It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I was under the impression we have to wait at least a few years after a war ends to consume media about it. They also advertise "real world military regiments" as a feature. I wonder if this will include certain fascist regiments?

Just browsing their Discussion forums reveals some reallly questionable comments from the devs (CW: violence):

US Army twitch streamers will be dispatched to stream the game 24/7. Zelensky will also ask Langley to pump the numbers up so it looks like the game is always full, and the reason why loading time takes so long is because so many players are definitely playing

Daily reminder that there is absolutely nothing stopping Slava Ukraini tough guys from picking up a gun and running off the Ukraine to fight

Glory to the Heroes set in the Russian-Ukrainian war is a tactical single-player and multiplayer first-person shooter with an immersive experience involving many kinds of different military units and vehicles, where the action is happening in the real-world locations of actual battles.

That entire sentence is cursed with bloodthirsty neoliberal brainworms

I'm sure that this generic looking military shooter is going to really stand out amongst all other generic looking military shooters

A+ job devs, keep it up and you'll get to make a 2 minute chunk of the next Call O' Duty

I don't know why they don't just ask Blizzard to make a Ukraine themed call of duty, especially since their MW reboot brings back Makrov who is a maniacal Russian ultranationalist who wants to bring back the USSR

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

Like a lot of things around this war, it exists mainly as a grift

their MW reboot brings back Makrov

I was stunned by the trailer. They really are rebooting the whole trash MW2 story? Fuck.

Also half the story reveal trailer is a visual homage to the Nordstream bombings and nobody is picking up on that lol.

How many people here are good enough at programming to create a bunch of hacks for this game and/or DDOS? If we succeed, we finally get recognition from the media for being the first FSB forum in English

Our Soros funding is fighting our SeeSeePee funding which is fighting our FSB funding ooooooooooooooh

The best way to combat Russian disinformation is by gloating about doing what Russians say you do

"Vast, beautifully designed real-world locations"

It's going to be a crossroad with rubble and mud surrounding it, and the moment you get spotted, a dozen shells land on your head.
