  • Could’ve sworn there was an even earlier example of something similar with Doom 2016 where they played like they were just introduced to the concept of a video game. Like I know I play brutal doom and boomer shooters in general like an over hyped crackhead, I beat Boltgun at max difficulty with the clown vomit shader but that video was on the opposite side of the spectrum where they played like a toddler and got pissy about it.

  • A great example of spongier enemies with little additional difficulty is basically any Bethesda game, which is particularly bad with Oblivion and Fallout 3 since those two already have spongier enemies on average.

    Also you should add AI just outright cheating to this as well, it’s not as common as the previous two but it’s still there with some games namely strategy games of the paradox variety. I particularly hate it with EU4 cause luvky nations can go die in a fucking hole, I want the achievements if I’m gonna do an ironman run but I don’t want the already busted great powers to be even more busted.

  • In a lot of ways it was kinda inevitable from a cultural point of view. A lot of support for Israel has been historically driven by the Holocaust but as multiple factors have changed over the decades the direct support originating from the Holocaust and leading to Israeli support has slowly dried up. Between Israel being a genocidal shithole, the Holocaust fading into secondary memory, and the Holocaust being recognized as not just a Jewish but something that effected basically every minority have caused some of the collapse in support we’ve seen.

    Note I am not trying to underplay the horrors of the Holocaust and how much energy was focused on the Jewish people, I am simply lacking in the verbage required to not sound like a bit of a dick.

    Also the interconnected nature of the modern world makes Israels actions far more upfront and harder to suppress, we are far along from Jack Churchill making comments on the viciousness of it all but him being ignored.

  • Legit question, why the fuck do people seem to think government = a people? Like I fucken hate the English government, aristocracy, and royalty to the point I want to purge it but that doesn’t mean I want to exterminate the English as a whole. Is this a side effect of nation states? Or is it moreso a result of Israel in particular? Because I feel like I had folks accuse me of racism over hating certain governments and countries before namely N Korea, S Korea, and Russia but I don’t know if thats dishonesty or not.

  • Fun fact this is why I wear a Czech military field jacket as my daily jacket. Nobody else is wearing that shit near me and I get to wear the neat patches I’ve collected most of which are admittedly from Fallout. Also it pisses random stupid people off for reasons of stolen valor, the Czech Republic patch is still there my accent is distinctly hickish, and I purposely avoid any American military or NASA patches I do have. Plus above all else it keeps my pale ass from burning under the Mojave sun while also breathing quite well.

    If anyone knows where to get a non military equivalent of a Czech field jacket from 2010 I’m all ears, ideally it’s still be earthen tone just not camo. Also if anyone knows where to get a desert equivalent of Castros hat that’d be far more useful in the more immediate.

  • Which Americans are we talking? Because a Yooper, Scots-Irish Appalachian, Cajun Louisianan, and some poor bastard from Baker California have little in common. Hell I’m a Southern Californian Redneck and frankly if I have to interact with my Northern Californian ilk I’m stabbing someone and dumping their corpse in an open mine shaft.
