Yes, and I'm asking you a hypothetical question

Okay, well, real answer:

I've never really seen Cap as either an environmentalist, or particularly political. I don't think Cap would care too much about the pipeline itself one way or the other. What he would care about is whether people are being treated wrongly. If he saw people being kept in dog kennels without bedding for any reason, he'd bust em the gently caress out and probably make a big speech about how the last time saw something like it, it was Nazis doing it.

But I honestly don't read a lot of captain America, so this is just my uninformed impression.

Anyone have recommendations on Battlefield 1 vs. Titanfall 2? I'm itching for a non-Overwatch FPS to play.

This would probably be an easier decision if I'd played any previous Battlefield game or the first Titanfall, but I actually haven't.

An episode where it turns out all the characters are only people in vr. They are dogs in real life and they forgot they were dogs. When the vr internet goes down, they have to figure out how to be dogs again.

So I've heard, and maybe the fast-paced combat and mechs would be more fun for me than Battlefield's style, at least right now. The mechs definitely seem like a ton of fun.

10/10 episode, prescient and satirical

Actually that sounds kind of adorable, the figuring-out-how-to-dog-again part, I'd watch it.

Blizzard is adding the entirety of Diablo 1 to Diablo 3 for free in the next patch.

WIRED was good for many years, pretty much right up until around 2000 (which is some kind of irony...)

AdBusters was good... wait no, AdBusters has never been GOOD, but there was a time it was LESS BAD.

I read a great book of WWII-era politoons once, and those guys would not let up on how much of a weeny Mussolini was. Here is one about western politicians desperately trying to not get involved in WWII while THE LATENT POWER OF DEMOCRACY looks on in disappointment:

How do you think Captain America would feel about the Dakota Access Pipeline?

Back before Quesada took over as editor in chief, Captain America comics regularly addressed current political issues and took unpopular stances on them as well if the writer felt it was right. Quesada was convinced appealing to horrible right wingers would boost comic sales so he repeatedly nixed that kinda thing, and Marvel Studios took an even broader approach to things, essentially stripping the character of anything more political than "Nazis are bad."

Chapter 2 wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't built a base that was really hard to get around with. The boss fight was actually pretty easy with the Falcon Blade and the ring that increases Critical Hit rate, I only had to knock him down 3 times.
