  • Naw, Inglorious Basterds makes a pretty strong case for branding the fuckers.

    I’ve also noticed there’s a disconnect in people who act like Nazis in actually recognizing their own actions as such. Show them a swastika or something blatant like that and their knee-jerk is to see it as adversarial, but they don’t connect the dots between Nazism and figures like Elon Musk - to the contrary, they fucking love that evil piece of shit.

    Forcing them to draw that connection by marking Musk’s products with Nazi iconography may finally fire off that neglected single neuron in charge of introspection: and that would be therapeutic for everyone.




  • I pre-ordered No Man’s Sky -_-

    Now, they’ve done WAY more than any of us thought to make things right; but at the time of release, NMS was probably the single most egregious example of false advertising to hit the gaming industry, ever. Or at least within a comparable scope of visibility to the gaming community.

    It wasn’t just not living up to the hype; it was purchasing a brand new Lamborghini, and receiving 2003 Honda Civic.

    And no they didn’t just bite off more than they could chew - they knew what they had created; and proceeded to show demos and make promises that amounted to a completely different product. We were scammed.

    …and then I guess their conscious got the better of them, cuz rather than disbanding their studio and laughing all the way to the bank like we all expected them to, they spent years at least trying to make look like the product they promised. So, credit where it’s due. But still lesson learned: never preorder a game, no matter how good the demos looks, no matter how charming their spokespeople are, no matter how closely the product they’re pitching aligns with your specific niche interests: assume it’s all complete bullshit until you’ve seen some gameplay posted by real people.
