Isn't that unironically what Gunther the balkinizer was calling for this morning? Jesus christ.

Given unlimited men, one of them will invent fascism. Certainly fascism is not a natural state of affairs, though.

Even a communist state will need to take measures to prevent the proliferation of fascist ideology, because let's be real it's really hard to "start fresh" by somehow killing all fascists, that's not feasible in real life. So the above point is moot anyway.

Pausing taking 10 seconds was wild.

The two joysticks I mean, I think you pressed downwards on both at once to brace? Something like that.

Just looked it up, getting hit in the head will make one of your hands remove from the window, but if both hands are holding the same window, you keep one hand on and don't fall.

That's the one where you press both buttons to not get knocked off by flower pots, right?

It's definitely heretical based on what I've played, though. The angels are portrayed as absolute assholes who take advantage of the structure of damnation to force the neons into servitude, while compromising their moral high ground to do so.

Great game and soundtrack. I don't care about heresy, in fact I like it.

Yeah, I feel like you can come back from some things by apologizing, and other things should be a scarlet letter R (for rapist) that follows you around. And I know feeling betrayed by someone you trusted, even parasocially can be just awful.

That opinion article writer that i linked seemed to think he shouldn't be forgiven yet because his apology wasn't restorative. But it's kind of hard to say from the outside whether he apologized more specifically in private.

I'm also sorry that people weren't taking your concerns about Nick seriously. I want this to be a safe space where people can be believed and listened to. There needs to be a balance between protecting people targeted by abuse and allowing for rehabilitation.

He was messaging women from a position of power, iirc. Was he accused of being a literal rapist?

This is the most critical article I could find and it accuses him of sexual harassment and soliciting nudes. https://www.dailydot.com/irl/nick-robinson-matt-conn-sexual-harassment-abuse/

If I had to guess, it may be because of the thought stopping nature of (some) faith-based thought. You would also need either a game studio that was willing to explore/pursue those ideas.

But you'd think with all the right wing Christian money swirling around in the US that there would be some kind of evangelizing effort through gaming.

Edit: Just remembered that Chants of Sennaar is a really cool take on the Tower of Babel concept with puzzles based on deciphering languages you don't know. So that's one interesting one.

I'll have you know I smell fantastic!

Use a razor blade to remove it and be careful if you use your bare hands (or just don't) because fascists are known to hide razor blades under their stickers.

Edit: paint scraper seems much better than a razor blade

Ok I agree but people get run over in my city all the time. Drivers are antisocial here.
