I don't buy that whole "conservative dickheads" theory. 76 showed the world was all green and happy yet 20 years in, then the residents started launching nukes at each other for the luls.

That's what ended the world. War with China is clearly a vault tec conspiracy

Oh wow I can't believe a Bethesda Fallout completely missed the point the original games are trying to make.

ok, skyrim might seem "trad" if you just look at it for exactly 1 second and don't think about anything. It could very vaguely seem like some sort of idealized alternate reality past sort of thing. It's idk, not really pushing much of an ideology. You can decide to do whatever, up to a certain point, it isn't anything super substantial, it really isn't that much

Whoever said Morrowind is insane. Is this based on Dagoth Ur memes? This game is p much entirely about the obliteration of the status quo and irrevocable permanent destruction of like 5000 years of in-setting cultural traditions. I think it was at least partially written on illegal hallucinogens and / or a severe, medically-dangerous bender. It depicts a conservative society that's in the process of being destroyed. Unless you completely disregard the main quest you have a strong hand in doing it lol

rimworld i do utopian communes every time lol

i just keep seeing other ones on there that are -- this is just -- man -- the dude -- lol this is dumb enough to be real i spent more effort on this post than was needed

its games where you can kill things. thats it. that is how much anyone who describes themselves as a 'conservative gamer' is thinking about it.

I mean it's not like conservative people are known for internalizing the messaging and subtext.

Most conservative types like Bethesda games because you can mod yourself to be a fascist super soldier and subjugate [minority]. The rest I chalk up to semi-dangerous dorks who think they're the "good guy with the gun."

Zelda is the weird one to me. I don't really catch any relevant political messaging from a right or left wing perspective from Ocarina of Time without some pretty generous interpretation. Unless Ganondorf is supposed to be antifa or something?

I think some of these are just really popular and well-liked games so they wanted to claim them to make conservatism cool by association.

So while other people have mentioned more obvious ones, the one that stumps me the most here is Silent Hill 3 and makes me think the whole list at that point is either fake or AI generated or something. That and Killzone 2. Really weird picks from series.

It's a really, terribly, honestly terrible photo but I once stayed in a house in Bend, OR, with a bunch of people and we found a "trap door" type hatch in the kitchen of the place. It led down to a cellar that the owner had told us to not try to enter. That cellar was ALL black widow spiders and their nests or egg sacs or whatever. It's hard to tell but the walls were crawling with them.

When you entered the cellar you were specifically told not to enter; what did you expect the ideal outcome to be?

Conservatives will co-opt and corrupt anything, if it means they gain something from it. They don't care about being blatant hypocrites, and dunking on them for it is a gigantic waste of time. Despite this, liberals love to pat themselves on the back and huff their own farts chuckling at how ~foolish~ those conservatives are being, teehee.
