  • You do know that by taking such a stance on politics and being active about it, you’re pretty much a politician yourself?

    I mean, where do you draw the line? After you burned Bernie and aoc on the stake, each for being too much of a politician, who’s next? Anybody who’s willing to take political responsibility in any way? Anybody who ever had a public office? You’d burn the middle management of NASA next? Or do you need to have been voted for, do you’ll just kill anybody who ever participated in some stupid school board?

    But yeah, whatever, you’re obviously unhinged and insane, so go ahead and keep agitating against people you consider not left enough. You know that there’s someone like you left of you doing the same thing about you, right?
















  • Played the demo a bit. I really enjoyed the mechanics illustrated here. Felt like a modern roguelike with a license I’d enjoy.

    The one thing that stood out negatively for me was the art direction. Especially the character design. It’s one thing to not have the original faces, which is fair. I guess it’s some rights oddities with actors and actresses owning their own likelihood or something. But the movement is stiff and they just feel kind of… I don’t know, “dead” would be a hard word, but it kind of fits. I would have preferred a more comic-like appearance or something. Maybe a bit like the tf2 characters? That wouldn’t require the high budget that’s needed to make a human look decent which then never works anyway and always ends up deep in the uncanny valley. I also would have preferred a more abstract look of the systems, like an astrometrics map or something, with views that show actual models more true to scale (e.g. like the look of homeworld).

    I’m too busy to play video games right now anyway, so I guess I’d wait for a sale either way, but it still feels like the game could have worked better for me, personally, if a few decisions in the design process had been made differently.


  • Well, you know, the question was why that guns topic is so much more important than all the other atrocities going on. You see the relation in there? This idea of “I get there’s topic A, but why the fuck would that matter more than actually relevant topics B through ZZ?” Any relevant answer would thus have to establish some relation between A and any other topic and maybe generalise this relation a bit.

    Your answer was “guns and v8 make dick hard”. More or less. Which is a not too elaborate but somewhat fair statement in itself, but, you know, kind of absolutely doesn’t answer my question. Alas, you missed the topic. Happens to the best. But don’t get all mad if you don’t get your upvote then, pal.


  • If that’s the reason for guns and huge cars, then it’s one of the best takes I’ve ever seen for regulating the fuck out of both.

    There are plenty of other ways to feel empowered, big boy. Go downhill mountain biking. Learn martial arts. Become a part time lumberjack. Whatever. But if you just need hobbies that make you pound your chest, there’s really no reason to pick those that kill people or the planet.
