@lemmygrad.mlI guess I've been pretty lucky and haven't come across any outright fascists in voice chat. Most of the time no one says anything or occasionally I'll hear a "my bad" after someone accidentally cluster bombs our whole squad lol. The worst I've had so far was some guy who didn't know his mic was on and was speaking Spanish to someone in his room the entire match.
I stay far the hell away from the game's subreddit though because it's just full of the people unironically doing the "FOR DEMOCRACY!!!!" thing. It's nuts how thick the game lays on the satire and gamers just recreate that Fallout meme where the point about Liberty Prime is flying over their head while they think "wow!! cool robot!!"
I had a peek at how r/ukraine is coping with the news:
Amazing how many people don’t see the value in what Ukraine just did. They used Avdiivka as a pill box, slaughtered like 20:1 Russians for every Hero. Got as much juice outta that squeeze as possible given the circumstances. No western aid in sight….might as well go down bringing the hell fire and pink mist.
Sound tactical decision for Ukraine. Just like Bakhmut Russia chooses a location and pours all it's resources into it. Then they will sit there for 3-6 months while they replace the bodies they lost. Then they choose a another dumb location and do it all over again.
also there's someone in there advocating for NATO "indirectly entering the war, with Ukraine being its proxy against Ruzzia" as if it's some novel idea and not exactly what's been happening for years lol
Stewart can be funny but he is definitely still a lib. reposting an old comment of mine:
when I was a lib I used to like The Daily Show because it was kinda cathartic to watch them mock conservatives.
However I remember one episode where they were covering a story about students at Berkeley protesting the marines opening up a recruiting office on campus, and basically the entire segment was them shitting on these kids. The students were anti-war and didn’t want the US military recruiting future killers on their campus. The Daily Show even had their news correspondent Rob Riggle (retired marine) interviewing students and trapping them in ridiculous “gotchas” to make them look dumb. It was one of the first moments as a baby leftist where I was like “wait… why are they doing this? those kids are right to not want the military at their school.” And watching this thickneck piece of shit Riggle bully young people who obviously don’t know enough to “debate” him while a camera is shoved in their face was infuriating.
Then later I watched Stewart perform at USO shows in Iraq and Afghanistan (among other places) to entertain these imperialist tools and I just lost any shred of respect I still had for him. He even had that awful “Rally to Restore Sanity” event in D.C. which was effectively a giant centrist circlejerk that accomplished absolutely nothing. I haven’t even paid attention to anything he’s done since but I’m not the least bit surprised that he’s still a dipshit.
also don't ask him about his views on China
during the height of COVID my cousin found out me and the rest of our side of the family got the vaccine and she flipped out, talking about how she doesn't even want to associate with us anymore. like two months before that she told me that making fun of Trump in front of kids was child abuse lol ("he's the president of the united states of america!"). I don't even want to know wtf she's teaching her kids behind closed doors. it really is a cult
I don't have the game (not really into superhero stuff) but from what I understand it's a combination of being repetitive/having barely any content and being a really shameless live service game (battle pass, microtransactions, etc.)
For once I think gamers are (mostly) justified in being mad because this $70 game just isn't very good and pretty openly wants to extract as much money as possible from them
love how the paragraph starting with "Our aim remains to de-escalate tensions" is immediately preceded by a paragraph talking about their air strikes on 36 targets in Yemen
that sub is baffling to me because I cannot comprehend why anyone should care that someone unsubscribed from a page on reddit. like we joke a lot but that is actual terminally online behavior
ya know the last few years I was thinking there's no way Biden would lose to Trump because libs hate the cheeto man too much, but since October I've seen even the more hardcore dem libs I personally know turning on Biden over this shit and have changed my mind
I'm excited to see new stuff from death stranding 2 and that new game from Ken Levine. Also god please give us a release date for silent hill 2 remake
(Trump’s) basic idea that, in a transaction, someone wins and someone loses is the most deeply anti-American, anti-capitalist idea you can possibly have. The idea of winners and losers being said about capitalism is a gross distortion of what that’s supposed to be.
Lol
