Warhammer 40k is the embodiment of the "eat the bugs, live in the pod, own nothing" lifestyle that every right-wing guy freaks out about and yet they all love the concept and want to live on a hive world or some poo poo.

Surely, you wouldn't think about restricting their speech, would you? Such a thing would be wholly unconscionable.

On an unrelated note, implying that Palestinians are human beings on X will get you banned and put on a watch list.

I'm going to choose to parse this, despite compelling evidence suggesting other interpretations, as a complaint about how liberals don't understand that capitalism degrades into fascism

the helldivers 2 politics discourse that i've seen seems to mostly just be Gamers getting mad at the idea that there is any kind of political statement in a game that opens with this:



and then continues with a tutorial where the player character runs through a fully automated training facility filled with the corpses of other recruits while some pre recorded lines continuously tell them how good and powerful they are before they're labeled as cargo and launched into space to go serve aboard a spaceship named the SES Moms for Family Values or something

I don't know if it's just the algo deciding I need to see unusually dumb takes today or if they're really just saturating gaming social media but there's some real fuckin dumb takes about Starship Troopers floating around all over the place. I think it's especially funny to me because Verhoeven stated explicitly that whenever he felt like people didn't see that he was mocking fascism and Nazis specifically, he would double down, to the point of having Neil Patrick Harris appear in full SS regalia. I literally do not understand what the issue here is, of course it's not like the book the book loving sucked it was just Heinlein trying to square the circle of being both fascist and libertarian, which is why the movie was mocking it. Until now actual fash have just appreciated it without reflecting on it at all because they see thing they like and thing they like make happy.

I'm probably days late on this, Twitter is awful even for bored scrolling now.

that's the other thing, I get that they think they'd be nobility or space marines, but the former are all decadent freaks that usually turn to Chaos gods out of boredom and the latter will likely die getting torn apart by a lowly Tyranid clone or some poo poo.

Unlike real life where the upper class sex perverts face no ironic justice, a solid argument for 40K setting being a more just world.

rogue trader mega patch dropped today. I'm disappointed to read that the only additional va was for the prologue (already the most va-intensive segment) and the party blurbs as you run around. still, the balancing seems sensible and I'm glad to read there's more reactivity. they also dropped the reputation requirements for the vendors significantly

it's estimated that you can now fully upgrade two of them, plus the navy of course since they scale off a different resource set

Its just a book, not every book is political. I know you only read the communist manifesto or kapital but some of us read normal books for the story like hardy boys or bible.

well, capital is a story. it's the story of class struggle. it's the story of numbers getting bigger and smaller. it's a story about how coats require a certain amount of linen, which inspired lenin

I wanted anime so I resubscribed to Ff14. I have Endwalkers to do. Currently in the account archeology stage of reorienting.

First task: button checks and inn room maintenance. Had to look at loot and gear, identify abandoned project, and clear space in bags. I didn't log off in an inn room, so I was robbed of the "getting out of bed animation". I was in some new India themed zone. I instinctually pressed Return button and hearthstone back home, then navigated 3 screens to get to the inn room where I logged off and on to see a little animation of my character yawning and getting into bed.

Second task: land navigation. There's 4 screens in between the inn room and the guildhall. Once there I poke at things, appreciate the space, then shake the rust off my fingers with the Training Dummies. The summoner rotation is silly, but I was able to remember the basic shape and rhythm. My fingers are too slow to weave in the aetherflow stacks, but that'll come back by week 2 I'm sure. Then I navigated back to indialand to get an elephant lady with a posh britosh Indian accent some gallbladder stones. I have no idea what the gently caress was happening.

Third task: there is an object in the inn room that looks like a book and is called "The Unending Journey" that provides general notes and replays cutscenes. This is that anime good poo poo.

The inn theme music YouTube video I used for nap time got copyright struck. I had to go to the source to record an hour long loop.

Also, out of all of the MMOs it is the most patient mmo for afkers.

felt. I resub every two years or so and have to look up what insanely complex rotation is in vogue now and spend ages actually getting it down. not helped at all by the fact i play mostly MNK because i am incredibly stupid like the idea of punching big monsters to death
