When did we stop calling American troops 'babykillers'? How did we let this happen? Bring it back! in c/thedeprogram@lemmygrad.ml

They just hit you back with some self-deprecating cuck joke or worse they shrug their chud shoulders and say something about planned parenthood

Death Stranding 2's system requirements have washed ashore, and they're pretty reasonable in c/gaming@lemmy.zip

Yay. Shame about that price though.

I think "North Korea bad!" is the final boss of American liberal brain-worms. It takes a lot of deprogramming to unlearn this truism. The country's survival and growth should be an inspiring story. in c/slop@hexbear.net
Hasan Piker interviews Cuban journalist in c/worldnews@lemmygrad.ml

He also constantly accused Kamala and other democrats of supporting genocide and never told anyone to vote for her.

Hasan is both a DSA shill, and also part of the reason the Democrats lost the election, owing to his criticisms of Kamala.

I'm too old for streamers, I really don't have a horse in this race, but it's not lost on me that Hasan has actual, monied interests propagandizing against him. That's the only way you get silly narratives that appeal to 'both sides' like this.

The little input I can give on this subject is that Hasan's anti-fandom seems entirely sure that Hasan flips according to his audience, whereas Hasan's fandom is certain his audience is constantly being educated and enlightened by Hasan's takes. As with most things, overly positive and overly negative feelings towards Hasan are parasocial and we should only be analyzing his individual actions and their impact.

that clip is one of the few things i've seen of hasan but it's my absolute favorite video. it's so blessed. it has that pick-up guy energy, the cramped car, the tight camera angle. you think it's a set up for some horrible flirting exchange but it's some buff dude playing his dprk music to the lady like some nerd showing off

The hammer and sickle symbolized the biggest groups of proletarians, manual laborers and farmers. What would today's symbol be? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] MasterBlaster@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I think about this a lot. I genuinely think this is a really important question for the future. I'm not sure if we can reclaim the hammer and sickle in the eyes of the masses but the idea it represents of the two largest labor forces joining together will forever be important.

[–] MasterBlaster@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

on one hand yeah but on the other it's one of the most basic 'human consuming art' things in the world, to take a phrase or an idea from the art and bring it with you into your day-to-day. 'sweet summer child' presumably took off because it's immediately digestible even without the context of game of thrones, despite the literal meaning depending on that worlds fantasy elements

doesn't mean it can't be annoying or cringe to you but it should be expected

Most reasons for suicide are as political as any other.

You have a 1:2.2 upvote to downvote ratio

Devastating numbers. I can finally see now I've never actually made a bad post. Rather, downvote gregor, who downvotes 14282 posts, is an outlier and should not be counted

Developer ZA/UM says it’s actually for TikTok users.

“We intend to captivate the TikTok user with quick hits of compelling story, art, and audio, ultimately creating an all new, deeply engaging form of entertainment,” ZA/UM head Denis Havel said in a news release (via IGN).

Was Star Trek: Resurgence Good or Slop? (lemmygrad.ml)
 

I love Telltale and Telltale-adjacent games. Those narrative games where you sit back and choose dialogue options and action choices instead of actively playing.

I think a lot of those types of games miss that you have to tell a really good story for any of that to work.

Star Trek: Resurgence looks pretty good, but did anyone here play it? Is it actually good? Or is it Star Trek-flavored slop?

The Jakarta Method left me feeling raw af (lemmygrad.ml)
 

I just finished the Jakarta Method and it left me genuinely dismayed. Not like, astounded with how horrible it all was (I knew it was going to be horrible), but more, it made me put the book down and sit with my feelings of dismay. A little bit nauseous, unsettled, feeling a loss of hope for a lot of ideals I hold.

What a horrible period of history, in a century absolutely full of horrible periods.

Bummed out about Civ VII (lemmygrad.ml)
 

That's all. Played Civ since IV and the boardgame-like nature of it meant that I've gotten a lot of friends and family into it as a means to experience video games in general.

Civ VII looks really bad, even if I haven't played it myself. Systems upon systems that aren't properly explained, that somehow feel both cluttered and less in-depth than previous entries. Three truncated games making up the segments of one larger game is lame, too. A bad solution to the problem of people burning out in the later eras.

Most of all, though, is the business model of it all. Civ already leaned into 4X DLC conventions which meant getting the whole package was an expensive endeavor, but at least, for example, Civ VI had just two major expansion packs. Civ VII is already drowning into microtransaction leader purchases.

And then there's, just, the price. It's obscene. Denuvo is devastating to see as it creates a lot of barriers to giving the thing a try. I don't get excited for games any more, but Civ VII would have been one of them.

Anyone try it themselves? Anyone in love? Anyone feel like me?
