This person had a long history of saying terrible stuff. Like borderline fash stuff. Homophobia etc.

Dark souls 1 had good lore and then they just did the same exact story 3 times in a row. One of the most disappointing things about the sequels.

K this is prob gonna get me some looks but one of my fav NES games I own is "North & South" (Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CT1xuEEvRu4)

Which is almost exactly what it sounds like... A simple sort of strategy game with minigame pvp platforming sections and a primitive RTS style overhead battle system.

Really bizarre for a NES game to have several different gameplay modes that all are kind of good tbh.

Awful premise for a game casually "both sidesing" slavery. Even when I was a kid and saw it at the video store in the early 90's I was like "That's kinda messed up isn't it?".

Eventually my older brother rented it and yeah. Fun game. Please don't judge me too harshly.

I have no idea why people would say cumtown is leftist at all... it isn't, its a podcast about dick jokes and how funny it is to say the N word as a white person. There are funny bits, Adam and Stav seem like genuinely good dudes but I'm convinced Nick is a sociopath, and that his "joking" racism isn't all that joking.

They got big by being friends with Chapo. That's the only reason they pop up in leftist circles.

Yeah honestly if the guy looked poor I wouldn't have held it against him too much but he was clearly middle class white dude that was doing fine.

Worked at a grocery store for a while where we sold cheese sliced off those big wheels. Watched a cool dude in the deli almost get fired because he put a price tag on a wheel to display the price per pound - but in the corner of the sticker he had rang it as a like .1 lb slice just to give an example of the per pound price. Some insufferable boomer walked up and demanded the whole wheel at like the price of the .1lb tag or whatever.

Management freaked out on the kid and gave the boomer the cheese for less than a dollar - which is asinine... this isn't like a false advertising situation... the cheese clearly says X.XX$ PER POUND. Entitled boomer walked away with like 200$ worth of cheese and almost got a kid fired.

Radicalizing moment for sure.

Those bigass wheels of cheese are expensive too if you were to buy one

That sounds a lot like my internal monologue, I was never abused but I was neglected.

I appreciate you sharing this because it really helps those of us with similar issues to feel like we're not completely alone.

Hope you can find some peace comrade.

Played thru halo 1 and 2 on legendary in the master chief collection a few months ago and it was just as fun if not more fun than the first time in the 2000s. Amazing games to this day fun all the way through.

Halo 1 and 2 are my favorite shooters ever. AI and gameplay FAR beyond anything else at the time including Half-Life 2 which IMO is overrated. That's not even considering the multiplayer.

Wolfenstein: The New Order deserves a mention as well for putting single player shooters back on the map. Incredible game not afraid to push the envelope.

Thanks to another commentator I realized that Disco Elysium counts for this category and absolutely has to get my vote. Dark Souls is solidly second place.

There has never been a game yet that has the massive fucking balls of Disco Elysium. Imagine releasing a game about substance abuse, mental illness, and communism to critical AND mass market appeal.

Think about how many games don't bother to say ANYTHING at all. And then there's Disco.

Holy shit I thought that was a bit the entire time. The old subs influence was massive, the way we went out paired with the sacrificial banning of an already dead /r/donald sub always rubbed me the wrong way.

Hella glad to be out of reddit's clutches. Viva chapo.chat!

 

Its becoming clear that China is on track to match or overtake the USA as a global superpower. Since like half of our economy is based on Chinese imports - is there even anything the bourgeoisie / military / intelligence agencies can do about it? Do you think we're going to move more towards conflict or is China going to pimp slap us and tell us to know our role or they won't make any iphones for us or whatever.

Real conflict seems very unlikely but there are psychos like John Bolton who will refuse to accept that USA isn't numba 1 anymore.
