Communism is when no iPhone

Wait, communism is when slightly less good iPhone

The elements that made New Vegas good were the team, the near infinite money they had, and how everyone seemed to enjoy the project. From interviews I've read with Josh Sawyer and Tess Treadwell, it seems like everything went as smooth as game production could have gone. They were never worried about deadlines or anything, despite the 18 month production time. They wanted to have more Legion territory, but otherwise the game is how they wanted it to be. So I don't know how those elements would get replicated.

Pentiment is really good though. Outer Worlds is...ok. I guess we'll see.

hang on, I know we're supposed to have a popular mandate based on the whims of voters but before we do anything we have to consult the transphobe children's author who lives in a castle

The internet at this point is so segmented and full of islands. YouTube channels can have 67 million subscribers and yet be completely unknown outside of its regular viewers. The uptick you're seeing might be restricted to its own circle of viewers, maybe? Because I haven't noticed anything like that. Internet popularity manifests as weird bubbles that don't intersect.

But I could just be in a different bubble. I haven't noticed an uptick nor do I even know who Cyraxx or kingcobra are.

Before people start saying anything positive, this entire exchange is the resolution of a diplomatic tennis match that the Zionist Entity and Ukkkkraine have been having for years. Isntreal was courting Russian diplomacy and oil since the 90s and the two have had somewhat substantial population exchanges. And since at this point a country can either choose good relations with Russia or Ukraine, Russia ended up with positive Zionist relations. Putin himself has had a pro-Zionist platform for decades now.

In 2014 Isntreal was one of the few western aligned countries to not condemn Russia's annexation of Crimea, since they were still trying to get on Russia's good side. The relationship has gotten even worse since the Donbas war. Isntreal sent some aid to Ukraine, probably the minimum amount required to also stay in western graces, but they haven't sanctioned or embargoed Russian trade.

So this kind of thing was inevitable. It's dialectical materialism playing out, and probably not some manifest sympathy for Palestinians on the part of Ukkkkraine.

I get the crosses, barbed wire, and swastikas, but what are those brown symbols on Porky's coat? Bear traps? Crocodile mouths?

I think Canada has just gotten weasely with their legal language to define consulates as police stations. Texas did the same thing by defining spying as "embassy record keeping while being Chinese."

Liberals lack imagination to the point everything they don't like is scary foreigners. MAGA/Putin/China/Venezuela are all the same thing to them.

There's a person in that thread unironically praising the atom bombing of Japan as a liberal victory

Do they have no awareness or are they like happily evil

I had a Soviet watch for a while, but the winding mechanism got a little stripped or something and I couldn't find a jeweler who knew how to repair it or even where to get replacement parts. So that's something to keep in mind if you want a Soviet watch.

You're going to find a lot of punk bands that would fit your preferences. Try checking out smaller punk bands on Bandcamp.

One of my favorites is G.L.O.S.S.

Their music was great although they've all moved on to other projects. Good anti-capitalist, anti-fascist punk rock made by trans women. Truly punk music in that they made only two albums that add up to less than 20 minutes, got contacted by a big record label, then decided to break up instead of compromising their own values.

I refuse to use any gaming guides that don't have cool ASCII art at the top
