I'm not in a rush, I'm just checking in on my retirement plan.

Hey news nerds, just a quick check in, are we within five years of me fragging my officer after getting drafted into WWIII, or no?

Otoh the game proves that bi people make superior soldiers because they get accuracy bonuses from trying to impress everybody.

I actually enjoyed the game's aesthetics on the basis that I saw it as reverse Orientalist. Let's just mash WWI and WWII together, ignore how they're each historically regarded and use a tone that is completely off, and just pick and choose whatever aesthetics we think look cool and plop whatever story we feel like into it. I genuinely don't think there's any deeper meaning to the bad guys being geographically Russian because that would require closer attention and faithfulness to the setting than anything else about the game indicates.

If you wanna say that Orientalism is still bad when directed towards Europe, that's totally valid and fair, and my take is probably bad from an objective standpoint, however, I just personally enjoyed seeing a perspective capable of treating it that way. The concept of "WWI but with the tone of Fire Emblem" is just so alien that my curiosity overrides my sense of it being inappropriate.

I may not like Hitler, but it just goes to show that even he can see how uniquely bad Trump is.

Wait, didn't you hear the news? The ghost of Hitler endorsed Kamala Harris and she boasted about it on Twitter, supposedly it's going to win over a bunch of moderate Republicans.

It's tempting to give some kind of surreal speech but honestly pretty hard to compete with my first thought which is contacting a bunch of my big donors and telling them that we need to have an emergency meeting in which everyone gathers together in one convenient location.

I almost preferred it when Biden was the nominee because at least then I could shit on him and my friends would all agree. They swapped out the face while keeping everything else the same and people are buying it. Shit sucks.

Yeah, exactly.
