despite using a picture with 2 different races in the enemy force

Much to unpack here

Imagine calling ethnic cleansing "cartoonishly evil" when it's a thing that's repeatedly happened throughout history

[–] mamotromico@lemmy.ml 17 points 10 months ago

And is being transmitted as it happen right in this moment.

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 16 points 10 months ago

Literally ongoing right now as well

The religious right = literal fascists?

Yeah astronaut-1

[from one of the games reviews]

Imagine a game set in a Discworld Universe that evolved to early 21st century. With writing quality, dry wit and poignant moments almost on par with legendary Terry Pratchett's writings.

goddamnit i don't even like tactics games but this makes me want to play it

The devs are brilliant. They've had a string of incredible games that don't miss. I haven't played tbw yet but one of their previous games, heat signature, is a masterpiece of sand box tactical fucking around to do the coolest shit possible. One time i did an assassination mission by teleporting past all the guards, blowing out the window with a shotgun, and ejecting everyone in to space. Then the teleporters quirk kicked in - after a few seconds it returned you to your point of origin, so i was safely back inside the ship while the target and their guards floated through the deep black.

Heat sig is such an awesome game, one of the rare cases where I just got immediately hooked the moment I saw the trailer

A few funny broken strats:
Mission targets are always swappable even when not on the ship so you can do assassinations by flying next to a ship, stepping out of your pod into space, and then just swap places with your target (also works for rescue and capture, but you need to then quickly grab the target with your pod)

Hijacking another ship is pretty goofy, since you can actually use the guns, i.e. if you're doing a hard mission you can just hijack an easier allied ship and blast down your target or even detach rooms for stealing missions etc

Traps are broken as hell, basically you can throw a trap, teleport it back to you and then deploy it. It'll keep the momentum it had while being thrown so you can basically just throw active traps (hint: use glitch traps)

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 3 points 10 months ago

I had no idea about the traps, that's awesome!

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 2 points 10 months ago

Damn, shenanigans sound dope

First protagonist is a Navy Seer, presumably leading Seer Team Six

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 3 points 10 months ago

I love tactics games and this sounds sick

"The nazis can't be fascists. They have some Jewish and Slavic honorary aryan friends."

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 16 points 10 months ago

The nazis can't be nazis because the death camps have conscripted some inmates to watch over the other inmates! morshupls

I've enjoyed world news a lot up to and including the end of history, but each day the media is getting progressively more extreme in it's representation of the IDF. At this point the scales have been tipped all the way to "cartoonishly evil" by claiming they commit "ethnic cleansing" (despite Palestinian being an ideology and not an ethnicity) and then also throwing "literal fascists" over "religious right".

If there was a bit more restraint, I wouldn't even be making this post. At this point, just throw armbands on the IDF and put little windmills on them.

by claiming they commit "ethnic cleansing"

The thing that is actually happening is unacceptable for the treatbrain to accept as reality! point-and-laugh-1point-and-laugh-2

[–] citrussy_capybara@hexbear.net 11 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

to be clear, it’s not a transcription of the OP, but used it as a base and substituted the game words for current event words

original is confessing “i have no media literacy” “why are these curtains blue? evil curtains need to be red with a white circle around a swastika or i can’t understand the parallels being insinuated”

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 9 points 10 months ago

My mistake there, then. I'll edit accordingly.

[–] bunnygirl@hexbear.net 19 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Wait when the hell did Tactical Breach Wizards release

I thought it wasn't even in development anymore lmao

Thursday the 22nd, it's been out just over a week.

[–] bunnygirl@hexbear.net 5 points 10 months ago

yooo I totally missed it

[–] TechnoUnionTypeBeat@hexbear.net 10 points 10 months ago

Couple of days ago actually, super recent

[–] mamotromico@lemmy.ml 14 points 10 months ago

Seem like a decent game then

[–] sharkfucker420@hexbear.net 8 points 10 months ago

"cartoonishly evil" - compares them to very real evil that existed and committed a genocide

[–] ZeroHora@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

The guy is just the normal game brain: "I hate modern politics" but when you look at the posts this moron make is always about THE EVIL WOKE CULTURE KILLING GAMES.
