Ubisoft would rather not talk about the The Division's ideological underpinnings, however, and with good reason - proposing to speak on behalf of "real" people while demonising the rest is an elementary gambit of fascism.
genuinely a little confused here because ime this is like... all political parties and candidates and ideologies represent themselves in this way

Reply to Todd Howard came on stage in an ugly jacket and pretty deftly made comebacks to most of the things people make fun of him for by hollyhoppet
i know people joke and stuff but i have this sort of persistent dislike of todd howard and i can pull up reasons why i do, i guess, but i feel like the dislike i have is bigger than the reasons to dislike him

"The Twitter cliche that the user with an anime avatar harraging your mentions is as likely to be a nazi as communist is an easy go-to example of how fans of the same or similar works might be—obviously “fans of…” don’t universally share the same politics, identities, and beliefs."
it's worth interrogating the racial implications of interpreting people with "anime avatars" to be a homogeneous group, in the context of dismissing people for participating in the cultural output of an international subculture. not strictly related to the article but something i've been thinking about lately
"I think of some of the disturbingly hateful reactions I’ve seen over the past few years to the work of queer women who are exploring difficult, messy, incomplete feelings, as if they had done real harm by not being sufficiently perfect in their processing, depicting situations that didn’t slot neatly into the positive and self-loving way we demand that women embody."
i think that its important to be kind in interpreting and criticising works that arent out of the mouth of corporations but at the same time "messy feelings" might genuinely be troublesome and in some cases reactionary or even sort of evil, especially when dealing with the messy feelings that arise from forming your sexual/gender/Queer identity on the internet as a teenager like most of us did.
i also think that the majority of these reactions to "the work of queer women who are exploring difficult, messy, incomplete feelings" come from other "queer" people, often who probably dont run in the san francisco/portland/new york/gdc social circles and who dont have large followings like these "creators" that the op is obliquely referring to often do. social media is almost inherently designed so that the reactions to these works will be seen by the creator. i dont think its unfair to categorise these reactions of queer people interpreting creations depicting "difficult, messy, incomplete feelings" as being difficult, messy, and incomplete themselves.

the concept of a teen wilfully saying “juuling is really what’s up" tickles me to no end. anyway these companies have gentrified cigarettes and sold them to children for profit and their executives should be drowned in the san francisco bay

Reply to Recommend me video games by Moonside
Games from 1988-1998
going back and playing the kirby games was a good experience. playing through doom 1 and 2 is better than playing a lot of modern games.
Games from 1999-2008
portal 1 is worth replaying now. ill also write here that the first three spyro games are good
Games from 2009-2013 you must play fallout new vegas. arkham asylum was a good game. the sims 3 was a good game
Games from 2014-2016 shadowrun dragonfall and sr hong kong were good. stardew valley was great. the witness was good.
Games from 2017 hollow knight, pyre and tacoma are probably the three standout games of 2017 for me. i dont like nier automata as much as other people like nier automata but its good.
Games from 2018 i dont think ive played any 2018 games yet
i dont even know if these fit with the games you listed theyre just the games that i think about when asked for recommendations and i look through my steam library i guess??? ill tell any motherfucker to play fallout new vegas
i omit a lot of newer console only games because i was pc only since like 2010 so shrug emoji.
anyway going back and emulating old console games is good but i cant recommend anything really specifically?? mario
