The Dredge Tank. For posting all the low tier reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else. Got some bullshit from Reddit with 2 upvotes and want to share, post it here.

This community was created with the purpose that Rule 8 fans will just block it.

The rules are literally The Dunk Tank's rules, just without rule 8.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Never engaged with any LoU media, but here's what I would do instead:

jetpack in the post game

jetpack in the post game

katana is the post game

postgame jetpack

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Why post game jetpack?

Every game is improved by having jetpack access at all times. Even better if paired with a grappling hook.

Do what Avalanche couldn't with Just Cause, get it right.

I personally prefer the JRPG style Airship You Only Get When It No Longer Meaningfully Opens Up The Map And Is Mostly A Means To Reach The Final Chapter Zone

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago

Final Fantasy 1 did the airship so right that you could do the next few bosses completely out of order with it. sicko-wistful

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

I will die on the hill that Skies of Arcadia is one of the best JRPGs for giving you the airship early and keeping it relevant.

Not enough games involve sky piracy, and that's terrible.

And also random bosses and dungeons hidden in remote corners of the world map

Hot take: I'm tired of people blaming this on "lack of media literacy", I don't think this has anything to do with media literacy. I think the twerps who make this are more self aware than we realize and get this shit is sorta stupid and cringe but it's ammo that supports their side in the culture war and they're posting it anonymously anyway so they churn it out. I think they're totally capable, in terms of their education and intellect, to have more literate understanding of media, they're just not interested in it.

I honestly think dumbass creeps like this will always exist, even under FALGSC or whatever, no amount of education is gonna snap them out of it. The real solution is to marginalize them. Bully them, censor them, create some limited amount of slop for them and try and do everything to encourage them to just spend all day guzzling their slop alone in their commie bloc apartment away from all the decent members of society.

Yeah you're right about my wording, I couldn't think of a better catch-all term for "chuds refusing to engage with AND actively rewriting the material provided". Grifters are a massive influence in the space along with blatant fascist recruiters ala Bannon's 4ch campaign, and it's depressing how well the OP works on swaths of extremely online young men

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The fact that it says a God-fearing family makes me think this isn't incel-brain but just bait.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

In my experience internet nazis frequently espouse both """traditional family values""" and horny ass shit like this in the same breath without any sense of irony or shame or cognitive dissonance. It's incoherent because their politics are incoherent and completely performative

CW: SAIt's the same reason the GOP pushes radtrad values while so many of them fuck children

Some animals can now be infected with cordyceps

I guess that includes incels, it would explain a lot.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 days ago

The cordyceps at home: brainworms

Bait

also TLOU2 is racist Zionist garbage

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 days ago

This is what I came here to say, thank you

Chuds hate TLOU2 for being 'woke'

We hate TLOU2 for being genocidal zionist propaganda

We are not the same

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Not that I don't believe you but i haven't played it so I'm not sure what you mean

The backdrop of the protagonist’s revenge-murder-rampage is a conflict over territory. One faction is portrayed as morally grey at worst, and are shown to have a functioning settlement based in the Seahawk’s stadium with guns, agriculture, medicine, a cafeteria, and a gym. The other faction lives in wooden settlements, does primitive agriculture, and fights with bows and sticks. The penultimate action setpiece takes place as an invasion on the “primitive” faction’s land.

These two sides are framed as being equal and both motivated by hate and genocide. The creator has come out and explicitly said as much that it was based off his own experience with the Palestine-Israel conflict.

Don’t forget the primitive people out maneuver the civilized people by using an elaborate series of ~~tunnels~~ bridges

Key people behind its development said the anti-zombie safety wall, and the zombies, were inspired by what they saw in ~~Israel~~ Occupied Palestine. And they thought it was really cool.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago

That sort of thing is why post-Romero zombie movies (and post-Romero zombie fans) are sus to me, especially when they get excited about their "Adult In The Room" mass killing fantasies after hurricanes and the like.

The head of Reddit is one such cryptofascist ghoul, even bragging about getting his vision surgically corrected to begin his le epic zombie adventures post-collapse.

Step 1: shut the fuck up

Step 2: certain animals could be infected, the chimps from the lab at the University in Colorado

Step 3: shut the fuck up

Add an organization of hot vixens called "The Lonely Widows"

They make Joel forget a bit about the pressures of surviving in an apocalyptic world.

This step will make the game more enticing to customers.

And they will form a competitive harem yearning for senpai to notice them and one will be a yandere and one will be a tsundere and at least one will be a moeblob of very dubious biological age and NO NO JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU CREEPS

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Bit idea: only include the moeblob, but make her a literal blob.

I know this meme made me regret having the power to read for a moment.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This is good writing you communists just are too illiterate to understand

Good writing is making the most yummy slop for the most possible slop hogs!

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago

what if I just played monster hunter instead and fought the cool monsters without all your other dumb shit

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago

This is clearly just some obnoxious dipshit doing le epic troll

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago

This feels like bait but on the other hand gamers are so cooked it's hard to tell

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago

I wish I didn't read this

How dare a game not be made with the lowest common denominator in mind?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

This is so low it loses the commonality

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

my actual opinion on how to "fix" it since i think that was satire, if not it's ridiculous lol

obvious spoilers

spoiler


realistically i'm of the mind the way to "fix" the game would just be to reorder the gameplay timeline a bit and add some more early gameplay and cut some later.

JOEL NEEDS TO DIE. he is a monster. this is unchanged.

you start as young Abby. Expanded gameplay. then you play some older Abby. make her faction more interesting, make the conflict she's in more complex and nuanced <- majority of gameplay

then switch to Ellie for a short run. Abby encounter happens. Flashback to what happened to Abby's dad.

Now play Ellie revenge arc. leave all the nasty stuff, her killing Abby's friends, which now you have spent more time with than Ellie in this game

Cut the brawl between them in the last act! because fuck the Zionist who created it and his "this is actually the ancient and inscrutable conflict between "Israelis" and Palestinians" but in microcosm.

Instead Ellie walks away, realizing Abby and lev have been through so much pain that there is no need for "revenge". she breaks the cycle, has a meltdown about it, tells Abby to go and if she ever sees her again she will kill her. Abby maybe thanks her, or says nothing, i dunno somebody could better then me could write a good, moving scene

Ellie goes home, is still alone but there is hope she will rectify and settle to be a cottagecore lesbian, reflecting on her ability to give up on violence. Abby's story is only beginning, she will be the main character in the next one, possibly a bit of gameplay here and hint she has found the last of the Fireflies (...or has she??)

Thank you for this. That last fight is agonizing and hearing Druckmann talk about the “universal” feeling of burning hatred that he obtained by growing up in Israel was sickening.

no prob. when i read that interview it was before Oct 7 and still obviously pissed me off but now it's just like a razor blade slicing into my brain

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago

Is that a fucking bit?

Is it specifically designed to piss me off?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

More enticing to whom exactly? Without all your bazinga bullshit TLOU2 is already a critically acclaimed game and one of the best-selling games on the PS4. Why would the developers listen to anything you have to say?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

this has to be satire, it just has to
