I believe REgon mixed up you and @[email protected].

You clearly lack reading comprehension. The quoted text is not trying to draw some distinction between “defending” and “celebrating one’s accomplishments” and say that the former is bad while the latter is fine. What it does do is point out that the common attack on socialism that accuses actually existing socialist states of being totalitarian hellholes and important historic socialist leaders of being dictators is a load of shit; using a consistent standard to compare them to their contemporaries would reveal that socialism accomplished many wonders starting from extremely difficult conditions and that most “democratic” leaders are far more monstrous than even the nastiest tales cooked up about Stalin and Mao.

Among what I just said and some other things, it makes a point that is very pertinent to this discussion: the characterization of tankies as “uncritically defending authoritarian regimes/dictators” (as asserted by the zine from the OP) and detesting literally all dissent regardless of what the content of that dissent might be (as you asserted) is also a load of shit that depends on treating socialist experiments as radioactive failures that are entirely bad and not worth defending. Tankies are perfectly capable of recognizing and criticizing the mistakes those experiments actually made; the commonly hurled criticisms are torn apart because they are factually wrong and made in bad faith.

The refusal to accept right wing framing on this being called a bad thing makes me think this is a bit.

I’m gonna have to start using that one.

Wow, our current political system prevents us from getting someone who’s third party elected for president, making our votes spoilers than can prevent one of the mainstream candidates from winning? No one I’ve ever encountered has brought that up before! WTF I’m pro Kdolf now! /s

I liked it quite a bit. The combat system is easy enough to wrap your head around. Being able to see what your chances of hitting different enemies are before you move is a nice touch. I played on daring and the game felt a little too easy at points.

The story is good and the companion characters (and some other npcs) are compelling. The game has roughly 3 “alignments” that decisions can fall under that give perks for advancing them. I played as a heretic, for instance, and got an ability from that alignment that lets me massively boost a party members’ stats for a few turns, but they fall prone afterwards.

Each character gets 2 classes as they advance. With that in mind the choices currently feel pretty limited.

The minigame Owlcat shoved into the game - ship combat - is actually pretty fun unlike in their Pathfinder games.

I beat Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader finally. Now I’m doing a fash playthrough of Disco Elysium.

Buh Chy Nah would have surpassed us more if not for Xi’s reforms.

Ah, butt yuo see, ham ass are terrorists, unlike the wholesome keanu chungus East Turkestan Islamic Movement.

Chick or treat.

He posted a picture of of a fat Master Chief to complain about games being “wokewashed”.

Why the fuck does Russia care what I think?

The evil Ruzzins are trying to undermine the integrity of our wholesome keanu chungus democracy. They want the cheeto in the White House because Putler is the cheeto’s puppet master! /s

Serious emoji potential.
