- Comment on Sultan’s Game is a dark, fascinating, and irrepressibly horny oddity 1 week ago:
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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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.

- Comment on Ubisoft Director Claims "Non-Decent Humans" Are Wishing For Company's Demise 1 month ago:
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 2 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 2 months ago:
I liked them just fine, but he didn’t do anything to develop them but lie about what they’d be.
- Comment on The Hacker Who Hunts Video Game Speedrunning Cheaters 3 months ago:
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 5 months ago:
“Pick a god and pray” is still one of the rawest quotes in gaming history.
