calling Lenin ditzy is fascist, and i think that's nonsectarian. anyone that's got a problem with that can meet me in the hardee's parking lot at 9 pm and i'll fight ya

[–] JustSo@hexbear.net 25 points 5 days ago

I'mma pull up. But not to fight just to drink and watch you beat ass.

[–] Yukiko@hexbear.net 31 points 5 days ago

is this waht people mean when they tell me to read thoery

[–] Alunyanners@lemmygrad.ml 30 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (3 children)

i've looked through the screenshots/artwork before, and as a lesbian himejoshi ML this feels kinda blasphemous.

not because it's yuri or the fact that stalin and lenin are cute girls; but because how stalin and lenin have been portrayed as a character.

for one, i feel like it should be the other way around - stalin falling for lenin, since that's what happened historically. stalin followed lenin. not the opposite.

also spoilers but (CW: Mentions of Han-ing)one of the CGs involve "stalin" hanging "lenin" in a room full of other hanged women... for whatever reason... really repeating the lie that "stalin killed gajillions for funnies"

.

i like how the girls look, but honestly it just feels like they just made random ahhh girls, slapped the lenin-stalin name onto them, threw in a bunch of surface-level commie shit that libs think commies do and called it a day.

like, this is how i expect a female lenin to look like, not whatever that is.

hell even this one feels more accurate.

source

.

one might argue that "it's not that deep", but i really wish people put a bit more effort before portraying historical figures and settings, to be at least a bit more accurate, instead of just making random girls with random traits and deciding "yup, they're lenin/stalin" somehow, despite having little connection other than the fact that they just read communist manifesto (and no other commie theory) all day and that they're wearing soviet-inspired uniforms... for some reason. even though i never seen lenin wear that ever.

And that still make this one of the most ambitious games ever made in genre.

this is what a one small part of me in my mind palace labyrinth is saying in midst of the storm of pure psychic energies of the warp that's wracking me noggin still. Like if you're gonna make something absolutely brainrotting, at least make it accurate!

edit: also jesus fucking christ that first spoiler, whoever made this should skip start and pokemon go straight to the gulag

you're probably joking, but i'd actually love to see "brainrot material" that's actually accurate (esp. historically) and well thought-out for once. such things make for quality shitpost among your typical shitposts.

lol literally what i thought when I saw this for the first time and digged a little deeper. mf needs to be re-educated fr.

[–] hexbee@hexbear.net 13 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Sounds like this game is on the Grimes level of communist

[–] Alunyanners@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

afraid i didn't understand what you meant ^^; /genq, nm

other than i know that grimes used to be elon's wife and is a music producer

[–] hexbee@hexbear.net 13 points 4 days ago

I was just remembering that time after elon and grimes had just split up, where she did a photoshoot of herself reading the communist manifesto while cosplaying as and elf wearing the skyrim thieves guild armour, before declaring that "it was a troll!" and going back to making music about the inevitability of an AI god.

It was deeply unserious in a way that reminds me of this silly visual novel.

We gotta meet the people where they’re at, and the younger generations seem to have responded well to anime girls.

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 8 points 4 days ago (2 children)

They also respond to heads in toilets and Cocoa melons, but I'd much rather dunk myself in a giant jar of Vaseline then set myself on fire like a giant candle than even devote one calorie of energy to creating anything of that sort of material

Skibidi Stalin! Skibidi-Skibidi Stalin! Skibidi Stalin, Joe Joe Joe! Skibidi-Skibidi Stalin! Hitler's anguish (A-dolf)! My army's causing Hitler's anguish! Hitler's vanquished! Thank my army, Hitler's vanquished! Skibidi Skibidi!

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I have not been exposed to this so I'm thankfully ignorant on its substance, but the psychic energy from those words also sting at my gray matter

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

There's no way you haven't seen Skibidi Biden, there's no way.

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 12 points 4 days ago

alphys-smug yes way. My mind remains untainted from the existence of the skibidi Biden.

