Wish I had your optimism. Removal of the hegemon won’t remove the reactionary regimes they’ve installed and/or supported - be it in Europe, Africa, or elsewhere. And it’s not like they will change their ways, more likely they’ll start competing with each other to see who’ll be the new local head honcho. And China won’t do anything about it. China is still trading with Israel and the like.

I am not convinced the crash of USian society will actually end the worship of the bourgeoisie

The movie is pretty shit as far as actual historical personalities are concerned

You forgot the classic “You don’t miss USSR, you just miss being young”

Toe and furniture corner

Yes. If I may, I would suggest “The origins of family and private property” from Engels. It’s not explicitly political, but I find it serves excellently for dissolving some biases towards historical conditions and how they shape the current affairs.

This is horrendous. I’ve only attempted to try MGS5 after hearing for literal years how amazing the series is, about amazing storytelling and world building and spy action and all that. And now you’re telling me that wasn’t even the most egregious?! Guess I’ll stick to Deus Ex

Just feels like you wanted to make a movie.

That’s me with MGS5. With these exact thoughts

Preach!

Force Unleashed, the “drop a star destroyer with force” part. It is frustrating to control, there are whole bunch of guides solely for that part, because of how frustrating it is. The worst part, it’s pretty close to the end, so you are this close to finishing, but nope.

Darktide and Mechwarrior 5 because of size bloat. They started out at around 60Gb, and now they’re over 90. I have a laptop. I can’t just upgrade disk space. Please stop bloating the bloody games. Same with several other games that have been large from day one. Bummer, really.

Makes me sad to hear this about Sleeping Dogs, because I absolutely loved it. Sometimes I would launch it just for a quick fight club bit because of how much I enjoyed the hand-to-hand fighting mechanics

Who’s the git?

Well I don’t look like the overwhelming majority of people in my day to day life, and share near zero experience and cultural exposure with the people who do look like me.

So yes.

Glasco claims: “A lot of us devs were appalled because it felt like political propaganda being pushed by Activision.”

Oh yes, because CoD is famously not doing any political propaganda whatsoever, nosireebob

In WW2 in the western front. How was the treatment of, say, Baltic fleet soviet sailors, hmmmmmmmm?

How did USA lose Iraq?

Thanks

Is there one in Dubai?

They’ve been saying the same about Ukrainian soldiers and nobody cared

Sadly you’re likely right
