pretty sure its sucker punch (sly cooper, infamous) not ubisoft, if thats any consolation. arguably same genre but imo better execution.

much like the original 1984 it was always, always projection

in addition to all the horrific shit happening wrt geopolitics and the various wars and hexbear doomers insisting that resistance is futile, i also somehow managed to piss off my roommate because i took their noodles out of an inactive microwave to microwave my own stuff. they say their noodles need to 'cook' after the microwave is off, but obviously the water will still be hot outside of the microwave, it doesnt stay hot after it turns off, definitely not hot enough to cook noodles. i just put them next to the microwave, but they scold me first thing when i wake up anyway. they even performatively put their noodles in for an entire second microwaving, like their noodles were already microwaved fully and were just cooling off, i did not interrupt that for enough time to warrant a second microwaving. of course if i were to point any of this out it would only cause strife drama and misunderstanding so im venting to internet strangers and feds on hexbear. i already woke up to horrific news from lebanon, already feeling suicidally depressed and wondering if fascism has simply won the physical plane of existence, already suffering the psychic damage from that idiot doomer in the news mega insisting that iran must cause nuclear armageddon or else they are cringe or something and the resistance has already lost and every single hezbollah commander is dead because the zionazis say so, and then this silly noodle shit happens. i hate existing. i cannot process these two kinds of existential horror, of fascisms seeming/alleged/apparent dominance of material reality and of my personal inability to coexist socially in a non-alienated/alienating way with the people around me, at the same time. i can't really even process them individually, all there is left to do is bear the suffering eternally.

fuck you, using this tragedy as a 'gotcha'. you would have been so sure the USSR was going to lose ww2. your armchair general 'iran shud just go all in brah' is contextless, detail-free, and completely useless '''analysis'''. i'm sure that the laws of physical materialism or whatever have proven that resistance is futile and that wealth hoarding and genocide are the superior social organization methods we will never be able to beat without triggering nuclear armageddon. we should probably just fucking give up on resisting a genocide. and maybe like get a single other source before posting zionazi propaganda as gospel 'hezbollah leadership is entirely gone' shit, iran is not going to trigger nuclear worldwide armaggeddon because you whine on a niche leftist internet forum. ignorant dunning kruger effect idiot that thinks 'just launch nukes bruh' is sound and comprehensive strategic advice.

most humans only care about animals insofar as they can be used as affection-toys or slaves, and adult hippos are un-cuddle-able, they will maul you and are very territorial, and you can't really use them for sustained economic activity like horses or donkeys, outside of like zoo exhibits.

they would need a shitload of nukes, nukes are powerful but it takes a lot more than like 1 or 2 to destroy a country as big as america, especially with so much of our military spread around the world (our f35s and probably our older jets can carry nuclear weapons without necessarily being as obvious as an ICBM). even if they used hypersonic missiles to deliver a shitload of nukes they had been somehow building in secret for decades, it is likely we would be able to fire at least some of our own much larger arsenal of slower ICBM nukes before our launch facilities etc. are completely annihilated, and as we have seen in israel and ukraine, intercepting even conventional missiles is a lot harder than it might seem. that's not even getting into impacts on global weather/agriculture and loss of major economic trading partners, even before all that you have to account for the basic concepts of 'mutually assured destruction', we will nuke them back if they nuked us in a way that didn't completely destroy our nuclear capabilities. China might be able to make one or two surprise nuclear attacks with hypersonics but i doubt they could stealthily hit all of our launch facilities, nuclear submarines, and aircraft carriers and airbases with one wave of attacks.

we basically need like aliens with miraculous stealth technology to simultaneously infiltrate all american (maybe all world) nuclear facilities and equipment to deactivate/destroy it like a giant metal gear mission.

pretty much, the first 2 lost planet games had some immaculate arcadey 3rd person gameplay, i was super hyped for 3 until i actually played it lol. i think they gave it to a completely different dev team for 3?

idk just what i've taken from the meme version of posadism, seems hard to rally planetary resources/energy for interstellar travel if you are busy giving all of your resources to inbred monarchs or finance ghouls and making economic decisions based on artificial gambling (stocks) and the short term profit of several large scale scams.

it has some pretty cool first person mecha gameplay, but afaik (i could never stick with it enough to finish) there are no mecha guns, only melee with drills and claws and grappling hook hands. on foot gameplay disappointed me especially compared to the first 2 lost planet games, its basically a worse gears of war style cover shooter imo, whereas lost planet 1 and 2 had almost monster-hunter-esque gameplay with those classic dodge animations and invulnerability frames and the option to have centered camera.

if there are any aliens observing us, now would be a great time to do an anti-imperialist intervention followed by some intergalactic communist nation building. we are all held hostage by western imperialists playing nuclear chicken with the rest of the world. a planet-wide hostage bomb vest where multiple factions have the button, in this scenario the faction with the least reluctance to use it will get their way. america and its vassals have been recklessly testing these nuclear boundaries, someone or something must put a stop to it.

the weird pseudo-office background art in those programs was a vibe tho. i don't remember literally anything else about it except the empty vaporwave mall aesthetic

i wish there were 'monster battler' games for generic faceless power armor goons, i guess xcom etc. kinda approaches that but those badguy soldiers in ff13 have some exquisite looking gear and neato vehicles, western devs rarely put the same thought into their sci fi designs imo

yea there's official lore saying she is 18 but she very much looks underage to me, idk maybe i'm overly sensitive.

half the time in final fantasy games i'd rather play as some of the generic monsters/goons rather than the overly be-buckled generic JRPG protagonists. i like almost everything about final fantasy except for the protagonist outfits/character designs. lemme play as the magitek armor mecha from FF15, idc about the generic k-pop boy band with exactly 1 personality trait each (i am even less interested in the problematic age gap relationship with the trenchcoat beanie guy and pink hair protagonists little sister in ff13). i wish more kinds of games had level editors and custom game modes.

on a tangentially related note i thought Scarlet Nexus had great monster designs, but i never finished that game because it let you 'date' a character who is 'trapped in a child's body since they stop aging after getting super powers' (plus it was kind of a generic hack n' slash, even if it did have cool setting visuals and political intrigue etc.)

'hostile population' just casually unpersoning an entire region of civilians because you don't like their government, Most Moral Army In The World folks.

broke: disengage

woke: just blocking them

bespoke: blocking them after writing your 10 paragraph reply, getting fully around the 'disengage = getting the last word in spell' issue and never having to think about the other user again

yup every time anyone resists genocide its cringe and cope and seethe unlike the chad genocidaires who will effortlessly win with no setbacks whatsoever. i guess we should just fucking give up. fuck off with your defeatism and genocidaire apologia (they are so strong we will never beat them uwu the resistance is cringe and coping and seething rn i totes promise)

GOOD POST
