Yes I know that fascism measurehead is a playable ideology in Disco Elysium, but presenting fascism as with its integral ugly reality, glaring contradictions, and unsustainable death drive is a pretty leftist (and correct) way of portraying it. de-encyclopedia

I've played postal 2 as well and there is a very good reason why the only things that come out from that game is the "sign my petiton" level and Gary Coleman (as well as Rick Hunter's performance as the protagonist which most likely is why the game was popular in the first place).

The rest of the game is a time capsule incomprehensible to anyone who isn't a white teenager just after 9/11. Maybe it has some little value that way.

Say what you will but no other game is as pure a distillation of the mid-2000s cultural miasma
