  • Remaster or remake? Cuss a remaster of Oblivion is literally just current oblivion with graphic fidelity mods and a community patch kit, like wtf is Bethesda doing anymore? I thought they knew they released broken games to be finished by their community development groups to save cash

  • Still alternating between Hollywood Animal (holy shit I never knew I needed a gritty 1930s inspired movie tycoon game but this one hits just right), and Blue Prince (an addictive rogue-lite puzzle game that is inspired clearly from the House of Leaves book).

  • Yup the CHIPS act, the massive broadband rollout that has still never been completed, subsidized research. It's honestly amazing how the tech industry still fails and sucks after being propped up.

  • He chose Le Soir over Le Pays Réel (an openly fascist pro francophone publication even before the war and occupation) though, which meant very little when most papers eventually became fash mouthpieces. Overall Herge just kinda did what most average people (Herge being a average propagandized Catholic monarchist) have done and likely will always do during a fash takeover of your country (head down and try to not get the gestapo to visit your home a second time). In a tier system of collaboration he'd be in the middle tier imho. Also between either Belgium or France I'd likely stick with the country I'm most familiar with given how both were ripe with "third wave" fanatics, neoliberals, and monarchists that never wanted to accept Marxism and instead go into revisionist death spirals (Henri di Man of the Belgian labor party for instance) and do jolly fash collaboration leading to starvation as the Nazis kinda just plundered whatever they wanted.

    tldr: surviving during fash occupation doing propaganda pieces for the Vichy government is a moral death pit and Herge never fully repented (and also said stupid shit about the french resistance), he at a minimum should have faced jail time

  • Well it was kinda at gunpoint cuss the gestapo hounded him from his previous publication house after he published 'Music above all' and said a lot of negative stuff about Hitler and Mousilini. Still he became a collaborator and made propaganda cartoons for the pro Nazi occupied Belgian press. He was also previously very much conservative and pro catholic opposition to "socialist atheism", a major fear at the time for Belgian clergy, so overall he'd likely be within the same political spectrum as the dude that made Dilbert.

  • The US is most definitely not assembling/making laptops and never will, the kayfabe or actual fucking belief these people have is amazing and horrifying all at once. Capitalist death spiral into openly deranged fascism is astounding.

  • Americanized Christianity (and what is in Canada as well) was HEAVILY formed by the puritans and other offshoots from England, a hated cult of masochists that believed individual suffering was divine punishment wrought by one's own moral failings and that a community should only be present to punish people that step out of line and not actually work together to survive. It is a religious belief set alien to catholic doctrine that usually leads to radicalized priests wanting material changes but instead is one that is perfectly suited to be nested alongside capitalism as a propaganda piece.
