I don't think Hogwarts was made by conservatives though, was it?

For a most of its development, the lead designer was one of those YouTube antifeminists and had ties to gamergate.

The main storyline is about putting down a rebellion of a segregated underclass. The goblins themselves lean heavily into old antisemitic caricatures, and there's an incredibly uncomfortable parallel between blood libel narratives and the goblins kidnapping children for some sort of ritual.

Looking cynically at the one trans character (who's character is largely just telling the player that she is trans), I'd wager she was a last minute inclusion to try and shield the game from some of the backlash of its right wing premise.

Both in the same size class as well.

It's worse than I thought.

I checked back to see exactly what his setup was. I was wrong about the claws. But:

The fuck?

Elden Ring.

He was, like, a hundred hours in and posted a build that showed he understood none of the game's mechanics. Like, he was carrying a rapier, claws, a sorcery catalyst, and a shield, all while wearing heavy armour with a stat spread that didn't support high weight loadouts.

soviet-hmm

That's Molag Bal in that bottom billboard isn't it?

American foreign policy aligns well with his spheres, I could totally buy the idea he's secretly running the show.

Meet Your Match sapped most of the enjoyment out of TF2 for me because it created a barrier between me and those cosy servers where people were just fucking around.

I've almost entirely given up on PvP in games nowadays (other than invader duels in Dark Souls games and the occasional counterstrike match), but from my experience Co-op stuff with randos is just an unrelenting mass of toxicity now as well.

MMOs are the worst of it but, like, I've had some vile language leveled at me for not taking matchmade L4D games seriously.

Breaking news:

Hamas reportedly digging all but thin wall against a lava lake in order to create a "fuck the world device".

Witnesses have reported hearing rallying cries of "we're pulling a Boatmurdered, lads."

There were supposed to be more of them and they were gonna mount an insurrection like a right wing version of the Cuban revolution.

Someone took the money and ran though, and when the cash dried up, the only people they could gather were the hardcore ideologues and thus they didn't have the manpower to overcome a fishing crew they ran into while trying to make a landing.

Allegedly, when William the Conqueror first landed in England he tripped in the sand.

I'd've left a land mine where he was going to fall, turning the future king of England into a fine mist and a scattering of viscera.

Probably Sound of Thunder meself out of existence, but it'd be worth for the immediate chaos it would cause.

So Hamas gonna invade Israel like those lizard people in that one Dr Who episode, yeah?

Some settler gonna walk over a patch of ground and woosh, dragged into the underground by Hamas.

This is just the back story of Homefront with North Korea replaced with China.
