Liberalism in this game IS communism, a liberal victory basically gives you FALGSC.

wtf is this thread
lcs is reactionary slop, the game was made by a fascist to mock the opposition to bush, it comes off awkward because the author is illiterate and confuses the liberal opposition to bush (the democratic party) with anything and everything to the left of reagan. it's garbage

>>42574
I haven't played it much but it seems to have some cool features as a criminal simulator game. Seems one of the coolest in the simulator genre but I need to do a playthrough.

>>42574
Has Tarn ever spoken about his specific motivation for the game? It seems very much like a both-sides-suck South Park kind of cringe approach but I don't get the feeling that it's pro-Bush.

>>42572
with mandatory veganism and voting rights for animals, so even more based

>lcs is reactionary slop, the game was made by a fascist to mock the opposition to bush
no lol, Tarn Adams was interviewed multiple times about this game, that was not his motivation at all. also even if it were can you read? OP is saying take the engine of this game (organizing clandestine anti-government cells) and make an actual pro-communist game out of it by essentially changing flavor text. "wTf iS tHiS tHrEaD?"

wtf is with fake outrage

Sounds fun, i can code but cant do art, would be very gemmy with some 'jaks

>>42584
This is an ASCII game it doesn't even have art…. Also not everything needs soy shit

>>42585
It doesnt look very ascii, and a more approachable graphics style that still looks charming would be great. And i see it working well with soy boy WOAH jaks

>>42585
There's a graphical version of the game but the art isn't amazing, and it's not like the type of person playing something like this is going to be picky about graphics.

>>42577
Y'know I do find it funny that despite the game's attempt to exaggerate the worst of both sides, the ultra-left victory is infinitely more desirable than all the other possible status quos. Maybe it's just that it would be harder to get the player invested if the cause he was fighting for was as evil and insane as the opposite, or maybe the creators are more sympathetic than they let on.

>>42610
Tarn Adams definitely strikes me as a quiet radlib in his interviews. A lot of Gen X white guys like him self describe as "libertarian" basically they are what in the 19th century would be petty bourgeois utopian socialists. Horace Greeley. Ferdinand Lassalle. That type of person.

>>42586
most versions of the game are ascii but it's open source so some people fork it and add a GUI. one of the more recent and regularly updated forks is Jonathan S Fox's "LCS: New Age" which this screenshot is taken from

>>42610
The only real bad part about the LCS is that they're anti nuclear 😔 but nowadays solar and wind are so good that I think that's not that bad

>>42618
use nuclear to manufacture the parts in the solar panel supply chain

honestly I think solar panels usually have petrochemical polymer parts for the panel housing and so do wind turbines

Not to get into a debate but it makes sense as the left in the west has historically been opposed to nuclear because it is irremediably linked to imperialist wmd production and also for its plethora of environmental issues

>>42622
>imperialist WMD production
every bit of enriched uranium that gets used in a power plant precludes it being used in a nuclear weapon. "WMD" is itself a scare term used by the imperialists to scare monger about other people. In fact the entire bitching for 20 years about Iran's "nuclear program" was about their nuclear power program, not their nuclear weapons program. The deal the Obama admin made with them, which Trump tore up, was that the IAEA would go into their power plants and make sure they weren't enriching enough Uranium to secretly make nukes. But the whole thing was to cripple the domestic power production in a mountainous country. They need nuclear there. As for environmental issues, unless you fuck up, Nuclear is cleaner than coal.

There is a case to be made that the extraction of nuclear materials is imperialist because Niger, Namibia, and Uzbekistan are peripheral countries that are stuck exporting it to imperial core consumers who get to use it in their power plants and weapons.

itt: autists not understanding satire

>>42742
which is funny since both the OP text and video explicitly label it as such. I think people are illiterate.

>>42737
It's imperialist because the imperialists build bombs with their "civilian" nuclear programs so the leftists/left leaning libs in the imperialist west didn't like it. They also didn't like that the bombs were tested on top of brown people in the south among many other things, which made the anti nuclear movement in the west was largely left aligned historically.

Why don't you make it?
I'll help where I can

I really wanna get into this but it seems to have a higher learning curve than the OG dwarf fort.

>>42770
booted it up the other day and had no fucking idea what I was doing. Like most agents of anarchy.

>>42574
I was a hardcore conservative back in the early to mid 2000's and this game played a big role in mentally aligning me to the left.
It's satirical to a point, sure, but it nudged me to re-frame how I saw certain issues.

>>42770
nah it really isn't that complicated.

>>43972

>lcs is reactionary slop, the game was made by a fascist to mock the opposition to bush,

where's the proofs? obviously the game makes fun of the left a bit but they're clearly portrayed as the good guys overall
