Leftist with an incorrigible love for fancy aesthetics (mostly Renaissance Italy/Victorian England) that might be incorrectly read as a monarchist because of that.

Unicorn, but also occasionally gryphon.
God dammit Nintendo.
You’re somehow great AND the actual worst and I fucking hate you for it.
And I know why it happens, but still. FUCKING HELL.
Y’all are thinking small
It’s both
There’s an old person who wants to scare people off for some money making scheme. BUT. They somehow managed to recruit help from beyond the grave
That’s why you need both teams.
The 'busters will catch the spooky ghost
Mystery Inc will figure out who summoned it.
I don’t do diagnosing people with personality disorders based on their online behaviour
But I do recognise the patterns of a 4chan-using teenager, seeing as I used to be one.
They think they’re the coolest shit ever because they send people verbal abuse and can at least superficially get away with it because on the internet no one will give them a black eye for it.
They’ll grow up, eventually. Or they won’t and will become a fascist. Either way, they’re the one most deeply fucked over by their shit attitude.
Y’know
One time I said “gore in video games doesn’t look like real violence, it looks like someone disrespected a plate of italian food”
This lasagna or doom level meme always reminds me of that.
I mean if you wanna dive that deep, it started when some religious extremists got kicked out of England for being too extremist (for the british empire!) and moved to the new world, killing the people who previously lived there.
… But up until 2008 shit more or less held together? Not pretending 'murica was ever good, but it was the 2008 recession that caused its structure, however fucky it had been from first principles, to really break down.
Peep their profile, it’s full of this shit. I’m assuming “Chan user, possibly teenaged”
You’ve picked a pretty dumb hill to die on mate.
The estimated population of natives in the 1500s when the portuguese arrived was 2 million (according to IBGE), it was 302k by 1998 (also according to IBGE), and that’s AFTER decades of recovery efforts.
Edit: Jesus christ on a stick your profile.
Retro-style: DUSK, Prodeus, Serious Sam
More modern: Wolfenstein - The New Colossus, Doom 2016, BioShock 1 and 2
Spooky, “ghost train”: Doom³
Exploration oriented: Metroid Prime (and 4 is coming up!), Powerslave Exhumed
Yes and no.
Without Trump fucking shit up on a government level (the Supreme Court in particular), there would probably be less scary shit happening on that end. Would have slowed things down.
But the radicalisation of the Americans began before 2016. Trump is a symptom, not a cause. The disease started spreading as early as 2008. The recession, the damp squib that was the Occupy Wall Street event was the inception of many political movements, both far left AND far right.
That’s the thing people don’t realise. Even if Donald J. Trump didn’t exist, the underlying social tensions mean that inevitably someone would show up to galvanise far right sentiments, and the political estabilishment would have boosted them, whoever they were, because when the common folk are getting angry about their lot, then to the people actually in charge, a fascist dictatorship is preferrable to the alternative.
Can’t wait for Americans becoming refugees on other countries en masse and getting a taste of the bitter medicine that was the way they treated foreign migrants for decades.
You called?
I have a list of people allowed to diss Brazil
It does not include Anglos or Europeans.
Fellow Latin Americans and African folk can go crazy.
We also really fucked Paraguay up.

Unciv - this one’s especially good on mobile
FreeDoom
Sonic Robo Blast 2 if fangames are acceptable
Edit: Since I mentioned FreeDoom – Gzdoom acts as a sort of platform for Libre FPSes. Ashes 2063 and Wolfenstein Blade of Agony for instance.
Human beings may not be perfect but a computer program with language synthesis is hardly the answer to the world’s problems
I find myself appreciating Deus Ex more and more with the years…
… But also utterly unable to replay it because it’s too close to home now.
I’ve been playing Enderal (a Skyrim total conversion) with some added QoL mods on my Deck
Got MO2 working with Enderal on wine by using this. The script (and MO2 itself) is a bit janky but it does function. The only thing I couldn’t get working was the nexus mods URL integration thingie, had to download mod packages and add them manually.
The game itself runs like a charm on the Deck (after setting up a control profile anyway).
But there is the catch that being a Total Conversion mod that is available on Steam… Enderal itself points steam to SKSE on launch. Don’t know how it’d work if your starting point is Vanilla Skyrim.
(I also have no love for .webm as a video format)
That’s fair ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
