great shit post concept over the top of arks gameplay, which was already a pretty big splash. it’s actually such a win considering the developers are a pretty small scale and humble team

it’s a weird premise for a political comic because like your average communist is just not going to participate in electoralism, you can figuratively drag them kicking and screaming and they’re still not going to vote for you lol

sad and big true

i played outbreak so much as a kid that I still have the speedrun routes burned into my brain. put me in wild things and mf i’m killing the elephant to force the lions to spawn for an easier escape. i never even had an internet connection for my ps2 so I was straight singleplayering it

imagine being a liberal and having to accept that your personal voldemort cares more about Palestine than any leader you can choose from like even just being able to say that is more than so many western leaders

I don’t think corporations have as much of an interest in asserting Yasuke was a samurai as these people seem to believe.

That’s sad, man. He is so confident that everyone else shares his innate incuriosity towards one of the most ancient and prevalent forms of art/expression that humanity knows. Because he’s so incurious and ambivalent towards reading he geniuenly doesn’t understand the unique benefits of sitting down and directly engaging with something in a purely cognitive way. He thinks everyone is like him and, funnily enough, reading a bunch of non-fiction is the best way to get yourself out of that headspace.

As an aside, and not breaking new ground here: this guy is intolerable to listen to? he has a really arrogant/smug personality that he can’t stop from shining through. He has terrible camera presence and I think he’s kind of embarrassing to listen to. How does he have a fan base?

Yes! They patched it out of the directors cut, though. Personally I think much of the personality of the game was stripped away when we could no longer make Norman Reedus drink three full heart attack potions between each mission.

Any and all gaming projects, be they full game releases or some dudes personal mod, will be hounded by JAQing off about how communism is actually bad. There’s a real smugness to it, too. Like, “whao guys I know you’re having fun over here but we’re all on the same page that stalin murdered my grandparents with a giant spoon, right??”

we fully atomized now son, don’t got no social spaces free of the ever present pressures of modern economic system. can’t even sit down to play a game or read a book without wondering if you’re wasting valuable money-making time.

i have been keenly aware of how passionless and directionless i’ve been since i was a teenager. used to think I was just depressed but it took me a long time to realize the system is letting me down, and i shouldn’t be expected to change my very human wants and needs to conform to the soul crushing market-driven system we’re cursed in

Nothing gets me more ‘oh great commie forefathers we have failed you’ than seeing old soviet propaganda about uplifting and empowering women. I geniuenly believe we still need that to this day and absolutely loathe the placification of feminism under liberal ideologies

they’re cool hacker guys who exist outside of hegemonic ideology. they’re after the big guys, real cyber robin hood types. so anyway that’s why they wanted to bully poorer nation :)

dudes bragging like the DoD are so impressed and ‘want to know how he did it,’ mf I’m sure if the US wanted to they could bully their internet as well, probably a good reason they didn’t want to though

they made zelda woke 😞

literal ghoulish depictions of the image of man dreamed up by the soulless

i hate thumbnails. i hate search engine optimization. i hate algorithms. i miss feeling like people on the internet were ever at all genuine

yeah tankies have fun with your revolutionary larping LOL you have NO Idea how the world works!!

anyway don’t you guys think russia will split into a dozen different states after a post-putin revolution? maybe even china would get involved hey anyone wanna play HOI4?

is this praxis?

it’s not your fault that sort of crushing labor is poisonous to your soul. we’re all a product of our material conditions and yours are different to others.

i struggled a lot with work myself, feeling useless for most of my life because i couldn’t enjoy or even tolerate most types of labor that were available to me. there was no easy solution for me but it’s not an impossible situation to escape.

the support you’re going to get from your comrades on grad won’t be as helpful as support you can get from your co-workers or other people immediate in your life. when I worked a factory, we had union reps visiting throughout the week. even just talking to those guys made me feel sane, though the trade union situation in my local area meant they weren’t effective help, they were firm commies (that just couldn’t say so in as many words.)

i hate the whole ‘white women have sex with dogs’ meme

it’s disgusting, obviously, but it’s so mean-spirited as well. like it’s resentful, geniuenly hateful, due to a perceived trend that women have sex with dogs

of course almost all fetish content with animals is made at the behest of, with the involvement of, or specifically to appeal to, men.

i used to be addicted to pop culture and to an extent probably still am

no one got through to me by curbing my pop culture addiction. i needed the gnawing, numb emptiness inside of me to grow beyond the joy a rebooted IP gave me. only then did i start caring about actually important shit

Honestly, I don’t believe save TF2 will get anywhere. Valve is clearly uninterested in supporting the game, and who could fault them? It’s an old game, and games don’t need to be supported just because people play them.

The real problem Valve is playing with is that TF2 is still monetized. They should not be selling microtransactions for a game this broken. If they weren’t selling microtransactions, they would be entirely in their right to kill all official support and leave the game to community servers.

My main concern is that Valve will calculate this over the bad PR they’re receiving, and rather than do anything to curb the bot problem, simply kill their support for TF2. I would be okay with this. I think most people wanting to #SaveTF2 won’t be.

our universities are full of WOKE CULTURAL MARXISTS who want to OVERTHROW AMERICA, and that’s why petulant whining about minor protests groups get absolutely raked over the coals at every university you can imagine!
