NTC3'S PROFILE

physically assaulted for wearing the MAGA hat in the wrong place? No, you don't think it's bad. You will say so to appear anti-violence, but in the end, if you've terrorized your opponent into silence and inaction, you win.

Tell me what's gonna happen to a person wearing a hammer and sickle hat in the wrong place in America, then. Somehow, I think they'll find a range of "wrong places" to be much larger then those in MAGA hats.

This is not Trump vs the good and pure perfect little people. This is two supergroups of people in America who are irreconcilably in disagreement on two things:

"Our" cultural values, brought to its logical conclusion, is utopia. "Theirs" is the end of civilization. This is not reconcilable. It doesn't help that Dyhalto calls me a redneck for wanting a physical border wall (NOT a new or unique concept), but even if he wasn't name-calling, there'd be no common ground at this point because it's become clear we simply don't have any shared goals.

Trump could quit tomorrow and this cultural war would rage on.

And this is why I find the Chinese and Iranians are onto something with the one-party state. Then again, I haven't lived in either of those places, but I lived in Australia and can tell its compulsory voting also provides a decent check on such tendencies while keeping the multi-party system. Hell, the French two-round also seems to have some merit by providing true choice across the spectrum, for this election at least (anti-EU left, pro-EU liberal left, liberal centrism, Thatcherist right, protectionist anti-EU right). Some country ought to try and see what happens when the three aspects are melded together.

Machine alternates between regular attacks and the magicannon. Machine-R restores HP and Machine-L recharges the cannon, so killing them is usually a good idea, but killing the main body of the machine should be enough to win the fight.

You're creating an impossible situation. I'm civil. I'm not picking fights. But you're going to say I'm uncivil and picking fights. It doesn't matter what I do.

And you're going to get away with it because you're in the majority. And you're going to get away with posting memes from the 1990's.

You know, I think I'm starting to understand what "right-wing victim complex" refers to in the West. I mean, seriously, I'm Russian, where we operate on a whole other political spectrum, and yet somehow I've been posting on here quite fine.

I'm asking for you to justify the left's propensity to burst into riots and violence lately. You cannot even do that. All you can do is be shitty. You have no arguments, you have no thoughts. Only being shitty.

And this here, is exactly why identity politics is a dead end: it creates loose groups, and then ascribes every member of said group a responsibility to respond to the actions of any other member of it, regardless of how remote they might be from each other. This is as stupid and pointless as "White women elected Trump" posters at Women's March: it creates collective responsibility where there is no true collective in the first place. No one can speak for all of "white women" even in USA, and no-one can speak for all of "the left" there either. Consequently, nothing anyone writes on this board is going to have any bearing on whatever happens on that campus or on the streets elsewhere.

@ Corfaisus: I can see where you're coming from with your sentiment, but I'm a little unsure what I'm being accused of here. I mean, does "you have no right to interfere with their life post-review" really apply when this is the third (3rd) post I've made in this thread (including the OP) and have repeatedly expressed that I'm happy for nothing to change and wait for the wider public & the market to decide? I'll also quote from the first post I wrote under my own review (which was 7th or even 9th post there, btw):

Thing is, I had mostly positive responses so far, with a few rough edges that I thought I'd addressed over time.


Like I said, that's good. The burning question, of course, is whether enough outside players will share their view. I've seen warnings on some development blogs before that early followers can be a self-selecting group that might not be a good representation of the actual playerbase upon release. I suppose we'll only know this for sure once it releases. For now, best of luck, I guess.

I mean, can this really be construed as "active interference"? In fact, after this post, I quietly assumed nothing much was going to change with the game and was ready to move on. That is why I was so surprised to see the gamepages taken down, and why I felt I had to make a thread about it.
