Look at that hat, no way that's not a reference to Soviet or Chinese propaganda posters.

Stalin gets a few shoutouts in the show too. I bet it's partly because they just think he's Brutal but it makes me think someone in the production is a traveler.

TRUE

Even streamers who I like in short doses like Hasan can't get through a fifteen minute edited video without saying the same thing five hundred times. It's suitable as background noise, but if I'm listening to a streamer I'd almost always be better off listening to music.

:sicko-yes: me rooting for the advertising bubble to pop and take down all of the largest tech companies with it

:sicko-no: me realizing that the company that will best survive that burst and then expand to fill the power vacuum is Amazon

jfc this is the most boring fucking game I've ever played in my life. It's not fun getting one-shotted by something that you don't know about until after its killed you at least once. There's nothing interesting about worldbuilding that's all made up of intentionally vague YoU hAvE tO fIlL iN tHe BlAnKs YoUrSeLf nonsense. There's nothing noteworthy about weapon upgrades that require you to look up a guide to see what's worth investing materials in and what's not.

And already some of you have doubtlessly gone down to comment "lmao git gud". Motherfucker it's not about difficulty. You know what was a difficult fucking game? Sekiro. That game is hard as balls and I absolutely love it, precisely because its designed in a such a way that it fixes everything about Dark Souls that sucks.

In Dark Souls, every single time you rock up to an enemy, you know exactly how you're going to defeat it. You're going to learn the patterns of its attacks, dodge at the appropriate time, and hit it in the intervals between. This is interesting once, but doing it over and over again for fifteen bosses is boring, repetitive bullshit.

In Sekiro they fixed this. Instead of literally just dodging every single attack, you have a dozen different defensive options that you have to learn and apply to different attacks. Instead of knowing how every single enemy encounter is going to go down, you have a bunch of different ninja tools that have different effects that you can experiment with.

And yet the geniuses of the gaming sphere all bashed their head cavities together and decided that SEKIRO was the bad one. The best game in the whole fucking genre, now sidelined because these morons confused a repetitive grind for difficulty. And as a result Elden Ring, which was supposed to be the masterpiece of the whole thing, is just another bland endurance test.

It's a funny rant by Brace Belden on the TrueAnon podcast. He's trying to get across how far away from an actual socialist revolution our society is.

You could alternately see it as an Elon Musk-type figure selling the town of Springfield a gadgetbahn when they could have solved their problem with a regular bus or train for half the price and double the reliability.

...but the average viewer probably interpreted it as being anti public transit.

IDK the numbers for East Germany, bu I do know that the richest Soviets were only something like six times wealthier than the average citizen. The perks for high level officials of having a nice housing bloc and a private store are so minor compared to what the rich in America can expect - nevermind the fact that nobody in that system was born into a high level Party position. Though some western propagandists will argue that Stalin "owned" the entire Soviet state when he was in charge of it, and therefore calculate that he was the richest man in history.

Texas will someday go from 51/49 to 49/51 and it will suddenly become the libs' favorite state.

What's worse, an epic girlboss movie funded by the DoD or one that's funded by the IDF?

I don't know that I would call the movie they were forced to make after everyone hated their original ending the "proper" one. More like the "you fucking assholes want more? are you sure about that?" ending.