If there’s any consolation prize: I find that gen alpha DESPISES Cocomelon, like it’s their generation’s version of Barney the Dinosaur:

What? I find myself rapidly growing out of touch with the kids. I feel like Steve Buscemi in that one movie now.

Who invites someone over for the sole purpose of eating Popsicles?

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 22 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

I don't know, but if it's those real fruit ones, I'm accepting the invite

[–] Frivolous_Beatnik@hexbear.net 6 points 5 days ago

If they got some mango paletas I'm inviting myself over

[–] Carcharodonna@hexbear.net 14 points 5 days ago

You’ve never been to a popsicle party before??? You’re seriously missing out.

[–] AnarchoCynicalist@hexbear.net 14 points 5 days ago

DO NOT BE SWAYED BY ITS YURI MARCUS! This variance exists ONLY in emulation of greater powers forever beyond their grasp! A fact that vexes those warlocks, so haggard, aged and proud ever on through their days of restless slumber.

Damn I was going to post this yesterday but then I got eepy and forgot

fucking hell the girls are giving me such gender envy ughhhhh

Alfa Busa's Hunter the Parenting

Such culture~

[–] AntifaSuperWombat@hexbear.net 11 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

If you've watched Alfa Busa's Hunter the Parenting, imagine me as Speaker D's "Big D" screaming and raving incoherently.

"This game... I had seen this game in thousands of other forms, in that ghastly urban sprawl that riddles the modern world like a disease. Developers with names that wind the whole world ’round tear deep into the heart of the gaming community!

They drain the life, culture and variety from each hidden corner of our Steam store... In their place, a relentless spew of "PORN GAMES". Visual novels, puzzle games, anime games, dating sims... A panoply of bright horny distractions designed more to pacify mankind than to fullfill them.

Well then... Let us see the might of these "porn games"! The fluid of wet dreams is an expensive price to pay! One with the mettle to use so potent an unguent must produce a game of great power!

I needed to SEE that power! I needed to be SURE of it! A good game must be in my hands! Prove to me your might! You grey slag society! SHOW ME FREEDOM FROM WANT, PARADISE IN MY HANDS, YOU BASTARDS!"

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 7 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

Very apropos. Add a dash of esoteric ocultic references ~~And a dose of DMT~~ and it'll be perfect!

Though I don't know what elements of the Ars Esoterica would even be remotely suitable for this dung heap

[–] AntifaSuperWombat@hexbear.net 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Or instead of occult stuff, references to Mesopotamian culture would also do the trick.

What do you mean with "Ars Esoterica"?

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I think the Akkadian Mesopotamian culture, with probably some random references to the Caanite-Phoenicians used to insult gamers, would be perfect indeed!

Also ars esoterica means esoteric arts in Latin, its basically me being a fancy bitch dabbling with some of the mystic verbiage shit to sound mystical.

[–] AntifaSuperWombat@hexbear.net 6 points 4 days ago

ars esoterica means esoteric arts

Yeah, no shit! madeline-deadpan

Now you got me sad that they stopped making TTS

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Personally I'm really enjoying their world of darkness content more than their TTS content. Probably because the writers and voice actors feel more free to create their own world of darkness than they were when they were working within the very contained world of Warhammer 40k.

That's not even mentioning the sheer jump in production quality they've achieved since jumping ship off of the gamesworkshop IP. I think they're the WoD equivalent of whatever that Matt Mercer D&D Show is called with just the level of passion and calculated thought theyve poured into their new project.

That said I do miss their making fun of the smurfs.

[–] Gucci_Minh@hexbear.net 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Their new series is definitely a banger, but TTS is actually what got me into Warhammer so it's got that nostalgia factor. No more JoJo custodes or "it is I, CATO SICARIUS" :(

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 2 points 4 days ago

I definitely get that since I feel the same way. I guess we can only hope that GW knocks off their bullshit.

[–] Yuritopiaposadism@hexbear.net 7 points 4 days ago

I am just going to study it for... reasons.
