Hey folks! No new episodes yet, unfortunately :( I just want to drop in and let you all know that playing Survive and Portable Ops still make us wish we were dead, so it'll be a bit until we return to those. With that said We did start playing an XCOM 2 drinking game! I know it's been a while but I know a few of you die hards are still following this thread.

And for you folks I'm making this post. Grace and I are going to be together in November, and we promised this exact thing for over two years now, but this time it's serious. I am :toxx:ing myself, if we don't have at least SIX episodes of Revengeance as a backlog by the end of november, it's Donion Rings for me. I'm getting back to Canada on the 28th so give me the extra two days to unpack and upload. By november 30th I'll prove to someone there's a six episode backlog, because if everything works out, we'll have the whole drat LP done this time :colbert: We're not screwing around for once.

In any case check back in a month or so, we might play more Metal Gear before then but honestly XCOM 2 is way more fun than Survive :saddowns: I don't think anyone can judge me for that.

Don't party just yet, I have to clean up some issues since Grace's laptop likes to go "YO gently caress THIS THING" and uninstall the microphone drivers mid-recording.

:toot: The audio in this episode is pretty bad since the elgato software has an option to automatically lower the game audio when we're talking. It doesn't actually do that! I fix it by the next episode, so bear with the game audio overpowering us a bit.

It's going to pay off eventually--I'm sure of it.

Any day now.

Phnom Penh is the capital of Cambodia, where, to simplify things considerably, communist rebels called the Khmer Rouge took an army of peasants, often brainwashed and/or underaged, overthrew the government, and then proceeded to go on a killing spree that was brutal even by Cold War Communist state standards.I figure this guy was meant to be one of those fighters.

Edit: fun fact, since I'm reading a book about this. It was official policy of the Khmer Rouge regime that glasses were a bourgeois pretension which no one truly needed, and wearing them was cause to be tossed in a prison camp.

Maybe "fun" wasn't the right word.

Let's Play Metal Gear Survive Episode 9 - Sad Dog Sounds

Seraphic Neoman

My issue with this section is that it's like seeing an Iraqi refugee who kill American soldiers get lectured about how "well they were just there for the healthcare/education costs!" like...okay? But why would he give a gently caress? These people are the invaders responsible for the incursion. Your lecture rings hollow.
I think this was the point, that Sam knows he's being a hypocrite, he's just trying to gently caress with Raiden (and admittedly he succeeds in making Raiden realize he's a killer) but yeah gently caress them and their high horses.

EDIT: So funny story apparently this moment lowers the ranking necessary for Monsoon's alternate line. Normally if you're lower than S Monsoon says "Do as you please!" but if you do get S he starts to plead "No! Stop! Stop it!" At the end not even he takes his philosophy all the way when he meets the truly strong.

While justified, it's important to remember that your real enemy is the military industrial complex and the capitalists lobbying to keep the Forever War going on (talking about real life more than Revengeance TBH) because they make all their money by making it so the military is the only place a lot of poor and disenfranchised people can turn to to feed their families. I know a lot of gay/trans folks join the military to escape from their abusive and hateful families because that's literally the only escape our capitalist shithole of a society provides them by design.

Like yeah you should absolutely kill the guy trying to put a machete into your head, but once you're safe you should figure out how to kill the capitalist fucko that put the machete in that guy's hand in the first place. He sees both of you as dollar signs on some paper work, not as human lives.

Funny enough I think the only Social Darwinist character I liked was DreadJoker from Megaman Star Force 3 of all places. He genuinely admitted weakness and followed his philosophy to the bitter end. And he even shows up in a dream sequence to encourage Geo to become a true warrior (Geo is a 12 yo boy who in turn tells him to shut the gently caress up, go Geo). Every other character (including ApolloFlame from the same game) of this archetype always turns out to be a hypocrite.
