Yes I know that fascism 
is a playable ideology in Disco Elysium, but presenting fascism as with its integral ugly reality, glaring contradictions, and unsustainable death drive is a pretty leftist (and correct) way of portraying it. 
You're viewing a single thread.
Don't think there is an equivalent to Disco Elysium really, but there are lots of games where what you do is claim other people's stuff for yourself, take it by force and kill everyone who stands in your way, which is the essence of chud ideology. Many games have "individual power over others" as their main appeal.
i dont know what the fuck i just saw when i went to whatever eyesore of a sub that "brigade incoming" link took me to, but the top comment is a snapshot of your comment and them attempting to dunk on it as though communism is literally about killing people and just taking their stuff
i forgot that this is literally as deep as chud analysis goes, also i'm sure they have no fucking idea who the
were but if they're talking about the romanovs, fucking lol and also 
Communism is about individual power
Well duh. What does the comm stand for? Commune? Community? Those sound like individualist ideals to me

"You are the chosen one of epic destiny and the main character. Everyone else is a disposable NPC."
Exactly, and this kind of stuff is fun in games. Power is fun and makes you feel good. I like feeling like the chosen one of epic destiny when I'm playing warframe or world of warcraft or whatever.
But that doesn't make a very good political ideology
Honestly, most RTS games are basically fascist. Not like explicitly ideologically, but because the only thing you can do in them is build up a war machine and kill. There's no option to not build up an army and kill all your neighbors for territory.
Still love playing AOE though.

Not completely true, since AoE II (not sure if another game had it before AoE) there has been the "Wonder" victory condition. You can look at it as "defending your wholesome chungus enlightened monument of civilization from outside hordes" but that's still a different reactionary fantasy from the Manifest Destiny war machine.
Fair, but no one ever goes for a wonder victory unless they're playing with noobs or kids lol. It's too difficult to pull off against someone who knows how to play the military strategy.
And again, I don't think AoE is necessarily fascist, but the playstyle it asks in competitive mode kinda pushes you towards that type of thought. Not unlike games like Call of Duty or anything except in RTS games you're controlling a society instead of an individual which makes it a bit different.
