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.

wrong, they will stab you in the face and use you as a sign post

ACCtually, you see, in those desperate times, the weak and vulnerable should be protected by the capable, and have their psychological and physical state well cared for by the capable.
It is the only HUMANE thing to do, is H U M A N N A T U R E , where is our M O R A L S if we don't do that?
It is clear to me, that the smart kids are only falling because they are being forced in labor they are not familiar with. Since they are so smart, we should give then decision and planning make parts of our group.
The strong can maintain the survival of the group, and the TECHNOCRACY can maintain high moral. It is only fair.

Dont worry, big guy, when you sacrifice yourself for the GREATER GOOD, we will surely remember and honor your efforts, and make sure your example inspire generations to come.
>spooki dooki
Jokes on you, you are a spooki dooki, ever thought of that? I am only joking of course, we don't have anything against little spookis, we are pals! Friends, even Brothers!

Zoomers grew up immersed in walled gardens after they became the norm, so they don't really understand things like piracy or emulation.

>>37608
Because pirates are RUINING societe, we need to gibe all our money to big papa Nintendo, they don't have enough money yet! We need to cut education and healthcare, that is a waste of money. Pikachu will heal my cancer and pay my 100000000 money debt.

Nintendochinlets were always whipped but I think >>37609 nailed it, its probably just another facet of tech illiteracy

I will keep emulating.

>even the ps4 version is $70
i'll play it in a few years

>>37606
The demo was released without drm and there's a bypass to play past the demo end date. That's how I've been playing it.

Judging by Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart, anything can happen really.

By the way, why does nobody mention SRB2K in this thread? It needs more love. It's FLOSS too and has a bigger following, as does SRB2 itself. Because Sonic. Duh.

The brainrot is fucking real.

I decided to check the list of all Warhammer games on wikipedia, to see if there are any which dont have Imperials as protagonists, there are couple strategic games in which they share spotlight with other races, but out of the recent ones, only two Imperium-free games is a side-scroller Shootas, Blood and Teef and an aerial dogfighting game Dakka Squadron, both featuring orcs. Then there is almost 20 year gap, until we reach Fire Warrior (Tau) from 2003 and Rites of War (Eldar) from 1999, and that appears to be it, out of dozens of games set in some version of Games Workshop setting.

>out of dozens of games set in some version of Games Workshop setting.

more like hundreds by this point.

>>37544
102 I counted, although some of them are mobile shovelware.

>>37543
Didnt, as I said, most Warhammer strategies have good sense to allow you playing other races too, although as a general rule, the Imperial campaign is clearly the main one with most contend and polish.
