Nah, they’ve always been selling it as map data. And I still 100% believe the NSA is involved

Disney removes your legal right to dislike things

I need to hear more about these translation errors he just throws out there in a single line.

That’s fair.

I DEMAND EQUAL OPPORTUNITY OBJECTIFICATION IN VIDEO GAMES

NO /S

Except some aces here and there, for the homies to talk about books with.

You’d think, but there’s actually a pretty big subgenre for fascists in space.

They changed it but you could always just have them as definitely-not-Nazis.

You’re misunderstanding the argument, but that’s just the nature of brief forum exchanges.

Think of it as a continuous depiction of the Nazis as hyper-competent or full of geniuses unintentionally playing into the supremacy narrative, even when Joe Everyman is gunning them down. I don’t agree that Wolfenstein is pro-Nazi but it is a factor in public perception that creators need to consider when repeated in a hundred different games or movies.

Even just repeating things like “At least Mussolini made the trains run on time” plays into it, especially when it’s a lie, just like the Wunderwaffe programs or the Nazi “miraculous economic recovery” which was just making people work longer hours and deficit spending.

Well, that or America not electing FDR in 1936.

G*mer moments used to be private affairs shared between strangers in a CoD lobby, like God intended, now these kids stream them, smh.

Divided and conquered.

I think it actually reveals a pretty foundational aspect of the neoliberal viewpoint, that “providing jobs,” no matter exploitative they are, or how corrupt the industry is, is a fundamental good.

Yes, Vader is literally the person who froze Han in carbonite, to test the process to make sure it would be safe for Luke. He then gave Han to Boba Fett to turn in for Jabba’s bounty.

I don’t think the picture is anyone getting confused about who Darth Vader is.

I’m not sure if that’s a joke or not.

Oh, good. I was about to give in to weakness and spend money on Space Marine 2.

They’re pretty easy to counter in Rome 2, you just need to remember it’s necessary and not all-in on heavy infantry. Infantry skirmishers clap them right back to the steppes and there are good auxiliary cavalry options from the start available in Italy.

I definitely remember being frustrated when I first played it trying to chase them around with legionaries but the correct answer is don’t do that then.

Also because they were absurdly expensive for the civilizations that were using them. The loss of their chariots to Sea People invasions and the cost of replacing them is sometimes listed among the reasons for the Bronze Age collapse of the Hittites and the decline of Egypt despite their battlefield victories.

Fucking Parthian tryhards
