In fairness, it means "Twilight of the Gods" and is a fancy byword for apocalypse. Funny thing is that the word is commonly associated with Nazi Germany's downfall in the last days of the war before Addy made his greatest contribution to humanity in the Fuhrerbunker.

Ironically, it was lifted straight from Richard Wagner's concluding musical act on the Nibelungenlied, which German nationalists used to evoke the "stab in the back" myth (specifically Siegfried's betrayal at the hands of Hagen).

 

Dmitri, get the Pe-2s

On the plus side, you can avenge Rosa and Karl by turning Germany communist.

Songs of Conquest has been something I've been eye-ing but idk. Maybe someone here who has played it can get back to me.

The enemy operates like Orks in W40K where killing the Warboss causes them to all turn on each other very-intelligent

This one NPC has more personality than entire holds in Skyrim.

I assume the light red indicates coups as opposed to outright military invasions (but even then, there should be a lot more of that in that case).

Also, border conflicts aside, China literally invaded Vietnam for the crime of overthrowing their puppet butcher in Cambodia. It also invaded South Korea, regardless of how justified that was or wasn’t. Not sure why that’s omitted since it’s still a massive discrepancy between China and the US.

I’ve never felt the need to watch a game stream until now.

Temple of Dibella, you mean? Or maybe you meant the Witch Covens.

People liked SAII for the "gritty" story but honestly I remember III the most for just going off the rails in a way that was unique from GTA.

Game was a lot more ambitious (and lewd) on the drawing board. There used to be a "Prostitutes" faction that was canned (alongside other minor factions representing professions that the player could engage in, like Bards and such) but the sprites (NSFW ofc) were left in the final release in random locations just because. Some of them made sense (like in Inns and Temples of Dibella) but others were... just there.

I still love the Daggerfall we got (the later versions cleaned up on UESP and released in Unity particular) but I sometimes wonder about what could have been.

 

You, cringe petit-bourgeois liberal: I hope the Polish Home Army kills more Nazis

Me, well-versed in theory and understanding that it’s wrong to wish death on goose-stepping class traitor proletarian foot soldiers of settler-colonialism: okay fascist

If you loved FEAR or the newer Wolfenstein games like I did, you'll likely enjoy Selaco too. It takes after those games the most (and even bits of other 2000s FPSs like Half-Life 2) despite getting labelled as a "boomer shooter", being chock-full of secrets/references and running on GZDoom.

The base price of 25 USD might seem a bit steep for an indie title and the game is still in EA, but this is the rare case where you'll get your money's worth in my opinion. The now-released first act (pre-update) is clearly an indicator that the overall design, gameplay loop and vision for the game has been nailed down to a T even if they still semi-regularly update it to tweak it further. From the updates, it also seems they actually have a plan for the next two acts to be released by this century (2025 and 2026 respectively).

That all being said, the story elements (beyond visual story-telling and logs/emails) have been left out for now and there's a big story update coming in by the end of the year so you can also hold off until then.

Here's a review

 

Tsar Pogromas II may have enforced the Pale of Settlement and directed massacres of Jews at such a rate that even other European powers, themselves virulently antisemitic, were condemning Russia, but compared to the later Soviets who committed the heinous crime of opposing my cherished Bantustan settler-colony and supporting Palestinian statehood, he was a saint!

Damn, maybe he shouldn't have entered the war then lenin-laugh

Doesn't take too long to find her ranting about "self-hating Jews" either, because of course. The cream on top is that she's also a Shahist Iranian Gusano, living in ukkk no less, so this is pretty tame compared to what usually comes out of their mouths.

IDK, maybe when more people here are getting screwed over, libs will radicalize and get off their asses instead of trying to guilt us for not giving legitimacy unconditionally to their favorite “lesser evil” bourgeois party.

Of course, using their meager leverage to extract concessions from the people supposedly representing them never crosses their minds…

Also imagine having the audacity to call us privileged when you see what’s going on in Gaza as a “single issue” instead of an escalation of violence by the ruling class that can and will go back to us.

Violence to uproot a US-backed dictatorship which shoves dissidents into mass graves every other week? Unacceptable and unnatural.

Violence to assist an ethnonationalist settler colonial project in eliminating resistance in the ghetto they shoved the indigenous population into for the past 75 years? What violence? Simply is a natural process.

Not even getting into the violence the American state used to entrench itself during its own revolution (against royalists, natives, farmers who want to pay less taxes like the Whiskey Rebellion) and, today, wages abroad and on its own citizens every other day (poverty, imprisonment, police brutality) to maintain itself.

Remember, the “hypocrisy” is the point when it comes to defending Empire. Deep down, they simply believe it’s a team sport.

Is it normal for communists to feel as dismally about the people of their own country as I do now?

OOTL: Protests happen outside of synagogues holding sale of stolen Palestinian land. MSM outlets, right and “left”, react predictably. This was under a post pointing it out.

On the ad itself, I can’t help but wonder what goes through the hollow skull of a thin-blue-like MAGA hog who thinks ~~the Jews~~ George Soros is funding “antisemitism” while also controlling the Democrats bending over backwards for Israel because… reasons.

For those of you who have been hearing about Selaco for the past few weeks: yes, it's as good as people keep saying it is, though YMMV since it's very much tailored towards people who like 90s/00s shooters and immersive sims (and modern indie games in the same vein). That said, it's oozing inspiration from other games like through atmosphere and music (Halo ODST, Resident Evil, etc), which all fit its somber tone relative to the usual boomer shooter fare.

I could also say it plays like a more agile Wolfenstein TNO with ImSim elements which hits all the right notes for me.

 

There are few beings as Hitler particle dense as a Finnish or Eastern European NAFOid who bemoans Ruzzian imperialism but firmly aligns with NATO and Israel. Also includes current “pro-democracy” Georgians.
