Aria of Sorrow, Fire Emblem, Minish Cap… yeah

Okay, let me rephrase. They can try, but I don't think it will work on anyone but the bluedogs who were already eating that shit up.

This really is the best outcome in the event of Trump's win. Dems eat shit and they can't try to scapegoat Jill Stein or pro-Palestinians (a la Michigan) like they did Ralph Nader or dissatisfied voters in the 2000 election.

It’s funny to me that for all their massive egos, the Altmer are horrible empire builders whereas Cyrodiilics, people they look down and want to impose their rule on, are literally named imperials for a reason. They can barely keep an alliance with the Bosmer and Khajiit (who are more or less forced to be with them for protection) because their populace is largely too stuck up their own asses to pretend to give a shit about the Dominion’s own stated goals. How the fuck are they going to manage a continent-spanning empire centered on a province of Men whose entire culture is built on resisting Elvish oppression? Even just numerically speaking, it’s impossible.

The Elder Scrolls series has been pretty good at highlighting this as well playing with general tropes involving fantasy Elves; namely how unwarranted the idea that Elves having longer lifespans (by like a few centuries) and “sophisticated culture” grants superiority (see: Ayleids and Dunmer especially). ESO takes this up a notch even if it does give out mixed messaging by at some points unironically YAS KWEENing Ayrenn and giving said ESO guilds their unwarranted admiration for her. She is a massive hypocrite who still holds on to her prejudices when, after everything in the AD questline, she should know better.

 

The totally anti-statist global economic embargo completely abides by the NAP, Freedom of Association and other principles of Anarcho-Capitalism. ‘Why not just remove the embargo to show the superiority of capitalism over communism’? Well, uh… [pinochet_helicopter_meme.jpg]

I’m kind of surprised that the Argentine political establishment hasn’t gone completely off the rocker just yet. Then again, Milei is an outlier (especially in how unabashedly he tails the US) and the Cuban embargo is something that even most right wing governments worldwide vote against.

IIRC they still have some brainworms with regard to things like the USSR and PRC but that’s forgiven considering the alternative.

 

I hate liberals so much with a passion, it's unreal. I think I should get off Reddit until the election season passes, at least (if not forever). The few actually decent political subs I go to (along with some hobby subreddits) are just not worth it if this is what I have to see every single day.

Should have kept the original dialogue since it still fits.

Ah, not sure why I assumed otherwise.

And yeah, Chronicles of the Second War looks like a great modernization of the original, as someone who obsessed over Warcraft 2 back in the day. Human campaign is still under development though.

[–] RamrodBaguette@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Personally, I think a campaign interface that's the Dark Crusade and Soulstorm campaigns combined with aspects of Total War (like unique buildings suited for that province, separate from the main RTS battle buildings) would be ideal. Could expand the scope to be multiple star systems to really get the "grand" scale.

And by guilds, do you mean Avatar Conquest from TW Shogun 2?

 

The “brigading” (for lack of a better word) of that Jacobin post really shows just how much the very memory of Che fucks with libs and reactionaries. The man was cool in every sense of the word. Even after he liberated Cuba from a corrupt US-puppet dictatorship, he took the fight to injustice all over the world until the day he died, in Africa and South America in particular. His death at the hands of the US-backed Bolivian dictatorship also had the “unfortunate” side effect of his visage being forever ingrained into the world, even within the US. Him being handsome is just icing on the cake.

So, they have to smear him in the wildest ways in an attempt to tear that down in bad faith. It also shows whenever they make up stuff about Che’s attitudes/actions with regard to black and LGBT people, the former of which is especially hilarious because Che was tearing into the US’s injustice and hypocrisy for its own treatment of African Americans at the time.

It also has Souls-like elements, somehow (particularly in atmosphere and in having optional boss fights with the "Symbols of the World").

Not going to say anything else about the game since I recommend going in completely blind. It's... an experience. Completely sold on the game for when it actually comes out.

Between this, Ashes, Selaco, and Thatcher's Techbase, I'm curious just how many more bangers the Doom modding community has and will produce.

 

Dmitri, get the Pe-2s

On the plus side, you can avenge Rosa and Karl by turning Germany communist.

If you loved FEAR or the newer Wolfenstein games like I did, you'll likely enjoy Selaco too. It takes after those games the most (and even bits of other 2000s FPSs like Half-Life 2) despite getting labelled as a "boomer shooter", being chock-full of secrets/references and running on GZDoom.

The base price of 25 USD might seem a bit steep for an indie title and the game is still in EA, but this is the rare case where you'll get your money's worth in my opinion. The now-released first act (pre-update) is clearly an indicator that the overall design, gameplay loop and vision for the game has been nailed down to a T even if they still semi-regularly update it to tweak it further. From the updates, it also seems they actually have a plan for the next two acts to be released by this century (2025 and 2026 respectively).

That all being said, the story elements (beyond visual story-telling and logs/emails) have been left out for now and there's a big story update coming in by the end of the year so you can also hold off until then.

Here's a review

 

Tsar Pogromas II may have enforced the Pale of Settlement and directed massacres of Jews at such a rate that even other European powers, themselves virulently antisemitic, were condemning Russia, but compared to the later Soviets who committed the heinous crime of opposing my cherished Bantustan settler-colony and supporting Palestinian statehood, he was a saint!

Damn, maybe he shouldn't have entered the war then lenin-laugh

Doesn't take too long to find her ranting about "self-hating Jews" either, because of course. The cream on top is that she's also a Shahist Iranian Gusano, living in ukkk no less, so this is pretty tame compared to what usually comes out of their mouths.

IDK, maybe when more people here are getting screwed over, libs will radicalize and get off their asses instead of trying to guilt us for not giving legitimacy unconditionally to their favorite “lesser evil” bourgeois party.

Of course, using their meager leverage to extract concessions from the people supposedly representing them never crosses their minds…

Also imagine having the audacity to call us privileged when you see what’s going on in Gaza as a “single issue” instead of an escalation of violence by the ruling class that can and will go back to us.

 

Violence to uproot a US-backed dictatorship which shoves dissidents into mass graves every other week? Unacceptable and unnatural.

Violence to assist an ethnonationalist settler colonial project in eliminating resistance in the ghetto they shoved the indigenous population into for the past 75 years? What violence? Simply is a natural process.

Not even getting into the violence the American state used to entrench itself during its own revolution (against royalists, natives, farmers who want to pay less taxes like the Whiskey Rebellion) and, today, wages abroad and on its own citizens every other day (poverty, imprisonment, police brutality) to maintain itself.

Remember, the “hypocrisy” is the point when it comes to defending Empire. Deep down, they simply believe it’s a team sport.

Is it normal for communists to feel as dismally about the people of their own country as I do now?

OOTL: Protests happen outside of synagogues holding sale of stolen Palestinian land. MSM outlets, right and “left”, react predictably. This was under a post pointing it out.

On the ad itself, I can’t help but wonder what goes through the hollow skull of a thin-blue-like MAGA hog who thinks ~~the Jews~~ George Soros is funding “antisemitism” while also controlling the Democrats bending over backwards for Israel because… reasons.
