They are nationalist racists trying to cloak themselves with populist leftist ideas. This is the leader of that party:

Örebro Party leader Markus Allard goes to the election on expulsions. He opens to withdraw citizenship and also expel second generation of immigrants – even if they were born in Sweden.
“I’m prepared to cross corpses,” he said.One suggestion that he has is that citizenship and permanent residence permits can be torn up – with reference to “Sweden is the country of Swedes”.
In a section of Yoshi’s Podcast, Allard develops his view on expulsions and explains that he prepared to “go over corpses” to bring home unwanted immigrants. The host notes that there will be no beautiful sight when, for example, immigrant mothers who have been on maternity leave for 15 years are to be deported together with their children. “It’s not going to be pretty to send these people home,” he said. Markus Allard agrees, but says: I think you can handle that optics. Even the children will need to be deported, he explains.
He further explains that many of the problems relate to second-generation immigrants. They are going out too. Even if they were born in Sweden, because they have no natural connection to Sweden. They are not Swedes. They have not become Swedes. It says Sweden in the passport, but they have not been interested in becoming part of Sweden. There’s a difference. It’s a qualitative difference," Allard said
Remember; the Nazi’s did the same thing by strategically calling their party the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, despite them not being socialist nor a working class party. This was chosen because Socialism was gaining popularity, and thus the Nazi’s thought it would help their chances of getting votes and public support.

I saw a couple standout titles like A Short Hike (polished cozy game) and Neon Struct (thief-like). I’ll see if there’s anything else that jumps out st me.

Actually quite cool, I could see myself trying that.
- Comment on Valve dropped that Steam Machine Companion Cube case down the legal incinerator after its makers neglected to get their permission 2 months ago:
Valve has a history of hiring modders and making the mods official products (counter strike started as a Half Life mod). Black Mesa was originally a free mod, they then approached valve about selling it later, which Valve then approved.

Depends on what you and your friends need.
If you often use text, group video calls and screen share, Movim is probably the best option currently (though there is no application audio when screen sharing yet). It supports encryption too!
If you use mostly text, and just send video or voice files to the group to be played in-app, Deltachat is really slick and encrypted (but it doesn’t do voice calls).

The Revision mod looks leagues better, and overhauls the gameplay too.
- Comment on Indiana Jones devs MachineGames tease another Wolfenstein game - "we have a story to tell" 1 year ago:
Their first wolfenstein was a masterpiece with a surprisingly compelling man in the high castle-esqe story, the sequel tossed all that away by embracing a really cringe story that whiplashes between deathly serious discussions that are literally interrupted by bathroom poop jokes. That could’ve even been funny, but it didn’t seem to be poking fun at itself in a self aware way, it was just poor and inconsistant writing.
The 3rd was just an objectively bad game that tossed aside all the good aspects of the first game.
I was hopeful they would turn it around with the new Indy game, but that ultimately left me with a very mediocre feeling. Story was okay, but the gameplay left a lot to be desired, with repetitive ancient ruins puzzles that felt very gamey, combined with a bunch of somewhat lame side quests and okay-ish combat, and level design that felt a bit too restrictive for the stealth to really shine.
I’m no longer hopeful that Machine Games can recapture the magic of the first wolfenstein reboot.

Reminder to sign Ross Scott’s StopKillingGames EU Citizens Intitiative (which carries legal weight if it reaches 1 million) if you’re an EU Citizen! Ubisoft killing The Crew is what kicked the whole thing off.

It’s shorthand for The Original Series, which a lot of trekkies use when talking about the first show with Kirk and Spock.

Never played that one, but I gotta admit it looks pretty fun on youtube
- Comment on Would you recommend any of the Star Trek games? 2 years ago:
The Voyager Elite Force games are pretty excellent if you enjoy FPS games, and the TOS point and click games, 25th anniversary and its sequel are extremely well made too.
- Comment on What video game about the Vietnam war is your favorite? 2 years ago:
The old mid 2000’s game ‘Vietcong’ is still, IMHO, the most realistic depiction of jungle combat conditions in the Vietnam war. It can oftentimes be a janky, seemingly overly hard game nowadays, but there’s still nothing else quite like it all these years later.
The jungle is dense for that period, the AI is surprisingly tactically aware (at least from memory. They would ambush you, flank the player, and I think even run away if they were losing an engagement), there’s deadly, well camouflaged traps everywhere, making slowly walking the safest way to move around, the fights are short and deadly, and most impressive of all, it licensed a lot of famous 60’s songs from that era.
It can be a difficult game to get running on modern windows, but there might be some community patches for that. It would probably run better under Linux with wine.
If you’re looking for a hardcore singleplayer experience to explore that conflict from a historical context, I’d recommend giving it a shot.

- Comment on Sullair - Proof that if you treat workers well and remove middle management, productivity increases exponentially | 60 Minutes 2 years ago:
Some comments on that video mention their dad’s who still worked there and that they still had that atmosphere until recently (even after Sullair was bought by Sundstrand Corporation in1984). They were recently purchased by Hitachi in 2017, and I assume that’s when those perks started getting removed.
