ehh. no offence but thats the moviebob fallacy. some like shooters sure, but most of the stuff weird old RPGs or weird weeb poo poo and hate most modern gaming(AAA/indie/whatever) because casuals/"politics"/whatever. for example they hate battlefield one because their are colonial soldiers in it but yeah the definitely hate the former.

i'm just riffing off the wildly virulent hatred for games like gone home, but maybe they're cool with walking sims as long as no gays allowed

i am mixed on walking sims. gone home is great because you actually have to piece the story together with the environment. what sucks is a decent of walking sims don't do that at all. its just stupid bullshit like what chinese room makes. walk slowly and have the authors terrible writing shoved down your throat because they think they are super brainy. like sunset is honestly one of the worst games i have ever played. its not interesting or fun and its premise is awsome but instead of being interesting, its just the author throwing their "radical" politics at you non stop for an several hours with no cleverness or nuance or tact. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZly6bW3UMk if you want a walking sim, play gone home, that weird art horror game or stanely parable or firewatch or any good ones.

Everyone in firewatch talks like a joss whedon character.

Right now nothing seems to be particularly good at countering the alt right. They keep running circles around anyone who goes after them.

The secret is they all resort to extreme politics to get that instant peer group and feeling of validation and being in the smart crowd. And that peer group will protect and promote their works no matter how stupid they are until they fail some cultural purity test and get ripped apart by their 'friends'.

The difference is the left wing derps are mostly harmless nerds who write about queering spaces and preserving the cultural integrity of sushi, while the right wing derps want to put people in camps and take away rights. Both are eye rollingly stupid, but only one of them (in general) wants to inflict actual harm on their fellow humans.

i'm not gonna dismiss the idea out of hand but i do hear 'the alt-right are changing the world with their advanced meme warfare' claimed far more often than i see it demonstrated

trump won on the basis of aging whites who don't know what a 'meme' is, and the far right is gaining traction because of the incompetence and cruelty of the contemporary centre. null hypothesis about cartoon frogs is surely that they're just the contingent manifestation of the politics produced by these forces.

middle-aged journos in 2017 write articles about those crazy internet kids changing the world with frog memes, in 2007 they were writing about this hot new phenom 'second life' that's changing the world with cyber

both are part of something important but in themselves embarrassing footnotes

Yeah, it's more that people voted Trump out of desperation than level 20 Dark Irony Wizards meme magicking reality. Post election, pretty much any time someone from the alt-right gets too close to popular culture, popular culture rears back like it was burned and someone hops out to literally or figuratively clobber them back into obscurity, which (for now) contradicts the idea that they're winning any kind of culture war worth waging. The DNC did more to get Trump elected than fashy dweebs.

The real problem is Trump listens to & surrounds himself with different, more successful, fashy dweebs and- at least a portion of the time- when his lovely old man brain gets bored and decides it's time to pivot, one of them is there to feed him their ideas.

I don't know anything about Donna Hylton's activism since she was released from prison, but she and several other accomplices definitely kidnapped & murdered an old real estate broker - after sodomizing him with a pole.

she was probably more of an accessory to the crime than any sort of active participant (and there's speculation she was being abused by one of the primary perpetrators)

yeah pretty much. some of walking sims are just weird wank fests to whatever woke poo poo the game designer likes and thats it. the problem isnt the content, its the fact they don't know what to do and its probably because most of these people arnt as creative as the pretend they are and hide behind the "smart" crowd. like yoko taro has alot of the same opinions as these people(too much pointless violence in games, tired tropes in various games, etc) , but he can at least make good/okish games. the alt right just makes lovely memes and poo poo games like hatred or other dumb flash/unity poo poo.

it's sorta odd because it's not that difficult to attend a WH press briefing. see goyal. or alternatively, it's not difficult to get comment from the WH as a reporter. you just email or call them up and ask your question. it's just that no one watched or cared before the trump WH turned it into a circus, so the lauren southerns are now using their presence there as a way of boosting themselves.

is she going to move to D.C. and sit in press briefings every day for four or eight years? there are other pro-WH outlets that will but :shrug:
