Marx would be committing welfare fraud so he could spend his time writing theory at 4 AM and strudently interrupting the local DSA meeting to call everyone except those in his subgroup a modern term for idealists that he just made up.
And between that playing Morrowind
In the Philosophie de la misère all the defects of Proudhon’s method of presentation stand out very unfavourably in comparison with Qu’est-ce que la propriété? The style is often what the French call ampoule. High-sounding speculative jargon, purporting to be German-philosophical, appears regularly on the scene when his Gallic astuteness fails him. A noisy, self-glorifying, boastful tone and especially the twaddle about “science” and sham display of it, which are always so unedifying, are continually jarring on one’s ears.
Marx was truly one of us

Utopians maybe? Nah too easy to decipher, uhhh oneirods? From Oneiros, the greek god of dreams?
It would be some esoteric Debord reference
Marx would religiously maintain a realistic economy mod for Stardew Valley that everyone fucking hates because the realism makes it almost impossible to do anything
Is there a realism mod for Stardew?
Stardew Valley grounded survival mods is a hilarious concept. Relaxing farming game except you can freeze to death in your cabin and most things in the mines can one hit kill you, with permadeath.

Skyrim had the worst story of any of the Elder Scrolls
Oblivion and Skyrim aren’t games you play for the story silly, they’re engines to build your own video game via modding.
It worked for that one guy who made that mod about the secret time loop city
He went ahead and made it into a standalone game
Yeah the total conversion mods for Oblivion and Skyrim are great from what I gather, I’ve yet to try them.
This mod in particular was just a custom area in the game. If you like punishing yourself and don’t mind save scumming until you get a feel for it the Requiem Overhaul for Skyrim is a lot of fun. Brings it more in line with earlier games like Morrowind where undead like draugr will be virtually immune to damage outside of fire attacks / silver weapons, trolls will regenerate their health rapidly unless you set them on fire. Archetypes are more clearly defined where it takes a lot of skill points to use magic to any real degree while wearing full plate and everything does a lot more damage so combat feels more impactful, getting hit in the face by a 2h axe will kill you so you best be dodging those swings. It does start out pretty slow though because you can basically only kill bandits and wolves for the first 20 levels.
Skyblivion is being released sometime in 2025 though and I’m pretty hype for that.
The time loop city was pretty cool
Much better than just about anything else outside of Blackreach
And even then, Blackreach was woefully underused
You play it for the vibes
Terry Pratchett was involved with a mod for oblivion apparently. It’s a really cute story
I don’t know, I don’t think Oblivion’s is much better.
Oblivion’s story is terrible
Everyone just remembers it fondly because of nostalgia now
But it’s so bad
Finding Patrick Stewart’s bastard son Sean Bean so he can do all the actual work of defeating Mehrunes Dagon
I remember literally putting the controller down and saying “Wow, that was awful”
Even the lauded Dark Brotherhood plot is bad because it’s so heavily telegraphed that you can see it coming and yet, you are powerless to stop it despite the game pretending like your choices matter
Ok this is all true but having Patrick Stewart phone in his lines is still the most memorable ES main plot to me. OK maybe i’ve never finished an ES main story and sure, i want Picard to be my real dad but still
Like, the way to do it would have been to have him stick around for a little bit and then die trying to do the thing to stop Mehrunes Dagon
Immediately dropping dead after being like “This is just like the dream I had, I know I’m doomed” is just
Very obvious he was paid by the line
Just like Liams Neessons in Fallout 3
Everyone hyped up the Dark Brotherhood questline so much only for it to turn out dog shit.
Everyone acts like Lucian Lachance is so cool, but he just dies like a chump.
He should have been doing a power play or something instead of the awful plot we got where some mama’s boy kills everyone and there is nothing you can do because everyone in the Dark Brotherhood is incompetent.Edit: some of the individual quests are good tho I guess, but the overarching story was so blah
The quest where you go into the painting is pretty nifty, but it’s like 10 minutes and has no real bearing on anything
Which is a shame because, holy shit, painted worlds ala Super Mario 64 could be utilized for so much cool shit
I played Oblivion a lot but I never finished the main quest. I was too busy doing shit with the thieves and dark brotherhood.
Better off really
Idk if I can say I like the story, but I like the ending
I liked the storyline in dragonborn and all the lovecraftian shit
Yeah, Bethesda seems to really do better on DLC. Shivering Isles is easily one of the best parts of Oblivion, and I quite enjoyed Dragonborne. Dawnguard had cool setpieces but the overall story wasn’t my cup of tea
They re-used the ending in fallout 3 but named the giant demon Liberty Prime and put it on your team instead.
I was talking about Skyrim
ooooooooooo
I thought it was a good game.
I never finished the main story though, and I got it on release in 2011.
Best way to play it is to ignore the main quest TBH, just like Fallout 3
Another game I never finished. Haha
Yeah, you’re probably right!
I think it’s offensive to imply Marx would like fantasy instead of Fallout New Vegas. Plus, he would spend ages just tinkering with Europa Universalis.
marx would deffo be a hoi 4 kinda guy
doing playthrough after playthrough in different majors to do the communist route
Fuck it, I’m throwing my hat in the ring - factorio guy, but instead of using online calculators to set up his production lines he raw dogs it on a piece of paper
he also makes tutorial videos but they are the ones with just a guy talking over the gameplay without cuts and its called “first steps in factorio tutorial” and its 2 hours long
If Marx was alive today he would finish capital 2 and 3 and write part 4 on the history of economics like he always planned to do. Then, if he had a third lifetime, he would start on the rest of the many projects outlined in his “Grundrisse”. He would finish them in his fourth lifetime and then in his fifth lifetime start to condense everything down into something more readable and put it into modern context. He would finish the project on economic theory in his sixth lifetime.
Marx is a cat confirmed
The 7th lifetime would result in a culmination of his life’s works, a sort of manifesto for communists
he would be a volcel radlib obviously wtf
The point of communism is not to observe the world but to change it.
Leftcoms sit around, observe, moan and do little else. I struggle to imagine Marx as one.
Engels would watch him play Morrowind and then write erotic fanfiction about it on AOOO.
But would Marx be on the Tamriel Rebuilt mod-team writing quests that go into wayyyyyyyyy too in depth about the material conditions of a kwama egg seller situated in Tel Branora and how their profit is sky rocketing by using Telvanni slaves and selling to the mainland?
both have terrible foreign policy, but at least maoism has both relevance and material benefits its brought to people.
