Kinda sucks that this artist (Red and Black Salamander) never grew past their 2018 Bernie left phase, I used to like their stuff.

Kafka, but they make police procedurals about it.
  • Murder mystery as a genre did a massive damage to the society by convincing people that the police is good at solving murders. I believe that a large number of people are actually skeptical or cynical about the performance of the police, but they kept thinking about the murders and serial killers and thought "Without the police, who would solve all the murders?".

    Except of course, in reality the police actually fucking sucks at solving murders and mysteries.

  • I hate this trope in fiction:
  • Where the evil villain will go on a rant about how society is cruel and needs to change and that they’re going to change it. The hero opposes this for like zero reasons and somehow we’re supposed to be on the hero’s side.

    • The people are content with their lot but the villain just have to poison their mind with rabble-rousing.

    • Better thing is impossible, the villain's goal is only achievable by doing something bad.

    • The villain is lying and only use the rhetorics to gain personal power.

    • The villain was good but "went too far" and just fell down the slippery slope.

    • What they're going after is just not their right. It rightfully belongs to the hero or whoever they supported, as they're the only people in the society deserving of the benefits or responsibility of whatever they're fighting over by some infallible mandate.

    Straight up anti-communist rhetorics from the cold war.

  • Soviet Union made one (1) video game and it is such a banger that it gives its players visual hallucination

    Porkies have to spent billions of dollar in researching psychology to create an insane emotion manipulation system in their games to even reach the level of addiction Tetris reached decades ago. Something Tetris achieved by pure good gameplay.

    Imagine if the USSR still exist today (:ussr-cry:), we would've seen a game so good we would just straight up fucking dies.

    edit: Considering that games from post-eastern bloc countries continues to blow away western and Japanese in the terms of creativity means that this isn't really a joke. :lt-dbyf-dubois: made in the Estonian SSR would send you writhing on the floor speaking in tongues.

    Foreign mercenaries currently fleeing to Poland after 180 reportedly killed in Russian strike.
  • According to the 24/7 media feed they are likely to be consuming, unironically yes. They were expecting scared Russian conscripts herded by commissars and battalions worth of tanks abandoned on the side of the road. Again, that is what they actually believe.

  • Most well funded military in the world and US military's response to Chinese hypersonic missile is this

    https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2022/01/bringing-hypersonic-missiles-to-the-fleet-a-case-study-analysis/

    To the less military-brained folk here, the concept is to take land-based missile launcher trailer and plops them on the deck of the ships.

    This would be like if you have a warship with no gun so you just park a tank on the deck to make it up.

    Mobile game devs really did creates a whole ass fake genre instead of just creating good games

    Like these asshats knew damn well that pretty much everyone thinks that their games are ass, so they make these ads featuring fake games that actually looks interesting in order to trick people into thinking that they're downloading a good game.

    Capitalism breeds innovation :porky-happy: .
