- Comment on Indiana Jones doesn't "endorse" Nazis, Bethesda assure, just in case you were confused by him repeatedly murdering them 3 weeks ago:
It’s worse than that. Hitler’s entire economic plan relied on heavily burrowing money from other countries with the intent to pay it back with money plundered from conquered nations.
As for the people having better lives, well, not really. Earnings increased for workers but mainly from working even longer hours. The actual hourly wage fell on the level of the Great Depression. And due to less imported goods, consumer products like food and clothing also had to be rationed.
Who was better off by a lot however were large cartels and monopolies crushing small businesses thanks to the eridications of unions and, later, forced labor in the concentration camps.
- Comment on Control 2, Condor and the Max Payne remakes are shaping up just fine, say Remedy 3 months ago:
Damn, I can’t wait for Control 2. I loved Alan Wake 2, but Control was even better IMO.
- Comment on Dragon Age: Dreadwolf set to arrive by next March, according to report 6 months ago:
When was the last really good game from EA and Bioware? Yeah.
- Comment on Netease announce Marvel Rivals, a free-to-play 6v6 shooter that desperately wants to be superhero Team Fortress 7 months ago:
The only surprise is the inclusion of Galacta, daughter of Galactus. Talk about obscure. Wouldn’t the Grandmaster be a much more logical choice for the person controlling the battle arenas?
- Comment on No Man's Sky Orbital Update brings full ship customisation and a complete space station overhaul 7 months ago:
I fully expect Light No Fire to be a reskinned No Man’s Sky on a single planet with a fantasy coat of paint (and I look forward to it!), and all features they are still adding to NMS to be in LNF as well. Quite clever IMO.
- Comment on AI model recommended Black defendents 'be sentenced to death' 8 months ago:
Even worse, train AI on how humans act on the internet.
- Comment on You don't get to lead a holy war in Dune: Awakening, but you do have to think about religion 8 months ago:
I mean, yeah. That’s probably exactly what they’re doing. Licence games usually don’t really have a very big chance of being actually good.
- Comment on Dakota Johnson on ‘Madame Web’ Blowback: “I’ll Never Do Anything Like It Again” 8 months ago:
Nah, James Gunn’s Suicide Squad blows it out of the water. It’s definitely one of the better ones though.
- Comment on Opinion | How Bad Can It Get for Hollywood? 8 months ago:
Turns Out letting creative people be creative produces great stuff. Crazy how that works.
- Comment on Fallout TV Show - Trailer 11 months ago:
I’m not sure how that’s meant? Expanse was saved by Amazon and allowed to have enough seasons to tell its story.
- Comment on Nearly Half of CD Projekt Now Working on The Witcher 4 11 months ago:
They also flat out lied about what kind of game it is right until the release. They promised NPCs with their own lives and incredibly intricate dialogue choices that have ripple effects on the whole game. Nothing like that is in the game, even now.
- Comment on Nearly Half of CD Projekt Now Working on The Witcher 4 11 months ago:
I hope the praise heaped on Cyberpunk 2077 now doesn’t let them forget the absolute shitshow of a launch so that they don’t try to rush out the next game half-baked as well.
- Comment on Local pop radio station is using its metadata to spread anti Biden propaganda 11 months ago:
Before Musk, Twitter claimed that hey couldn’t effectively censor Nazi stuff because it was too similar to what Republicans post, so… yeah.
