There’s also a disconnect between the player character and... the player character. During cutscenes she’ll be like “god I hate it here, I need to finish X Y and Z so I can get out of here pronto!” but then during gameplay she’ll be like “woohoo! yeah, nailed it!” etc. I was given the impression she was really…

They like anything that’s “points for their side” - actual truth and falsehood are irrelevant to them. They know this is stupid, and at the same time they like that he said it.

Exactly. Criticisms of Hassan’s level of wealth are mostly bad faith, but if they are made in good faith, then they are math-illiterate. His level of wealth and $0 are a rounding error apart from each other when compared to billionaires, who are the actual menaces in society. If you dropped a million dollars in my…

Exactly. This is consistent with the CIA’s funding of anarchist magazines - the goal was to convince the left that they are opposed to organization itself, so that they wouldn’t support actual leftists (communists). I see no contradiction here.

If you need insulin and you’re not on Medicaid, hey, maybe you’ll get some help down the line at some point.

Cripes.

“I don’t watch credits.”

I don’t pretend they don’t exist. I played them and enjoyed them, but I’m still waiting for a true successor to Final Fantasy Tactics.

I mean, the historical record shows this to be true. It’s why the Soviet Union rose from backwater to rivalling the US so quickly, why China’s economic growth is outpacing the US, and why Cuba is having so many successes despite crushing economic sanctions.

“I got this wrong, so fuck you.”

Yeah I’m actually regretting closing my Twitter now - clowning Musk until I’m banned would have been way more fun.

Capitalism is a system that rewards you for being a monster. It’s no surprise that monsters filter to the top.

The first time I played Chess, I thought to myself “oh, it’s like Final Fantasy Tactics!” I realized only hours later how stupid that was.

Yeah I always clicked these to skim the lists to make sure I wasn’t missing anything. Oh well, one less thing to click.

Mockery is one of the most effective means of combatting fascists. They rely on looking smarter / superior to their idiot supporters. Showing what dumbasses they are has a good chance of waking some of those fools up.

You didn’t understand this post.

I mean, they just sentenced thousands of people to die for the crime of becoming pregnant, but you know, fuck defending ourselves. Can’t stoop to their level.

Hmm, I guess I was hoping for a bit more practical advice.

“Oh, he says it’s his religion that makes him believe there are second class citizens that should be discriminated against. Gotta respect it!”

Yeah exactly - the hard missions and the music pack are the only DLC here. Hell, if buying the hard missions results in some different animations on the main menu, that’s just like a nice little bit of polish that they didn’t have to do. The fuckup is in the advertising.
