Project Zomboid today.

Finally got around to Neke Atsume 2, basically the same game with some new music, much needed QoL features, and some system for visiting other people's yards. I'm gonna assume more cats and furnature too. Quite nice.

Finished with Expeditions: Viking (go play it, its great). Immediately installed its predecessor Expeditions: Conquistador. Its clunky as shit, looks like ass, big stretches of boring nothing as you traverse the map collecting randomly scattered pickups, completely different feel from Viking, not fun experience at all. Would have started Expeditions: Rome already, its the newest and the the most well received in the series, but there is an update coming out soon, so waiting for that.

Also for like an hour tried Knights of Honor II: Sovereign. Its basically Crusader Kings 2 with Total War battles, but lacking the depth of either of those.

Crusader Kings 2, the After the End mod. I'm playing as the 7 year old Tycoon Eugene Murrough of Alleghenia. Tycoon Eugene took the Steel Throne as a newborn after his mother, Tycoon Phillippa, died from cancer.

That is a namefag I haven't heard in a long time.
>that they will permaban you for civil queer discourse and the lead dev is a turkish Israel loving cockroach
Bear in mind, I haven't played since the hype of it's release, but from what I understand is they will ban anyone using derogatory language.
And it's unfortunate the lead dev is a zioncuck.

That's really annoying you can't chose to have a radical path. Can you get Die Linkie elected before war with Russia?

>>37797
You can, but as with all the german and french paths you just get a mini-tree of like 6 focuses for the party, with everything else just being generic, and it makes no difference to your gameplay after the nato war win or lose.

>>37802
Well, there are a lot of variables, especially with France, which was basically developed like a CYOA. The most notable one is that taking 'Purge Extremist Soldiers' as Germany allows you to revive Nazism or Strasserism after losing to CPRF Russia. Otherwise you're stuck with ultramilitarists or clinically insane reichsburger monarchists.

There's always more content that you don't see at first glance

>>37804
Your party choice doesn't make a difference though. I did know about the extremist soldiers focus, but that exists regardless of who you elect, and it makes no difference if you elected die linke or afd, if you get beat by a commie russia you go fascist and this is not the case for russia.

>>37806
>and it makes no difference if you elected die linke or afd
Not to mention the focus you start with are not affected by your party. You can elected the afd and welcome refugees and do socdem economics, and you can elect die linkie, be supper conservative, and embrace neoliberalism.

elder scrolls 2 daggerfall

Explicitly anti-communist, reactionary dogwater.
Which is a shame because it is funny in a very deus ex way.

>Neo-Imperial CHina
Ewwwww.

Anyone who shoots state senators no scope is a favorite in my book. Even if they canonically dismembered a Vietnamese mom

>>37795
Yeah I mean he's still an anticommunist freak that in general deserves to die, but his arc is based.

Just installed Ancestors Legacy, havent even played it yet, but the main theme rocks so hard I had to immediately post it here.

*pink pajama guys*

got this stuck in my head due to that one topic about genshin (dont even play it)

anon solves a thread without uttering a letter, respect

>>37726
well they say a picture is worth a thousand words

I'm glad helldivers is adding clans. It should have done it months ago. Without the in game social element there's nothing to really keep the samey gameplay fresh and relying on randos for the higher difficulty levels is such a mixed bag. Having a reliable team to play with will make a big difference I think.

I truly hate how the series ended with the literal fascist empire just ended being friends with the crystal gems. I love that a series about a revolutionary group fighting for liberation and equality ended up with such an interesting finale, where the upper classes just gave up on their privilege and power peacefully, merciful and pious as they are…
(…)
I remember the best fanfics i read of steven universe were the ones depicting the revolution of Rose Quartz on earth, when the crystal gems were more than just 4 people living on a beach. Pearl being a true renegade, writing and spreading theory to incite revolt, contacting other pearls in underground secret meetings, that kinda stuff really gets me going. Yes it is infantile, yes it is cliche, yes Steven Universe is a liberal cartoon, and the crystal gem revolution is probably based on the American and French revolution, not the Soviet one, but i like it nonetheless. I like stories of good revolutionaries beating up nazis. Also the empire in most part of the series is mysterious, you don't really know how much power they have, who are their leaders, how they changed from the period of Rose to Steven, etc. That is interesting.

If only the series wasn’t written for Cartoon Network man. Korra also had the same problem of discussing mature politics and ideas for an audience that’s too young to understand such ideas. Coincidentally the authors of both series are genuinely not equipped to discuss ideas like sexual assault, class society, or revolutions themselves.

Actually, I’m now realizing how infantilized most western media is. It’s not just the entertainment, the way westerners treat their own history and politics is insufferably childish.

>>37708
Hold on, I’m going to go on a tangent

There are so many examples of infantilism and immaturity present in every sector of western society. Nearly all their entertainment is so fucking loud, long, and devoid of meaning.

Another is the portrayal of slavery. Americans especially are taught a hyper simplified idea of what slavery was and looked like, but aren’t taught anything related to the subsequent revolts, massacres, ethnic cleansings, vigilantism, and migration crises that would all collectively contribute to the literal and political violence necessary to send the USA and much of the rest of the Americas into major wars. It’s criminal knowing how many Americans aren’t aware of the fact that they’re lucky to not have been hit by several civil wars instead of just one given how fucking violent slavery was. If these fuckers can fail with maturely describing something that important to their history, imagine how much they fail at everything else.

McCarthyism and poor public education basically destroyed any awareness most western proletarians had in their understanding of how ownership over commodities and relationships influences power dynamics. Western media shoves pacifism everywhere in its morality even towards things and people do not have any right to receive any form of forgiveness or even acceptance into society. Even their debates are insufferably childish in their presentation. There’s no professionalism or maturity in so much of it. Even the so called ‘conservative’ shitheads somehow always end up being the most childish and uncivilized people in the west.

I get that cartoons history was always filled with meaningless violence, but pushing pacifism as the solution to all problems
is just as infantile. "Modern psychologists" have studied cartoons for years, and the impacts of small children on seeing inappropriate or violent content are also documented, but Steven Universe is not a cartoon for small babies who can't distinguish good from bad, they need to think about what is appearing on the screen and be critical about it.

I agree with the points made in the tangent, about childish behavior and culture not being limited to children but to "western society" as a whole, the use of historical cliches, like slavery in america, to do world building, but not going any deep than critique the societies of 300 years ago, and remain silent about the wars and genocides of today, much more complex and close to reality. Professionalism and maturity are lacking in the public space worldwide, lots of inflammatory speech with nothing to back them up, since everything is just theatre for the demagoges.

But i don't know if i agree with the article posted. Sure, adults may act infantile today, and have "unrealistic" expectations of reality, since they are are blinded by modern consumerist culture, but the solution for the problem is clearly and unapologetic liberal. "Restoring capitalism to what it was", " a productive way of meeting real economic needs, from supply (or push) back to demand (or pull), ", "Democracy as an opposition to "capitalist hegemony"", etc. It is a study who puts too much time defending "human spiritual needs", "freedom of choice", and ignoring almost on purpose all the material reasons the world is the way it is now, even mocking the communists for trying to go against the inevitable absolute will of the market.

And i must question, are people, or the proletariat, infantile for not living in real, material and concrete misery? It is easy to mock the religious fanatics or the childish and consumerist adults, or stupid politicians, but all of those have the same similar stench of desperation and nihilism. People who live in misery will always seek salvation, even as just as a form of placebo. Especially in the US, were salaries have stagnated in relation to GDP growth since the 1970-80 if i recall correctly. Capitalism may look like as an godly-like force, just as dangeroPost too long.
