Women prioritize education and career over children, and some have epiphany phases when they hit the wall.
She is basically a landlord providing brothel rooms. I basically have nothing against women selling pussy. There are plenty of guys out there today, who don’t have girlfriends and wives. The latter act like prostitutes. You have to take them to expensive dinners and buy them expensive gifts, take them on expensive holidays and pay their rent, student loans, or consumer debt, only to get some of that used punani.
So what exactly is wrong with women asking for the money upfront? Economically it benefits the man, he can put his sexual needs into his budget. He does not have to listen to nagging and do errands for the bitch. She doesn’t ask you about your political views. She does not show you off to her friends. You don’t have to deal with her parents.
That said, what is empowering about getting you pussy smashed, your anus smashed, doing whatever freaky stuff she offers? Do you consider your nine to five as empowering? If sex work is real work then work must be empowering. What is empowering about a work? Doing your own shit is empowering. Being your own master. Being dependent on Johns to pay your rent doesn’t sound like empowerment to me.

I have already written about running your own BTC node in the post titled “How to be a good Bitcoiner”. But recent developments require an addendum. Run not just any node but rather download and run Bitcoin Knots. Bitcoin Knots filters out spam and limits transactions to only monetary exchanges. Problem is that the dominant software provider for Bitcoin nodes, the Bitcoin Core plans to allow spam to go through their software. Unfortunately this could mean that child porn could be passed around the Bitcoin network. This could lead to governments trying to discredit Bitcoin.
By running Knots, you are making the relaying of spam much more expensive and therefore less feasible for malicious actors. At this moment, the adoption of Knots is somewhere around 30%. So we all should run Knots to prevent nefarious plans of forces that would like to use the network for something else than monetary transactions.
The report above speaks of a crisis of masculinity. We can’t blame women in mainstream media. But the fact is the men in question were rejected by women, they have been ghosted, they have been cucked. It is hard to find a serious woman these days that is ready for a serious relationship with a man. Women either don’t want these guys or find them boring later. Guys get jaded by all this shit and stop pursuing women.
You either can get some young girl that has already been with 20 dudes before you for a short fling or some damaged ran through 30+ broad. My man, just stay single if you cannot land a decent girl.
