The Fremen should’ve just voted the Harkonnens out of power

Imagine still being correct 100 years after your death

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.

Does Elden Ring count?

As a follow-up to DS3 (yeah I’m not counting Sekiro in this), enemies move too quickly, boss movesets a little too erratic and the world way too open for my tastes. I’m a grown-ass person with things to do, I don’t wanna waste the two hours I have to myself each day dicking around and getting dicked-down for exploring some corner of the map, only to find loot that doesn’t apply to my build. It doesn’t respect my time.

I also don’t think I’m alone in thinking that replayability is harmed by making progression more of a slog than other Souls games. I need to grind more enemies (that are spread out, mind you) to level up my VIT stat so I don’t get 1-shot by bosses.

Build variety and boss-runs were definitely improved over other entries, I will admit. If these QoL improvements were made in a Bloodborne follow-up (peak souls imo), it might be the best Souls game made. Maybe I’ve outgrown the franchise tho; the tryhard-edgelord culture it invites is not for me.

Everyone’s laughing now but wait til a Shoot and Cry biopic is released. We’ll never hear the end of it

They’ll find out that mejorando la raza means fuck-all in this country

If family guy was ever funny, it was seasons 1-3 when it lampooned 70s and 80s pop culture, and even THAT is hard to watch since it’s got its moments of reactionary cow shit. Seriously, watch the “halloween” special on hulu. It’s almost comical how unfunny it is.

I’ll provide a heat source, power, and refrigeration

I have no qualms about Jurgen Klopp joining the Red Bulls soccer/football organization since I’m from and commercialization of sports is the fucking norm here, though Germany should maintain their fan ownership rules of teams. But the rumor mills are saying that Klopp was personally convinced by Dietrich Mateschitz, the late owner of Red Bull and the Austrian version of Fox News, to join. There are multiple reasons why Klopp would join but affiliating with reactionaries this way could be the worst one.

This is upsetting, truth be told. Klopp’s supposed “socialist leanings” were always PR but I was hoping he’d be a shitlib at worst. Can’t look at my Liverpool support during his tenure the same way.

I have to agree. It’s great seeing everyone’s hot takes about movies/tv shows but posts get very little engagement because they’re siloed off to a different community from CTH/main. The old subreddit ( ) had lots of activity on most threads. It’s definitely the biggest thing I still miss from back then

Instead of sending the Cum Extraction Unit, why don’t all IOF fighters just beat off in the barracks before going out? They can even make a game out of it idk

I've tried to get into other 4X's like Europa, Stellaris CK but the learning curve is pretty high admittedly! I'll give Europa another shot someday.

I actually welcome how each Civ tries to do something different, but the districts in 6 are such a huge addition that I'm a little sad they won't return in 7 in the same fashion. Nothing lights up my monkey brain like finding a +6 Campus/IZ/Harbor tile

If there's one thing I worry for 7, it's that the fanbase for 5 is very vocal online. I enjoyed 5 for what it was at its time but going back now it seems TOO simple with the streamlined culture tree and the overemphasis on building Tall. It's a 4X game, turtling at 4 cities is no fun!! The less influence the better.

I started with Civ Rev I for the PS3, I appreciate the goofy art style in 6 haha.
