      Why post game jetpack?

      Every game is improved by having jetpack access at all times. Even better if paired with a grappling hook.

      Do what Avalanche couldn’t with Just Cause, get it right.

        I personally prefer the JRPG style Airship You Only Get When It No Longer Meaningfully Opens Up The Map And Is Mostly A Means To Reach The Final Chapter Zone

    Hot take: I’m tired of people blaming this on “lack of media literacy”, I don’t think this has anything to do with media literacy. I think the twerps who make this are more self aware than we realize and get this shit is sorta stupid and cringe but it’s ammo that supports their side in the culture war and they’re posting it anonymously anyway so they churn it out. I think they’re totally capable, in terms of their education and intellect, to have more literate understanding of media, they’re just not interested in it.

    I honestly think dumbass creeps like this will always exist, even under FALGSC or whatever, no amount of education is gonna snap them out of it. The real solution is to marginalize them. Bully them, censor them, create some limited amount of slop for them and try and do everything to encourage them to just spend all day guzzling their slop alone in their commie bloc apartment away from all the decent members of society.

      Yeah you’re right about my wording, I couldn’t think of a better catch-all term for “chuds refusing to engage with AND actively rewriting the material provided”. Grifters are a massive influence in the space along with blatant fascist recruiters ala Bannon’s 4ch campaign, and it’s depressing how well the OP works on swaths of extremely online young men

      In my experience internet nazis frequently espouse both “”“traditional family values”“” and horny ass shit like this in the same breath without any sense of irony or shame or cognitive dissonance. It’s incoherent because their politics are incoherent and completely performative

      CW: SA

      It’s the same reason the GOP pushes radtrad values while so many of them fuck children

        The backdrop of the protagonist’s revenge-murder-rampage is a conflict over territory. One faction is portrayed as morally grey at worst, and are shown to have a functioning settlement based in the Seahawk’s stadium with guns, agriculture, medicine, a cafeteria, and a gym. The other faction lives in wooden settlements, does primitive agriculture, and fights with bows and sticks. The penultimate action setpiece takes place as an invasion on the “primitive” faction’s land.

        These two sides are framed as being equal and both motivated by hate and genocide. The creator has come out and explicitly said as much that it was based off his own experience with the Palestine-Israel conflict.

        Key people behind its development said the anti-zombie safety wall, and the zombies, were inspired by what they saw in Israel Occupied Palestine. And they thought it was really cool.

          That sort of thing is why post-Romero zombie movies (and post-Romero zombie fans) are sus to me, especially when they get excited about their “Adult In The Room” mass killing fantasies after hurricanes and the like.

          The head of Reddit is one such cryptofascist ghoul, even bragging about getting his vision surgically corrected to begin his le epic zombie adventures post-collapse.

    Add an organization of hot vixens called “The Lonely Widows”

    They make Joel forget a bit about the pressures of surviving in an apocalyptic world.

    This step will make the game more enticing to customers.

    And they will form a competitive harem yearning for senpai to notice them and one will be a yandere and one will be a tsundere and at least one will be a moeblob of very dubious biological age and NO NO JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU CREEPS
