  Peasants mad that they’re treated like peasants by the aristocracy and their guards.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk email to X staff: ‘we’re barely breaking even’⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It had actually just started breaking even, but all the experts agreed it had effectively reached market cap and thus would never take in the kind of cash its valuation implied from a purely financial perspective.

  Then Elon significantly overpaid for it.

  At least if you don’t factor in narrative control as value, if you view it as an investment in ending American democracy it was probably a decent purchase.

  Doesn’t matter, it did what he needed it to do.

  It’s a bait comment!

  Now this is some journalistic bias I can get behind

  I thought we did tbh

  I need to hear more about these translation errors he just throws out there in a single line.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indiana Jones doesn't "endorse" Nazis, Bethesda assure, just in case you were confused by him repeatedly murdering them⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They changed it but you could always just have them as definitely-not-Nazis.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indiana Jones doesn't "endorse" Nazis, Bethesda assure, just in case you were confused by him repeatedly murdering them⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re misunderstanding the argument, but that’s just the nature of brief forum exchanges.

  Think of it as a continuous depiction of the Nazis as hyper-competent or full of geniuses unintentionally plays into the supremacy narrative, even when Joe Everyman is gunning them down. I don’t agree that Wolfenstein is pro-Nazi but it is a factor in public perception that creators need to consider when repeated in a hundred different games or movies.

  Even just repeating things like “At least Mussolini made the trains run on time” plays into it, especially when it’s a lie, just like the Wunderwaffe programs or the Nazi “miraculous economic recovery” which was just making people work longer hours and deficit spending.

  Well, that or America not electing FDR in 1936.

  I think it actually reveals a pretty fundamental aspect of the neoliberal viewpoint, that “providing jobs,” no matter exploitative they are, or how corrupt the industry is, is a fundamental good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The US Navy Is Going All In on Starlink⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m going to laugh when the 2034 Chinese-American War sees the US Navy get wiped out on Day 1 to a drone swarm following hacked Starlink connections. Bitches just don’t learn.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Peter Molyneux is back with new god sim Masters Of Albion, which looks like a stripped-down Black & White⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I liked them just fine, but he didn’t do anything to develop them but lie about what they’d be.

  A fraud over a video game record.

  Ever notice how gamers don’t complain about gender swapping when King Arthur is a big titted blonde?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Final Fantasy Tactics remaster reportedly “real and happening”, giving hope for one of the series’ finest to finally come to PC⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “Pick a god and pray” is still one of the rawest quotes in gaming history.
