This is excellent! Exactly what I was looking for.
Although, part of me is sad we aren’t all sitting at wooden desks raising our hands, as the stern, communist schoolmarm scolds us at not knowing the theory of wage labor value.
But seriously, time to climb the mountain, comrades!
Especially since the US Marshalls murdered Michael Reinoehl in Washington state, who was an Antifa activist alleged to have killed a far-right protester, during Trump’s first term.
Well, it comes down to a difference in processor architecture. There is a big difference between ARM and x86/64 processors. ARM is mostly used in mobile devices like phones/tablets and x86/64 is typically laptops/desktops. If a game (or program) is going to be released on a certain platform, then it needs to be specifically created using that platform’s architecture. That’s why your laptop doesn’t run Android/iOS apps and why Windows/Mac programs and games don’t work for Android/iOS. A developer has to make their game for that specific computing architecture. Think of it like trying to insert a bluray into a dvd player, sure they are both movie formats, but the format themselves are targeted for a specific device (in this case dvd players vs bluray players).
Emulation is quite robust on Android via multiple emulators for various consoles. However, what you’re asking is full virtualization of an operating system (Windows 10 or higher in this case) which just isn’t viable on an Android tablet due to it being an ARM processor device, and many tablets being relatively low-spec. You need a fair amount of horsepower to run an OS on a VM at a decent speed. Even on a desktop computer or laptop playing games ends up being slower due to not accessing the video card directly (I believe, don’t quote me, but it is slower generally especially for more graphic intensive games). Here is a thread on Reddit where someone asked the same question which provides some more thorough answers than what I just wrote: https://red.ngn.tf/r/virtualization/comments/l84esp/how_to_run_windows_10_on_a_virtual_machine_on/. Your best bet in this case is using some type of game streaming service that has an Android client and Disco Elysium on their catalog, otherwise there isn’t a chance that you’ll be able to accomplish this.
There’s a book I just learned of from the Rev Left podcast called: “Lenin’s Electoral Strategy from Marx and Engels through the Revolution of 1905: The Ballot, the Streets - or Both” by August Nimtz, that you might be interested in. It discusses Lenin’s feelings on parlimentarianism, I haven’t got a chance to read through it yet, but it sounds like it addresses the same concerns you’re stating.
Here’s the preface: http://www2.hhh.umn.edu/uthinkcache/gpa/globalnotes/Nimtz - Lenin-Preface Vol. 1.pdf
And here’s a link to the book itself:https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1385-the-ballot-the-streets-or-both
I don’t know the policy here on ‘high seas’ material, but I can PM you a link to a digital copy if you want ;)
Right now, I’d say the biggest beneficial thing you can do is just experiment. Pick a few things that look interesting and find some beginner resources to dip your toes in. It’s important not to over-analyze and be too critical of these new pursuits in the beginning. My problem was, quite frequently, I’d talk myself out of something before I really explored it to even decide with confidence if it really was for me or not.
Allow yourself to just go with an idea without judgement. Reserve your criticism for later when you have enough information to make a informed decision on if it is for you. Although, be aware that there are times when you can intuit your interest and desire based off of how it makes you feel early on, just don’t be so quick to pivor away because sometimes it’s just the learning curve of trying something new, and when you power through the initial discomfirt you find that you DO like whatever it is.
Bottom line: don’t feel as if you need to rush. With some exploring and experimentation you’ll find something that really resonates with you. For me that was writing and it’s been incredibly refreshing.
Good luck, comrade ;)
I’d love an invite, username is kvasirofthewoods
Thank you. Absolutely. It is a scourge akin to the scourge of Capitalism, in fact exacerbated by the chains of the system and the despair it incurs to our fellow working class men and women. I’m blessed to have made it out, I can only hope to help our other brothers and sisters as well.
Definitely! It’s good to have you. I hope it helps. I wish you great strides in your sobriety!
Thabk you for te clarification. I’m new and still grasping the fediverse terminology.
For sure. It’s been a great past two weeks though. I’m definitetly feeling more like myself again.
Sweet! I just created it. It’s called sobriety, I wanted a space where everyone could go to stay sober, not just alcoholics or a particular drug. Here’s the link:

I’ll he making a sticky sometime today when I get to the computer.
Welcome, member number uno! ;D
Congrats on the sobriety! I have 11 days sober from alcohol as of today, stay strong comrade ;) By the way, I’ve been thinking of starting a sober community, would you mind if I PMd you when I do? I’m going to try and grow it into a small, but active communuty hopefully.
Gently, geeeently working my way there, it’s pretty daunting. I have a good resource I found though, a podcast called “Reading Capital with Comrades”, that I’m going to use to follow along with them to understand the text better. But I’m trying to bite off a small, digestible bite at a time, both to gain full understanding and not just surface level, and because it’s too much for me to do any more than that right now.
