You love killing babies.

Buzzkill mode but wouldn't the upcharge be for additional processing/handling and potentially additional storage demands and requirements?

Its the putting being charged for, not the air.

This is the white people spicy of "cooking" about Batman lol.

I think they very deliberately present a spectrum of different representatives of "Communism" with all of them clashing in how much revolutionary prestige they have, how much theory they read, how much they actually do, how open they are etc.

So you get the old communard who would clearly have the most pure theory and revolutionary prestige, but has basically devolved into the Disco Elysium definition of a Fascist due to the butchering of the revolution and the reactionary wave that followed, the students who don't actually do any actions because they are obsessed about arriving at a pure revolutionary theory first and purging deviations, and then you have what could be seen as "mutual aid" or "community policing" in the Hardy Boys, and Evrart whos doing drug trafficking and other criminal activities to fuel an actual uprising of some sorts.

So you're invited to try and think critically about which of these is good and useful for "the movement".

They only really make fun of communists "the most" in the sense that it's the difference between constant mostly friendly teasing and occasional genuine disdain, but at the end of the day Communism is the only ideology presented in the game as fostering hope for the future and having an actual plan to make things better, to an almost satirical extent given that you genuinely will a physically impossible miniature construct to stand upright for a brief moment.

Meanwhile Fascism is so pathetic that the most empathetic part of its portrayal is that it kind of functions more as self harm to Harry, with him apparently willing himself into facial paralysis and brain damage by the end of the Fascism quest, Ultraliberalisms representatives are rabid death squad mercenaries and the woman who partially hired them, who in this context becomes extremely menacing as a closeted bourgeois nationalist, and Moralism is the people who kill everyone who ever wanted something better for the world, to which Harry is so completely removed from that power that if he becomes a Moralist he just fucking spouts complete bureaucratic gibberish like hes citing scripture.

Finally, in regards to AI, the belief among those polled was that AI could replace human localizations and translations within the next 12-24 months.

Yeah throw a separate underapprechiated and extremely exploited workforce under the under the bus instead, fucking asshole morons. How can you talk about "premium games" if the premium experience doesn't fucking involve the artistic touch of a writer in your own language actually translating it?

Man, Silent Hill 2 Remake looks kind of fucking rancid, the combat looks in relative terms exactly as bad as the originals were for its time, only now it happens with a more annoying camera angle and you have to press more buttons.

It seems like the game GTFO might be as close to a modern take on this kind of Coop game as exists right now, it's first person but you have 4 survivors who typically have to coordinate stealth movement in order to conserve resources, delegate tasks and defense duty, coordinate via voice chat etc.

Good bit but it should akshually be named something like "Radio Free Humanity", since the real radio stations are named after what they are trying to "free."

There's no Radio Free USA for example, though you could call it Voice of Zerg.

You know, in regards to persistent food discourse, I really think that if you have a definition of "washing" food that universally means rinse with water and potentially brush it too, but in one specific case where that would be bad it actually means "soak in acidic liquid mixture, potentially with salt and other seasonings, and actually the main purpose is to tenderize and for flavor", that's on you if people hear you call that washing and assume you're rinsing the stuff and spreading bad goo in the sink and other places of the kitchen.

To be fair here, it doesn't really resolve the critique over if the character is using transphobic signalling and stereotypes in order to signal disgust and horror to the viewer, which is a critique I've seen elsewhere.

I've seen a specific scene pointed to where the villain is shopping at a pharmacy or other similar store and a child points at him and goes "that creepy man is here again" followed by the villain screaming in rage in his car.

His dad is just some asshole basically, you gotta put some effort in and have some charisma to indoctrinate a kid, Shinjis is basically a big walking billboard that he'd do anything for some verbal approval and a pat on the back and his dads too stubborn and dumb to even pick up on that being the clear play.
